MafiaScum Role Play

Has anyone ever played?

If there is enough interest I would host a game.
In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia.
At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role.
The game has two phases, the first of which is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night.
During the Night, the thread is locked and no one can talk publicly. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other privately to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins. In this way, they can silence members of the Town who are threats to them. At the end of the Night, the murder is carried out and another Day begins. In effect, the Town gets to kill someone, and then the Mafia gets to kill someone.
The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else (or nothing can prevent the same).

I used to play a lot in 2006-2010 on another forum.

If there is enough generated interest I can start a signup thread.

We could just do it on here.  I've planned enough RT mafia games, doing one on a forum should be even easier.

That's exactly what I was thinking playing here. If enough people are interested there will be a spike in forum activity at least!

Seems interesting, count me in

Nice! Activity is key so if we get this rolling it will boost activity.

We can even do a short test game too.

I know this game with an other backgroud (werewolves & co) but that shouldn't matter.

If we get enough players to join, it will be fun.

Yes, so 2-3 so far. I will pm my staff.

I'm game

noice.

How about we do this with some fed-style variations? Make it a little more fun.

How about the Mafia being 10% of the people who sign up, and the Mafia only needing a plurality vote to choose who to kill? The Mafia could also kill a member of the Mafia, in the ultimate betrayal.

Fed themed would be fun. Good idea Dylan. And to answer your second question: that happens all the time in this game :p

Any other takers?

Unfortunately, 5 players is not enough to host a game :(

Perhaps I can help.
Im in.

I can partake if this is still happening

Cool. This may be enough. I have to get together a theme and roles and will PM you shortly after Federalist Press is done tomorrow.

If you need more, sounds like fun to me

Awesome, thanks Elvis!

I thought I had posted to sign me up as well, but I guess that was the drugs talking.

The more people the better.  It makes it more interesting and can stretch a game out longer.

F*ck yea!

I hope to get the roles out tonight and I will make a game thread where everyone can confirm to sign in when you're ready to start!

All roles have been sent out and a sign-up thread created for you to confirm once you have received your role.
All questions need to be sent to me, all thread discussion cannot be game related until the "GAME THREAD" is created AFTER everyone has confirmed.

I can't wait to get started!

Sooooooo how did the first game go? Likes, dislikes, Mod ad hominen? LOL
