You used the Powerful Special color and not the Cultist color, but besides that, still to hectic with a Third Party and a Cultists and six specials.

RNG is a terrible mafia mechanic since mafia is more of a strategy game. Just look at your effects. A TP literally one kill away from the win could get screwed by it's identity being given away even if they played way better than everyone else and deserved the win. And like mech said a 4 team game is a bit too much. The arsonist team is screwed if one of them dies since they won't be able to douse/burn anymore. No one here is a huge fan of cults either as I don't ever see them in games so you could get rid of three players right there. For the mafia, a painter with unlimited uses is way too overpowered. There should only be one pro town scum color instead of two. You have a revive role with the firefighter, and those are currently banned so you'll have to get rid of that too, plus without the cult you won't need the persuasive either. Your jailor looks like it's also a silencer which is not a good pro town role. Seems fine other than that but I think I just destroyed the point of the game

This game seems fine to me as there are two townspeople who can have more votes and godfather can imitate them and looks like its a simple game but does some experimentation with vote counts, which is one that I'd be up to play.

leaves the town at night. Can't speak during night phase since it leaves the town. All actions at night targeted to it will fail.
Saboteur can choose a vase to destroy at night for three times but having a red color due to its actions in the past. The condition in the destroyed vase will be already discarded.
Eavesdropper may know the condition of the chosen word 6 times or the exact chosen word 2 times but his knowledge about the chosen word makes him suspicious.

Third Party:
Logophile can choose a word at least 6 letters long with a specific condition every night. The first person to say the word will be killed after the night phase. The chosen word will take effect in the next day and night phase. The specific condition can be acquired by smashing a vase. In-game terminologies are banned. If killed, the chosen word will stay cursed until at the end of the game.
Potter is required to smash a vase every night to see what is the specific condition. If killed, the condition of the word will not change anymore. If the logophile is killed before the potter, the potter will die as well.

Vases:
  • The word must be an adjective.
  • The word must be a verb.
  • The word must be a noun.
  • The word must be a 15-letter word.
  • The word must be a compound word.

It isn't exactly clear why smashing a base with the saboteur would be useful as one of the third party's win condition is to smash all the vases. Furthermore what exactly does discarding a condition mean. Does it just encompass the definition, they can't use a word of that type anymore? Commuting Nurse is kind of really easy to figure out since they cannot speak at night. Furthermore, it is not clear what leaving town exactly does. Does it just mean that no actions will take affect on the player who has the role each night. If so, this role becomes absolutely broken and can stagnate the game if they become confirmed since mafia cannot kill/roleblock the nurse. If not, why not just roleblock and use strongman on the nurse the instant you see the person. It's not fun to play as when it essentially slates the person who receives the role for death. The strongman is way too overpowered in this game. Essentially usually roles like this you want to save up but since the role has so many of them, there's no reason not to choose a 2nd kill target night 1 or night 1 and night 2. The amount of times this role can perform his action needs to be decreased.

Saboteur can choose a vase to destroy at night but having a red color due to its actions in the past. The condition in the destroyed vase will be already discarded.
Eavesdropper may know the condition of the chosen word 6 times or the exact chosen word 2 times but his knowledge about the chosen word makes him suspicious.

Third Party:
Logophile can choose a word at least 6 letters long with a specific condition every night. The first person to say the word will be killed after the night phase. The chosen word will take effect in the next day and night phase. The specific condition can be acquired by smashing a vase. In-game terminologies are banned. If killed, the chosen word will stay cursed until at the end of the game.
Potter is required to smash a vase every night to see what is the specific condition. If killed, the condition of the word will not change anymore. If the logophile is killed before the potter, the potter will die as well.

Vases:
  • The word must be an adjective.
  • The word must be a verb.
  • The word must be a noun.
  • The word must be a 15-letter word.
  • The word must be a compound word.
  • The word must start with a consonant.
  • The word must start with a vowel.
  • The word must have a prefix.
  • The word must have a suffix.
  • The word must be a pronoun.
  • The word must be 10-letter word.
  • The word could be anything at least 6 letters.


Win conditions:
Mafia must outnumber or equal the town and have the logophile killed.
Town must eliminate all mafia members and have the logophile killed.
Third Party steals the win if the logophile survived at the end of the game or if all the vases are already smashed.
It isn't exactly clear why smashing a base with the saboteur would be useful as one of the third party's win condition is to smash all the vases. Furthermore what exactly does discarding a condition mean. Does it just encompass the definition, they can't use a word of that type anymore? Commuting Nurse is kind of really easy to figure out since they cannot speak at night. Furthermore, it is not clear what leaving town exactly does. Does it just mean that no actions will take affect on the player who has the role each night. If so, this role becomes absolutely broken and can stagnate the game if they become confirmed since mafia cannot kill/roleblock the nurse. If not, why not just roleblock and use strongman on the nurse the instant you see the person. It's not fun to play as when it essentially slates the person who receives the role for death. The strongman is way too overpowered in this game. Essentially usually roles like this you want to save up but since the role has so many of them, there's no reason not to choose a 2nd kill target night 1 or night 1 and night 2. The amount of times this role can perform his action needs to be decreased.
I might either give the saboteur three times to destroy vases or change the win condition of the Third Party.

Discarding a condition means the logophile can't choose a word with that definition.

That's why I added another commuter although I might change the color of the commuting nurse into green and make the spy only learn the color of their target. All actions done to the commuters will fail.

I'll change the strongman's kill action into 2.

Mech won't like this.
Why
Mech does not liek RNG
Only thing that should be RNG based in a Mafia game is a Knife in the Box. Any other RNG does not really bode to well.

M??: Slicky Slimes

18 Players
Cardflip/Roleflip
New “Merging” Mechanic
Role Usage is Optional
Every Can Visit

Merging Mechanic
the way that this mechanic works is that if two people(or slimes in this cause) visit one another on the same night, then for one day and night phase, each thing that they do will tie together, meaning that if one were killed in this time period, both die, if one has an ability used on them, both would, however, inspection, lookout watching, and votes aren't shared.

So there was, like one time a slime village, it was peaceful most of time, but then one day, serveal other slimes decided that they want to take the village for themselves, the like, umm, village has to like, find them one by one before they all become nothing but slimy substance on the ground. Oh yeah, and sludge monster or something decides that it should all be ended.

The Bad Slimes
When deciding who to kill, they’ll need to decide who’ll visit that player to do it.
The Big Bad Slime: immune to nightkills. if someone merges with them, the other's identity will be blacked out if they get lynched in this time period, however, whoever their merged with will be nightkill immune until this period ends.
Prickly Slime: They can’t be merged with as they are prickly all over and anyone that visits them will have their vote nullfied next day phase.
Magic Slime: If two slimes are merged they can target them to separate them or merge them with a different slime, or they choose to force two slimes to merge together.
Gray n’ Sneaky Slime: They can each night choose to either inspect a slime to learn their color or watch a slime to learn who visited them.

The Slime Village
Investigative Slime: They can inspect a player each night to learn their color, they’ll also learn the color of anyone who visits them.
Chilling Slime: They can harden a slime's form each night to prevent them from being merged that night.
Protective Slime: Can protect someone from nightkills each night but will always merge with them excluding the Prickly Slime, Firey Slime, and Sludge Monster.
Psychic Slime: They are able to twice in the game make cardflips for the next day and night phase roleflips instead. They also can also check a player each night to see if their merged and if so with who.
Firey Slime: they can either kill a player or go on alert each night, only being able to do the latter twice. can't merge with other slimes.
Slippery Slime: This slime has a more slippery slick body than an average slime, making them immune to nightkills. Thinks their a regular slime.
Regular Slime: Your average green slime blob creature
Regular Slime
Regular Slime
Regular Slime
Regular Slime
Red Slime
Purple Slime

Independent
Sludge Monster: immune to nightkills and can't merge with slimes. Can kill a player each night, and upon killing them will gain their ability and are able to gain up to 3 abilities. They can use one of the abilities they obtain each night along with their regular nightkill. However can only use one in a night.
Sludge Monster Abilites: show
Prickly Slime = Nullifies all visitors' votes
Magic Slime = Can merge, unmerge, or change the merging of two slimes each night.
Gray Sneaky Slime = Watch a player each night to learn who visited them.
Investigative Slime = Inspect a player each night to learn their color
Chilling Slime = Prevent a player from being merged each night
Protective Slime = Paint a player black next day phase and upon inspection that night.
Psychic Slime = Learn if someone is merged and if so with who each night.
Firey Slime = An extra kill the next night(one time)

The land of mafia has recently gone through an economic crisis, the currency has crashed and riots are everywhere. The mayor decides the currency will paper slips signed by him, and only this will be valid due to the inflation from before. A local mafia that no one cares about decides with the crisis putting everyone out of a job, it is time for them to finally take over. They think it will be easily thanks to the traitorous treasurer that has caused the crisis. However, the town realizes a communist from the farlands has been making propaganda to convert to communism. The shopkeeper looks a little less friendly as well... Who will take over and who will fall?

I guess that makes sense, but it doesn't say whether those that get converted to communism become aligned with the Communist or not. It only says those affected will have their items go to the Communist.
