I have some questions about mechanics. It has come into play occasionally in my games. The Mafia wiki is not totally clear about some of the questions I will ask below (or I was too dumb to understand it).
Consider the following scenarios:
1. SK targets doctor, doctor heals sheriff, mafioso targets sheriff... does the sheriff die?
[ANSWER] No, the Sheriff will live. The heal does not get cancelled with death.
1a. SK targets bodyguard, bodyguard protects sheriff, mafioso targets sheriff... does the sheriff die?
[ANSWER] No, the Sheriff does not die. The Mafioso dies and the Bodyguard dies. The Serial Killer will kill the Bodyguard some more after that.
2. SK targets mafioso , mafioso targets SK, who will die? (assuming no immunity for SK, of course)
[ANSWER] Both of them will kill the other, leaving both the Serial Killer and Mafioso dead.
3. SK targets mafioso, mafioso targets sheriff, who will die?
[ANSWER] The Mafioso and the Sheriff will be dead.
3a. mafioso targets SK, SK targets sheriff, who will die?
[ANSWER] Again, the Serial Killer and the Sheriff will die.
3b. does the answer to 3 and 3a change if the SK or mafioso was under control of the witch?
[ANSWER] No.
4. Escort1 rb's Escort2, Escort2 rb's mafioso, mafioso targets Escort1, does Escort1 die?
[ANSWER] Yes, Escort1 will die because Escort2 is roleblocked. The game will calculate it out first by applying both roleblocks, leaving Escort2 and the Mafioso roleblocked. It will loop again and fix this logical error by trying the roleblocks again; this time, Escort2 is already roleblocked so their roleblock is cancelled, leaving the Mafioso open. Then, Escort1 will be killed. This will happen 100% of the time.
5. What happens when a bodyguard protects himself due to a witch, and someone tries to kill him?
[ANSWER] The Bodyguard and his attacker will be killed. Think of the Witch as steroids, letting you do stuff that isn't normally possible.
