There was some talk about a beginners mafia game being useful. How much interest is there in one? I think I could run a small, simple no-roles mafia game along with the Paranormal Mafia if there is enough interest.
Of course, that requires us having 8 or so people who'd like to play who don't have much experience with Mafias yet.
Since I have at least some interest, I'll start official sign-ups. I'm only taking players that are generally new to Mafia games. You can have played one or two previous games, but the point of this is for people who feel inexperienced to play and get a feel for things.

Rules:This will be a Basic Mafia game. I can use some sort of flavor if people would like (Doppelgangers, Werewolves, whatever), the inclusion of Power Roles is up for debate. If I include any, there will only be a few basic power roles.
Roles: Townsperson: The basic town role. Your goal is to help the town lynch all of the mafia players. You win as long as the town wins.
Mafia: The basic antagonist role. You and the other Mafia players work together to kill off the townspeople. During the day, you pretend to be normal townspeople and voting on who is to be lynched. During the night, you get to kill one other player. You win once you have greater then or equal to the number of town aligned players.
Mafia Godfather: Leader of the Mafia. He cannot be detected by the Cop's ability.
Cop: An honest cop, he may choose one player each night to investigate. He will then learn if that player is Mafia or Town.
Doctor: The doctor may choose one player each night to protect from the mafia's night kill.
General Rules: Rule on PMs: Private Messages will
not be allowed except to me, or amongst the Mafia members. All communication by townsfolk must be done in the thread.
Nights will last for 24 hours or until I've gotten the night kill order from the mafia team, whichever comes first. During the Night phase the topic will be locked and no public communication will occur except for messages from me. Private communication is still allowed, however.
Days will last for 48 hours or until everyone has voted (if there is a long period of inactivity after everyone votes I'll end the day to keep things moving).
In order for a lynch to occur, over half of the players must have voted. The player with the most votes against them will be lynched. In the event of a tie no one will be lynched.
All votes should be colored
red to make it easy for me to spot them.
Dead players may not post in the thread until the game is over, and may not PM any living players about the game.
The Mafia team will have a chat area on
http://www.quicktopic.com. I will PM the appropriate link to you at the start of the game. This chat area will let them talk freely without filling up their PM boxes.
Please, feel free to ask any questions you have about the rules.
