My thinking is this:
- Doctor provides a save during the night - If the mafia whack and doctor save are the same, then there is no whack - It would be announced as the doctor saved the whack last night - If this happened, I think we would revert to rules that apply if mafia misses a whack that are already in place (open to other ideas) - Doctor can save each player one time - Doctor is the lynch or whack, the role is gone obviously - the referee will go to great lengths to ensure that no information is given that unfairly advantages either side (I'll do my best)
If you have additional regulations, or ideas to change, now is the time, while we wait for an 11th player.

For posterity, here is how we played in the Mafia 100 Gala with this role (we also had a vigilante, which we won't have next game):
Doctor The doctor has the power to "protect" one player each night. They are allowed to protect themselves and can protect a different person on multiple occasions but the doctor cannot "protect" the same player on consecutive nights. If the save is successful, the ref will announce to all players at the beginning of the next day that a save was successful and the mafia kill was blocked (The ref will not disclose any player names involved with the "save" as that could lead to roles being disclosed inadvertently). The day then continues as normal with an even number of players. *The Doctor save will cancel one and only one whack. If both the Mafia and Vigilante whack the same player, and that player is whom the Doctor saved, said player dies.

Getting all fancy and pulling up the game rules. lol. I didn't see this when I posted above.

OK, I'm about to head into meetings for a few hours, so I'll set it up around 4:30pm.
Everyone please check in that you have read the modifications. We'll go with the Mafia 100 doctorrule setup, which is that you can save the same person more than once but not consecutively, and you can only cancel one whack, at which point the doctor loses its power.
I've actually just seen mods post "it is now day 3" and nothing else in the case of a successful doctor save. Though I will say I'm not convinced about the rule that the doctor can only save each person once, not how I'm used to playing.
What would prevent the inspector coming out on D1 then? And knowing they'd stay alive until the mafia whacked the doctor.
that's just part of the strategy. Mafia has the option to hunt the doctor, but also maybe the doctor knows that and didn't actually save the inspector, etc

hold up, the doctor is only useful once the whole game?

Yeah wait what--this seems a weird rule!
Statistically, it'd be pretty uncommon for a Doctor to correctly guess 2+ whacks correctly over the span of, say, a 4-day game. But if they are able to, power to them! Right?
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

These were the rules we used in Mafia 100 when we had the gigantic game, so I think we can handle it in an 11 player game. There are only 4 possibilities for the doctor to act, so it's not like there's a huge universe of opportunity. We'll try it this way and can tweak it in the game after.

Say doctor guesses the whack Night 1, is the doctor just done and gone? Or do they become town? Will they still interact in thread after they become obsolete? I feel like the doctor should be able to save more than 1 whack

Oh well certainly they wouldn't be kicked out of the game! They'd just start operating as normal town, I imagine.
