Most of that would be pretty hard to police, particularly "drive suspicion on them in any way." It sounds like what you want to achieve would be achieved by simply having it so that the person isn't told a random mafia member, but that on their death a random member of the mafia will be exposed.

I had a similar role in Supernatural Mafia. If Jo happened to be night killed, Ellen would disappear for a phase during which she was immune to votes and then come back with the killer's identity.

I also had a role like that in Homestuck mafia. Each night, Karkat could activate his ability, and if he was nightkilled, one of his killers would be revealed. The player never used it though :/

PichuBoy also had a role like that in his Sonic the Hedgehog mafia, where the mafioso's identity would be revealed if the player was nightkilled.

It might be better to make it a passive ability that only activates upon the player's death, rather than having them activate it each night.

I don't think so. I'd feel bad for the player. It's like a curse. If you want to help your faction, you have to die. I don't think 2 best friends would be that close. They wouldn't be able to really use any real strategy at all. It's similar to the bomb. You have to die if you want to use your ability/win. No freedom to use too much strategy. I don't approve, but I could be wrong and it might be good.

???

Unless the player's actions at scum hunting in game were more valuable than their ability upon death =/

Question; Would anyone be interested in playing a "Fruits Basket" mafia? No one has done that before, right?

YES!

I love that series~

Awesome! I was planning on making one. I don't know how good a host I'll be, though. ^^;

I don't know much about Fruits Basket, but I'd probably join.

About this Fruits Basket mafia idea, do you guys think it would be too obvious if I gave each character a post restriction of some sort pertaining to the characters personality?

Nah, I think that'd be fun, actually c:

Double awesome! ^_^ Great, I'll have to get started on that then. Hopefully I don't make it TOO challenging.

Thanks for the opinions!

Sometimes I really hate the RNG and its little tricksies :p

I'm about to sound really silly, but what does "RNG" stand for? XD
