Variants of Mafia RulesWalrus, Eggman and Tooth Fairy
The Walrus, much like the Devil, works for the Mafia but isn't one of them. The Walrus wakes up each night and determines whether the Vigilante gets to kill that night. After the death of the Walrus, the Vigilante may kill any night he chooses. The walrus debuted 10/14/99 and has been a startling success. The Eggman has the same powers as the Walrus, but is on the side of the Werewolves. It is left to the moderator's discretion whether the Vigilante can kill if both Walrus and Eggman refuse. (That is, they could cancel each other.) The Tooth Fairy is yet another variation of the same role, introduced by Benedict Brown on 11/14/02. The Tooth Fairy is on the side of civilians. It could be a useful character since the Vigilante sometimes is a little trigger-happy and ends up killing civilians. In it introductory game, the Tooth Fairy was not a great success, mostly because civilians lynched the Vigilante on the first day, so the role became quickly useless!
