Mayor, even with the nerf, is still a brokenly OP role. check his page in the wiki for the alternative mayor game section and see why.

Regardless, Mayor needs no counters =P

This role has a ton of flaws I'd like to point out.

The ability to completely control the outcome of one being guilty/innocent is trash. It's fine if it's just one vote of a player but for the overall lynching result, this is not good for game balance.

2 uses is sufficient enough for me, although I can already see a flash forward of how the role can be totally useless with this way of ability usage.

where do those 3 anonymous inno votes come from when you're trialled? out of nowhere? ez bust, get rekt by Vig/Jailor/whoever can kill and wants maf DED. 3 random players have their votes rigged to inno? then that's RNG and gives BMG all the rights to throw this role off in the trash.

Not seeing other mafia member's names is reasonable to prevent the role from being OP and inno-rigging the votes whenever they're up, but it may be ridiculed by BMG. All mafia are supposed to know each other, that's the advantage mafia should have with all members. Theey could also just say their names in chat provided there's no Spy or they just risk it and the Spy thinks it's a trick.

A mafia role that can flip any moment to Town and win with them? Heck no, scrap that idea. no mafia role should be able to reveal, the point of the Mafia faction is to remain hidden and anonymous. Converting the role to a different faction makes the whole thing a lot worse.

Scrap the role idea or fix it, please =T
