*Arbiter's Takeover Mafia,* or "AT" as it is referred to by the community, was a Starmen.net Mafia game that ran from April 23, 2020 to May 22, 2020. The game had a difficulty of three and a half on the Dandee Meter, featured eighteen players/characters (twelve Townies, five Mafia, and one Independent), and lasted for eight in-game days. The host of the game was Striker, with DJ Neutron Star as the cohost. The game's MVPs were MariettaRC and Gamma Emerald.

The writeups of the game are set in a physical form of Starmen.net and follow the events of a being known as The Arbiter appearing, kidnapping the Narrator, and taking their place to wreak havoc on the site. The player's in their Mafia game are mostly characters from previous games, in addition to a few site attributes, a common game occurrence, and a famous spambot.

## Setup

Arbiter's Takeover had a semi-open role setup and fully closed flavor setup. A singular role and several gameplay mechanics were shared during the signup post, but no characters were mentioned. Additionally, AT was unique in that a player's role was not revealed when they were killed or hammered due to the inclusion of a custom role. The game had an semi-advanced setup featuring a Town consisting of a Vengeful Miller, Inventor, Ghoul, Motivator, Faith Healer, Mourner, Roleblocker, Nurse, Cop, Tracker, Bleeder, and Messenger, a Mafia consisting of a Messenger, Roleblocker, Jack of All Trades, and Role Reveal Disabler (said custom role), and a singular Independant Werewolf.
