Objections
Game rules unclear without a description; a player-count edge case in a screenshot
From 2 comments
I've never heard of this game, maybe a description or link to a wikipedia page[1] in the readme would be good. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)
anonfunction on HNSmall nitpick: That screenshot shows a situation which shouldn't occur in the game. If there's only 1 player left, he's the winner. So I wonder: Is there a winning condition…

Requests
Add IRC or frontend-agnostic support
From 1 comment
As I don't use Slack, I'm totally building an IRC version of this. Actually, I'd prefer frontend-agnostic, so I can hook the logic to IRC/matrix/XMPP/websockets.
