Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-37322933-20191218221207/@comment-37322933-20191229001228

hold up, no

you give someone who isn't a Mafia member powerful defense, and your Mafia allies can visit that person to also get defense if they want

you can't directly protect the Mafia yourself

... admittedly the one extra vote mechanic isn't super helpful but it can play a big role in late game when majority and numbers really count

but basically I'm pretty sure you're reading the role wrong
