WELCOME TO SEASON 12 OF THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP - SDN PRACTICE EDITION
Day 1: Final Tally | Genny Was Mafia
General Game Information
Hosted By: @WildZoo @kaydubs @supershorty
Start Date: April 26th, 2025
Start of Day/End of Day: 9PM EDT To allow time for manual action processing and notifications, night action submission deadline will be 8pm EDT.
Phase Lengths: 24/24
Elimination Mechanics: Deadline Elimination (person with most votes is eliminated at the end of the deadline). In case of a tie, one of the tied players will randomly be eliminated. Sleep is a valid vote. Majority elimination will not be enabled during day 1 and is not required at any point for the elimination. Starting on Day 2 and until VOLO, majority will be enabled at 12 hours after SoD. VOLO is an exception to the majority delay, during which majority will be enabled immediately. If day ends close to 24 hours before deadline (ex. 23 hours), night may be shortened.
Night Chat In Thread: No, thread will be locked during Night Phases
Out of Thread Communication: Only the Mafia team may communicate with each other outside of the thread (24/7)
VOLO Rules: Votes are automatically locked in at VOLO. I.e. when the game reaches a point where one more miselimination leads to a loss, you cannot change your vote once you have cast it.
Minimum Posting Requirement: Minimum 10 posts per Game Day
Maximum Posts Allowed: 125 posts per player per Game Day (restriction is lifted 1 hour before EOD though, so if you've reached your max you can post again at that time).
SETUP: Wolf Cube
x9 Vanilla Town
x1 Town Tracker
x1 Town Doctor | Even Cycle | Hidden Modifier on Flip
x1 Town Doctor | Odd Cycle | Hidden Modifier on Flip
x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Track, x2 Roleblocker) | Ninja x1 | Alignment Flip Only
x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Motion Detector, x2 Roleblocker) | Strongman x1 | Alignment Flip Only
x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Vigilante, x1 Role Cop, x1 Watcher) | Cycle 2+ | Alignment Flip Only
Important Notes
- Mafia flips only show the alignment of the Mafia player, whereas Town flips usually show the full role of the Town player. The only exceptions are Town Doctors, who will only flip as Town Doctor and their modifier (Odd Cycle or Even Cycle) will not flip - see the last bullet point.
- Mafia JOAT abilities do not cycle after they are used (they only get the stated ability uses).
- Mafia can target Mafia with all role actions except the factional kill
- Hidden Modifier stops the role's modifier from being revealed upon death and to investigatives - ex. Town Doctors will only flip as Town Doctor, so it will not be publicly revealed whether the role was Odd Cycle or Even Cycle

Frequently Asked Questions
Actions which modify other actions are processed before the actions they modify. When actions would modify each other in a inter-dependent dependency cycle, they are processed in the following order:
- Roleblocks
- Doctors
- Kills
- Investigations
These are the results you will get when you submit certain actions.
- Non-investigative actions that do not gain anything from their actions do not get feedback of any kind.
- Players will not be informed if their action was roleblocked. Actions with reports (Tracker, Motion Detector, Role Cop) will show the target in the report and tell them if it failed, but not why or how, as shown below.
- Investigative actions return results even if the target dies on the same night.
- Actions that count as visits are counted as visits even if the actor dies on the same night.
- Investigative roles (Tracker, Role Cop, Motion Detector) when roleblocked: Your action on Player B failed.
- Trackers when tracking a person that didn't visit anyone: Player C did not visit anyone.

How do I submit my action?
Use your role PM. It is helpful if you bold your final action, however we will generally process the last action you submit before deadline (8pm EDT).
What does it mean if Mafia kills are assigned?
Assigned kills means the member of the mafia team that submitted the last factional night kill target for the Night will be the one assigned to carry out the kill. This game uses Assigned Mafia Kills. Since the kill is being carried out by a specific person, the kill can be blocked or modified by other actions. Assigned kills can seen by other roles including Trackers and Motion Detectors. If the Mafia do not submit a kill in time, then the assigned killer is chosen at random.
Which roles can self-target / target themselves?
No roles in this game are able to self-target.
Will I be told be told if my action was blocked?
No. Players will not be informed if their action was blocked. Actions with reports (investigative roles) will show the target they ended the Night on in the report and tell them if it failed, but not why or how.
What happens if 2+ of the same Blocking roles (e.g. Roleblockers) target each other in a dependency cycle?
In the case of only Roleblockers, they will block actions lower than Roleblock in the order. This means that the players are still trackable to each other that night by Trackers and Motion Detectors. It also means that if one of them is Mafia and happens to simultaneously be the one submitting the factional kill that night in a game with assigned mafia kills, then the kill, and any other actions lower in the order, are blocked. This same principle applies to longer loops. I.e. in a A > B > C > D > A loop, everyone is blocked.
If an X-Shot role is blocked while using one of its shots, do they lose that shot forever?
Yes. A 1-shot Vigilante being blocked while attempting to kill someone will not have their shot refunded.
Can a mafia team choose not to kill anyone during a night?
The Mafia Factional Kill is Mandatory. If the mafia do not submit a target for their kill, then someone will be chosen at random from among the players not on their team, and a random player among the mafia will be chosen to carry out the kill.
Can the mafia submit a factional kill aimed at one of their own members?
No.
If I kill someone, does their night action, if they have one, still succeed?
Yes. Killing someone doesn't prevent them from performing their night action. Refer to the order of operations. All kills happen at the end of the night, and everyone pulls the trigger simultaneously.
Can individual mafia members actions be submitted by their teammates?
No. If the mafia team want to use a role's action, then the player occupying that slot must submit the action themselves, or at least acknowledge the action submission (i.e. actions cannot be submitted for absentee mafia or changed without that player's input).
