In the current meta, this option is generally unpopular with most players given the reliance on Coroners to provide important information to the Town and the lack of Last Wills and role reveals.

The host may choose the roles in this variant. In Clue variant players cannot use Last Wills and roles are not revealed upon death.

Clue - A variant that completely redefines the constructs of the game.

Because of this unpopularity, to the extent Classic is played, it would usually be with an in-house / preselected group who has agreed to these rules in advance.

In the current meta, this option is generally unpopular with most players who prefer to have every / most Town role have a night ability.

Classic - A faithful rendition of the original party game consisting of only Mafioso, Consorts, Citizens, Doctors and Sheriffs.

Some variants simply have preset setups whilst other variants completely change the way the game is played. Variants are a unique aspect that this rendition of Mafia has that makes it better. Follow the instructions on the screen when you're in the setup screen for the command. This can be invaluable, as you can tweak the emergent probabilities for each role, allowing for quite a lot of variety and detail between saves. The system will allow you to emulate games by rolling all of the random possibilities, as per the roles or role categories you have selected. Once the setup has been created, you are free to either invite others to join your game (The -Mafia- channel on is a good place to find players for this) or wait to be repicked by the host of a public Mafia game. Instead, the advisable way to host a game is to, rather than joining through the Join a Game screen and being the host, choose Save Slot from the dropdown-box before clicking Join a Game, this will allow for free time to customize your setup.

If you do so, you will almost certainly receive a good deal of backlash and likely be repicked. Most players find it quite rude for someone to create their setup while a full public lobby is waiting to play the game.
