In which game?

M#: Murder Mansion
A fresh take on the Mafia genre (for this forum).

Story:
So a bunch of dudes are invited to a costume part at this awesome mansion place thing. Cool stuff, I know, but it gets DARK. All the dudes show up, and a man in a Guy Fawkes mask and formal clothes makes a speech about the party and stuff. We assume that this is the host of the party, but we don't know for sure. As soon as he finishes his speech, the party begins. The suddenly, without warning, the lights go out for a few seconds, and when the lights come back on, somebody is dead! The doors to the outside are also mysteriously locked, and everyone is freaked out. They all decide to figure out this mystery before they all die. They know that it MUST be one of them who could have done this, but who?

Gameplay:
Capacity: 10 Players
Cardflip
Regular Lynching
Town's Syndrome

This game uses and hour system, rather than a day/night cycle. People can vote who to lynch for each hour, and abilities can be used each hour.

This game plays differently than other Mafia games in that there is only one team, and everyone is against and toward each other. One of them is selected at random to be the murderer, not matter what role. The person chosen to be the murderer keeps the abilities of his role and gains the ability to kill someone every even-numbered hour. If he kills everyone else, he wins. If he died, the Party Dudes win.

Party Dudes (roles):

Spoiler: show

Host: The man who invited everyone to the party who everyone assumes the guy in the Guy Fawkes mask is. Lacks a color. Inspecting the Host will cause the Cop to receive the color of someone else at random.
Butler: The guy everyone suspects is the murderer first, because that's not stereotypical at ALL! Lacks a color. Inspecting the butler will cause the Cop to receive the color of someone else at random.
Superhero: A man dressed like a superhero. His lynch vote counts as two votes, because he is THAT important.
Cop: A man who is dressed as a cop, but is actually a real undercover cop. He can inspect people and learn their color.
Mime: A man dressed as a mime. Because he is silent, his lynch vote doesn't count, but his silence allows him to sneak around and learn if someone used their ability.
Wolf: Someone dressed in an anthropomorphic wolf costume. He can switch colors with dead players by hiding their bodies in his/her costume, but only for an hour at a time. Even if he ISN'T the murderer, that's pretty sadistic.
Old Timey Chap: Someone dressed with a top hat and monocle. He can splash tea in a person's face and prevent them from using their role ability, including murder, if they were selected to be the murderer. British accent is optional.
Doctor: A man dressed as a doctor...and somehow IS a doctor too. He can heal someone during the hour if he thinks they will die. Can do this to people about to be lynched too. He can also do this to himself, but only once.
Scruffy-Looking Guy: A man who looks like Liam Neeson during an action movie (scars + soot marks). He can write a will that will be revealed publicly if he dies. The will can be a request to lynch someone, a request to flat-out kill someone, or a request to have someone inspected. The first person to meet the request stated in the will will have immunity during the next hour.
Psychopath: A guy who is dressed like a crazy serial killer. He thought it was a brilliant idea to bring an actual gun to the party. Yea, he's not too bright. But it's a good thing though, because he can use it to kill someone every odd hour.

The only other things worth mentioning are:
Inactivity = Phantoms
Ability usage is optional, but you must send a PM...blah blah blah, you get it.
What should I tweak?

PaperPlayerX- do you even know what towns syndrome is seriously it's not a mafia term

PaperPlayerX- do you even know what towns syndrome is seriously it's not a mafia term

It was a term I used inspired by Nien (Yes, I got inspired by Nien. Kill me.) Having the normal Mafia set-up, where the Mafia knows who the other Mafia are, but the town doesn't know who toehr townies are...etc. etc, didn't have a short name/term for it, so I gave it one; Towns Syndrome. Hey, if Nien can make fun of Downs Syndrome without any conflict, so can I.

No. Change it.
And there's a difference between Towns and Downs syndrome.
The term for this type of game is "roles do not know other roles"

How? Their abilities are only to:
1. Kill one person each night.
2. Silence one person for one phase (and they can only really guess)
3. Block one person each night (and it may or may not be a utility role)
4. Force-change one lynch vote.

Add 2 more vanillagers and it's good to go.

Dude. "Towns Syndrome" is a pun of "Downs Syndrome" made by Nien. That is Nien making fun of Downs Syndrome (in a way). That was the whole point. What are you not understanding here? If you're trying to imply that it's wrong of me to call it that, then you completely forgot that Nien did it before. Why didn't you say something when I brought it up in the previous game I created? Why did no one complain about it when Nien used it in HIS game? But I suppose you're right, I'll change it...eventually.

But enough of that, how about I agree with you? I do agree with you that there needs to be 2 extra villagers in Little Boo's game. Besides it making the game fair, it also calms our OCD (or CDO, for those that don't actually HAVE OCD)! He has 18 people in his game. 20 is a nice, round number. A NICE ROUND NUMBER TO BAKE MORE COOKIES

I don't care if Nien did it. Town's Syndrome shouldn't be used as a game term. It has literally nothing to do with the actual meaning. New players will be like "WTF is this."

At least in the other one you explained it. And Nien didn't randomly take some term and use it as a rule-defining gametype, he just used it for the role PMs and the game itself, but it didn't have any actual meaning there.

I like how instead of adding 2 more normal villagers you added 1 regular villager and 1 informed villager.

Derputy: Takes on the role and color of the Shmellriff should the Shmellriff die.
Tokedor: Can get someone high each night and prevent them from dying. If he gets a Troll high, the Trolls will be able to kill someone that night, no matter what. Does not stack with their regular killing every 3rd night.

The Trolls
Serial Troll: Leader of the Trolls. His goal, along with the other Trolls, is to ruin the game for everyone else by killing them.
Vegan Troll: A seemingly useful blue for the Vegans, but is actually a Troll.
Malfiua Troll: A seemingly useful red for the Malfiua, but is actually a Troll. Knows who the other Malfiua members are.
Winning Conditions: All Vegans and all Malfiua must be dead.
Special Notes: Due to their OPness, The Trolls will only be able to kill someone every 3rd night. Also, they will NOT be able to kill any Malfiua member until at least half of the players are dead.

Other notes:
Phantoms, blah blah blah. You know this stuff already.
