Spoiler : Rolecards :

Publishing Cop
Once per game you may investigate a player to reveal whether or not they are in the mafia.
Because you’re publicly funded, your results are revealed at the start of the day.

Doctor
Twice per game you may heal a player, preventing them from dying for the night.
A charge will be used if you do not successfully heal your target.
You cannot self target.

Citizen
You have no night action.

Mafia Publisher
Once per game you may reveal a fake investigation result a la Publishing Cop at the start of the day. You share a permanent chat with your other mafia members.

1-Use Consort
Once per game you may roleblock a player.
If they use an action at night with a limited number of charges, the charge is still used.
You share a permanent chat with your other mafia members.

Spoiler : OoO :

1. Consort
2. Investigation
3. Night Kill/Heal

1. Town has to rely on publisher outcomes to make progress during later days
2. Mafia can create confusion with well placed fake publishes
3. 3v8 gives town 2 mislynches assuming mafia can land a NK each night
4. KPN v HPN is balanced- game can swing around but stalling is generally not in town favor.

Rules
All standard S-FM Rules apply
This setup runs best with anonymous accounts, although not having them is also fine.
Pictures are allowed within reasonable size. Hopefully I don't need to specify what "reasonable size" is.
Videos are allowed as long as autoplay is off.

Mechanics
48 hour days.
24 hour nights or early ending nights at host discretion.
Last wills not allowed.
Suicide is allowed at host discretion.
Mafia shares a night chat and a factional kill. The consort may use the kill and roleblock in the same night. Mafia publishers may not.
Lynch system is host's choice. I recommend plurality + majority.
