Credit goes to LightFang, from CFC, for the background and rules, to which I have made some slight modifications.
--------
Once upon a time, there was a town named Town. Some of the members of this town were members of a secret criminal organization. Most people were not.
One day, there were orders from the head honcho of said criminal organization: eliminate everybody in the town.
The question on their lips was: Why? The town was pretty much idyllic. There was a lake, it was moderately close to the beach, moderately close to the mountains, had a temperate climate, and had a low crime rate, high educational opportunities, and even had a thriving economy. Its chief export was vanilla; its chief import was chocolate.
But, like good mafiosos, they struck, quickly and silently. Due to bureaucratic limitations, however, they could only kill one person per night. So they killed Mayor Meuilleur.
Upon the discovery of the corpse, the townspeople suddenly knew what to do: about 20 of them would decide the fate of the rest of the town. They would do this by holding special votes and lynching people once per day until the mafiosos were dead. It had worked before (actually this had never been tried).
That being decided, the townspeople went to sleep, some for the last time...

Some of you from CFC may know this style of game, but I don't believe it has ever been done here on the org before.
RULES
- 1 mafia for every six or seven townspeople.
- Nights will last approximately 24 hours.
- The game starts with Night.
- Mafia members will PM their kills and clues to me at night time.
- Clues can be either true or false, and they must alternate. You choose the veracity of your clue at the onset, and then they must alternate.
- All clues must be explained to me.
- If a mafia member fails to send in a clue, I will make a true clue.
- Example of a clue: "Charlie was found dead with a pizza stuffed down his pants." (incriminates Askthepizzaguy) *Remember to also give an explanation with your clues.
- Day will last approximately 24 hours.
- Voting will occur during the day.
- The amount of votes given will equal the number of mafia.
- All votes must be in the usual
Vote: Zack format. If you wish to unvote, then use the
Unvote, Vote: z4ckdabeast format.
- No votes for No Lynch or Abstain.
- Dead players may continue to talk, but they're not allowed to reveal any information which isn't already in the game thread.
- Alignment will be revealed upon death.
- No private communication of any kind.
- No screenshots, etc.

I don't need a set number of sign-ups, but around 12 - 17 would be ideal.

Cecil XIX 05:10 11-03-2011
I'll give this a whirl.
TheLastDays 07:33 11-03-2011
I wanted to stay out of it. I tried. Sign me up as a reserve.
In :)
Askthepizzaguy 10:34 11-04-2011
Hint: It's not Askthepizzaguy but he's going to die anyway.
In. Why not?
This sounds fun and kinda weird. I want in please.
Yes please
robbiecon 23:50 11-04-2011
I'll sign up, every game I'm in at the moment is either really quiet, or I'm dead, or they're awaiting replacements.
It's been three days, and it looks like there simply just isn't enough interest for this. Please take this game off the queue.

You said 12-17 would be ideal and you're 1 off the lower end of that, why not send out a few pms, you're bound to get another couple in.
TheLastDays 16:18 11-05-2011
Actually you already have 12, counting me, so what's the big deal? A few PMs should net you a few more and this could run well
3 days to get the absolute bare minimum indicates a severe lack of interest. I don't want to host a game with uninterested players.
johnhughthom 17:34 11-05-2011
On the corpse they found a suicide note, though they still didn't know who it was.
"I was a silly host who thought nobody wanted to play my game, and therefore nobody loved me..."
Host the darned game Zack. Just because we aren't quite as enthusiastic as you are regarding scissors doesn't mean we are uninterested. In fact, I resent that slur on my character. Mean Zack.
TheLastDays 18:07 11-05-2011
Yea, I'm interested. I don't sign up if I'm not. The reason I only sigend up as a reserve is because I'm pretty limited timewise, atm.

I just think the clue aspect isn't too clear and people are lazy to read the other game ^^
classical_hero 19:01 11-07-2011
Give me a clue.
in if it will be hosted
Oh sure. I will join.
In.
DaveShack 06:55 11-08-2011
I have tabs open to all the games I'm active in, and just don't remember to check the main rooms very often.
In. Even though I tend to get hammered in clue games, don't spend enough time looking at people's avatars and sigs...
Sorry, I forget to check the org.
There are enough players to start! Night 1 should begin rather shortly.
IT IS NOW NIGHT ONE!
Mafia, send in your orders.
(may be extended, as it is Night 1)
Askthepizzaguy 08:15 11-11-2011
Awesome. Another mafia role. This will be the finest hour! Pizza's finest hour! No one will ever suspect I am scum! Bwahahaha!!!
