Anyone up for another one?
EDIT: Borrowing Zakalwe's signup-post from last game:
1. What is mafia?
It's originally a psychological party game for live play, based on deceiving and reading other players. Wikipedia link. It has been adapted for forum play, where it remains a game of psychology, but the focus shifts from reading body language to relying on deduction, intuition, and interrogation. Rhetoric also plays an important part, so in a sense it is also a game of debating. It's fun! But it can also take an emotional toll, particularly if you don't approach it with the right attitude. On this forum, we have primarily played mafia with a "werewolf" theme, but it's the same underlying game. (Instead of a town terrorized by the mafia, the werewolf theme features a village haunted by werewolves.)
2. Setup for this game.
We might be using a semi-open 13-player setup called C9++. It introduces some randomness about the exact setup, but the set of potential roles that may exist is known, reducing the need for meta-speculation.
3. Moderator.
The game will be hosted and moderated by Jowy. The game will start on TBD.
4. Sign-ups.
