The Deceiver Eyes

Name: Ramona
Nickname: Kitten
Rating: Master
Playing Mafia Since: 2005/6
Character: Deceiving

Special skills: Use her eyes and smile when necessary. Has a gift of effecting other players specially male players by her enormous power of femininity.
Weakness: Very much dependant on her ears. Every single noise can mislead her when playing as a citizen.

It's way easier for women to play mafia in my opinion. They are neat, they can be trusted, they can deceive with a warm smile and trustful look and yet, they are devils in the mask of sweet mother of Jesus, Virgin Mary.
Ramona is a wonderful mafia. She has all the tools to remain unknown. She hardly shows her nervousness unless you touch her, then the cold hand will betray her, otherwise her voice hardly trembles and she calculates the steps accordingly during the game. Sometimes she Miss's the target, but she never freaks out. She rarely becomes emotional before the end of the game and that's the key for her success. Just like a real woman who can easily hide her thoughts whatsoever they might be, she listens to everyone, she doesn't exaggerate and she tries not to gain attention. Even when a citizen, she avoids inappropriate manner. All she do is waiting for her turn to express her thoughts, she manages a few short statements, she plant her invisible strike and she slowly crawl back into her safe silenchood, while her planting starts to effect the minds of others till night comes.
The good thing about playing with Ramona is that she never insist who to kill. She's ready to share her ideas in a matter of seconds, but in those nervous moments of choosing the prays she never fights for her own ideal sacrifice. As a devoted team member she accepts your choice as teammate and helps you during the game. Playing as a mafia with Ramona is fun. She is a good sport for anyone whose ready to share the killing.

The master of puppets

Name: Sedrak

Nickname: Seto
Rating: Master

History: started playing mafia earlier than 2004

Best character: Sheriff
special skills: He has the ability to convince everyone using

his supreme acting skills.

Weakness: When his nerves are ruined he gets mad and turn the game into an insulting battlefield.

Among the very many different talents that Seto has got.He is a brilliant actor. And he uses this unique ability in addition to his very complicated techniques that most of them are gained from the days that he used to play mafia in Armenia when studying in Theater institute of Yerevan.

Seto is a very aggressive player.During the games he speaks very emotionally and sometimes happen to insult the rest.He always argues over different facts and never resists to vote without having all his questions answered.He knows all the rules of engagement and hardly makes mistakes during a game.He knows well how to recognize the differences of the games and have an innovation for every game depending on who is the narrator and who are the players.

He is a meetings regular,so for him sitting around a table and making accusations toward the rest of the members is routine.He knows well how to arrange a team and become a head of the group without raising the others against himself.

During the game he often engages in eye contacts with the rest of the players and has a tendency to interrupt others by ridiculing them while they speak.

He hardly respects the other players unless they are really good.And when they, are he just admires them to get close to them and gain their vote.

When he decides to take someone out he uses every possible way to gain his goal.He says different things about his victim.He mentions all his negative points and unless he becomes sure you are gonna vote with him he pursues on his facts.

Usually his techniques work when there are a few stupid player in the game,but even when the game is full of pros,he again makes it with an emotional speech and convince even the hardest targets.

As a mafia his best trick is to find the most important red,the head of the others or if lucky he goes for the Sheriff.He concentrate all his energy to convince the head and when achieved he controls the game using the guy.Once in a very challenging game Seto,Serj and I reached the final three.I as a citizen was so pessimist toward his attitudes that I just vote him out with Serj. I had some doubts but I really hated to become a puppet so I vote against him and then I realized he was red and we'd lost the game to Serj.

Seto is a fantastic Sheriff. He is looking for the truth as much as Icarus that he is ready to fly with candle wings just to know the fact.He knows who to check at nights and rarely misses the blacks at first two or three night.

Every game becomes a matter of life and death to him and he engages at the arguments and clashes so passionately as if the winner gets the key to western Armenia.

In the list of best 10 mafia players Seto is for sure a chosen one.

The smoking Don

Name: Narbeh

Nickname: Doesn't have any

Rating: Master

History: Learned around 2004

Character:Politician

mafia special skills: He thinks so deep about a situation,he plays each move after a complete analyse and tries to avoid emotional motives.

Weakness: Take away his cigarette and he will be useless

Narbeh is a very rare talent of mafia.In fact he is very good at every kind of game,specially those that are mind ex panders.He is a very good theoretician.He is very alert during a game and though very deactivate he listens to each comment very carefully.he has a special ability to look at the opponent without any specific reaction on his face,even if the guy says the most unbelievable lie,he doesn't react.He waits until they finish and suddenly out of nowhere he brings up the fact that completely changes the path of the whole statements made earlier on that round.

He is one of the most logical players I have ever encounter in this game.He never talks much.When his turn,he exactly knows what he wants to say.and quietly pass his turn when got nothing to deliver.

Most of the time he is smoking his cigarette in silence and does not plan to make a fantasy step.Even when as a mafia he is forced to pose as a sheriff he again chooses the most calm way to do it.When he starts to speak,you should really concentrate on him.He doesn't say things twice and he doesn't pursue you to change your mind.

Even at worst situations,when you think the truth is revealed and you are going to vote him out of the game,he then comes up with a short impressive speech that completely changes the whole story.

He is a potential mafia by default.You may never believe it, but it happens very often when he becomes mafia in two or three rounds in a row.And each time he is so calm and quite that you think,it can't be him and act so mute when looking at his card.

In the world of mafia players,Narbeh is a gifted player.As a citizen he always thinks for the team,he never tries to show off his abilities and he never stop assisting his team mates.As a mafia,his goal is to win over red citizens,so if necessary he is ready to go out if that is gonna save his team mate.

Playing with Narbeh is always a privilege.And killing him when one is a mafia is a mandatory.He is one of those players that being on each side will result the opposite side to encounter a hell of a problems to win that game.

For his logical way of examining a game,he is for sure in top ten mafia players I have played with.

The self confidence

Name: Arthur

Nickname: 2002

Rating: Master
History: started playing mafia at 2004 and became a pro from the first game

Best character: mafia
special skills: He is very self confident.He does not shake when playing the hardest chapter of the game,he talks calm and short.

Weakness: he rarely plays mafia,he needs to be sure of a serious game.

When Arthur started playing mafia,no one could he say he will get in the picture within next ten or twelve rounds,but he was there in it's first and he played fantastic.

He has a very special gift, his hands and voice doesn't shake.And that for mafia player is all to win. The experienced poker master knows well how to bluff. He can be a Don and look at the sheriff in the eye and convince him that he is a sheriff.

His best and only trick is his self confident.he doesn't like to plan a complicated game.he doesn't like a suicide, he just kills at nights and vote at days. He is not a fan of Agata Christie so he just kills by the decisions made and doesn't make mistakes.He never argues,he doesn't care how bad he is insulted and responds in silence.But when it comes to voting he respond to the insult so calm and so effective.He rarely changes his mind after voting,but when a citizen,he listens to each word of the defendant so serious and if convinced,he changes his vote.

He has a tendency not to ask others to merit a change.He explains the mistake they have made but never asks and begs for changes.

Playing with Arthur is a privilege,not because of his skills but because of the respect he pays to the game by playing serious. After all he is a pro poker winner and he knows he need to respect the table.

In one of the most memorable games,that I as a narrator had the privilege to witness, he choose his victims at the beginning and killed each and every one of them without hesitation,everything was going on alright for him until the sheriff recognized him and announced it.Arthur the last to talk on that round didn't deny the accusation, he looked at sheriff in the eye and said that he did not kill anyone.He didn't disguise as Sheriff nor deny anything. His tone without trembling comparing the panic of the real sheriff and his solid voice and sentences made the only remaining citizen to vote against the poor sheriff and Arthur won the game,thanks to his firm statement.

Based upon his character, Arthur is a wonderful mafia player that as a citizen can't really use his abilities,but when black he knows exactly how to kill and deny.He is for sure one of the ten best.

Cold killer eyes

character:Politician mafia
special skills: analyse every single minute of the game in his mind.Knows exactly when to make a turn, knows how to vote in tight situations.
Weakness: When irritated, he rather eliminate the one he dislikes instead of finding the real mafia.





Karo is a very talented businessman, as a mafia player he uses the same techniques and the same ideas as he uses in his office.He has a gift of remembering everything spoken during a game,and sometimes on the last round of a game he remind the others of a mistake someone has let on the first round` 45 minutes earlier. He is a complete pessimist. You need to show him your card or he will examine you hard not to vote on you. He accidentally happened to be more a citizen during games we played,but whenever black, he displays a real cold blood killer character,for which he seems to be maid. I hardly ever notice a tremble in his voice whenever he disguise as a sherif. He lies just as easy as he drinks his tea. And he looks straight in your eyes, He doesn't think when he lies,the outcome is not important,all he do is to deceive you in a way that you don't even regret believing him until the game is over.
He trust no one except the narrator,and sometimes he asks narrator even, if he is sure of what he just said!! He is a analyser,he is the one guy you should be afraid of when trying to make a statement as a sheriff. If you say things that doesn't make sense,he won't doubt voting you out.
He controls his gesture very well. After viewing the card, he leans to his table,take a short breath and stares to the person in front of him.He takes the game seriously and doesn't make fun of situations that for many might bring a long lough.
He is the master of bluff , and you never know if he bluffing or not. He often likes to complicate the game, he likes to win the hard games. He is a fond of humiliating others, and on his turn he always accuse the rest for acting stupid or irresponsible. Usually this method works and people start showing activities which reveals their true nature.
Looking through those cold eyes , he shows no mercy upon his victims.He kills and votes very logical.He never choose a victim by chance. And estimates tens of options be for eliminating an opponent.
He has proven himself both as a mafia master and a worthy sheriff for many times,and during the games has always exhibited some worthy performances.He is for sure one of the players in the top ten.

special skills: Knows how to impress the citizens,she knows how to neutralize to worse statements against her knows how to convince you even when you are sure one hundred percent that she's the mafia.
Weakness: She loose control and neglects the game as soon as she notice a stupid statement by a newcomer.
Sometimes she feels so above the rest that she simply
underestimate the opponent and loose the game.



Mineh is a rare talent of Mafia. It looks as though she knows every single trick of the game and she doesn't rush in to do all the tricks in one round. When accused, she mark her fingers on her head and smiles devilish.
She has a very logic ways of discussing the facts.She never fantasize a game,she stick to what is obvious and let the others do the talking then she take advantage of their mistakes.
She has a very teasing habit though.When it's someone else's turn to talk,she pretend to look at the guy very seriously and suddenly she starts nodding her head like "Well talk as long as you want,I'm gonna vote you out anyways...".She is a master of rare games, she has the ability to change the whole ending to her own favor.And for doing so she just mention some mind blowing mistakes of the others and even the narrator that stuns everyone.
Mineh is a very creative narrator too.She knows when to interrupt and when to let someone talk additionally.
she uses her power as a game master to turn the game into a interesting one and with her funny notes and gestures she makes an interesting game.
As a sheriff she sometimes delay her presence and mafia if smart takes advantage of that.She usually knows who to check and often succeeds in checking the right one soon.
Her best talent is to agitate and annoy the opponent specially if she knows him well.She makes statements that are untrue and sometimes insulting and on many occasions personal, in order to make the guy loose control and get mad.At these moments she starts to smile irritatingly and mark her fingers as devil.
Mineh is for sure in the list of ten top mafia players in my circle.

A killer with a sence of humor

Name: Vaheh

Nickname: Bobokh

Rating: Master

History: started playing mafia at 2004 and became a pro in a short period

Best character: mafia

special skills: He is very cold blood,he kills and lies and you never believe he might be a killer.

also he manages to put some humor while talking that distracts you from real facts and helps him look more Innocent.

Weakness: he gets weird sometimes and turns to ruin the whole game. also has a tendency to play snake on nokia mobiles during some games.

Vaheh Bobokh was a fast learner, he learned the game in a matter of two or three rounds.

He use to take a game either seriously or doesn't take part in it at all. He become a fanatic fan of mafia and he played it over and over.He was one of those rare players who never put a single invitation of mafia down. He plays each game with an unaccustomed strategy. He is an innovative

player with a witty touch of humor that makes playing with him more enjoyable.

He uses techniques that are completely ingenious. He analyse each move of the players and is good to blame the narrator for little mistakes. His partnership with his long time buddy Galo as two

mafias makes one of the most frighting couples of blacks.It looks as if they read each others mind and know when to change the whole plan.

Vaheh has played a lot of memorable games and has became a legend among those who share a table with him.One of the most brilliant games of him was the one held at our home back in Tehran Argentina sq. a couple of years ago.It was a late night game and about four in the morning we started the new round. He needed to be on due at six since he was a soldier then. He appeared so tired that wouldn't participate at all,he would vote random,and pretended to be sleep most of the time.We were not doubting at him at all.He seemed to be co-operating with us not ruining the game.When he killed the last citizen with his head still fixed sleep on the table he did not move,he did not celebrate, he just cold bloodly raised his hand with a ace of spades in it and remained still.

Vaheh is a remarkable narrator too.He is a harsh one though,and happened to reveal the personality of players by turning their cards after only one notice.

During the games I had to chance to participate I always enjoyed playing with him. He never take a game for granted.And has always confronts his opponents seriously.

As a citizen he lacks the mutual trust thing and it takes a lot of energy and time to convince him of being a citizen too. It happened quite regular that the citizens lost a game due to his stubbornness in recognizing a vivid citizen.

All in all if I had a chance to handpick ten players to perform a professional mafia game. Vaheh would undoubtedly be among them.
