I can open you a separate subforum for it, so the games don't interfere with each other. You don't have to start it though until you're ready.

Yeah, you can do that

The year is 1873. When large reserves of anthracite coal were discovered in eastern Pennsylvania, it led to a rush of immigrants entering the region, particularly Irish ones who were fleeing the Irish Potato Famine. However, when they arrived there, they were met with signs that said "Irish need not apply", with the only work willing to accept them being dangerous work in the coal mines. There were no safety regulations in these mines, and over 100 workers would die in the mines each year, with many more being severely injured, all for very little pay. But eventually, a group of Irish-American miners led by Jack Kehoe started to organize against their capitalist overlords. Soon, rumors started spreading about a group of miners known as the "Molly Maguires" as mine supervisors were assassinated. Eventually, the mine owners hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency to infiltrate the Ancient Order of Hibernians, believed to be a front for the Maguires. Ultimately, this would lead to the very first battle for labor rights in the United States...

This game will contain 9 players, 7 Molly Maguires (town) and 2 members of the Pinkerton Detective Agency (mafia), and all roles will be vanilla. Nights are open and ties lead to nobody dying. Name/flavor claiming is banned. Phases are 48/24 with an 11pm ETC EoD, with a phase being extended by 24 hours if it overlaps with Christmas.
