Ok I'm going with Xcom this time as the Xcom threads generated a lot of lurker participation.
Initial plan is to keep all the roles secret to begin with - there will only be the standard two factions though.
No out of thread communication
Players may make a second forum account to play the game anonymously if they wish. This is completely optional. Preferably the name should look like one of the random soldier names from XCOM if you choose this option, and you have to PM me who you are.

Rules (up for discussion)
1. 48 hour days / 24 hour nights. Phase ends at 2100 GMT even if the moderator isn't online.
2. Roles will be randomly assigned. Players will be either human or alien and may in addition have a secret role. Quoting PMs from the moderator is forbidden, you may paraphrase in your own words.
3. Humans win if all aliens are eliminated from the game.
4. Aliens win if they make up 50% or more of the remaining players at the end of a phase.
5. Aliens may communicate out of thread, humans may not unless allowed to by their role.
6. During the day each player may cast one vote for someone to be lynched.
7. Votes must be posted in red or they will not count.
8. The player with most lynch votes at the end of the day is killed. In the event that two or more players are tied for the most votes, the tie will be broken randomly.
9. Aliens may pick one of their number to carry out a kill at night. Aliens may submit a kill order on behalf of their teammates, but in case aliens submit conflicting orders as to the kill details, the last received order has precedence.
10. Night actions resolve in the following order simultaneously within each group: Roleblocking, Other actions that interfere with actions, miscellaneous actions, Kills. This should not be taken as confirmation or denial that such roles are present in the game.
11. Dead players may make one posthumous post that doesn't contribute to discussion.
12. Anyone failing to vote for 2 consecutive game days will be declared MIA and removed from the game.
13. To prevent confusion that may arise in the case of cross posting, posts may not be edited.
14. Breaking the rules will result in penalties ranging from warnings to being mod killed depending on the severity of the infraction.
