A game

I recall a game Chimerical created a while ago, does anyone remember how to play it?

The Mafia Game?

It didn't really work out too well here, we gave it a few tries but we never found a good way of running it and it died out after a while.

I'd be willing to play again if you can find enough interested souls.

O.K., but I need to know how it was played in order to get it to work.

Just the basics and I'll fix it from there.

Basically the game has 2 groups of people: mafia members (sometimes called wolves) and detectives (or townspeople). The mafia members all know each other and can contact each other by pm to decide who to kill off. The detectives usually have no knowledge of who the other detectives are (we played one game where every detective knew the name of one other detective, but that went bad fast...)

The game has two phases, day and night. During the night the mafia chooses a victim who is killed off at the beginning of the next day phase. Once a person is killed off they can't talk to the other players about the game anymore. During the rest of the day, all players (including mafia) discuss and try to determine who is in the mafia. At the end of the day phase, the players all vote on someone to get rid of (majority wins).

The detectives goal is to root out the mafia and eliminate them and the mafia's goal is to deceive the other players and get them to kill each other off. The game ends when the mafia outnumber the detectives, the detectives successfully figure out who the mafia members are and vote them out, or the two sides reach a stalemate.

There are some other characters that can be introduced, but that is the basic setup. If you feel like looking up some more info just google search "mafia game".

I guess I should note that someone else will have to narrate, I'm a bit too busy with school right now to run the game.
