Hi Bunny,
A summary of this unusual setup:
- Everyone starts as just "Town" or "Mafia" with no powers or role name.
- The Mafia start the game with a budget, a credit balance if you will.
- During the first 24 hours, the Mafia can spend some (or indeed all) of their credits to pick which roles will be on their team.
- After the first 24 hours has elapsed (which is in just over an hour from now), those roles are randomly distributed among the Mafia team, and all of the town players are randomly assigned roles from the remainder of the list, i.e. the roles the scum did not pick.
- The Mafia may use their remaining credits later in the game to get extra roleblocks and other stuff, as described in the setup rules.
- The Mafia can even get into debt by over-spending. However, if they reach a point where they would normally win (i.e. they're the majority of players left, etc), they immediately lose if they are still in debt.
- The Mafia can also get new credits, or get out of debt, by choosing to have stuff happen which makes it harder for them to win, i.e. giving town extra powers etc.
