Ghost Mafia

[B Rob]

Stop me if this has been done before:

I've been thinking about a game of mafia where killed players stayed around as ghosts. They could still chat in the thread, but they could not vote. Also, their alignment and role would not be revealed until they were removed from the game by "being sent to the afterlife." Obviously, there would be potential for a bunch of new roles, particularly ones that could remove ghosts. Players could get special "ghost roles" after they die.

Anyone interested in this?

Okay, maybe my post was a little vague. I actually have serious questions about this idea.

1) Does noreaveal deaths help the town or mafia?

2) Does having dead players talking favor town or mafia?

3) Have either no-reveal deaths or dead talking been tried before?

4) Anything mechanical I should know?
