As in the film? I don't think so...it'd be tough to find enough Uninformed Majority roles in a film like that (I had the same problem with Usual Suspects).

Reservoir Dogs was like that; the cops were the infiltrators amongst a group of crooks just trying to get along... I didn't want to do another game like that so soon after, plus I've got a couple other reverse games in mind.

More than anything else, though, it makes the daygame completely random/useless. If everyone's motivation is "kill anyone not on my team", lynches give you very little information. That's the whole idea behind the Uninformed Majority (or at least Plurality): you can't just lynch blindly because that person MIGHT be on your team.

Look up Gay Mafia in New York and the Rock Paper Scissors mini for examples. NYPD Mafia was similar but not exactly the same, if I remember correctly (should also be in New York).

Modding Requirements to the rescue; a large-size Theme Game requires two successfully moderated games.
