Mafia

The Mafia have a very simple aim, kill all the Townies and the Neutral Killing as well. Usually the Mafia have standard roles, but in Custom mode there are a number of specific Mafia. All Mafia members can talk to each other at night regardless of their role. Any Mafia member whose role isn't to kill someone will become a Mafioso when there are no Mafia Killing left.

Some mafia roles can take a lot of practice to master to aid their team to victory.

Strategies

 * If one of the Mafia is being hung and you could not prevent it, vote guilty to avoid suspicion of being Mafia. This will also allow you to point out anyone who abstained or voted innocent as possible Mafia.


 * If someone is being accused of being Mafia and they are not, not killing them will waste the Town's time investigating them at night or questioning them during the day. On the other hand, killing them may redirect suspicion to the accuser.


 * The Mafia's greatest strength is knowing their allies and being able to talk to them privately at night. If someone in the Mafia is being accused of being Mafia, you can team up with the other Mafia to invent "proof" that they are innocent; e.g. claiming that you roleblocked your Godfather or Mafioso, have been healed by a Mafia member, having transported them etc. This will cause the remaining town to be unsure who is lying, giving you time (or possibly lynching a Town member) until the town does not have the numbers to lynch you anymore.
