The Mafia Speed Series

**Number of Seasons** | 6

*This is the main page for the Mafia Speed Series! For the Mafia Long-Term Series, see here!*
***The Mafia Series*** is a Speed series that brings players together in playing in intense game of *Mafia*. This series was founded in October 2021, and it sprang from the the main series that was created about a year before. Currently, every game is hosted by *Hoola92*, with *Bernkastel* occasionally appearing as a co-host. These unique games do not take the normal one-four weeks, but instead are played in one day over the span of a few hours!

There are currently **six** seasons of this series, which is currently airing on *The Dustwave Network*. Each game contains different roles, players, and twists. The various details of the series and its seasons can be viewed below. Please contact any of the crew members to learn more about participating in the series!

# ***Crew***

*For the crew, please visit the main page.* For simplicity, all Speed Seasons are hosted by **Hoola**.

* Starting with *The Shed*, **Bernkastel** began co-hosting the speeds alongside Hoola.

# ***Series Overview***

*For an overview of the game of Mafia, please visit the main page.* This revision to the game functions similarly, but each deadline is set to 5-15 minutes rather than 24 hours. The players must stay online throughout the entire game. Players are not required to send much in their confessional aside from their actions and votes, and all group chats are created through DMs, as long as Hoola is added to the group chat.

# ***Roles***

Every player is given a different, unique role (although, some roles can have duplicates in certain games). Each season typically contains a different set of roles, but please note that all roles from the the main series are not eligible to appear in speeds. Below is the full list of (currently) available roles for Mafia Speeds.

All roles function identically to their main series counterparts, **except for the sheriff**. The sheriff, for speeds only, reverts back to its original use. Every night, the sheriff can scan one player to find out if they are aligned with the villagers or not. If the sheriff searches a non-villagers, then they will be told that the searched player is evil, and the sheriff will not be able to search during the following night. However, the Head Mafia is still very elusive to the sheriff. If the sheriff searches the *starting* Head Mafia (and not accomplices who are promoted to the role), then this Head Mafia will still show up as a villager. In addition, the sheriff role is *not necessarily* present in the game.

# ***Seasons***

Currently, *The Mafia Speed Series* has **4** seasons. All of the seasons are listed below, and the season pages contain summaries of the twists and gameplay of the season. Season numbers are in terms of the canon series.

# ***Players***

The Mafia Series has boasted 38 different players. A complete list of these contestants is given below.

# ***Trivia***

* While Hoola had previously considered the ideas of Mafia Speeds, Pho's suggestion eventually brought the concept to fruition.
	+ Coincidentally, the series was founded 12 months after the original series, although the first season didn't air until October 2022.
	+ Furthermore, the first speed did not occur until 10 months after the initial announcement for this spin-off series.
* Because speeds are so fast and can be spectated by all members of the server to some extent, there is no viewing lounge for these games.
