I thought of this during M-FM I, when I sent it to Luna, but I've made some changes since then. It's nothing too crazy, just normal rules and a few new roles. I've made up a hopefully fun story / theme for it as well, but I won't spoil that here.
Mafia members will be able to choose which role they are from a selection of random roles I give them.
