Yes. I love playing games. And I love Mafia.

What's Mafia?

well, they're a criminal gang in Italy: But it's also the name of an internet game where there is a set number of people whom are assigned roles in secret: One or two people will be assigned the "mobster" role, whose goal is to eliminate the other players. They are considered "evil". The other players are assigned "detective", which can check one player every turn, "informant" who can protect one player every turn, "bulletproof" who cannot be killed unless by lynch and "citizen", who can't do anything at all! These four roles are considered "innocents".

The game is played in sequences of day and night: Every day, all players gather together and vote on who they most suspect is a mobster. If they are correct, the mobster is lynched, and if all evil are lynched the innocents win the game. However, every night, the evil can select one target who they will kill indiscriminately. Every night as well, the Detective may select one target to check up on, and it will reveal to him the target's role. The Informant may select one target to "defend" by warning them of a mobster attack. However, if the Informant selects a mobster to defend, the Informant dies.

All in all, it is a psychological game of intrigue where the liars must be discerned and voted off for their treachery. The problem is that some killers may make claims to be Detectives, and call doubt to the true detective's role: It's all very possible!

As I want to run one of these games, I decided that this thread is as good as any to do an "interest" check: Games like these aren't very worthwhile until we gather at least five players (excluding me), although it is far more exciting with at least eight players.

Do note that if we have enough players, it stands to reason we'll edit the flavor and context a bit to match DarkSpace...

I like it - Could fit into a story line about renegades or rebellion?

I'll do it - though my availability isn't the best in the near future.

Also, I demand some role include the word Gaifen, and that I be it.

Okay! Then I'll create a sign-up thread later this day to make a definite list of participants and see how many we'll get! I'll be playing the game's moderator, so I won't be playing, but I'll love seeing you guys discuss and debate nonetheless.

Of course, I'll go more in-depth on rules and roles in the actual sign-up thread.
