I also think the Vigilante might be to powerful.

Yep I'm in again too.

Also The Oracle sounds like a great role, let's keep that.

I have another suggestion: keep the number of villagers and Mafia in the dark, eg. just say there are 9-10 villagers and 4-5 mafia instead of saying exactly 9 villagers and 5 mafia. This adds a bit more mystery.

Hooker is another class which seems pretty useful without being too overpowered, and everybody seems to like the Oracle which is nice. If you do have a night time option, do you PM somepartsareme with the action?

I'll sign up this time

Yes.

By "flips mafia", I mean appears to be a mafia member. And the vigilante isn't too powerful, in that he has a good chance of hitting a villager, and is rendered useless if a hooker finds out his identity.

Also, you haven't lost if you're dead, just if someone else wins.

I like the Cupid role.

Also another one:

The Zombie:
Starts off as normal Villager or Mafia.
Gain their special night action only after they have been Killed.
Each Night, the Zombie may Kill one person.
The next Night, that person becomes a Zombie.
The Zombie wins when all remaining players are Zombies.

A little silly, but I think balanced.
What do you guys think?

IMO you should add ''Can be attacked by Village and Mafia" and "Villagers and Mafia have 50% chance to fight back and kill the zombie."

I like the idea of Cupid, but I think the game should just start with one "lover" that can choose anyone to fall in love with at night.

Personally I'm not too eager on the zombie idea, but I won't object if it's added. I'm really looking forward to play now though.

Also, if you were the oracle, how would you tell your predictions? If you posted in the thread you'd be killed, so would you need to try and figure out who's a safe character (say, the cop) and tell them?

I'd assume they'd just PM Someparts, myself.

I still think he's too powerful because he can play super passive to minimise risk, and can simply kill everyone but himself off. Villagers need other villagers to lynch mafia. Of course he increases his risk of getting killed by the mafia by accidentally killing villagers though.
However, the end result is that the vigilante has a much higher chance to win than a normal villager. This shouldn't be the point of special roles.
