[Servant Corps]

It's been a long time since I ran a Mafia game, so why not? Rules of the game are inspired by this, with some 'modifications'.

Roles:
*Communist - Goal is to outnumber the Town outright OR to survive when the Town votes "End Lynching" OR to ensure that the Town's number is reduced to 5 or less if there are no Communists (this is to discourage the Town from engaging in a self-destructive witchhunt). The Communists can choose to send one of their members to “indoctrinate" a Vanilla Townsperson at Night, turning that person into a Communist.
*HUAC Member – Responsible for attempting to identify the communist members (2 attempts per Night). Its investigations will come after Communist indoctrination. The HUAC Member is immune to indoctrination, and he will receive a message telling him that he was indoctrinated, and who attempted to indoctrinate him. If the HUAC Member is indoctrinated, he commits suicide.
*Vanilla Townspeople -No powers.

Game starts at Night, allowing for the Communists to "indoctrinate" an individual off the bat and the HUAC Member to investigate.

In the day, Vanilla Townspersons may vote to "blacklist" an individual. Blacklisted individuals are removed from the game, but do not roleflip. Vanilla Townspersons may also vote "End Lynching" to end the game, or "No Lynch" to just move onto Night without blacklisting anyone.

Town wins when Communists lose.

...yes I know that in previous games, conversion mechanics mean that the Town has an incentive to work with the Mafia in hopes of conversion. I think I'll keep that in to have the whole "fellow traveler" vibe.

[Leafsnail]

Well... there's basically no way the HUAC can die, is there?

[Servant Corps]

Good point, Leafsnail. I have it that if the Communists indoctrinate him, he commits suicide. We don't want another Ghost-like role.

[Mr.Person]

I'm assuming there's only 1 communist at the start? Or does that depend on how many players there are?

[Servant Corps]

I will not say how many Communists they are.

[Leafsnail]

In b4 zero comunists.

[Mr.Person]

Hmm... wasn't there a game a loooong time ago like this... kinda?

Whatever, count me in.

[NativeForeigner]

Looks fun. In.

[Pandarsenic]

In, pending promise of there being at least one Communist.

[Servant Corps]

4 people have signed up:
---Leafsnail
---MrPerson
---NativeForeigner
---Pandarsenic

I'm leaving sign-ups open until Wednesday, and then I'll send roles.

[JanusTwoface]

So how few people are you willing to run this with exactly?

[vadia]

da.  Sounds more fun than hunting moos and skwirrel

[Servant Corps]

In, pending promise of there being at least one Communist.

Oh, and I missed this. Yes, there will be at least one Communist.

So how few people are you willing to run this with exactly?

I don't know, but I'm going to suspect that I'll have to modify the last Victory Condition of the Communists if we have less than, say, 7 players.

I also found a loophole in this game which I have to fix before the game gets broken: You cannot vote No Lynch, only vote to blacklist someone or vote to End Lynching.

[Servant Corps]

Oh wow, kinda forgot about this thread. Uh...5 players seem a bit too "small" for a game about conversion, since it would turn into what is essentially a single "random lynch or lose" style game. I'm going to...uh...cancel?
