Am I thinking this wrong?
Regular roleblock would stop all actions a player performs, including factional.
Unless I’m misunderstanding you?

I had a suspicion the only reason you died because you have healing ability in the room with a mafia.
But like, the two mafia’s dying give me false sense of security
References, puns, random flavor stuff.
-
Witch of Deception
Arico Macht = Achromatic (anagram)
Maria Arico Macht is a reference to Achromatic endgaming in Umineko 3 with Maria (Witch of Domination) role.
Necronomicon is also the wolf mechanic from Umineko 3, and it was basically unchanged in this game. -
Haunted Roleblocker
Hannah Teyde = Haunted
Cattails themselves are a running gag of sorts (Umineko 1 had Cattail, Ciconia had Liattac, Umineko 3 had Cattail Mk.III).
And obviously the idea of Good/Evil kings is taken from Throne of Lies / Forum of Lies. -
Mad Surgeon
Mael Voland = Malevolent (Voland is also the name of the devil from The Master and Margaret, but I discovered it’s spelled Woland in English, but whatever). -
Animancer
Saul Anit-Klemmer = Soul Anticlaimer
Animancy is a reference to Pillars of Eternity, where it’s a study of souls. -
Spellcaster
Malcom Zanj - just two names of wizard heroes from Heroes of Might and Magic IV.
Arethia = Erathia (continent from HoMM III). Solmyr - from HoMM III too.
And the spellbook graphic as well from HoMM III.
It should be noted that the inscriptions in the spellbook made “in obscure arcane language” are actually legible text in a special font. In theory mafia could decipher those to get yet more hints about spells (I remember some of them are kinda joke-y though). -
Demonologist
Eva Katien = Evocation -
Spirit Medium
Harumi N. Ukira - N. Ukira is anagram for Kurain, Harumi is the Japanese name for Pearl from Ace Attorney.

The entire magic vs technology gimmick is also an Arcanum reference (as well as the portrait). -
Hero Impersonator
Pal de Vul = Pull the Wool
Dechio Senua = The Chosen One -
Cult Leader
Xorac Tharmis = Corax Mithras (anagrams), from Throne of Lies
Ritual of Initiation, Body Swap are from Ritual Mafia setup, that I cohosted a couple of times. -
Hydra Treestump Geneforger
Danet Goettsch - I think those were random names from Geneforge 1.
The entire role is a reference to Geneforge series (not that well known games, but I love especially the first one). -
The Knot of Gentanel
Gentanel - entangle
The gimmick of the neighborhood is obviously inspired by Quantum Mafia.
Odin Alizer, Dva-Bob Urak, Triya Caroline = One, Alice; Two, Bob; Three, Carol (numbers if spoken in Russian, and names used for thoughts experiments related to quantum mechanics sometimes). -
Zealous Seer
Heinrich Remarque = Remark = Kramer backwards - reference to Heinrich Kramer, author of Malleus Maleficarum. -
Clairvoyant Tracker
Feris Aito = Foresight -
Werewolf
Hector Alpny = Lycanthropy (anagram)
This easter egg is bizarre and the effort wasn’t worth it, but:
Lich Tears = Seth Clair (anagram)
Brittle Dawn = Wind Battler (anagram)
Reference to wolves that endgamed in Umineko 2 and their flavors. -
Scholar of the Unbroken Circle
Kondak Krug - Kondak = Dak’kon; Krug is Russian for ‘circle’.
The role is mostly Planescape: Torment reference (Dak’kon is a character from there and has an Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon).
Additionally it’s osie’s 18th Circle of Hell reference.
The origin of “WARP MAZE League” is stupid and shall remain a mystery forever. -
Priestess of Truth
Ruth Sieker = Truth Seeker
Illusions to illusions - Umineko reference -
Death Game Afficionado
Will Kejigras = Jigsaw Killer (anagram)
I Want to Play a Game - The Saw reference
Life is Simply Unfair, Don’t You Think? - Zero Escape reference
Monokuma is duh.
The Man Who Masterminds the Game - Ace Attorney reference -
Wandering Warrior
Sho Rykune = Shoryuken
The role and abilities are entirely reference to Ryu from Street Fighter.
Ki having 6 charges and the Burnout state are references to Street Fighter 6 mechanics specifically (been playing a lot of it). -
Washed-up Paladin
Lawrence Goodheart - Lawful Good
Waste Land of Reality - reference to Disco Elysium.
Some of abilities are references to paladin abilities from ToL/FoL iirc. -

Co = Conduit
Ru = Rue

Wa = Wazza -
Sweet-Tongued Pirate

Compliment Sword Fighting is a reference to Insult Sword Fighting from The Secret of Monkey Island. -
Herald of Transcendence
Stan Barsod = Bastard Son (anagram) -

Fairy Tale Writer
Stella Terrel = Storyteller -
Snowe’s fake flip
I took name Morgana from the name of the witch in The House in Fata Morgana. -
Rue’s fake flip
Pelasin Kursis = Placing curses.
Extra:
Flavor backstories of Cult Leader, Washed-up Paladin and Firefighter JOAT are all connected (refer to the same incident). That Cult Leader really is the person responsible for killing the family of Firefighter’s fiancee, and is the guy searched by the paladin.
Well, he was before the witch killed him and cut out his face. (btw I imagine lore-wise the False Face thing involves literally putting on faces of the victims and casting a special spell to make you look like them).
The name of the setup was derived from An Odyssey to the Castle of Vampires, and The Turnabout in the Lighthouse of Lunacy. Cool mystery stories. The latter is my second favourite Ace Attorney fancase.
