Description
Mafia roles can be dealt after the organizer chooses the role inventory.
Mafia roles can be dealt after the organizer chooses the role inventory.1
Repeated labels represent separate role cards; the tool preserves their counts while assigning them.
When to use Mafia Role Dealer
Use this tool to apply the stated mafia role dealer operation with an explicit input and unit basis.
How to use Mafia Role Dealer and how it works
- Establish the text or game convention described above.
- Enter seed, actualParticipants, callerActualRoleInventory and run the tool.
- Read result.participants, result.assignedRoles using the output meanings below.
- If input is rejected, correct the stated type, range, ordering or alignment issue and rerun; review successful results under the declared convention.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| seed | Nonblank reproducibility string, at most 256 characters; required even with a supplied random source. | string | required; further conditions in the algorithm |
| actualParticipants | Participants, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | array of string | required; dense; align related rows as specified; at most 128 strings; 128 UTF-16 units each; further conditions in the algorithm |
| callerActualRoleInventory | Role inventory, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | array of string | required; dense; align related rows as specified; at most 128 strings; 128 UTF-16 units each; further conditions in the algorithm |
Require distinct participants and equally many nonblank role labels. Fisher–Yates shuffle the roles and return assignments aligned with the unchanged participant order. A nonblank seed of at most 256 characters selects the existing seeded generator unless execution context supplies random. One source advances through the request; supplied samples must be finite in [0,1). These draws are not cryptographically secure.
The default source hashes the seed’s UTF-16 units into an integer state and advances a deterministic arithmetic generator for each sample. A supplied execution-context random source takes precedence; it must return finite values in [0,1). The required seed still must be nonblank and at most 256 characters. These draws are reproducible entertainment or sampling, without cryptographic unpredictability.2

| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the declared output fields. | object |
| result.participants | Input participant order preserved. | array |
| result.assignedRoles | Shuffled role labels aligned with participants; role-card multiplicities are preserved. | array |

}Limitations and assumptions
The output applies the declared operation to the values you supply. Establish the measurement basis, units, coefficients and any caller-selected rules before interpreting it. The tool does not independently collect or verify observations or decide whether a model or reference applies.
Supply explicit required fields with the documented types and dense aligned arrays. Unknown fields, wrong types and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Branch-specific constraints are explained above. A successful false boolean, negative signed difference, empty slice or unresolved tie is distinct from an input error. Very large inputs or outputs may be rejected by shared resource limits.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related operation, use White Elephant Order Shuffler. A white-elephant gift exchange needs a turn order before its house rules are applied.
For a related operation, use Werewolf Role Dealer. Werewolf roles are dealt from a role inventory whose balance has already been chosen.
