Now that's a first. Nifty!

Ok, we now have 8 people. I'll work on getting things set up sometime over the weekend. We'll start on Monday, I think.

Do people want a flavor of some sort (like doppelgangers or werewolves) or just basic mafia roles? (mafia goon, cop, doc, etc)

We're beginners, we don't know 

Since pming isn't allowed, would basic roles make things harder to identify the scum?

It depends. You guys may find the game difficult, since it's based on finding scum through suspicious posting if there are few roles, and that is rather difficult as a beginner. That's why I figured having an experienced player to guide them along would be recommended.

I think non-complicated roles are what they should start with. Mafia Goons, Townies, Cops, Doctors, Roleblockers, Vigilantes and Godfathers should be fine. Nothing more complicated, and indeed it might be better with a set (random) roles. Something like 25-50% of having a RB, Vig, Cop, or Doc (Separated instances), and a 50% chance of a Godfather, or some such nonsense. Maybe a 25-50% chance of a Mafia RB too...

I, personally, believe that a small game should have only the Mafiosos, Townies, Doc and Cop. Maybe a Godfather. That's it. Any bigger might be bad.

In mafiascum they put 2 IC's in every newbie game... 9 players total... 7 newbs 2 ICs to guide them... they ICs may still be scum but should try to help the players as much as possible...

web: mafia MUST have a Roleblocker to prevent a cop claim...

Analyzing and reading people is one of my strong points actually and is why this interests me. I'd jump right into a paranormal game but I would end up putting off all my other B12 commitments to try and master it, being the perfectionist that I am. Something nice and small like this is just fine at this point in time.

Hey, Web, Alexhans, Josh, do you like my idea of us making day-by-day statements to release at the end of the game?

Yeah, that's a good idea. But, like Alex said, there should be two ICs in a small game. Eh?

[Pandarsenic]

I'm thinking maybe vets who are familiar with the principles but less inclined towards lengthy analysis (Inaluct, for example) might be better for the people who are an actual part of it.
