Greetings, Mafia fans, it is I, your lovable and hilarious host,
The snow is falling, the eggnog is flowing, and the smell of frying latkes is in the air...at least at my house.
As an unofficial part of Bulbagarden's 8th Annual Christmas Events, the War Room Staff has decided to deck the halls and host a festive winter holiday themed mafia game.
So gather round the Christmas tree and pull out your dreydels because it's gonna be one heck of a dizzy ride!
For those who have no idea of Mafia, the mechanics are simple. Everyone will be split into two teams, the uninformed majority known as Holiday Heroes, and the informed minority known as Seasonal Scoundrels There is also the possibility of independent players in the game.
The game has two phases, day and night. On the night phase, the Mafia can kill one player, eliminating them from the game. On the day phase, the innocents that the mafias chose to kill will be announced, and the innocents try to think who is a mafia. Of course that would be too easy, so the mafia can join in and try to sway their judgements. In this phase, everyone votes as to who will be lynched for that day, and after that, their alignment (whether they are town or mafia) would be revealed and the night phase starts again.
The roles are randomly assigned to each cast member, and some of them have special abilities, called Night Actions. They are basically powers that can help or hinder your team. They may able to inspect your alignment, kill one player, save one player, etc etc.
Dear Maniacal Engineer,
You were Mason partners with Elieson and, after laying down a series of breadcrumbs to link yourself and Elie, you successfully baited the N1 kill. Your death confirmed Elie as town, which directly resulted in a relatively painless victory for the town, through efforts coordinated by Elieson.
In spite of your ridiculously early death, you view Christmas Mafia as your first "successful" mafia game, because your death actually accomplished something, as opposed to all of the times where you died pointlessly.
The biggest irony here? You're Jewish.
You are the War Room staff's resident goofball, and you're always making stupid puns. As such, you are the Flavor Text Writer. It is your job write the OP, the role text, and the update text. You win if everybody enjoys reading the flavor text.

And so, deer friends, it begins:
'Twas the night before Christmas, and the mods were very busy.
All throughout the War Room, things were in a tizzy.
Enzap was running around keeping an eye on the section,
While the other section staff were also paying close attention.
Except for Maniacal Engineer, who was off making puns.
Sometimes, perhaps, it is possible to have way too much fun.
Zexy triple checked the game setup, and Caps prepared the roles.
But the lazy engineer was naughty and destined to end up with coals.
'Twas the night before Christmas, but things were going all right.
We wish you all a Happy Holidays, and to all, a goodnight.
