| Each game of Mafia is unique, and not only as a result of the players involved; [[Power Roles]] often are handed out randomly, each role having unique abilities that can effect a game's state in varying ways. Moderators of games have long experimented with these roles, trying to create unique experiences without disadvantaging any [[Factions|Faction]]. Combinations of these roles are called "Setups".

| Mafia being as diverse as it has lead to many different approaches to the game. For instance, when aligned with the [[Town]] and attempting to hunt [[Scum]] certain players may analyse people's tone, where as others will resort to analysis of other's logic seeking possible contradictions. Even as scum play differs, some tend to lie low and others will actively be trying to manipulate all to do their bidding. The articles portal contains a variety of different views on the game written by users of our forum.

The Content Portal:
Over the years the MafiaWiki has built up a sizeable collection of content related to either the Game of Mafia or the MafiaScum Forum's community. To keep things organised and easy to locate we have split this content up into various sections, each of these sections having its own designated portal containing further sub-portals branching out into categories. On this page you will find the most important portals (also known as the "Featured portals"), each featured portal will provide you with the means to find the information you seek.

At present, there exist 9 portals. Of these, 3 are featured portals.

Setups:
Setups Portal
Each game of Mafia is unique, and not only as a result of the players involved; Power Roles often are handed out randomly, each role having unique abilities that can effect a game's state in varying ways. Moderators of games have long experimented with these roles, trying to create unique experiences without disadvantaging any Faction. Combinations of these roles are called "Setups". In this portal you'll be able to find many of these, allowing you to borrow them for your own games or be inspired for the creation of more. Watch out however! Not all setups may be balanced or enjoyable.
Roles:
Roles Portal
Most games of Mafia include randomly assigned abilities called Power Roles. You can get protective roles (possibility to block the scum factional-kill), communication-enhancing roles (the Neighbouriser is a role which lets you create a private thread to communicate in with a player of choice), and many more. By adding roles to mafia it gains an additional aspect of play, and depending on the roles present the results can be influential to a game's outcome. You'll find a large collection of roles here sorted by type, feel free to utilise them in your own games, or go ahead and create your own!
