Theme Test Market

comparethemeerkat.mafia

An idea based on the TV adverts and the comparethemeerkat.com website.

I believe that the advertising is only inside the UK, so non-UK people may not get it/see the appeal (heck, some UK people probably don't). I however think it's quite funny. Some of the TV ads can be found on the website here.

Mafia would be Mongooses (Mongeese?), obviously. All/most roles would be generated using the 'Find a Meerkat' search/generator on the website. Even if not actually provided with fake-claims, Mafia could generate their own.

Otherwise I guess it would be fairly standard mechanics. Not really sure what special mechanics that are meerkat-based that I could implemment.

You need at least one watcher.

THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM.

So, thinking it through, comparethemeerkat.mafia is something I'd like to run as a (small) Large-theme; probably around 15-17 players. As I haven't modded any games yet, it certainly won't be coming up any time soon. (Rest assured though that I haven't forgotten it!)

I'm currently working¹ on We Will Rock You Mafia (which will be a Mini Theme). For those who don't know, it's a musical based on the songs by Queen (fairly negative reviews by critcs tbh, but I loved it) - so that'd make the game a game based on a musical based on the songs of a band.

¹I have just thought of the idea²

²I lie. I stole it from somebody (with permission)

I'd like a reviewer or two for a 13p Mini Theme, comparethemeerkat.mafia.

Flavour knowledge not required.

EDIT: Aha, now I get why I was so confused. >>

Ignore this, wrong thread, my mistake, sorry all, etc.

Glork actually ran a Haiku Mafia: http://www.mafiascum.net/archive/viewtopic.php?t=4745

Then again that was over 4 years ago, so you'd probably be okay. :P
