K, so i've had this crazy idea for a mafia game... "Spectator Mafia." It would be a pretty normal game, except for the fact that people outside the game can post on the thread, and are incouraged to do so... and the mafia would be able to talk via PM during the day was well as night, to speed up the night time choices.

Is that a good idea, or a bad one?

Bad : uncontrollable and unfair to the scums.

I think you mean, unfair BY the scum....

Communicating during day is not such an advantage.
Having 50 people looking for your mistakes, impartially, with no motivation of trying to mislead the town, instead of 10-15 makes any misstep much more likely to be spotted.
That said, my main grief here is that the thread would quickly be uncontrollable to the point of having to stop. It's a bit like 30+ games : nice in theory, unapplicable in practice.
