I could push up the date as well to start on the weekend so like the 15th or 16th as well.
Sign Up is here, and don't worry this will be a very traditional Mafia game with perhaps only 1 or 2 very minor twists.
Ok. The Winner of this Mafia will receive a Gifted Virtual Console Game...but how does that work with teams being played. Simple. After the game is over, we will open a thread to vote for the best player on that team, be it Townie or Mafia...even if that player died they are still eligible to be voted for best player...and since it is a thread you can argue for your support...you just can't cast your vote for yourself. Also I know what a bummer it is for special roles, so if you are the killer, or the Bomber you can try to sway votes for yourself to win...even if you are not on the winning team.

I will be posting roles as soon as I know how many people are playing.
Roles I am considering are:
Mafia of course. (No real unique powers for each member...though that might change slightly.)
Vigilante/Sidekick (The side kick will act like the tough guy role in my game, because their will not be any doctors...Side Kick can become a Vigilante if the Vigilante is killed by Mafia or the Killer.)
Suicide Bomber: (This role will be dramatically different this game. But In a good way. I already asked people about the change and if it was balanced.)
Detective: (Traditional)
Brother/Sister Role: (Traditional No Change: But if one dies they both die.)
The Killer: (I love this role. It is such a wildcard character. Very hard to ultimately win the game with, but so much fun to play.)

And I agree with you about the killer role. I always feel bad about handing it because that person is pretty much doomed to failure when it comes to winning. But at least you get to bring so many people down with you.

So far we have a list of 10 people. I am hoping to get 10 more people before sign up is over...and have at least 20.
Help PM anyone you know would like to play.

These are the basic rules to Mafia written by Khushrenda. So you can get an idea how to play.
How to Play. (If you are familiar with the mafia games already, skip to the gameplay reminders section)
Playing mafia can be summerized in one word: Survive! As long as you are still alive in the game, chances are you are winning.
Of course, it is a bit more complicated than that. You should remember that there are two sides to a mafia game. You are either a part of the townie side or the mafia side. If you belong to one side, you are looking to eliminate the rival side. So, how do you eliminate players?
Everyday there is a vote to choose one person to eliminate from the game. The person with the most votes at the end of the day is killed. Both sides can vote during the day, mafia and townies. However, after the day vote, there is a night action period. During this time, the mafia can send in a hit for whichever person they choose. The townies have no say in the matter. The next day or turn, the townies learn who the mafia killed and the game repeats until one side is left.
The victory conditions are a bit different for either side. For the townies to win, every mafia member must be eliminated. For the mafia to win, they just need to equal the number of townies left. So, if there are 3 mafia members left and 3 townies, the game is over and the mafia wins. The reason for this is that mafia members are supposed to be so powerful as to overwhelm the townies one-on-one. Obviously, if the townie number is lower than the number of mafia remaining, the mafia wins. A tie is the minimum win condition for the mafia.
It should be noted that there may be a role that doesn't fit into either catagory (mafia or townie) and has a different win condition. This role must also be eliminated before one side can claim victory.
Voting Rules
Everyday, a new thread will be created for each day the game lasts. In this thread, you can cast a vote for whomever you want. To do so, simply type in bold "VOTE (Name)" where name is the person you are voting for. You can only vote for one person so votes for different people will not be counted. If you wish to change your vote at anytime, simply edit your message and erase the vote. There will be a deadline each day for when votes can be cast. Once the deadline is reached, all votes are binding. If you change or edit a vote after the deadline, the new vote will not be counted and the old vote will remain as your choice instead.
Gameplay Reminders
I am going to stick with the long voting hours I introduced in Mafia 10. So, basically, the voting thread will be open for 21-22 hours. This gives everyone in all time zones a fair chance to play.
Breaking voting ties.
If there is a tie at the end of the day's vote, there are three ways to resolve it.
First, there is a role that allows one player to pm me and switch one person's vote to another person. If this has happened, the tie may be resolved.
If the person with this role is dead or has not sent me a pm by the voting deadline, I will leave the thread open for a length of time afterwards and extend the deadline. Important:The extended deadline time will be a maximum of 30 minutes if no other time limit is posted at the end of the day by me. During this extra time, any player can change their vote if they wish. As well, any player who hasn't voted that day may then cast a vote. The first vote that breaks the tie ends the voting. The person with the most votes will then be killed.
If, however, the remaining time has expired and the vote is still tied, the players who are tied are all killed. However, those players get to choose one person who voted for them to die with them. Thus, you may want to avoid ties.
Revealing someone's role after you are out of the game.
If you are eliminated and then give away someone's role, you are stupid. And no one loves you. Do not under any circumstances give away information or a role when you are eliminated. This may lead to a banning by Crimm (He really wants to test out his new mod powers and is just looking for an excuse) and/or general ostratization from the rest of the NWR forum members. Plus, I will take whatever action necessary to rectify your interference and try to screw you over for it.
Just play fair. Is that too much to ask?
Giving out information. Legally.
If you are not dead and wish to tell the players in the game a message, you have a couple of legal channels to do so. One, you can post this information in the voting thread or two you can send a private message to players. You can not, however, create another account and use it to hide your identity while giving out information. If you want to say something, you must accept the responsibility of saying it.
That should about cover the rules for playing the game. If there is something you are still confused about or something I didn't mention that you think should be covered, you can let me know by sending me a message or just posting it in this thread. Thank you.

All roles should be listed in a new thread Saturday, with PMs of personal roles going out Saturday or Sunday as well.
I have decided to add two new roles to game. Nothing game breaking at all. A new townie role and Mafia role. Hopefully, we will have enough players to use them.
As a sneak peak.
Townie Witness.
The Witness is a special townie role that enjoys spying on others. Whomever he votes for during the day he watches all through the night. If that person is killed by any night actions then the killer will be revealed to him/her via private message.
A simple role and power that isn't overpowering, and may possibly never be used...but at the same time it could tip the tables for the townies.

Hey, I am not beyond gifting.
Actually, this is a reminder that I Saturday is the deadline for signing up.
If I get between 25-30 people total I will give another NES game out. So if you haven't signed up please do. And this game, will be given specifically to the later half of the list, so that later signers have a chance for the game.
But, hey...we need to meet the number requires to be eligible.
