No more Mafia?

[campsite]

So I'm playing town of Salem 2 and I thought I would have a look at the new roles, I saw that there was no more mafia roles. I was wondering will they make an appearance within the second game or are they completely gone as a role from now on?

[Gilmore]

They are gone. :(

mafia is there they just all joined the Coven. many of the old mafia roles became new Coven roles.

The Jinx for example does exactly what the ambusher did.
Voodoo Master silences people like the blackmailer (Can't read whispers though)
Poisoner and Consort did the fusion dance and now Poisoner can both roleblock and poison.

So alot of the Mafia are still there they just merged with the coven.

CL has defence, like gf, and is first necronomicon holder.
Necronomicon makes you show to sheriff as inno, like gf.
Necronomicon gives you power to kill, like mafioso.
Necronomicon is passed when holder dies, like mafioso.

I feel like they did many things right with deleting the Mafia roles. Statistically, Mafia roles were the least popular roles with the highest leaver ratio. Thats why they upgraded lots of the roles
Enchanter=Framer + Forger
Poisoner=Consort + Poisoner(ToS1)
Voodoo Master=Blackmailer
Jinx=Ambusher
Medusa=Janitor
PotionMaster=Consig + Heal
CovenLeader=Mafioso/GF
Hypnotist and Disguisers abilities are completly gone since they were also the most hated roles in ToS1
+ There are also many new interesting and unique Coven roles

i get removing disguiser (bc it's painfully confusing to play, absolutely hated getting it bc i could singlehandedly screw over the entire mafia by forgetting how it works), but i do think it would've been nice to keep hypnotist in somehow - it would've opened up some real interesting claims for coven members.

anyway, yeah i generally agree. letting coven members keep their abilities while still getting "promoted" was a great move, and so was fusing some of the weaker ones together to make a stronger composite.
the book does actually make some roles weaker than they would be otherwise, though, like a wildling can't keep up a tracker claim once they get it. still a less dire situation than ToS1, at least.

The problem here is the Book order which Ill make a new post about
