I'm thinking of hosting a game where everyone (Mafia and town alike) is either a backup or a power role, and if a power role with remaining shots dies, a random backup player with the same alignment inherits the remaining shots. And if there are no blank backups left, it's possible for a player to inherit a 2nd power.
I suppose the Mafia might be uncovered when it becomes apparent that they never inherit town's powers, so I need to think about this part

Maybe you can just give the mafia backup townie roles.

It might be suspicious if a tracker Mafioso is lynched and then someone announces inheriting the tracker role in the future

Hmm... I think in this case, you have to plan if you want the roles to be totally open (open setup) or not. Then work from there. Maybe if it's open setup, it might work as long as there's not mass claiming at the start. I've seen an open game where there's backup roles. And then maybe both mafia and townie can have mafia/townie roles. It will work better with a semi closed setups but you just have to inform players that the role does not necessarily determine the alignment.
Maybe it could be something like.
Mafia Role Cop (only detects active roles)
Mafia Role Cop Backup
Townie Role Cop [so it's like they just know who has a role]
Townie Role cop backup 1
Townie Role cop backup 2
Townie Role cop backup 3
Townie Role cop backup 4
Mafia Doctor
Mafia Doctor backup
Town Doctor
Town Doctor backup 1
Town Doctor backup 2
Town Doctor backup 3
Town Doctor backup 4
But 4 mafia is like a lot so 2 possible roles is enough for a game. Unless maybe, for example there's 3-4 possible roles, and then 3 mafia. And you let the mafia choose what roles they want in pregame and one of them will be the backup of either of their mates depending on who died first.
@the_greenplumbob what is the theme/setup of your upcoming mafia game?
I haven't come up with a theme yet, as for the set up, I'm gonna try and make one myself
Sounds good. Could I co host it if you want?
Yeah sure! I forgot we agreed to co-host a game
Yayyy!! For a Theme, could we do a Powerpuff Girls themed mafia, a Dexter Lab's themed mafia, a 90210 themed mafia, or a Sailor Moon themed mafia game? You can pick out the theme Plumbob.
Sailor Moooon! If you ever host a Sailor Moon themed game I'll play xD

If you want it to be open.
Just throwing out some ideas there. XD
Maybe I just don't reveal powers when doing the flip and only reveal alignment?
