I read it as everyone will know all the roles available. When you pick a role if it's one someone else picked you get vanilla, when you pick you don't know if anyone has picked before you or not.

Oh, I gotcha. That makes sense. This is what happens when one only skims the rules *hums innocently*.

That's what I thought as well.

What is great about this set up is that I can;t get a role I don't like. Town Vanilla is probably my favorite role, and whatever I choose I'll make sure I don't absolutely hate it. ;)

Frickin' GoG forum won't let me pick Comic Sans font so these things are bound to get lost in translation.

The list of number picks by players will be published and then players will get to choose from the list of available roles.

So if you choose 1 shot Taint Inspector and wind up with Vanilla, you'll know someone chose that role with a better number than yours.

Is that clearer, or have I made it worse??

Those look suspiciously like more instructions.

I am leery of attempting to read them.

Do I get it right that by this interesting distribution of roles we may end up with some unusual Mafia roles?

That's the plan.

Wine Wine everywhere.....

Yes.

I love wine! I will love this game!

I am soooo the mod.

To further muddy the waters, the list will be published in Pick Order (first to last) for your convenience.

I want some sort of killing role so I can put you in a box, or I should say several boxes. *mumbles damn that box to hell*

I need a bumper sticker which reads: "Box is my Copilot"

Also...........

There will be a Twilight period with a contest and fabulous prizes!!

And to make matters worse.........triggered events. dun dun duuun!!
