Of all of the possible combinations of Mafia Team, which do you think would be a worst case scenario?
Upon reviewing all possible combinations of mafia, as well as town roles, I would wager a team of Consort, Consigliere, and Mafioso would be effective for the mafia and worst for the town. It seems Disguiser and Framer both hinge upon there being the proper town roles available for their actions to be of most use. If a Sheriff is present for example, the chance of a Framer matching a Sheriff's target seems unlikely early on.
Both Consigliere and Consort on the other hand, would seem more useful from the get-go. I would place Blackmailer just a tier under those two in combination. As for Janitor, a cleaned body and will seems great, but almost certainly the mafia will hit town members in their first nights which wouldn't seem to provide much use early on when wills would be practically nonexistent. The Janitor would also be anchored to the mafia member who kills to be of use, leaving only two separate mafia entities in play rather than three distinct ones in the trio I mentioned earlier.
If someone could please explain to me, when a Mafioso shadows another mafia member to carry out their role, does the shadowed mafia member get to do nothing? Even so, the above combination still seems like a strong one from the beginning either way. I may be completely wrong though, and anything I've said may be incorrect as well. Anyone please free to correct me on any misunderstandings I have so far.
