Want to host a quick game(Day phases About 1 hours, night phases about ten minutes.) and see if this is a more viable method of playing on this site. Generally the set ups will be open, allowing you to know what roles are in play. Multi posting will be allowed for this, but post editing will not.
First game is for 8 players.
EDIT-Cached versions sometimes are helpful Thanks google!
In a nutshell, mafia is a strategic game of deception, motives, subterfuge, and deductive reasoning that can be played through several different mediums. In this case, we'll be using a forum.
In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia. At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know who each other are, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role.
The game has two phases. Usually the first is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will also vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it is now Night. During Night, the Town can not communicate, but the Mafia can discuss the game outside of thread and choose someone to murder. After the Moderator has received the name of the victim, the Moderator reveals the dead player, and next Day begins.
The game alternates between Day and Night until either all the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have gained numerical parity or superiority to the town.

What does 'bingos' mean and who are 'Indies'? 
... Sigh at this rate it will take ~100 days before we have 8/8 people...
Although, we really need Orbs for this to work (he's the host...)
