The Syndicate

I did something like this once a long time ago on another site. The overall format we used for mafia there was different though. Roles were not announced at the beginning of the game, but all roles were revealed upon death. Day periods did not end until everyone voted (and likewise for night periods). Games were generally not very elaborate though. We were all pretty new to mafia, so a couple of us took turns hosting games, and getting more and more interesting with the themes and roles used.

One game, I decided to send out role PM's a little differently. Instead of sending out normal roles, I sent out a PM to every single player telling them to pick a role of their choice, but I also implied to each player that he/she was the only one who was able to do so. A couple people picked alignments to go with it, and the rest I assigned accordingly to balance things out. I realize now this isn't all that wild of an idea, but back in 2009 (I think) with a bunch of mafia newbs, it seemed pretty crazy. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the game a couple days in due to some silly drama cases.


I would really love to try something like an Improv Mafia, but I don't know if that is feasible considering that a host can be prone to bias.

Metalmarsh89 (civilian): Each day, you must self-vote but make a case (to be judged by the host for quality) against another player with a minimum of 1,000 words of original content (so excluding quotes). Failure to do either of these things results in death. If you gain the most votes and are lynched, you cannot win with any team. If the player you make a case against is lynched on the same day you made the case, you die in their place, and must make 20 dead posts each ensuing day/night cycle for the remainer of the game in order to win with any team.

Vander Raptor
Coolest Raptor there is. Preys on llamas. (Secrets) If Llama calls on him being bad early on (D0/D1) and nobody cares, Vander Raptor wins with any team.

Though I think the grudge between you and llama can be a bit much, this is hilarious.
