Mafia was first invented in the Soviet Union, as a psychological experiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)). In homage to that heritage, and because we have a slowdown in games right now, I give you Cold War Mafia or: Dr. Leo Spaceman: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Lynch the Bomb. You are all Soviet Officers, in a nuclear silo in Kamchatka called мертвая точка (Dead Point). US President Ronald Reagan has just made his infamous “We begin bombing in five minutes” announcement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_begin_bombing_in_five_minutes), and the base, along with the rest of the Soviet Far East Army, is on high alert. Then, the base’s political officer, Dr. Lev Kosmonavtov is found dead. The base’s radio has also been tampered with, preventing rapid communication with Moscow. Clearly, the base has been infiltrated. Of course, you could send someone to report to Far East Army HQ, but reporting failure is dangerous, so you want to find the infiltrators yourselves. As for who they are, that is unknown, though the most common theory is that they are the American Bourgeoisie Capitalist Imperialist Pigs (ABCIP), meaning nuclear war is not far away. You have decided to execute one suspect daily, until the infiltrators are eliminated.

This game works best for 10-15 players.

There is one item in the game: the Silo’s Nuclear Launch Codes. The Town wins if they eliminate all threats, and the launch codes end in town hands. If the town survives but loses the launch codes, then that’s a minor defeat for them. If the town is eliminated, that’s a major defeat. Other factions may have different victory conditions.
The codes start out in the hands of a townie. If the holder of the codes is killed, the killer receives them. If the holder of the codes is lynched, the codes come up for a vote next turn. The briefcase with the codes can be exchanged freely between players at any time, as long as both the sender and the recipient send me confirmation PMs.

Rules:

• Adhere to the forum rules.

• Follow instructions by the General Secretary GM, or be sent to the Gulag WOGed.

• Day is 48 hours, and Night is 24 hours. Though I won’t be exact (if you get your vote in before the “Votes Locked” post, it’s a valid vote. This is because of my variable and chaotic schedule, and because honestly I see no reason to be stringent with deadlines.)

• During the Day Phase, you may vote for who you believe to be guilty.

• Votes must be bolded.

• If you wish to change your vote, you must Unvote or strike out.

• Whoever has the most votes at the end of the day phase will be killed, and the game will advance to night.

• During the night phase, the mafia will send me the name of the player they wish to kill. You may talk in thread during the night phase.

• If you are dead, you are no longer able to vote, use abilities, or actively participate in the thread. You may leave one parting “screw you” or “avenge me” or “glory to the workers revolution” type comment, but overall, dead men tell no tales.

• Private communication is allowed.

• Do not quote any message the host (or anyone else) may send you; you must use your own words. This also means that you can never quote your Role PM.

• No Lynch is allowed, and Abstain is allowed. Support Votes are not.

• Inactivity will result in replacement or WOG after two day phases of not posting. Inactives will be sent to the Gulag.

• Alignment is revealed upon death.

• No spam or editing posts, save for grammatical fixes. If a post has a vote in it, don’t edit it at all.
Have fun, comrades!

I thought you should know that the Wikipedia link is missing a parentheses.
 
Link fixed :p
 
In for the international Revolution!
 
For the memory of Lenin and Stalin!
 
Once I get 10 players, I'll leave signups open for 3 more days to see how many people I can get, then I'll start it. I guess I'll put you down as a reserve for now, and add you if signups go longer than jully 6th, or if someone goes AFK, or if I can't get 10 players. Does that work?
 
Capitalyist hegemonyist revisionist scum must be cleansed off the face of our gloryous revolyutionary republik. Otherwise, Sovyet Yunyion falls and we cannot have Archer taking plyace in twenty first centyury with ISIS taking on the KGB!
 
Ok, that's 10 people, the minumum needed for the game. I'll keep signups open until July 2nd, ~2:00 PM, in case more people want to join (up to 15 max), then I'll send out role PMs and start the game. Legato, it looks like you'll remain on the reserve list, sorry about that.
 
Signups locked. Sending out role PMs
 
This may take a while due to RL/interruptions
 
All Role PMs sent. If you didn't receive one, or if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

First update to come
