The Host is the first person who joins the lobby (unless repicked), and their job depends on the game mode. In Custom Mode or Rapid Mode, the Host picks the role list for the game. The Start button will not activate until 7 players have joined, including the Host. In all other modes, the Host has no real ability from the other players. There are no hosts in Ranked lobbies.

Who is host in the lobby list of players will be marked with a crown next to their Lobby Icon. The lobby must fill to the maximum amount of players (15) to start. In Classic Custom, Coven Custom, or Rapid Mode, the host may start the game with 7-14 players (game starts automatically at 15).


Custom Mode/Rapid Mode[]

Unity Custom List

In Custom Mode and Rapid Mode, the Host has the task of picking which roles will be used in the game. They may pick any 15 of the 35 roles (47 with the Coven Expansion. The only exception is Juggernaut), or they may select any alignment other than Mafia Killing (as well as Coven Evil in the Coven Expansion. To add Coven Evil, use Random Coven) to add to the game.

  • At least 7 players are required to start in Custom Mode or Rapid Mode.
  • Because the roles are decided by the host of the game instead of by the game itself, some strange role setups may come into play. For example, one could create a game which consists mostly of Neutrals, or a game with no killing roles on the Town side.
  • You cannot start the game without opposing sides. The Host will get a message telling them so if they start the game with, say, only Townies.
  • The host may also enable Anonymous Voting. As the name suggests, this hides which player voted a certain person.

Repicking[]

  • Sometimes there are a number of people dissatisfied with the roles the Host has picked. In that case, the command "/repick" may be used. If enough people choose to use the command the Host will be randomly repicked and, to the hopes of the mob, do as the majority wishes.
    • It should be noted that groups of friends do have the ability to abuse the /repick feature so that one of their friends will get the Host and play the game they wish.
    • After joining a lobby, you must wait 10 seconds before voting to repick the host.
    • The Host can repick themselves.
