Greatest Idea Mafia
Welcome to Greatest Idea Mafia! This game uses the Greatest Idea Mafia setup from MafiaScum. There will be no write-ups and no flavor; instead, your "role title" will simply be your alignment and ability, your role PMs will be derived from these, and night phases will end with the names and roles of the players that died, rather than an extensive write-up detailing the actions that occurred. These attributes of the game make it focused more on in-thread reads and discussions rather than trying to analyze write-ups and other flavor-based things. Due to this, Day Phases will be 72 hours long, while Night Phases will be the usual 24 hours. Sitting back and waiting for things to happen simply won't cut it in this game. Discussion is vital.
When sign-ups finish, and before the game starts, each player will receive three roles, or "cards," from this list. I will be excluding the possibility of a cult in this game for personal preference, which means cards 50 (Evangelistic Townie), 54 (Black Goo), 56 (Private Investigator), 138 (One-shot Cult Recruiter), and 139 (Cult One-Shot Goomaker) will be removed, as well as the cards from the Replicant faction. This leaves a total of 134 cards, which means the maximum number of players in this game is 44 (but not this many is required to start the game, though the more players the better!). From the three cards that each player receives, he will choose the alignment from one card and the ability from a second, creating his role and discarding the third card in the process. For example:
If I were given the three cards of Town Roleblocker, Town Vigilante, and Mafia Goon, I would have six possibilities for my role. I could be:
Town (from Town Roleblocker) and Vigilante (from Town Vigilante) - Town Vigilante
Town (from Town Roleblocker) and Vanilla (from Mafia Goon) - Vanilla Townie
Town (from Town Vigilante) and Roleblocker (from Town Roleblocker) - Town Roleblocker
Town (from Town Vigilante) and Vanilla (from Mafia Goon), which is a repeat - Vanilla Townie
Mafia (from Mafia Goon) and Roleblocker (from Town Roleblocker) - Mafia Roleblocker
Mafia (from Mafia Goon) and Vigilante (from Town Vigilante) - Mafia Vigilante
This leaves a huge amount of possible roles for the game, based on what people get and what they choose. The third, discarded card will be revealed at the beginning of the game for each player.
It should be noted that balance in this game is not guaranteed, due to the vast number of possible roles. However, if the game is to begin with less than 50% town roles, or if no threats are chosen to begin with, the cards will be re-randomized and sent out again, to make the game as fair as possible. Balance isn't the most important factor in this game, though, so keep that in mind. The main point is to have fun!
Due to the importance of in-thread communications, it's extremely important that you're active in this game. I'm not going to set any rules about activity, but I stress that you only sign up if you're going to play the game, because inactivity can be a killer. Make sure to let me know if you'll be absent for a certain amount of time, however, so I know that you're not just ignoring the game.

Other rules/notes:
- You may not quote anything from your role PMs, including your "role titles"
- You may not talk to anybody about the game outside of the game thread, unless I specifically state that you can
- Do not edit or delete any of your posts in the thread. If you make a typo or something, just fix it with another post
- I will not be extending night phase deadlines to accommodate for abilities that haven't been submitted, because I'm not willing to hold up the game for people. I may send prods from time to time, but there's no guarantee that I will, so please try to remember. Also, if you aren't going to use your ability, please tell me in advance instead of making me wait 24 hours
- Groups may only talk in their group PMs during Night, but Night talk in-thread is allowed
- Play to your win condition
- Have fun!
