    How to suggest roles:


    Roles:
    Roles with a * require anonymous accounts
    Roles by type:

    Roles by alignment and name:





    Format:

    Create a new topic in M-FM Parking for your new role, as a place to discuss it's pros and cons. Then, post a link to the topic in this topic.
    Use this template when submitting a new role:
    Code:
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Role Name:[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Alignment:[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Game Size(s):[/COLOR] You should specify which game sizes this role is designed to fit, S-FM/M-FM/FM etc.
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Abilities:[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Win Condition:[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Intended Purpose: [/COLOR]You should specify why this role was created, and what purpose it is designed to fulfil.
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Meta-Game Implications:[/COLOR] Think carefully about how this affects the synergy of a game.
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Possible Cons:[/COLOR] Be honest here. Not a single role in Mafia is perfect, that's the point of the game. Specify what you think the limitations of the role are, what needs to be looked at, and what roles this would not work alongside with.
    [COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Additional Notes:[/COLOR]

    Don't bother including investigation results. This is for forum games, the host of each game will decide investigation groupings.
