So I have an idea for a new mafia game, now to pull it off I would need probably 16+ people, ideally probably around 20 (I might be able to pull it off with fewer but it would most likely turn into a quick game if so) willing to play but my idea is as such.
1. both town and bad guys are divided in half. Half of them are day players who send in a vote during the day and any actions at night and the other half are night players who send in their actions during the day and vote during the night.
2. Any player would be allowed to talk day or night but only day players are allowed to vote during the day and only night players can vote during the night.
3. All actions would occur at the end of the day/night period (So there would be no midday kills).
4. Since votes occur in both phases of the game both periods would be for the same period of time. I think to make the game work this is something I would have to be strict about with no long days and no short nights. Probably each game period would be one week long.
5. There are still a lot of ideas I would have to iron out. Most notably what kind of scum, vanillas or no vanillas? Is there room for third party? How would third parties even work? How would scum communicate? Would they be able to talk all the time or would they be split so certain players could talk at one time and certain players talk at another (possibly with a mediating scum player who can talk at both times).
Anyways, I think it has potential and I'll have some time to work on the details (This would not start until after Rock N' Roll Mafia has ended). I just want to gauge what kind of interest there would be for a game like this.
Edit: I should also note that roles that would normally have their action during the voting period of the game would still have their action at that time and there may be room for roles that are unique to this game.
