The original XylBot was a script that could host, create and resolve complex games of live Mafia. Although it was great at many things, it fell into disuse a few years ago. I have tried to fix all problems I think caused the abandonment, the major ones being the need to memorize quite a few IRC and Mafia commands, the extensive list of superfluous roles and aliases, the bizarre auto-generated setups, the lack of a setup builder for humans, the counterintuitive way of sending night actions and the poor formatting.
Roles, mechanics and action resolution have been modified to roughly match Mafiascum's current less-crazy Marathon meta. The entire application has been wrapped into a heavily customized web IRC client.
To play, simply click the big link above, sign up and type !start or !in, depending on what XylBot suggests, and wait until the game has filled. Vote by typing "!vote nameofplayer" (you can use tab to autocomplete usernames), or by clicking on a username on the right hand panel while a game is in progress. The bot will automatically inform you of what night actions you can use and how to use them. If you want to know what a role does or if you need a fakeclaim, type "/help nameofrole" in #mafia. Real documentation is coming soon.

Hit the sign up button instead of using the enter key. The form's default action is to sign in.
To keep it accessible. When playing a generated setup, you're playing as much against the bot as against the other players.
