GT Epic Mafia
Did you know murdering your friends is really fun? Mafia is the strategic party game where you kill each other or die trying.
The game is simple enough in essence. The game splits the players into two teams; the uninformed majority and the informed minority. The majority, the Town, do not know the alignments of any other player and must eliminate all of the mafia hidden among them. Meanwhile, the minority, the Mafia, all know each other and win when they outnumber the town (or it is impossible for the town to prevent this). Sometimes, there are also third party roles present with their own independent win conditions.
The gameplay itself is divided into two phases. During the Night Phase, the Mafia select a Town player to kill. Additionally, players with Night Actions will be able to undertake actions that may help (or hinder) their team. During the Day Phase, everyone discusses and votes together to decide who to kill. This is the critical phase for the Town since the Mafia will try to mislead them into killing their own.
Each player on the winning side of a game will earn 20 points for their GT Village.

Roles
There is a wide selection of roles available, but, to keep things simple, we will only be playing games that use the roles outlined below. Not every game will feature all of these roles, but I'll try to incorporate a good mix through the event.Spoiler: Town Roles
Villager
The Villager is the most numerous role in the game. They have no Night Action, but they're participation during the Day Phase is still very important.
Doctor
At Night, the Doctor can visit one player and protect them from death.
Cop
As their Night Action, a Cop can visit another player and learn their alignment.
Insane Cop
A bogus role. They appear to themselves as a regular Cop, but their investigations are not reliable.
Drunk
As their Night Action, they can select another player at night as their drinking buddy, preventing them from using any Night Actions of their own.
Gunsmith
At Night, they can give another player a Gun. Guns can be used during the day to kill another player.
Blacksmith
At Night, they can provide another player with a Vest. Just once, a vest will protect you from a gun shot or the Mafia's Night Kill.
Agent
Can send anonymous secret messages during the day.
Loudmouth
Publicly Announces anyone who visits them at night.
