General information and rules
How to do the contest
In Mafia Nights, players are divided into two categories: the majority citizen and the mafia minority. Roles that no one knows about from the beginning except the owner and manager, although the Mafia group knows each other on the first night. The goal of the citizens is to take over the city and cleanse it of the mafia, and the victory of the mafia depends on equality with the number of citizens. The game is played in 2 parts, consecutive nights and days. Every day, everyone plays the role of a citizen and in the process of accusing, defending and voting, they try to discover the Mafia and drive it out of the city with a majority of votes. So, the real role of everyone should not be seen these days, and the players are just trying to accuse the real mafia and defend themselves. During the day, the role of treasure is in the player's pocket. Knowing it by another player or understanding another role at night by cheating or any other application makes the role of the player aimless and causes the player to be fired by the manager. In day-to-day conversations, the role is not important to anyone, and only the citizenship or mafia group in the players' words and behaviors is important. Every day after the voting, the players who received the most votes are defended by voting in the first round, and by voting in the second round, which takes place in a nap and with their eyes closed, one person leaves the game. In the second round of voting, everyone has a choice. In the night, they wake up at the behest of the Mafia leader and secretly consult for a moment about which citizen to target. After that, the operator wakes up some citizens to carry out their night plans. At the end of the voting, the expelled player is randomly selected from 6 cards to determine a situation for himself or the game, and if he is to leave the game completely, he has the right to say the last word for 20 seconds without directly referring to any role. The player who leaves the game to vote can only return to the game by selecting the beautiful mind card.
Mafia Group
Godfather or Mafia boss: The godfather or the boss of the Mafia plays the most powerful role among the Mafia's roles, and at night, one of the citizens is directly targeted by him. His inquiry is always negative for the detective.
Dr. Lecter: Dr. Lecter is the second member of the Mafia group and is able to save one of the members of the Mafia from shooting at night by Professional. He can only save himself once.
Joker: Three times during the night, he chooses a member of the Mafia (including Dr. Lecter, the Simple Mafia and himself) or the citizens to reverse that person's inquiry to the detective that night. He can only choose himself once. This role of the finalists was added to the game.
Simple Mafia: Simple Mafia is a member of the Mafia, but it has no unique capabilities.
City Group
Detective: Every night, one of the people in the game inquires from the manager. The inquiry of Dr. Lecter, the Joker and the simple mafia is positive and the inquiry of the citizens and the head of the mafia is negative. The detective's query will also be reversed for the person the Joker has already selected.
Doctor: The doctor wakes up every night and has to guess who the Mafia shot at and choose him to save. If chosen correctly, that person will stay in the game. He can save his life only once.
Professional: A professional wakes up every night with the announcement of the narrator and can target one of the people in the game who he thinks is the Mafia. If the citizen is targeted by him, he himself is out of the game.
Die-hard: Die-hard did not go out at night with the first bullet of the Mafia and during the day he leaves the game only with the vote of the city. Die-hard twice a night can interrogate people who have left the game.
Psychiatrist: The psychiatrist wakes up every night with the announcement of the narrator, and if he wishes, he can silence one of the people playing twice. The selected person will not be able to speak in the game during the next day.
Mayor: After the initial defense by the defendants of the game, and if he himself is not in the defense, the mayor is able to cancel the voting (no one goes out) or the direct exit vote to one person once during the whole game.
Simple citizen (two people): The simple citizen is considered a member of the city group and has no unique characteristics or abilities.
Cards
Green Path: The withdrawn player can give this card to another player, protecting him from voting and defense the next day.
Red carpet: The withdrawn player gives the card to another player and sends him directly to the defense the next day.
Beautiful mind: The player leaving the game guesses the role of another player and if he guesses correctly, he returns to the game.
Insomnia: If this card is selected by the player leaving the game, there is no night section at the end of the day and the game goes directly to the next day.
Dizziness or Thirteen Lies: The player leaving the game must tell a game-related lie, and the operator must confirm that it is a lie.
Final shot: The player leaving the game, instead of the Mafia, will shoot the leading night of his choice, and the Mafia will not have the right to shoot that night.
