    I was offered three town roles. I saw little advantage to One-Shot Day Vigilante (the last time that I was a VT, Cena used it to off me, I’m sure). The other role that I was offered and discarded was (Town) Lover (I die when my lover dies and vice-versa, I think) - again, that role has the potential to be damaging to the Town.

    I won’t state my role for the moment. It’s not very exciting, but I’ll hopefully survive a little bit longer this time.

    I know it's randomly selected but you were offered three town roles?

    Possible but I'd imagine pretty rare.

    All three of the roles that I was offered were town-aligned roles. I had that clarified.

    It says on the wiki page that Werewolf is a supernatural alternative to Mafia, but I take it we are merging the two game modes with this game.

    Would I be right in thinking that Werewolves are a distinct faction from both Mafia and Town?

    From what I've gathered there may be multiple factions, not necessarily just two or three, could be even be four, going to be a difficult one to work out, especially for us newer players.

    This question is sort of related, but it relates to another game, so feel free to ignore it:

    In The Sopranos and The Wire crossover game, was the win condition for Mafia elimination of the Town and the Baltimore gang, or just the Town?

    I know.

    I assume that the win condition for each faction is the elimination of all other factions (for Town, elimination of both Mafia and Werewolves; for Mafia, elimination of both Town and Werewolves; for Werewolves, elimination of both Mafia and Town).

    If both of the scum factions - or all of them, depending on the number - only have elimination of the Town as their win condition, this could be a quick game.

    I think the scum factions win if they have 50% of the players left, so say 3 Mafia and 3 Town.

    Town need to wipe out all scum factions.

    I'm sure that's how it works

    I have just had a look at the discard list, and apparently there are Aliens too. :giggle1:

    That rings a bell.

    I think that the percentage might be different if there are multiple factions in the game (because one scum faction cannot communicate with another). Is that right, @Minty?

    Yeah, the percentages may be different depending on the number of factions....and I think that's right about them not being able to communicate with other factions, just their own.:50:

    @CookieMonster

    Why did you discard Innocent Child? Both versions of the role as described on the wiki page seem highly advantageous (particularly the second one).

    :(
    Didn’t know what a parrot was and checked the mafia website where things weren’t any clearer. Just wanted a role I knew.

    There can be a variety of win conditions. Saying nothing else.
