Is there a Standing Order for Mafia/Town?

[Ace3359]

I'm been running a Mafia game for the first time in a long while, and I've had some interesting timing issues develop. On the same night, I had the Vigilante and the Godfather target each other, as well as having the Mafia Deceiver target the Town Drunk as the Drunk tries to target the Godfather.

So I was wondering, is there a standard order in most people's minds for who gets to have their move first?

If it's Mafia, the Godfather and Mafia Deceiver get to act, while the vigilante dies and the Town Drunk gets blocked.

If it's Town, then the Godfather would die and the deceivers won't really matter.

If it's simultaneous.... *raises hands with no clue*

I'm not sure what those roles are in this context (for example, Godfather is a passive role that returns a false innocent result to Cops on MafiaScum) but here is the action resolution scheme most people use in MafiaScum: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... Resolution

basically any action that modifies how other actions work should take place before the actions that are modified.

Also note that kill actions (such as Vigilante) don't interfere with other actions.

Thanks, this is a good read and helps clarify things for me.
