So, my goal is to get 9-13 players for a Smalltown setup, all weapons will be selected prior to alignments being randomized. I will release the list of available weapons once it seems likely that we will get a game.
Absolutely 0 tolerance for AtE.
I’ve got a special, delightful twist on mafia for you with all of the chaos of gladiators. First, a trip to the armory, here are the arms which you will be drafting at the start of the game. The draft occurs before alignments are handed out.
Andabata Blindfold + Dagger
Each arena battle phase, you will randomly target a player, you won’t know who it is. During the day, you are a double voter.
Bestiarius - Beasts
Each arena battle phase, you may target a player, if that player receives a majority vote, they will bill role-blocked instead of eliminated. You may not use this action on consecutive arena battle phases. If this action is self-targetted, there is a 50% chance of immediate death, mafia team members count as self-targeting.
Cestus - Unarmed
Each arena battle phase, track a player. If that player receives a majority vote, you will be eliminated instead.
Dimachaerus - Two Swords
Each arena battle phase, you may target two players or prevent one player from targeting you.
Eques - Horseman
Each arena battle phase, you may watch a player. You may not watch the same player on consecutive arena battle phases.
Essedarius - War-Chariot
Each arena battle phase, you may target two players as a bus driver, redirecting actions between them. Actions targeting these players will not be informed of the redirect
Hoplomachus - Gladius + Buckler
Each arena battle phase, you may redirect actions from one player to one other player.
Laquearius - Lasso + Dagger
Each arena battle phase, you may roleblock a player.
Murmillo - Heavy Armor
You must be targetted twice in order to be eligible for day elimination
Provocator - Gladius + Shield
Each arena battle phase, you may prevent one player from targeting you. Once per game, during the Execution Phase, a gladiator action may be used against any player in the game, you are one of two players who may use this action.
Retiarius - Weighted Net + Trident
Each arena battle phase, you may jail keep a player.
Sagittarius - Mounted Bow
Each Execution Phase, you may target a player
Scissor - 2 Bladed Sword
Each arena battle phase, you may target a player. If that player is not eliminated during the Execution Phase, they become marked for death.

Playing & Winning
All gladiators seek to become Rudiarius, if you are worthy, the Emperor will hand you a wooden sword as a symbol of your freedom. Gladiators beware, as I have assigned Roman legionnaires to ensure that none of you see that freedom. It is up to you to find them, and defeat them in the arena!
The game is made of two phases, the Arena Battle Phase (Night), and the Execution Phase (Day). During the Arena Battle Phase, all Gladiators will submit their targets, this is the phase where the glory is won and gladiators best their opponents in combat… Though Gladiators are not permitted to kill during this phase, the Legionnaires have been assigned orders to do just that. During the Execution Phase, only players who have been targetted will be eligible for execution, the Emperor has graciously delegated this decision to you, the gladiators.
Be wary, Legionnaires can return to the armory exchanging their current role for a 1-shot ability of any role in the game, once per game abilities cannot be used in this way. The factional kill ability held by the Legionnaires must be used once per Arena Battle Phase.
The Emperor has no love for democracy, so if a majority cannot be reached during the Execution Phase, the Emperor himself will decide who is to be killed.
The Emperor is also willing to promote any Gladiator to Rudiarius if they successfully combat & kill a Roman Legionnaire, he leaves this decision in the hands of the remaining Legionnaire(s). If a player is promoted in such a manner, they immediately exit the game with a victory. This action is only permitted if it does not end the game, the games must go on!
The Gladiators win if all Roman Legionnaires are eliminated
The Roman Legionnaires win if all of the Gladiators have been eliminated, or if nothing can prevent this outcome
