So I really wanted to host this game, because it sounded fun. Unfortunately it seems to have some problems. So I decided to "fix" it, and this is what happened. Warning for bastard roles and wincons.

That's 15 players which no longer makes it a mini but. Details.
Unaligned Lovers
have no alignment of their own, but share their lover's wincon. As such, they are never paired with each other. One is guaranteed to be paired with a Town Lover
, and one is guaranteed to be paired with a Mafia Lover
. Unaligned Lovers
do not know their lover's alignment. An Unaligned Lover
paired with a Mafia Lover
counts as mafia
towards the mafia's
parity wincon. Lovers' only method of communication is the main game thread.This does change the game from "is my lover mafia? " to "whatever my partner's alignment, we'll get through this together," which does kind of make this an entirely different game, but that's okay.
