A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Mafia (SPEED GAME)

For those of you with weaker constitutions,
For those of you who may be faint of heart...
This is Mafia, so why are you here anyway?
A young man finds himself ninth in line to an earldom, and wishes to avenge his mother's disinheritance and claim the D'Ysquith family fortune. To that end, he decides to murder his relatives. Hilarity ensues!
This hilarious new play is already one of my favorites, and lends itself perfectly to Mafia. Here is my rough draft of the game, as I imagine some tweaks will still be made. Also, it's a musical, so be prepared to write your own songs.
CIVVIES (10)
Lord Adalbert D'Ysquith - Eighth Earl of Highhurst and patriarch of the D'Ysquith clan. Adalbert's vote counts for two in every lynch.
Asquith D'Ysquith, Sr. - Asquith Sr. is just about the only reasonable and level-headed person in this story. Asquith may stop one lynch.
Asquith D'Ysquith, Jr. - A bit of an upper-class twit. Each night he can send a player an impolite letter, removing them from the lynch poll the next day.
Reverend Ezekial D'Ysquith – The clergyman of the family, and also an architecture enthusiast. The reverend will show someone around his church each night, protecting them from all targets.
Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith – Lady Hyacinth is a globe-trotting philanthropist, and she's absurdly hard to kill. Each time she is about to be killed or lynched, there is a 50% chance that she will survive.
Henry D'Ysquith – Henry is a country beekeeper. Each night he will send his bees to discover another player's identity.
Major Bartholomew D'Ysquith – Each night Major Bartholomew will force another player to accompany him to the weightlifting hall, blocking them for the night.
Lady Salome D'Ysquith-Pumphrey – Salome is an actress so dreadful that every night her performance will insanify another player for the next day.
Phoebe D'Ysquith – Henry's sister and Monty's second love interest. SECRET
Chauncey D'Ysquith - SECRET
BADDIES (3)
Monty Navarro – Monty is the son of a disowned D'Ysquith daughter, and he'll stop at nothing to claim the family fortune. He kills every night. Monty will also survive the first attempt on his life. SECRET
Sibella Holland – Deceitful and delectable, she is Monty's first love interest, but unfortunately a married woman. Sibella may redirect a player's power every night.
Miss Shingle – Miss Shingle is an old friend of Monty's mother, and the instigator of the whole story. She can control another player's vote each lynch.
INDEPENDENT (1)
Chief Inspector Pinckney – The Inspector is determined to see the killer brought to justice but he doesn't really care about the D'Ysquiths either way. The Inspector will win if he survives and Monty dies, but can win with either the civvies or the baddies.
