FRC M20
Welcome to FRC M20! This game will be a little different - No one (not even me!) knows what roles will be included before the game starts.
Currently, I’m planning on 15-16 players, but this number can change depending on interest.
1. GAMEPLAY
For this game we will be running a Mostly Closed Potentially Rolemadness game.
- Days will be 72 hours long
- Nights will be 24 hours long
- Mafia will get a factional night kill. A Mafia member cannot carryout the night kill if they are performing another night action. A factional nightkill is mandatory, even if all Mafia members have abilities. In this case, the Mafia must decide which member will not use their action. If no member is chosen, a random member will be chosen to carryout the nightkill and their action will not be used.
- All night actions must be set in 60 min prior to SOD.
2. POTENTIAL ROLES and ALIGNMENTS
Town
Town win when they eliminate all Mafia, including any Traitor.
Mafia
Mafia win when the number of Mafia is equal to or greater than the number of Town.
Traitor
The Traitor is Mafia Aligned, but will not be part of the Mafia group chat at the beginning of the game. They will only join the Mafia group chat if the Mafia can successfully guess their identity.
Mafia will get one guess (as a group) each night. If they guess correctly, the Traitor will join their chat. However, they must be careful because they could nightkill the Traitor by mistake.
The Traitor will automatically take over the mafia nightkill if all other Mafia are killed, before they are found by the Mafia; however, they will not be added to the Mafia group chat.
The Traitor has a 50% chance to exist.
Love
Love is neither aligned with Town or Mafia, but instead Love, as well as the two Lovers sharing a chat, must survive until the beginning of Day 4. If this is accomplished, Love wins and the game continues.
Love has a 50% chance to exist.
Pseudojester
The Pseudojester does not start the game as aligned with any alignment, but will instead join the alignment of the player that kills or eliminates the Pseudojester.
The Pseudojester has a 50% chance to exist.
The below roles may or may not exist. Roles will be randomized prior to the start of the game, as well as quantity. Roles that are alignment-specific will be marked as such in this post.
Each role has a hidden probability assigned to it, as well as a strength. The strength is used to determine how many roles for a specific faction are in the game. There is a 50-50 chance of the Traitor and Love existing. The probability of each role is the probability that it will be in the game.
A positive strength indicates a role that predominantly helps Town. A negative strength indicates a role that predominantly helps Mafia.
A random strength between 0 and 20 will be rolled before I choose any roles. Once the strength of one faction’s roles hits that limit, I will continue to roll all other factions until they hit approximately this limit (give or take 5)
No roles or modifiers can be hidden. All modifiers and limitations to a specific role will be included in the role card.
The number of Mafia (Not including the traitor) will be revealed at the start of the game. Existence of the Traitor will not be confirmed at this time.

The number of Town and Mafia will be determined once signups end. However, we will keep as close to a 1:4, scum to town, ratio as possible.
3. ELIMINATIONS
• Mafia 451 has a built-in voting feature - to vote, click the hammer button at the top of the editing screen and type in the name of the player you’re voting.
• Days 1-2 will have a deadline elimination - whoever has the most votes when the 72 hour timer expires will be eliminated.
• Days 3 and on will have a plurality elimination - if majority is reached on a player, the day will end immediately with their elimination, but if majority isn’t reached whoever has the most votes when the timer expires will be eliminated.
If majority has been reached, stop posting immediately. Repeated or egregious failure to comply will result in a modkill.
4. GAME RELATED QUESTIONS
1.) Does Roleblocking apply to daytime abilities?
Nope. Role block only affects roles with Night actions.
2.)What happens if a Role Cop checks someone without a role?
The result they get back is VANILLA. Otherwise the RC would be almost better than the Alignment Cop in this setup which would make no sense.
3.) Can the Pardoner pardon his/herself from elimination?
No. The pardoner can save everyone else from elimination though.
4.) What is the traitor’s alignment if checked by the Alignment cop?
The Traitor is still counted as town if not recruited. So an Alignment cop will get back whatever result a check on an Innocent Town would return. However if the Traitor is ever “found” by the mafia, their Alignment changes to Scum. If checked after recruited, or on the Night of recruitment the check will return Scum.
5.) What happens if the Traitor is investigated by a Cop the same Night Mafia recruit him/her?
Investigation is one of the last night actions we resolve, whereas Traitor will be before it. So if the traitor gets recruited the Cop will see them as Scum the next day.
6.) Can the neighborizer be stopped by roleblocker or jailkeeper?
No. The Neighborizer action takes place at the beginning of the night or when the Neighborizer chooses their new neighbor. All other actions are resolved at the end of night, just before start of day.
