Makes sense now. Thanks Prof!  

The only thing I don't get is these extra roles and themes now.

I personally used this to become familiar with mafia. http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

I've never seen that site prof linked. The animations really is how beginners visualize the game after their first round haha.

Try not to get confused by how many roels are on that flash. Not that many are always used, but we've seen almost all of them in different games.

Theme is just a little flavor to make the game more interesting, such as, when the moderator tells us who died at night he can be like "Pikachu was pushed into a volcano and fainted" instead of "player 4 was shot and died". Or when someone is lynched he can be like, "Mew was repeatedly smacked with pokeballs into unconsciousness, but it turns out he was brainwashed by team Rocket" instead of "you have lynched player 5, he was mafia"

I'm such a helpful guy.

C'mon hat. I expected some analysis here. These guys are points whores, casuals. Giving them a wiki is like asking them to play Catherine and enjoy it.

Oh... okay! =D

And lynched just means found out or killed right?

"Prof showed hatmoza his Hard Candy!"
"hatmoza evolved!"

Haha, that was pretty great. It was even better where your first hint of being mafia still didn't convince noctis (or whoever it was), you were like "well maybe I'm tired of being mafia again" and they responded with "still, I'd rather be safe than sorry", or something hilarious like that.

Lynch means to hang by the neck. Lynching is what everyone does in the day to try to weed out the mafia.

The mafia kill at night, the town votes to lynch during the day (obviously the mafia are trying to sway the lynch in their favor as well).

This game, no matter how much we try to explain, is best learned through trial. Just play, enjoy, learn. You'll have most of the game down before this round is over.
