Mafia Suggestions

[alana stormbreaker]

I'm not sure if anyone is interested in playing another mafia game, but if we do (I'd be in, for sure!) I have a couple of suggestions, and I'm sure others do as well.

The main thing that I noticed was different in playing on a forum versus playing with a group of people IRL is that when accusations are made the accused had a chance to reply back before the final vote.

I'm sure it was intended to work that way in the forum game, but it never quite worked out that way for whatever reason.

So my suggestion is to add another phase- a 'trial' or accusation phase. It would last just as long as a night/day phase and would allow whoever had the top votes in the voting off thread to plea their case and change people's minds before a final verdict is decided.

I just think there's wasn't really enough time to really get a chance for everyone's character to come out. Adding another phase allows for even MORE backstabbin' and lyin'!!

What does everyone else think? I'm sure there are other ideas to make this game great, I would love it if it became a regular, monthly game- two-three weeks worth of game with another week/week and a half for people to sign up for the next game.
