I hosted a game a few months back on another mafia...place that may interest some potential hosts here. Or it could give them some inspiration for something else entirely. I've done a few things in the past, but I feel like this was the one I liked the best.
Each player would start with a gun with a single bullet. Problem was that everybody was under the impression that they could just shoot whoever they wanted. In all actuality, each of the guns had a unique effect, from 'wounding' to 'backfiring' or being a dud that did squat. Chaos ensued. When the players realised this, it became a major part of strategy as well as enough of a mind game to not use their guns at all in fear of dying or just screwing up their odds of winning.
I personally thought it was a success, but since Sloonei only acted as my advisor during that game, he might have a more unbiased view of the way it turned out. I have no idea how to tag him in this, though. plz assist.
What are yall's thoughts on this? It might have to be adapted now, since I've given away the entire idea of it, but it could easily be adapted to suit whatever the host wanted.

Quin, that sounds fantastic. Star Wars here had a bit of a mechanic where my team (the Jawas) could create items that didn't always do what was advertised (some of them backfired).
You could adapt it... sounds like lots of fun to do something which has unpredictable results.

I like chaos. I also like vigi shooting. A while ago I used to think I'd shoot Llama right away, if I would ever gain a vigi role again, but my deathlist has grown significantly... since... Anyway, I'd still fire my bullet Day 1, Hour 1, no regrets.
Would play, you should definitely adapt this for our site.

I remember not actually getting to watch how this game played out because I was very busy with school at the time, but I continue to like the idea.

Re: Something I hosted once...
I might actually think about creating a game for this now
Though it won't be until I've finished my degree in a few weeks, I imagine I'll have some time while job hunting to give this a go.

The answer: all of them, if you are a marmot.
