This is my jam.

If we get 3 more players we can have a 7 person game, which is a nice base. Otherwise the mafia will have to be all alone.

Challenge accepted... if you'll explain the rules; I'm not quite sure that I understand the game.

May as well explain them right here. I'll explain the simplest version.

Mafia have infiltrated a town, and are planning on killing everyone in the town. The town is aware that their are mafia present, but they do not know who they are.

A basic setup has 7 players:
4 Townies, 1 Cop, 2 Mafia
These are randomly assigned by the host (me).

The goal of the Townies and the Cop are to eliminate the Mafia. The goal of the Mafia is to eliminate the Townies and the Cop. This is how they do it:

There are two stages to the game: day and night.

At day time, everyone can speak on a public topic. Together, they have to try to figure out based on suspicious behavior and mistakes on the part of the mafia who the mafia are. Each day there is a vote, where the town votes to lynch someone. The town requires a majority (over 50%) to lynch. That person will die and their role will be revealed.

At night time, the mafia can speak together privately, but no one else may speak. Together they decide on who they want to kill that night. Each night they can kill one person. They can also plan how they are going to vote or such the next day. Additionally, the cop is allowed to send the host (that's me) one person to investigate. The cop will learn if that person is mafia or not (guilty or not guilty).

The game ends when either mafia consist of 50% or more of the town or if all mafia are lynched.

Sounds interesting.

I'm assuming that this is done off the forum, right? PM or something?

We'll be using a site called Quicktopic which is useful for this sort of thing.
