    Since this looks empty, I'll fill it up with a question.

    When playing with a godfather and 4 players (none of them are bg), shouldn't the rule be no vote at 5 instead of 4? Its because gf can kill 2 times, right?

    I know, but would the rule be no vote at 5 instead of 4? Since gf can kill 2 times, if u vote at 5, gf automatically wins.

    this is a very unlikely situation lol...but yeah i guess that would be the case if this situation ever occurs. Lets see....no vote = # o' villies + # of kills if all prs are dead?

    lol someone prob has an advanced formula for everything mafia. but yeah, No vote would be # of villies + # of night kills = number of roles. or not, idk, just thinking. but yeah unlikely situation ._.

    tl;dr: Yes you are correct.

    It is a likely situation for me. When I'm godfather, ppl always votes at 5 instead of 4.

    because, mostly, the inspector is randing, and the inspector knows the pr.
    otherwise, its probly sheer luck. that one chance, omg, i can pull a serprand, is appealing to people, and we want that one lagging bad guy to just DIE allready

    My theme has a person avoiding a day kill in it. However, I don't know how a day killing avoiding message would work. How would I add a failed day kill message? Also, is roles1, roles2, etc the order of people you want to appear?

    What does, "reskin" mean?

    nah, oak and lamp don't like it.

    No really, we can't because old Forum Mafia was in forum games and the games went a bit out of hand. Current FM games are to be approved by Oak and Lamp, and i doubt any will get approved (unless they are super awesome, like 10 times better than generation mafia, and you are able to moderate the game effectively)

    correct me if i'm wrong.

    You are wrong. I am pretty sure if Vide and myself hosted a forum mafia, Oak and Lamp would approve.

    A reskin is basically default mafia but with name changes, and at most the mayors vote may have more or less votes.

    Does the poisoner have to be alive for the poisoned person to die? Because I've poisoned someone, died the next night, but the person they I poisoned didn't die. My partner was still alive as well.

    I'm pretty sure the poisoner doesn't have to be alive. And yes, to my knowledge, poison goes through BG.

    You're wrong. Generation Mafia is awesome. mistbitwantsacracker

    Now to my actual point, I probably could find it if I looked harder, but where is the list of mafia admins? I only found the list for mafreviewers...

    Is there any theme that features safeguard?

    On PO you can type /mafiaadmins and Ness in SSBB can Safeguard. Someone else in another theme can, too, but I can't think of them at the top of my head...
    (Zelda in OOT's safeguard is just a renamed protect...)

    Yeah, thanks for the compliment.

    The themes are being restored manually, or so it seems like it as of now.

    hm... how would you make a command only have a chance to work during the night? (if it's possible)

    And since now certain roles can "killattacker", would it possible to have a message for the attacker the way there's a "hookermsg" when PL distract WW?

    I just have a few questions
    I'm planning to make a role with an uber ww tat can kill any distractors and kill their target. is tat possible? (ignore and killhooker)
    Can a spy get hax on all hax? I'm saying that if a good spy got hax on inspect, then could the evil spy get hax on the good spy's hax?

    Don't think that hax can be hax'ed, with current commands.

    But Uber WW would be ridiculous OP'ed. xD

    It means that the theme is the exact same as Default(Same roles etc.), just with Spy hax and/or Mayor votes changed a bit(Maybe not even this).

    Well, in SSBB I was Samus and spammed so Ness found me and Protected + Safeguarded me. Later on, Lucas tried to Inspect me but he said he couldn't because I was safeguarded.

    Question: Is it possible for a revengekiller to kill an attacker if the attacker uses a different command to kill, such as Bowser's /fire?
    And where do I find how to code a revengekiller? I don't think I saw it in the coding guide, and Sonic is no longer one as far as I'm aware...unless I need to edit the WW's kill distractors; if that is so, do I have to add that for every variant of /kill?

    Yes.
    "kill": {
    "mode": "killattacker"
    ^Just put that under "actions".

    (01:57:38) ±Game: You are Ness, PSI extrodinare from Eagleland! Because of your mastery of PSI, you can type /Protect [name] to protect someone! You can also use /safeguard to protect someone against poison, although it also protects against inspect and distract! PSI also allows you have a small chance of finding out who gets killed next!(No action). Your vote counts for .5 though, due to being a minor.

    So Safeguard also protects against distract?
