 * Already looking like a nerfed consig...

Attributes:  Collect the results from the Mafia from their last action if they die. When there are no capable Mafia roles left you will become a Mafioso first. You can talk with the other Mafia at night.

;Remove the becoming mafioso first thing, just keep it with the norm- whoever joins the lobby first will become the mafioso first. Also, do you mean the red message thing?

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target has sensitive information to reveal. They must be an Investigator, Consigliere, Mayor, or Boss.

Consigliere: Your target reveals the side people choose and collects the last results for the Mafia. They must be the Boss!


 * really.....????

Goal: Kill all who will not submit to the Mafia.

Messages:

Town: "Your target is a member of those who will not submit. They are in the Town!"

Mafia: "Your target works for your side. They are in the Mafia!"

Neutral: "Your target sticks to themselves at all costs. They must be Neutral!"

Consigliere: (Message of that role)

Janitor: "You secretly know your target was a (role)" (You can also view the will)

Godfather or Mafioso: "Your target is immune!"

Framer: "(Player)'s framing target was investigated!

Disguiser: "(Player) disguised as a (role)!"

Forger: "(Player) successfully forged (Player)'s will!/(Player) did not manage to be forged!"

Consort: "Player" was successfully roleblocked!/(Player) tried to roleblock a Serial Killer! (WW doesn't get affected since there is no known message)"

When, for say, a Janitor dies after cleaning someone, the Boss gets the role and will from that cleaned person. If the Janitor DOESN'T die, the Boss gets nothing. Same works for a Consigliere or the Mafia Killing.
 * is it automatic or do you have to choose it? And it's not the red message I guess..... Also, is this for any role?

The Mafia role HAS to die in order for you to get the collected information.

When the last Mafia KIlling dies, you will be the FIRST to become a Mafioso, then the first person who joined the lobby next will become it.

If there are multiple Bosses, whoever joined the lobby first for that regard will become the Mafioso.

When you get a faction, you will not know what role exactly they are. This may be a very nerfed Consig, but you gain the resulta from the Mafia if they die while doing an action and minimizes the chance for an important role, such as a Consigliere, becoming a Mafioso first and having no way to gain more info, becoming balanced and useful.

Seems pretty interesting, but remove the faction thing. Otherwise it would be a double ability role that would be overpowered. How about every night you just see what red message a mafia gets? and there could be some extra mechanics, like seeing thw firged will or the clened person's role. Those are just my suggestions though
 * oh now I see why you become a mafioso first, but it could also harm your mafia. What if you become mafioso over say, a framer?
