- All special roles will be drawn from a pool of possible roles.

- The mafia must vote on who to hit, and who in the mafia carries out the hit. The decision will be made by majority. A vote will only be counted if there is both an assassin and a victim chosen.

- No roles or affiliations will be revealed upon death, unless a power specifically enables it.

- In this game, not only is loss possible for any factions, but it is possible for ALL factions to lose, thus ending in a tie.

- Any player may publicly declare victory for their faction at any time. To declare victory, post "MY FACTION WINS" like you would a vote. It will only be counted if it is truthful. Beware declaring victory, as there are conditions... read on! NOTE: the game will continue as normal until either victory is successfully declared or all factions lose!

- Mafia victory must be publicly declared before victory is given. If the mafia has numbers equal to or greater than the town (and third party, if present), a mafioso must post to that effect during the phase their victory would become assured. Failure to do so will result in the death of a mafioso chosen at random at the end of the phase. Prematurely declaring victory will also result in the death of a random mafioso. Inability for any player in the faction to declare victory results in a loss by default. Losing all mafiosi results in a loss.
Example: In a day phase where 2 to 3 townies and 1 mafioso left remaining, the last mafioso must declare victory at some point during that day phase to attain victory. This could be as done as late as the final minute, just as long as it's done before the phase change time.

- Town victory must also be publicly declared before victory is given. Otherwise, the game will continue until victory is rightly declared or there is only one to two players left. The Town wins when all other factions are entirely wiped out. Declaring victory while another faction has living players will result in the death of the townie that declared victory unjustly. If there is only one townie left alive, the town will lose by default. Mafia victory results in a loss for the Town. Inability for any player in the faction to declare victory results in a loss by default.
Example: Any phase after the last mafioso (or possible third party) dies, any townie may declare victory to win.

- Diego Armando/Godot: If hit, Diego Armando joins the mafia as "Godot" instead of dying. The night result for the hit will be "No one died during the night.", just as if the hit was unsuccessful or the hit was blocked. Godot comes with a separate hit request that may be used so long as the game isn't in MYLO or LYLO. Post-defection Godot isn't able to be revived once dead.

- Larry Butz: Every night phase, Larry may investigate another player. The accuracy of these investigations is determined at the beginning of the game, and Larry is not informed of his level of accuracy. The levels of accuracy are 100% (always accurate), 50% (alternates between accurate and inaccurate starting with one chosen at random), 0% (all investigations are the opposite of what is true: thus, inaccurate), -50% (all investigations return with a "town" result), -100% (all investigations return with a "mafia" result), or -9001% (Larry dies during his investigation... of himself. His result is posted on the thread).

- Sister Bikini: Every night phase, you may be able to revive a dead player (regardless of faction). However, you cannot revive someone you have already revived before, and cannot revive yourself.

- Damon Gant: Every night phase, you may hit a player as you would as mafia. Hitting a non-vanilla player results in your death as well, however.

- Bandaged Apollo: You count as two townies as far as the mafia win condition is concerned. You can never declare victory. As long as you are alive, any attempt made by the town to declare victory results in failure.

- Romein LaTouse: You are not told that you are Romein LaTouse, only that you are a protection role. Every night phase, you may protect another player from death- at the cost of your own life.

- Wendy Oldbag: You are not told that you are Wendy Oldbag, only that you are a protection role. Every night phase, you may protect another player from death. However, if that target player tries to activate any power, they will not get any results.

- Adrian Andrews: You are not told that you are Adrian Andrews, only that you are a protection role. Every night phase, you may protect another player from death. However, if you happen to target Franziska von Karma, both Adrian and Franziska will be removed from the game and declared victors. If Franziska von Karma dies at any point in the game, so does Adrian (both being unable to be revived). If Adrian is removed in this manner, she cannot be revived.

- Franziska von Karma: Every night phase, you may target another player. That player isn't able to use players or use hit requests for that night. Targeting the same player twice in a game results in that player's role being taken and replaced with a vanilla role- at the cost of Franziska's ability to use her power. If Franziska ever targets Adrian Andrews, Adrian dies and Franziska will be removed from the game, both losing. If Franziska is removed in this manner, she cannot be revived.

- Celeste Inpax: You commit suicide at the end of Night Three, unable to be revived. However, the next day phase will reveal the roles and affiliations of all players killed during that phase.

- Ted Tonate: You are an obvious mafioso. When you die, your role will be revealed upon death. However, if you are lynched, you will take a random player that voted for you along with you (neither player will be able to be revived).

- Sal Manella: The mafia is not informed of your existence, nor are you given the list of mafiosi. Your hit vote has a double weight to it in mafia hit request votes. The mafia cannot declare victory as long as you are alive. This role will not exist if the mafia only begins with one player.

- Terry Fawles: You commit suicide at the end of Night Three, unable to be revived. After you die, the mafia gains another collective hit request during the next night phase only. This role will not exist if the mafia only begins with one player.

- Morgan Fey: Every night, you may revive a dead player. If a revived player is killed, you may not bring that player back to life again. You may only revive a mafioso the same night you are the successful target of a hit request. Mafioso revival may be triggered by ANY mafioso as long as Morgan Fey still is alive, as long as it's included in their hit request.

- Darian Crescend: You have an extra hit request you ay use during a night phase. However, if you use it, you will have your role publicly revealed in the same phase and become ineligible for being revived.

Kristoph Gavin: You win when there is only one player left: you. You may only declare victory at that time. You will start as a "vanilla mafioso" within the mafia, and are imbued with all the powers of a vanilla mafioso. Your powers are:
- During Night Zero, you have a special hit request that can be used on anyone, revealing their role upon death. Unless specifically stated in the target player's role, they are still eligible for being revived.
- During every night after Night Zero, you have a separate hit request that only works on other mafiosi.
- If the town or mafia attain victory before you do, you automatically lose.
- If the town and the mafia somehow lose during the same phase, you automatically lose.
- The mafia may successfully declare victory when you are alive, because you count towards mafia win condition numbers.
- If you are the last player alive due to a player dying from an invalid victory claim, you lose.

If for any reason it is determined that I am in violation of the MAMA, I understand that I will be penalized for my actions with or without warning, inclusive of being expelled from current and/or future games.
If you are incapable of abiding by this agreement, do not play the game.
