Summary : The 2nd leader of the Mafia, directly under the Godfather.

'''The Mafia don't NEED a Boss... that's exactly what the Godfather is... and the second-in-command of the GF is already the Mafioso.'''

Immunities : None.

ABILITIES

Keeping your family in check :

- You wield a journal, exclusive to the Boss role, and it cannot be seen by anyone else. It will not be revealed when you die. This journal will automatically record every action committed by the Mafia. This includes every murder, forgery, cleaning up, blackmailing and so fourth. If any Mafia member were to die ; the journal would also record how they died, e.g by lynch or murder by [role]. If you were to die, your journal would be given to any active Mafia killing role. The higher ranking role would hold the journal. If the GF is dead, the Mafioso is given the journal.

'''So what use does this even have? Sounds like useless coding. Just look through the chat for what happens.'''

Family comes first :

- If you, the Boss, were to die by any circumstance, you will be temporarily revealed as your chosen Mafia role. So, instead of stating your role as a Boss, it will state your role as a Janitor or any other Mafia role. You can choose what role you "want to be". It will then reveal in the game chat, after 1 night, that [player name] was actually the Boss of the Mafia, and not [chosen role].

'''So nerfed Disguiser... but it makes the Town think RM is dead. But this IS RM, so in Ranked this is useless unless the Any is Mafia.'''

2nd to the Godfather :

- Like the GF, you have more authority over other members. However, instead of ordering murders, you get to override other actions, like cleaning, blackmailing etc. This functions exactly the same as the one the Godfather has. However, you can only overlap actions 2 times.

'''Kind of encourages gamethrowing... a troll Boss can make the Janitor rando-clean someone who isn't going to die...'''

RESULTS

Sheriff - Not Suspicious.

Investigator - Lookout/Amnesiac/Coven Leader/Boss?

Consig - Target has extremely high authority in the Mafia, but is 2nd to the Godfather. Your target must be a Boss.

Needs to be shortened...

this is just my thought of a Boss role. :) The Mafia doesn't need a "second to the Godfather", because that's exactly what the Mafioso is. This also encourages gamethrowing and has three separate abilities that don't really go together well.

OBLITERATED!
