It would be fun, but a fully live Mafia game would probably have to be capped to a relatively smaller amount of players than is usual for here, which would be a shame.

Theres certainly no reason why a 10-person game couldn't be achieved in, say, 3-4 hours with ~30 minute Day phases and ~15 minute Night phases, with a willing group of people ready to try it out.

I accept the challenge of GM'ing a live mafia game.
ND (879 D)
01 Sep 15 UTC
y2k how would you imagine it working?
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
01 Sep 15 UTC
similar to what wjessop indicates, with designated 5-minute pauses between phases meant as breaks and time for the GM to process phases. 30-minute day, 5-minute break then process lynch, 20-minute night, 5 minute break then process night actions.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
01 Sep 15 UTC
Days start on the hour, votes due on the 30 minute mark.
wjessop (100 DX)
01 Sep 15 UTC
5 minutes of break after every phase might not be necessary, considering it's live; so story would be unnecessary or absolute minimum; and you would process the turn live, rather than waiting; less people would also be less votes to count.

Having 10 minutes of break per every 50 minutes Day/Night cycle may not be necessary.
ND (879 D)
01 Sep 15 UTC
sounds great
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
01 Sep 15 UTC
ok make the night 25 minutes. keeping the day start and the votes due at the same minute of the hour each day is desirable.
wjessop (100 DX)
01 Sep 15 UTC
That sounds good; too narrow a Night phase might unfairly hinder the Mafia members -- 25 minutes would allow them to chat while keeping up appearances.

That would be 4 Days/Nights in 3 hours 40 minutes, easily a full game for 10 players (perhaps more of a vigilante role is included).

Reverse Mafia (Masons, Cult, Mafia) games are great - I'd love to play one of them.

As for "live" mafia... why on earth would you want to play that here? Might as well just arrange a game on Town of Salem or EpicMafia, or even an IRC room. Using a forum interface for live mafia is a silly idea.

@ND - I'd be interested in that.

Count me out of live mafia though. I have enough trouble following it when I have days to check in.

Though shorter night phases would work for live mafia if there were no optional town talk. After all, that's how live mafia originally started.
SaladinSmith (100 D)
01 Sep 15 UTC
Oh, like Hellenistic Riot said, I'd be much more inclined to play live mafia in an IRC room, or maybe on chatzy.

How can this move be done?
I am in a world game, and just saw a fleet move from Ukraine to Poland. How is this possible. I double-checked the map, and also looked at the orders for said country (just to be sure I wasn't seeing an army instead of a fleet). Is there some secret passage I am not aware of? Or am I just dense and missing something? Thanks in advance for any answers you have.

Full press anon live game Saturday afternoon (CET)
Looking to play a live game with full press with at least a few Dutch people this saturday at 14:00 CET, but looking for a few more players. Were aiming for a game with 15:00 minutes phase lengts and good quality play and press, and no nmr's. Just as a full disclosure, I know the other dutch players from F2F - but we havent played together online before and there will be no metagaming between us.
