### Mafia Roles

Busboy, Counterfeiter, Godfather, Headhunter, Marksman

### Non-Default Settings

Informed Daystart OR Nightstart (No Kill Night 1)

## Description

For when you're bored of Basic20. Less swingy, powerful roles and more role interactions, including some item-givers. Marksman is funnier than Hitman and the mafia have an info role now.

## Optimal Play

### Town

#### Author

If you meet with the Gossip, consider giving them the will right away. Otherwise, try to deduce who might be the Cop or Gossip.

The will is also useful if it is given to the player who received the dreamcatcher.

#### Cop

Consider roleswapping, as the Marksman's gun can kill you despite Medic's presence. Always write your full notes in your will if you receive one. Keep in mind that both Miller and Godfather are present in the setup.

#### Gossip

It is best to choose players you think are town PRs. Ask everyone to RR to you: players have nothing to hide to a confirmed town, and anyone who does is suspicious for that reason. You can also ask players for their reads and let them know who you've met with previously in case you met with a mafia member recently. Keep detailed notes of all the information you learn, making sure to copy everything into your will if you receive one.

If you meet with an Author or Weaver claim, ask them to give you their item if they haven't given it out already.

#### Medic

Standard Medic play applies, although knowing Gossip could help you prolong their death.

#### Revenant

You are a weak bait role. Your main function while bleeding is to bait a Marksman shot to waste their gun. This can be most easily achieved with a convincing Cop claim.

Once you are bleeding, you can either lead as a confirmed town or stay silent, hoping a mafia member might accidentally slip up by knowing you are or might be Revenant.

If you get the dreamcatcher, your power as a bait role grows exponentially since you can out the Busboy as you die.

#### Villager Claim (Sleepwalker, Trickster, Villager)

Play as normal. As Trickster, don't announce who you give your gun to if Counterfeiter is alive or Medic is dead.

#### Weaver

Give the dreamcatcher to the Gossip, if possible. If not, give to someone you think is a town PR, especially Revenant. Ask the Gossip to tell you who the Revenant is if they know.

The dreamcatcher can be used to out the Counterfeiter or deduce the Headhunter.

### Mafia

#### Counterfeiter

Counterfeiter allows the mafia to CC the two item-giving PRs more easily. Depending on how worried you are about being caught by the dreamcatcher, you can give out a single will or dreamcatcher, one of each, or one every night. The last of these will leave your options the most open, but is not entirely necessary.

It is easier to CC Author than Weaver. The real dreamcatcher may reveal visitors, verifying the true Weaver claim. Author is a safer bet.

Counterfeiter's presence also discourages Trickster from announcing the player they give a gun to. If they do this, you can give that player a broken gun if they are town to increase the chance that they die when using a gun.

#### Headhunter

Usually HH should check for Villager but beware of the Sleepwalkers and Trickster which will screw your results.

#### Marksman

Shoot wisely. Your gun can be used to bypass Medic, but both mafia and a bleeding Revenant might fakeclaim Cop.

After a night with the Gossip, consider shooting them immediately. A Gossip may alert players of who they previously met with to discourage the mafia from killing them as soon as possible, but your gunshot occurs before information can be passed to the Gossip's next target.
