Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-30105631-20161231065142

So this is a buff created for the godfather, designed to help buff the mafia.

It was created to be interesting, original, and

Role Idea: The Godfather

Alignment: Mafia Killing

Ability: 

Direct the mafioso to kill somebody

OR

Replace all members of the mafia with a new team

Mechanics:

You may only replace your mafia if you are the only surviving mafia member left

When you replace your mafia, the new team has 5 people - a mafioso, a new godfather (without this ability) and 3 other support/deceptions which are chosen at random.

The new team cannot talk during the day, and can only watch the game and act during the night. They do not appear on the list of players.

You no longer have access to your abilities. The new team must handle that for you.

If you die, then the mafia lose because the new team don't count as players, they just have control of the mafia.

The new mafia members are chosen from a seperate queing lobby that people can join. When someone requests a new mafia team, 5 people are chosen from the lobby and get to join a game.

Why?

The point of this role is so that the mafia can truly have a last ditch effort - when the godfather is the only member remaining, he can call in a 5 man strong mafia to give the mafia a massive boost and the ability to possibly win. This would be a great buff for the mafia, and would be a hugely dynamic change in gameplay because people would want the godfather to be dead first so there's no chance of a whole new team of mafia.

Possible Variation:

Instead of the godfather losing his abilities and a new godfather and mafioso coming in with a team of 3 support/deceptions, the godfather keeps his abilities and brings in 2 supports and 2 deceptions. Again, if the GF dies the new team dissolves and loses with the original mafia, and the new maf can only talk at night.

The new mafia will win if the mafia wins, and so will the old mafia.
