MacGuffin Mafia

You were all on your way to a charming resort town but unfortunately the airline mixed up all your luggage! You’ve each ended up with someone’s luggage, but not your own. Some of you have important items you'll need to find and retrieve. Some of you will profit from helping others get what they need. And some of you are members of the mafia, and won't stop until this charming resort town is a bloodbath.

Player list:
~~1. MiX~~
2. mail-mi
~~3. Galzria~~
4. ~~shraeye~~ skip wooznum
~~5. WestCoastDidds~~
6. Scolapasta
~~7. LaLight~~
~~8. Awaclus~~
~~9. DatSwan~~
~~10. Joth~~
11. Faust
12. Joseph2302
~~13. Sudgy~~
(14.) ADK
(15.) Eevee

MacGuffin mafia is a closed setup for 13 - 15 players. It's on the border between a "fair" game and a bastard game, but I have decided to err on the side of bastard just so people know what they are getting into. It should still be a balanced game in terms of each faction having a roughly equal chance of winning. I think. I'm gonna level with you, my track record isn't amazing on that front. But with any luck I have learned something from my failures.

The closest thing this game has to a vanilla townie is the Generous Townies. Here is their PM:

You are a Generous Townie. You have no special powers. Your weapon is your vote. At night, if you have at least one item, you must give at least one item to another player (unless this is overwritten by the item description.)

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated, or when nothing can prevent that from happening.

Flavor will be ~~pretty standard mafia stuff, sprinkled liberally with pretty standard Glooble/joth variety humor.~~ Passages from a bad detective novel Glooble is writing on the fly.

Standard F.DS mafia rules apply with the following additions/ exceptions:

Days will be 5 days, nights will be 48 hours. Night actions will be due 24 hours before the deadline.

Passing items will occur second-to-last in the night action resolution order, before only nightkills.

If no player has a majority of votes when the night ends, the night will end without a lynch.

Even though this is a bastard game, the mod will not ever outright lie to a player. The mod makes no promises about misleading a player.

Bold, purple text is reserved for the mod.

The game will start whenever it fills up.

New info:

Everyone may pass 1 item to another player at night in addition to any other night actions. Items you obtain during the night through this or any other ability will be given to you at the start of the next day.

There's no such thing as being in too many games, right?

Why must the Mafia only be satisfied with a bloodbath? Why can't they be content hav/in/g all of the lost luggage?

We can hold off starting for a bit if that’s what people want.

I'd say just start it when it's full and people shouldn't /in when they don't have time yet. I never quite understood the purpose of that.

Sweet! Enough people. I need a day or two to get the role PMs ready- let’s aim for a Friday morning start? That work for everyone?

Still room for one more if you join before tomorrow evening!
