I am looking for active people who would like to play this game.
Gameplay:
Mafia (also known as Werewolf or Assassin) is a party game modeling a battle between an informed minority and an uninformed majority. Players are secretly assigned roles: either "mafia", who know each other; or "townspeople", who know only the number of mafia amongst them. During the night phase of the game, the Mafia choose an innocent to kill. During the day phase, all players debate the identities of the Mafia and vote to kill someone whom the majority suspect. Players are eliminated until only innocents or mafia remain; the surviving side wins. Mafia is rarely played in groups of fewer than five, and must always start with more innocents than mafia.
Roles
Roles are assigned by me pming you a role to play.
Night
The Narrator asks a mod to close the thread. Everybody can pm each other, but no posting on thread. On the first night, the Narrator pms Maia to acknowledge their fellow Mafia members. Variations at this point:
Day
The thread is reopened and I will announce the Mafia's victim. Usually this involves the Narrator telling a story about the murder scene that the remaining players wake up to, and/or a story of how the victim was killed. For example, "The police chief said, 'Bob was shot seven times, stabbed three times, and drowned in the river. This is the worst case of suicide I've ever seen.'" This player is "dead" and may no longer participate in the game in any way, and is thus permitted to keep their eyes open at night.
Depending on the variant, The Narrator may reveal the identity of dead players. During the daytime phase, the players deliberate over which suspected Mafia member they wish to nominate for execution. The Innocents want to execute a Mafia member but all players are allowed to vote. Generally, The Narrator will administer the election, the nominee may be given a chance to defend themselves and a majority is required for the execution to be carried out, although voting variants abound. The same rules apply to players who are executed by the Innocents as to players killed by the Mafia.
You can't tell other people who you are
You can't vote for yourself
I might give you a clue on what job the player who gets killed has
Discuss and interact with other players during the day on this thread
Phase duration
Daytime will last from 8:00 A.M Pacific Time to 6:00 P.M Pacific Time
Win condition
The game ends either when the last Mafia member is killed (Innocent victory) or the Mafia members equal or outnumber the Innocents during the day (Mafia victory). The innocents have no way of voting off mafia members at this point, but the mafia can still kill each night. Other variants have different victory conditions.
I will edit this and tell you all the roles tomorrow
Meanwhile, sign up guys. I'm expecting around 30 people to play

- The Mafia may have a chance to kill off one of the Innocents by pming me who they want to kill. The Narrator then says in the Morning that he was killed and game play continues as usual.)
- Optionally, Mafia members must secretly communicate during the daytime and then unanimously agree to kill someone during the night
- In large groups, each Mafia member can kill one person per night.
