I was thinking of an "Amimal Farm Mafia" but I haven't read the book and only seen the animated movie once, and hardly remember anything of it.
roles could be: pigs (mafia, with one gf and one that secretly works for town), dogs (mafia that work for pig gf), famer (killer), farm animals for other roles (cows/goats/chickens as docs, birds as cops)...No you weren't there when nothing happened baby, some fool can testify. Nobody saw your nails were dirty baby, just blame the flirty vile. You've got to say the wrong words right baby, you got to tell a lie.

I know I'm new around these parts, but here's an idea for you: Illuminati Mafia, inspired by the Steve Jackson Games card game. The different Illuminati/groups in the game could probably be easily translated into roles, although I confess I haven't really given them much thought. Anyone played the game and perhaps could take this ball and run with it?[size=75]The point of the journey is not to arrive...[/size]- Dragon Phoenix

Maybe not killed, but instead insulted that they be attacked and as a result they don't find the mortals worth struggling for anymore?No you weren't there when nothing happened baby, some fool can testify.

Or simply dragged into Tartarus and left there for all eternity. Lynchings would be effected the same way.
It depends on your mythology, anyway. Inanna died, and a rather complex trick on Enki's (?) part was necessary to get Ereshkigal to let her be resurrected; the story of Baldur's death is reasonably well known as well.[size=84]Not to worry.

Double-posting to say that Corsato, if you're considering actually moderating Mythology Mafia, consider this my official offer to co-mod (assuming, of course, that I'd actually be allowed to - if not, I'd be content with simply helping design roles). I've got a Bruncher or two willing to sign up here specifically to play it.[size=84]Not to worry. There's enough chloroform for everybody. --the silent speaker[/size]-

That sounds neat, but what mythology would it be based on? Norse (Loki, Fenris Wolf, and whatever other monsters Loki was the father of vs. the Jotun vs. Aesir) Or how about Greek (Titans vs. Gods)? Or would it be some free-for-all?
Also, you might want to do some researching to avoid pissing off the mythology pedants like me.Beaudoin responds: "Hey! Well, no hard feeling, I guess. Since 2 is greater than 3, I'll help y'all string up Medicated Lain" -jeep, Minigame 20-

Taken from here, there, and everywhere. Mafia families would, of course, be single-culture (Greek mafia, Norse mafia, Sumerian mafia, etc), as would mason lodges.
And yes, I fully intend to research these things. That's the main reason I want in on this. I find this stuff fun.[size=84]Not to worry. There's enough chloroform for everybody. --the silent speaker[/size]-

Hey, has anyboyd ever tried Foundation Vs. Second Foundation, or Hatrack River(From tales of Alvin Maker) as Mafia themes? They seem to have possibilities.MUNSCM Delegate for the United Kingdom

Someone mentioned here earlier the idea of a world politics Mafia.
I am working on an idea closely related to that, which would be Security Council Mafia. 15 players, with 3 probably randomly selected mafia members, so as to not make it obvious through world politics who were evil. The 5 permanent countries would all have veto power.
Now, you could stop there, or you could take it a HUGE step further. You could force the town to stick to UN speaking policies. A small tutorial would be held before the game started on to how this worked. I have had much experience in Model UNs, and I have copies of the simple rules to this. It involves a speaker's list, resolutions, points of order, points of information, etc. Every motion would be voted on. I suspect that instead of taking a vote immediately for motions like they do in the UN, that the council would have 48 hours or so to vote for a motion, and thus procedures would continue, and multiple motions could be held. People would right fancy resolutions and ammendments that would cause the removal of nations from the security council. As well, these amendments and resolutions could include barring people from voting, talking, etc.
Still flushing out the idea. Perhaps I will have a poll soon to see if anyone would be willing to play by the UN speaking rules.- Norinel

I think Security Council Mafia is more than sufficiently crazy. I'd probably play.
How about Mikado Mafia, after the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta? The town could marry off one person a day to try to marry off Katisha, or something, and the play has enough other roles to do some cool stuff (Townies become of either chorus, the Lord High Everything Else could have a neat little stack of powers he could only use one of at a time, etc.) , but I can't think of a second or third evil. - Norinel
