In live (or videoconference [23]) real-time play, the innocents typically win more often than game theory suggests. Several reasons for this have been advanced: That a single mafioso wins against a single surviving innocent in the day phase is a standard live-play rule, being a sub-case of the rule that a numerical equality is a Mafia victory It's a lofty sentiment, although when you walk into a roomful of people playing, it rarely looks as if something lofty is going on.

What started life as a psychology experiment has once again become a psychology experiment; an exercise in role-play which has more in common with the Stanford prison experiment than Dungeons & Dragons. What Werewolf has to offer is a perfect marriage of statistics and psychology, of mob rule and democracy, reason and emotion. Is it any wonder it's taking over the world? Bi X., Tanaka T.

Some roles can fool investigations to determine their alignments: the Miller is an Innocent who appears guilty (usually because they are an outsider); the Godfather, on the other hand, appears innocent despite being the Mafia leader. [Note 15] The Alpha Wolf or Master Werewolf have the same role as the Godfather in Werewolf settings. Double-agent roles [ edit ]

Werewolf is a favorite at game conventions and has been written about in several mainstream articles.

If the majority of the players who are still in the game agrees, the Night begins. The creator of Mafia is intensely private -- he agreed to meet Wired only within World of Warcraft. He grew up in an austere Russian town but now lives in Boston with his family and dog. (He describes himself as "self-played" rather than "self-employed" but has never made serious money from Mafia.) Davidoff invented the game as a teaching tool in 1987 while a psychology undergraduate in Moscow; it has since spread across the world. Hasbro considered commercialising it when Davidoff arrived in the US, but thought it "unprotectable". Mafia is now used to treat gambling addicts in China and troubled US teens in Christian summer camps. Davidoff is blasé about such evolutions of his brainchild: "I'm against taking it seriously all the time." Until the Rabble Rouser dies there are two eliminations per day. [33] In some games there are players who can change the vote count. Some players have 2 votes (Doublevoter); some players can only cast the final vote to kill a player (Actor); cannot vote to eliminate (Voteless Innocent); [44] must delegate someone else to vote for them (Fool), [45] or require one fewer vote to eliminate (Hated Innocent). The Priest cannot place the final vote (this role is not necessarily the same as the Reanimation-role priest). The lawyer selects someone during the night, and if that person tops the elimination vote the next day, saves them (a different lawyer role releases the wills written by players killed up to that point, when she dies). [45] Public roles [ edit ]

Instead of having to investigate, some innocent roles give complete information on the entire mafia: The witness is told who the mafia are during the first night, while the mafia are not told the witness's identity (differing from the stool pigeon in not being a part of the mafia). The Little Girl in Werewolf and Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is allowed to secretly peek and watch as the werewolves choose their victim; if discovered doing so by the Werewolves, she dies of fright. [Note 8] Protective roles [ edit ] The Psychiatrist can 'cure' the Serial Killer according to the Pub Game rules: "Serial Killer". . When 'the psychiatrist' is in play, the Serial Killer may be The Psychopath, as in: "Name: Psychiatrist (Various Mafia Roles: Third Party at MafiaScum.net)". Archived from the original on 2007-02-27. The information revealed by the mafiosi voting patterns tells against them later in the game. One of the game's fans, Max Ventilla, has said that "If the villagers are allowed to keep a pencil and paper, they always win." [24] a b For example, Bezier Games' Ultimate Werewolf Sorcerer [ permanent dead link] has the ability to detect the Seer role. (The sorcerer is granted different powers in other rule-sets, like Princeton University's, in which the Wizard has the ability to detect the Seer.) Whatever name this role is known by, the Detective-detector is typically aligned with the Mafia (for example, see: "9 Player Werewolf Evil team". 2005. ) For example, the Witch in Werewolves of Miller's Hollow has only one use of her protective potion. She is allowed to see who was killed by the werewolves before applying the protective potion, so this character is more typical of the reanimation than the protective type.
