I'm thinking about putting together a small Red Vs Blue mafia game. Based of the web series. But I don't know how to set it up just yet. Here is an idea...

I could maybe have the blues be the mafia. And the Reds + Extras be the town. The game might be slightly bastardly.

Scum team of 4 maybe?

Church - Vig that never hits his target. (while the mafia also get one extra kill. So they think that they have two kills however they really only have one.)
caboose - reviver?
Tucker - mafia Goon.
Tex - Mafia Godfather

For reds... (Town) there is...
Sarge - Post restriction, has to say damnit every twenty posts. (lulz, yea right) I can't think of a PR for him just yet.
Simmons-- Simmons and griff could be masons
Griff--------
Lopez - Town inventor
Donut - just vanilla i guess.
Andy - perhaps a bomb? rofl.
Vic - VT
Washington - VT
Griffs Sister - VT
Alien - VT
Wyoming VT

Doc/O'Malley - I was thinking perhaps SK for this role

-of course we could cut down on several roles.

Anyone that knows much about the web series and would be willing to help balance it out for me, I would Appreciate it.

i played an RvB mafia game on another site before, but i can't remember the setup. i'll bug some people and see what i remember from it...

Oh sweet Narsis. thats cool, i just don't want to make an exact copy of a game though =X

yeah you wouldn't need to make an exact copy, but it might give you some ideas...

Planning a game where abilities are not confined to one specific person. Basically means that you receive a basic role but may or may not receive an ability that effectively makes you a power role for that night. Then the abilities switch out at night's end. Had a reviewer or two say it was an interesting idea, but want to see if anyone would be willing to be the guinea pigs in seeing if it runs as well as it sounds...and if it has been done before?

i ran a game like this on another forum. unfortunately due to forum issues it didnt get a chance to even finish Day 2. i'll pm you with some of what went on.

the issue with flipping roles is more then just a cop/vig combo. investigative roles themselves are significantly more powerful. think about it: a cop gets an innocent result, then switches and becomes a townie. now he can out his result without fear of being nk'd and the town losing a power role.

Would anyone be interested in a game that allows dead players to talk after death? It would be called something like Dead Men Tell Tales, about 9 players or so. Upon lynch/night kill the player loses their ability to vote and their night ability (if anything), but can still try to scumhunt and participate in discussion. Roles would be fairly normal, such as doc, mafia roleblocker, etc., and the main goal is to keep players actively participating for the duration of the game, (though they will not be prodded or replaced unless they ask to be).

wouldn't that give the town an advantage? i highly doubt a dead and outed scum would continue to post anything.
