You are Adam. You are Ben. You are the mafia. You do not like this town. You want the townies to die. You do not want yourselves to die. You will want a new recruit at some point. You want to win.
The mafia powers available to you are:
Frame a Townsperson (1)
Set a Trap (2)
Slaughter the Weak (2)
Bring out the Big Guns (2)
Poison a Victim (1)
Conscript a Townsperson (1)
Note that you do not have 'Hire a Hitman.' You'll have to do the dirty work yourselves
You should post in the Mafia Den as much as possible. It is safer than talking in person, and it is entertaining for me and the other players to read (the others after the game of course.)
