Variants of Mafia RulesProxy
Here is a new character which was invented by Mowgli Infante (of NYC)'s cousin from Princeton: The "Proxy" is on the side of the Mafia. The "Proxy" opens his/her eyes in the first night to learn who the Mafia is and vice versa, but he/she dose not help choose the victim. His/her work is done during the day, when he/she tries to convince the "Townspeople" to "execute" him/her. The "Proxy" could thereby buy the Mafia another round at a critical point. We decided that, if investigated by the "Cop," (the Angel) the "Proxy" earns a nod from the Moderator just like the Mafia. We further determined that the "Cop" may chose to investigate this person again in a later night to determine if he/she was "Mafia" (earning a second nod) or "Proxy" (receiving a shake the second time). This character made for some interesting reverse psychology options. We concluded it would be more successful in a larger game.
