I've played IRL mafia a few times. The format was 1 mafia, 1 doctor, 1 sheriff, and then like 5 citizens lol. So only 1 evil against 6-7 townies.
We had a subset of 7-8 playing cards to determine roles, and we used those same cards for each game. There was 1 Joker (mafia), 1 Queen (doctor), etc. The citizen cards were just your generic [i][b]#-of-suit[/b][/i] -- but, again, we used the same subset every game.
So at the beginning of one of our games, someone gets questioned. And she responds with, [i]"I can't be mafia. I have the 6-of-Hearts."[/i] :> We had to re-distribute roles, lol. Because we all knew the 6-of-Hearts was in circulation, and there was nothing stopping the rest of the citizens from just reading their unique keys, which would end the game almost immediately.
I dunno, this question made me think of that. And yeah, I remember that rule existing way back in like 2011 when I didn't even have an account and would just watch my friend play.

I believe the win condition reads something like, [i]"survive and see the town lose the game."[/i]
The Witch loses as soon as she dies. She has no teammates. This is the case for most neutral evils; helping the town lose is no longer a requirement after death. She could leave the name of every single evil in her last-will, and it still wouldn't be considered game-throwing.
I played a game as Auditor the other day. I converted someone to Mafioso, and he screamed [i]"I was audited!"[/i] to the heavens almost immediately. This prevented me from whispering him, because it would expose both of us as evil to anyone paying attention. So I put [i]"#3 is mafioso"[/i] in my last-will: if he lost me the game, then I would in-turn lose him the game. That is not gamethrowing. And even if I didn't have a justifiable reason, it [i]still[/i] wouldn't be gamethrowing. (we teamed up the next day anyway, though, and I deleted my last-will, lol).
Neutral evils have no allegiance to the mafia or triad. In their win-condition, the operative word is [i]"survive."[/i] If they want to use their last-will to help town win, they are not breaking the rules or throwing the game: they've already lost.

I believe someone named renegade just blatantly threw a game I played in.
How do I report? I am new to the forums.
