Here are the corresponding Role PMs to be assigned to each rolename
:
Townie - Member of the Town.
You win when the Mafia has been successfully removed from the game, and at least one member of the Town remains alive. You win whether you are dead or alive at game's end. You have no Night actions.
Cop - Member of the Town.
You win when the Mafia has been successfully removed from the game, and at least one member of the Town remains alive. You win whether you are dead or alive at game's end. You have a Night action - send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to investigate. If you are not roleblocked, the moderator will then return a PM stating whether or not the indicated person is "Town" or "Mafia."
Doctor - Member of the Town.
You win when the Mafia has been successfully removed from the game, and at least one member of the Town remains alive. You win whether you are dead or alive at game's end. You have a Night action - send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to try and protect from being killed by the Mafia. You may not protect yourself. If you are not roleblocked, a kill on the player will be prevented.
Mafia Goon - Member of the Mafia.
You win when the Town has been successfully removed from the game, or nothing can prevent the same. You win whether dead or alive at game's end. You have a partner: _____. During pre-game and each Night, the two of you may communicate with each other to discuss Night kill and/or roleblock choices, Day strategies, and so on. Then, one person of the Mafia will send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to kill. Barring the protection of the Doctor, that player will die before the beginning of the next Day.
Mafia Roleblocker - Member of the Mafia.
You win when the Town has been successfully removed from the game, or nothing can prevent the same. You win whether dead of alive at game's end. You have a partner: _____. During pre-game and each Night, the two of you may communicate with each other to discuss Night kill and/or roleblock choices, Day strategies, and so on. Then, one person of the Mafia will send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to kill. As the roleblocker, as long as you are alive, you may also send the moderator a PM indicating a player you would like to roleblock. Roleblocking a player's actions at Night prevents them from receiving results. If you are the only member of the Mafia, you may roleblock AND kill.
