The Syndicate

Players:
There will be 19 players in this speed game. 15 players will be civilians and 4 players will be Mafia. In order to play, you must upload a picture of yourself from the shoulders up and make it your avatar. Feel free to be creative. Put on a hat, grow a mustache, wear a wig, etc.

Mafia has BTSC and kill each night.

Day Polls - Players will vote for one picture to be "put down".

Night Action - Vote for a player via PM (you may not vote yourself). The winning player gets to PM the host a yes or no question about a Mafia member. Once you've asked a question about the Mafia, anonymous votes for you will no longer count.
- Acceptable question example: Does a member of the Mafia have red hair?
- Unacceptable question example: Is so-and-so a Mafia member?

That's it! Simple and fun!

This is an awesome idea!!

I know, right haha. Thanks! Epi helped with some of the game mechanics, but we were talking about Guess Who? the other day and I said, "that would make for a great Mafia theme!"

I wanna play an Elo game!

Always awesome when that happens.

I'm so obsessed with mafia that a similar occurrence happens to me so often to the point where I'm at like 15+ themes for games where I know I said that but I just haven't had the motivation or time to develop into actual games.

I love the mechanics, because it lends itself well to multiple plays. There are no roles or secrets, so there could be a "Guess Who?" mafia each year. Plus, people can have fun with their avatars.

And I must brag on my lady. Her current avatar IS a cake she made. Behold:

I have a similar problem. Too many ideas, not enough time.

I think I need to collaborate more, since I like designing a game way more than actually hosting one (which, it turns out, is a lot of work)

We have Jethro Tull Mafia to do.

Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about that!

Oooh this look so fun, Eloh! I'm already thinking of all the stupid possibilities I'll put in my avatar

@ Epi - You're sweet to brag on me, baby! I was happy with how it came out with it being my first "book" cake.

That is a stellar cake. I just don't know how you do it!

That...cannot literally be a cake. Right? Tell me that's not a cake.

Y'all are too sweet. It IS cake! Vanilla with cookies-n-cream frosting to be in fact. And the cookies-n-cream tastes just like ice cream! Mmm.

Wait... I thought you just liked the books. :$ Good job, Elo!

Genius!

Sidenote: Oh Charles. Your face will forever be ingrained in my nightmares.
