... forum mafia?
I've done this many other times at many other forums and it's a shitton of fun.
By "forum mafia" I'm referring to the party game Mafia, also known in some variants as Werewolf, Murder, etc. It's a real-life party game where one or more people is/are chosen by a "game master" as Mafia, and usually everyone else is Innocent. During the game's "night", the Mafia awaken and choose who to kill. That person then dies and is unable to participate in the "day" discussion. During the "day" discussion, all members vote on who they believe to be Mafia, and the person they vote for is then killed. It is the Mafia's goal to get all the Innocents killed, and the Innocents' goal to vote out the Mafia.
... Such is the basics, anyway. Mafia has been adapted to the Internet such that all sorts of crazy roles are possible. Internet Mafia can also be themed - I'm participating in a Pokémon-themed Mafia right now, and the same forum is also running an SSBB Mafia. With as many members as the Kiwi Farms have, we could potentially get one hell of a great Mafia game going.
You know, assuming people are interested. It's kind of most popular among kids - I always played it at Girl Scout camp, for instance. But forum Mafia has the potential to include unique logic that is a bit harder to work with in verbal, real-life Mafia. You have a good couple days in real time to go through logical discussions about the progression of the game. (Or you can just vote people with no logic, I guess, but I find the logical discussions more fun, personally.)
