[CONCEPT] Modded-Mafia

Concept

I was thinking of a game where the moderators are the Mafia, the game will be forced to be on alts with not allowing any hints about who your mains are. Setup will have to be smalltown unless there's a Traitor in the game which would spice up the game-play a lot.

An overseer may be needed. Thoughts? Also this is probably already a thing let me know

This seems unenforceable.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

Or perhaps have an incentive to not? Incentives are always greater than a set rule but in LyLo it's a bit of an oof and the mods may need to claim another player aha.

Either this or have private signups

Just make it very punishable by mechanics.

"You may privately accuse any player slot once per game. If you correctly name their main account, they will have one penalty vote attached to them for the next 72 hours. This penalty vote will not impact the number needed to eliminate a player. This rule applies until there are five or fewer players remaining."

So basically if someone makes it very obvious scum can just pretty much obliterate anyone.

I seem to recall there being a role in the before times that was functionally "Congrats, you have to do the mods job for them."

Also, mastina ran at least one mod is mafia game where she was just publicly part of the scumteam.

I don't see a way to balance being able to win by althunting the mod(s) though.
