I'm introducing a new variant of mafia. It's called Pranay Mafia. The entire game, start to finish, happens in only one day, with no night phases.
Here's how it works:
Instead of lynching, each town sided player has one chance to guess who all of the mafia are. If they are off by even one person, they die. If they are right, town wins. As usual, once the mafia overtakes the town, they win.
In addition, many players will get power roles. I will list all possible power roles below. All powers will happen during the day. It is possible to have more than one power role.
Slight variants of this format are also accepted. The town will know at the start of the game how many mafia there are in the game.
Game starts in 24 hours from the time I post this thread. Signup if you want to play.
Update: There will be a time limiting factor that slowly tilts the game in the mafia's favor if the town fails to act for a long period of time. I will announce what this is once it is triggered. Hopefully we won't need it.
I am not whining, I am complaining! Do you want to hear whining? (in higher-pitched voice) This is whining! Ooh, this harness is too tight! It's going to chafe! Can't you loosen it? Ooh, it hurts and it's so rusty! Why didn't you clean it first? It's going to leave a stain. The wagon's getting heavy! Why do I have to pull it?!?
Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.
Leave me alone! I vant to be alone! I want to wallow in...whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in! Do ponies wallow in pity? Oh, listen to me! I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in! I'm so PATHETIC!

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.
Ah, Spike, what am I gonna do? All five of my best friends have really good reasons to go to the Gala. Applejack, or Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie, or Fluttershy? Rarity? Oh, who should go with me?

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
Come, come, the cause: if arguing make us sweat, The proof of it will turn to redder drops. Look; I draw a sword against conspirators; When think you that the sword goes up again? Never, till Caesar's three and thirty wounds Be well avenged; or till another Caesar Have added slaughter to the sword of traitors.
yeah maybe you're right that it would be quite bad actually. when i was imagining it i wasn't accounting for how a mafia's presence would still be counting towards the overwhelming of the town even if they were revealed as scum. but maybe the strategy doesn't need to be thrown out completely because we have pr that will be able to kill off mafia as they are revealed.

What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!
