Mafia Game?

[Jetthebinturong]

So, if there was a Mafia game on this site, would anyone join?

For those of you that don't know what Mafia is, there are two teams which are generally called Town and Scum (though they'd have different names depending on the game). The aim of the Town players is to get rid of all the Scum by voting them out, the aim of the Scum players is to outnumber the Town. Players are assigned their roles through PM.

Basically, after an inciting incident, the inhabitants of a place discover that a minority of inhabitants is evil (these are the Scum) however they don't know who and so they have to gather evidence and argue their opinions on who should be voted out. However, since there is no way of knowing who the Scum are, they also have a vote and will be working to vote out the Town. Only one person can be voted out per day (which would last from 2-4 days depending on what the players wanted) and after day comes night.

Each player (or at least the majority) have a Night Action such as killing or investigation which is assigned to them with their character. At night (which lasts as long as a day), the players PM the game-master what they want to do and at the end of the night, the game-master looks at all the PMs and decides what happens and will then send back PMs telling people the results of their actions, these results will be up to the players to reveal in their debates (you are indeed allowed to lie). Also the game-master may decide to reveal things that had only two people involved (typically an attacker and a victim) in the topic (with only the victim being known.

There are also Neutral characters who will win whatever the outcome, providing they survive.

The Scum all know who their allies are.

It takes a majority vote to convict a player. Once a player has been killed or convicted they are out of the game and are not allowed to participate. During the day, players may ask the game-master to clarify some things.

Typically there would be a thread for each day which would be closed at the end of voting with the OP revealing the outcomes of the previous night.

So, what do people think?
