It is important to note that flavor should not clue player's into others roles. "The pretty pink pony" should have just as much of a chance of being [[mafia]] as "The monster under the bed".
In some games, flavor may be relevant to the game. In that case, it should be balanced like any other [[game mechanic]].
 
Flavor is different from, but often goes hand-in-hand with, [[game mechanics]]. In the past, games with modified flavor were permitted in [[New York]] and [[The Road to Rome]], but now they are restricted to [[theme game]]s.
 
For games with heavily modified flavor but few changes to mechanics, see [http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=405 The Old Pond] and [[Texas Justice Mafia]].

Flavor is the "decoration" or theme that goes on a role or game in Mafia. Sometimes it is as simple as giving each role a character name that makes them seem to come from the city where the game is set; other times it can involve using modified role names from a particular source, such as a movie or book.

In some games, flavor may be relevant to the game. In that case, it should be balanced like any other game mechanic.
