Townhunter:  Instead of seeking to find scum, identifies townies and eliminates them from suspicion.

That sounds like me.

[notquitethere]

Fun bug while making this mafia vidcon game: I set up the most rudimentary AI to test basic functioning: every turn they have a 1/3 chance of voting someone who isn't themselves. It was taking ages for a hammer to arise naturally in testing and after about forty turns the AI have 3 votes on me with 4  to hammer, so I decide to just vote myself. Due to some dodgy coding this lynches someone completely different who happens to be the only scum in the game! If only it were that easy in forum mafia...

[flabort]

Hah! Amusing bugs.
Is the problem in the lynch code or the hammer code?

[notquitethere]

Uh, I think it was calling for the person whose actions were last checked to be lynched rather than the person who has the most votes. Should be an easy fix.

When I get something half way playable I'm going to call on you guys for some beta testing.

Whatcha programming in?

It's text based and going to run in a browser so I get to program it in the only language I know... Inform 7.

Erm... I feel like I'm missing something here... I'm a computer science guy and I don't know what that means...

Oh holy shit.  I just started reading about it and it's COBOL.   D:

Coding aside, I would love a Mafia Simulator.

Spoiler: Current Suggested Playstyles (click to show/hide)

Hyper-Tunneler: they pick one target at the beginning of the game and try to get them killed before moving on to the next target.
Flailing Newb: Will only place OMGUS votes, will use role powers at random.
Detective: Will try to logically deduce role powers
Flawed Detective: Will try to logically deduce role powers but makes frequent errors
Sheep: Will more or less arbitrarily choose someone to trust at the beginning and then follow their judgements throughout the game
Aggressor: Attempts to find scum by aggressively attacking someone to gauge their reactions. Uses powers to for the greatest personal gain, and to take out its suspects.
Attacker Attacker: Goes after people who go on the offensive with weak cases. Will often use powers to check out the "considered town" players.
Daredevil: Does something that looks scummy to provoke scum into attacking him.
Lurker: Will rarely post unless a certain number of votes has been given to them. Will use role powers, but will not have the most up to date information.
Inactive: Does nothing.
Scum attacker: Will try to get players mislynched.
Scum detective: Tries to guess power roles and then kill them.
Scum lurker: Picks people at random to kill and barely says anything.
Bandwagoner: Will vote for players receiving several other votes.
Survivalist: Plays in a style similar to as many fellow players as possible, to blend in.  Uses powers primarily to defend self.
Day 1 Hater: Will do as little as possible Day 1.  A second playstyle will apply Days 2 and on.
Newbie, Still Learning Scumtells: Will play according to another playstyle, but search only for scumtells from the BM list.  Given reasons for attacks will consist of the target having done scumtells (with the names of the scumtells given), which makes them scum.
Puzzle Solver: Will focus on trying to get as much role and power information as possible from the other players, and determining the scum from that.  Uses powers primarily to gain more information.
Non-Questioner: Will answer questions, but quite rarely ask them.
Jester: Whether or not actually a jester, meets a large number of the scum tells.
Empiricist: Exclusively uses voting patterns to find scum.
Lurker-Lyncher: Focuses primarily on lynching lurkers.
Defender: Defends himself only, but does so in great detail.
Defender of Others: Defends anyone in detail, but does not attack.
Townhunter:  Instead of seeking to find scum, identifies townies and eliminates them from suspicion.
Org: Plays like Org.

I'm fairly sure I fall under Hyper-Tunneler.

Oh holy shit.  I just started reading about it and it's COBOL.   D:

Well, I wouldn't say that exactly. It's very well suited to making text adventures, and you end up with code that, if well written, is made up of grammatically well formed English sentences.

Cheese, thanks for collating the list, that's actually quite helpful.

Now I'm trying to think on how to code this thing in z/OS assembler.  -_-

Just punching yourself in the face repeatedly would be equally painful and less time consuming.

Again, I like programming in assembler.  Alas, I need to go back to playing with datasets on tape drives and catalog management for now.
