All right, you have played all kinds of variations of the classic mafia game, but you haven't had the complete experience, unless you play the 3 faction, Innocents vs Killers vs Cultists GOT version. Advanced Mafia is where it's at, so here is an introduction:
Setups that have more than one minority faction. Serial Killers and other one-person groups do not count; this setup is specific to evil factions of multiple players. Multi-faction setups force the killers/evils to themselves seek to eliminate opposing factions, which might make them look innocent, but can also make them appear suspicious if a late-game votecount analysis points to them only catching scum of a single faction. They can also of course eliminate each other, which tends to help the innocents and is often used for balance.
Evil minority in a multi-faction game don't necessarily have to be equal in numbers; factions with fewer members are usually balanced with more power. Multi-faction games can wind up as draws that in turn will be decided by corresponding tie breakers. My favorite multi-faction type game is Innocents vs Killers vs Cultists, where the cultists start with a single member who is the cult leader and gets to convert an innocent every night, this makes for a very exciting game. Here is the basic structure, rules and roles:
Ideal Setup
Total players: 18-24
4 Killers/Mafia
1 Cultist
12 Innocents
1 Roled Innocent
Mechanics
Cult Rules:
Cult has a maximum size of 4, which includes dead cultists.
They cannot recruit town power roles, the mafia, the mafia's kill target or the vigilante's night kill target. Any attempt to do so will cause the cult's night to be wasted.
The cult never get a night kill.
The cult can attempt to recruit every night if not a max size.
Innocents Power Role Notes:
The cop only detects mafia members.
The Vigilante can only shoot once per day and night phase. This means he can shoot either Day 1 or Night 1 but not both.
Tiebreaker Mechanics:
If any scum faction makes a majority of the game, they win.
If the game results in a 1 v 1 v 1, cult wins.
If the game results in equal mafia and cult with no innocents, cult wins.

can we stop trying to add stuff?
idk, no offence, but every game seems to be getting more and more complicated to the point it's getting a little tiresome
i don't see what's wrong with the original format and rules

I think I'm siding with Shade on this one. While kidding is easy, adding too many roles can make it so players just go insane as we are seeing with the current Mafia

So many roles? There is only one role for innocents, killers kill every night, and cult leader recruits an innocent every night.

Maybe I could help explain.

There won't be any serial killers in this game and the only power role will be on the innocents side.

Some notes on the game: General Rules: 1- Day time lasts 16 hours, Night time lasts 8 hours. 2- Day only ends early in case of a unanimous vote. 3- Thread will remain open during night. 4- It's recommended that players browse the forum in invisible mode while playing. 5- Players can request extensions to day and night phases. 6- Lurkers will only receive one warning before they are mod killed. 7- Lynching happens only in case of majority vote.
This one is up to you: 8- There will not be coroner finder if the majority of players are OK with it (it means that I will not reveal dead players allegiances).
