Mafia - ORP style

[TearsoftheWorld]

This is a pretty popular game at parties and social gatherings, and I've done a version of it online so I figured it could work here as well. Let me know if you guys are interested and we can figure out the roles. If you've played before, awesome! If not, this is where you can learn how.

Background: Each of you (the posters) are citizens in a fictitious town (Greenfield for example). Sadly, the town has become the target for crime (the Mafia) and until the citizens of Greenfield can figure out who the murderer is... no one is safe. Luckily, there are a few qualified individuals in the town that can aid the people into apprehending the suspect and saving the villagers. Those people are the town doctor and sheriff.

The game goes as follows:

1) The Mafia will send me a PM and tell me who they wish to kill off in the game.

2) The Sheriff will send me a PM and ask me whether or not their suspect is the Mafia. I will reply with a yes or no. It is then up to the Sheriff to try and convince the townsmen to arrest the suspect, and hopefully save Greenfield.

3) The Doctor will send me a PM and tell me which player in the game they would like to save from being killed. If the person they choose to save is the victim of the Mafia, then that person doesn't die, and they stay in the game. On the other hand, if the doctor saves someone that isn't chosen by the Mafia, then the victim of the Mafia dies.

4) The rest of the players are regular townsmen, but after each killing you can all decide on one player that you think is the Mafia, and try and have them hanged. If you hang the Mafia, the game is over. If you hang an innocent, then the game continues until no one is left but the Mafia.

So in order for this be a pretty successful game, we'll need at least 6-10 people to play. There can only be one Mafia, one Sheriff, and one Doctor, but several townsfolk are needed. If you would like of the defined roles, let me know either here or in PM. Once the slots are filled we can start.

Note: I myself will not be playing the game, but rather moving it along as the events progress. If someone would like to take the reigns then I can take up a role in a different game.

Note: Information sent over PM is not to be shared with others, so if I tell the Sheriff that their suspect is the Mafia, they cannot say in game that I told them so. They need to come up with a good reason why they thought that X was the Mafia, using information from the game to provide evidence.

Example: Sheriff Johnson thinks that Cindy is the Mafia because she was absent from the town hall meeting around the time of the murder. She was also known for being an outsider and having connections with some previously convicted criminals in the area.

Sounds fun. I'm in if this is still running.
I have played this game before in person but I cannot recall what happens when the doctor saves the mob hitter. Nothing I presume, but verification would be appreciated.
By the way, position in city really cant be publicly posted here. It narrows suspects. You should ask for general information here and PM for slot requests.
