Mafioso- This is a weak mafia role. Usually mafia's only advantage in any game is that their roles are useful and they have group vote power. However, far too often random mafia ends up as mafioso and people are quick to lynch regardless of whether they may be vigi because vigi often kills town. Basically out of all mafia roles, mafioso is the weakest one the mafia can get.
One of the "Mafia" game setups ended up picking 3 mafioso. Needless to say that game was lost before it started.
Another role that needs to be revised is blackmailer. Currently anyone who is blackmailed can just vote spam to show they are blackmailed. In addition if an invest or sheriff is blackmailed they can still indicate guilty people via vote spamming. This completely negates the power of the blackmailer.
Spy - Another totally useless role. 99% of the time mafia assume there is a spy and so either don't talk or don't ever say anything useful for the spy. Now that they can hear PM's they are slightly more useful, but PM's are still largely unused.
Also, it seems that people are largely ignorant of the fact that having GF immune to detect is utterly useless if there are no citizens. So I propose that this be explained on the splash page while the game is loading. So silly people understand the usefulness of having citizens in a game where there is a GF.
That is all :)
