Could you make life interesting. What about giving people multiple roles? Especially if you didn't cross vanilla townie and standard mafia, it could open up interesting strategic game when someone is eliminated by remains in their other role and brings into it "have they been saying x for this or that"
"The sun rises over the village, the Lotus trees are coming into blossom and the farmers tend to the millet fields. A woman comes shrieking out of her home, unusual for the usually reserved japanese culture. He husband, @Player110, the samurai leader of the village, has been murdered."
@Player110 - Hi guys, I hold 2 roles so am still here!
