it's "random" because it is random, to a point. The GM will use a randomizer to give everyone roles, however if there isn't a balance of roles (like, too many BO, no protectors, etc) the GM may randomly reassign some of those people to different roles to make the game more balanced.

Also, remember that you may have more than 2 and a half hours to wait till you find out who you are, only people active in the prep phase get to know who they are at that point, everyone else waits another day.
So, are there townspeople with no abilities?
Like.. no character role.. just a normal person?

I think I'm pretty active xD

during the first round, and in real-life games of mafia, yeah there were/are townspeople with no abilities.

However, in this version of mafia, every role has an ability.

Yeah, I don't like how the original has only regular people.
But people with too many abilities, would make the game stupid..


But I like how this DC version has different rules/abilities.

We try to balance it :) And some roles are "better" than others. And some roles are good in combination with other roles too.
But even if every role has a ability, it's not like you'll have every role in the game (since you have more roles than players)

On that note, everybody remember that you may want to hide your user status right about now. New people, you can go to your profile, choose "Account-related Settings," and uncheck the box that says "Show other users your online status." If you do this, nobody will be able to see when you're PMing people.

Roles have been decided. :) Death and/or glory await you all.

But knowing combination is still difficult.
Because you won't know anyone else role. And you can't just ask. Risking talking to the opposite team.
So you need an investigator.



Btw, if I "investigate" someone to find their role..
I can PM that person and tell them I'm an investigator and I know they are doctor/cop etc.. right?

Oh.. okay, I'll turn off my status.
When do we learn our roles?! I'm super excited :D

@Tommy: you can tell anyone anything you want over PM, but there's no guarantee they'll believe you. The only thing you're not allowed to do is forward/send people screenshots of PMs from me (like your role PM). Look at the rules if you're not sure if something's allowed, or ask me.
@Kain: You PM me with the actions you want your character to take each phase, and if that action is information gathering, I'll reply with the appropriate info. You're not allowed to ask me for any info other than what your role can gather.

I see. This makes the difficulty of the game increase.
Because trust is an issue.
Even if people lynched me in the morning.. and I said I was cop/investigator.
They might not believe me.. ):
