OK, if I ever moderate again - and right now, with my current game drawing less interest in a full game Day as this thread has before roles are even assigned, that’s an open question! - I am so doing Family Guy Mafia. Joe as the Detective! Stewie as Serial Killer! Quagmire as Guy With Genital Itching! the possibilities are limitless. ---

Sometimes when I’m bored I try to think of all the different kinds of mafia we could have. Sopranos mafia would be cool. Would the Feds be “scum”? Or if the good guys were the feds and scum was actual mafia, we could have a turncoat. Someone who no one else realized was the bad guy. The Big Pussy! ---

**FS** , maybe you could look up Quantum Mechanics Mafia? Roles start out as probabilities, and the states collapse during the game. So at Dusk on Day 4 someone’s state could collapse into Scum, thereby killing the person they targeted on Night 1. ---

Stewie as Serial Killer! Quagmire as Guy With Genital Itching! the possibilities are limitless. which i totally don’t get. cool setup, cool color, cool roles, etc. it’s got to be the hammering mechanism (or maybe something else since i am not spoiled). since everyone seems to be playing like if they vote wrong they lose their house. and i’ll refrain from further strategizing at this point. not because i think it’s a bad idea or anti game but rather since pm’s should be going out in the next couple of hours. seriously, if **chronos** had a problem with it he could have just cut it off at the knees. as a mod with kind of new mechanic i would imagine having folks talking would be very pro game. that way in case someone came up with something not anticipated by the game designer they would still have time to tweak the set up rather than just having the fucker broke on Day (Summer) one. ---

So at Dusk on Day 4 someone’s state could collapse into Scum, thereby killing the person they targeted on Night 1. Yeah. It sounds like a cool idea…though quantum games kind of freak me out because I suck at probabilities and all that. Sign me up in advance if we ever actually do Family Guy mafia. What’s the most out there mafia game we’ve ever done on the boards? Ooh–how about Clue mafia? Not sure how that would work. It would have been awesome for the “We’re all serial killers” one… ---
