Duel Mafia

Setups

Duel Mafia is an Open Setup which utilizes a different voting mechanism than the typical "majority to lynch".

4:8 Nightless Vanilla 3:3:6 Nightless Two-Scum Group

Procedure

Duel Mafia is currently run in Nightless form, but a regular setup is conceptually possible.

Rather than allowing a player to vote freely as in a typical game, challenges must be made in duel mafia. Once a player challenges his opponent, all other players will vote to lynch either the challenger or his opponent. The loser will be lynched, and the cycle continues again. Commonly all players votes, which allows for more research to occur.

Variations

In Speed Duel Mafia, deadlines are placed to encourage quick posting and to prevent the town from completely controlling the duelling process. A deadline to challenge is the day by when a duel must be announced. A second deadline is placed to determine by when all votes must be placed.

The werewolf game featured in the film cry_wolf is a form of Duel Mafia with one wolf versus many sheep.
