So, basically it's a Theme game in which the flavor is that it takes place in modern times, where more or less everyone has access to internet or some other type of long-distance communication. Mechanically, this is represented by the (relative) absence of restrictions about communication outside of the thread. Think of it like someone posting "ZOMG RADICAL RAT JUST GOT MURDERED!!!!!" on your Twitter feed, or sending sending selfies from the gallows to your buddies on Snapchat.
All living players may communicate with any other user on-site, regardless of their participation in this particular game, game phase, alignment, or role. Dead players, however, are restricted to the dead thread, as they cannot access their networked devices on account of them being dead.
To ease moderation, protect privacy, and ensure accessibility, all out-of-thread communication must take place on-site. This can be via PM, or in other topics, but the mod must have access and be informed upon creation so that game and site rules can be enforced.
I believe this would create a more dynamic game where interesting and unorthodox strategies can flourish, and be a neat experience for spectators as well, as they may indirectly participate, but I'm not quite sure how this will affect balance.
SO, what I'd like from YOU, the good people of Mafia Discussion, are suggestions for roles, and/or additional mechanics/rules, and a willing moderator for a prototype run. As much as I'd like to mod it, I do not have any moderation experience, so probably not a great idea to make this my first. ( That, and the fact that it's illegal as per site policy. )
