@PJ, I'm planning to continue using the "cop" name in parentheses. (Though I'm renaming it to Elf on the Shelf for the purpose of this game's Christmas theme.) Rationale is that "cop" is a fairly standard term in mafia discussions that I'm used to. Plus in later games it can help if people are searching for more general information and how it relates to the cop role such as sanity or other variations.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead
here are the normal rules if that makes it easier (like without elf names and all that)
RULES Mafia is a murder mystery game. It has a Night and Day cycle, during the night cycle any role that has an ability can use it, and in the day cycle voting happens and either someone is voted out or it is skipped, as in players voted to skip. Heres are the roles:
Mafia - During the night cycle, you DM the Mayor who you want to kill, the nurse might save that person though. You want to try to put suspicions on others and not get voted out, if you killl everyone until only 1 townsperson and yourself are left, you win. (or until an Equal amount of Mafia and Townspeople are alive, if theres more than 1 mafia)
Doctor/Nurse - During the night cycle you DM the Mayor and tell them who you would like to save this night, if you save the same person the mafia killed, then that person gets to live and is cleared since you know they are not the mafia, as the mafia cant attack themself
Cop - During the night cycle you DM the mayor who you want to Investigate, The Mayor will tell you if that person is a mafia or a townsperson/on the townspeople’s side
Townsperson - try to figure out who is the Mafia and vote them out before its too late
ADDITIONAL ROLES - roles that are not in every game, but used sometimes
Jester - try to act suspicious and get voted out, if your voted out you win the game
Lovers - 2 players are assigned the lovers role, if one of them dies, the other dies as well
Accomplice - a person who is counted as a Townsperson, but secretly is working with the mafia and tries to help them win the game, the mafia and the accomplice know who each other are
I fixed an issue lol

Breaking news! Breaking news! Body found in Santa's Workshop! Big Man in hiding! Are South Pole Elves to blame?
Hey, y'all. So as you may know TheHarperMoon recently ran a Mafia Game. This is a signup thread for another.
I haven't figured out what the setup will be yet so flexible on the number of players. (Willing to go as low as 7, could go up to 12+ like we had in the last one. Not sure yet.)
Some possible roles you might see in the game
TOWN ROLES
Elf (Vanilla Townie): No special abilities.
Elf on the Shelf (cop): During the night may investigate one person to get a result of guilty or innocent. (Guilty for anti-town roles, innocent for town or neutral roles.)
Hermey the Dentist (doctor): During the night may protect one person from attacks.
Reindeer Handler (jailer): During the night may jail one person. That person may not perform any night actions they may have. That person is also protect from attacks.
Workshop Elf (mason): Each Workshop Elf is included in a private chat and known to each other.
Keebler Elf (miller): No special abilities. Shows as "guilty" to cop investigations.
Fantasy Elf (vigilante): During the night may choose one person to kill.
win condition: To eliminate all threats to the town.
MAFIA ROLES
South Pole Elf (Mafia goon): Standard mafia. Knows who other mafia are. May carry out a kill.
North Pole Traitor (Godfather): Knows who other mafia are. May carry out a kill. Shows as innocent to a cop.
Clumsy Elf (Consort): Knows who other mafia are. May choose one person to roleblock for a night. Becomes a Mafia Goon if the only remaining mafia.
win condition: Make up 1/2+ of the town. (Exceptions if a serial killer, explained below, is present.)
OTHER ROLES
Krampus (serial killer): Each night Krampus can choose one person to kill. He wins by making up 1/2 of the town. (In a 1 serial killer vs 1 mafia case the serial killer breaks ties.) Shows as guilty to a cop.
Baby Seal (survivor): Be alive at the end of the game. If you die, you lose. You can win with any faction.
Some general rules to know (will be more detailed once the game starts),
The game will be split into Day and Night phases. Day phases are when discussion and voting will happen. Night phases are when night actions will be taken. Day phases will be 48 hours and Night phases will be 24 hours. I plan on 24-hour extensions for major holidays. (ex: New Year's Eve/Day is a day most of us will be doing other stuff so adding 24 hours to a phase makes sense.) If there's expressed desire for longer phases, I can extend these.
If you have a night action and want to submit it during the day I'm alright if you put conditions on it. (ex for a cop: If Sally turns out to be mafia, investigate Joe. Otherwise if Sally is town, investigate Bob.) This can help with shortening the night phase.
During the day if a player gets a majority (town_size / 2 rounded up) votes on them they will be lynched. After that happens their role will be revealed and the Night phase will commence.
Quoting private messages from the game moderator will not be allowed.
If you're interested, just indicate so below.
He says flexible, can go from 7 to 12+.
