In case anyone is interested in watching me get completely outclassed by better looking and more skilled mafia players than myself live on video, I'm going to be playing mafia on twitch on friday night (could you think of something better to do with a friday night than watch someone else play mafia? you can't, don't be preposterous).
As it stands they're looking to run 2 games, an early game at 6pm EST and a late game at 9:30-10 EST and both will be broadcast on

The rules that we use are also different from the kind of rules you're used to experiencing on GAF, in Town of Salem, and maybe on other forums as well if you've played there.
It's usually a very simple setup with few roles, mafia are generally vanilla and we might only have a cop and a doctor, or a vigilante or a hypnotist of some sort. The roles present are known at the start of the game but when players die no information is revealed. Thus forcing players to rely on their reads and their understanding of the game to proceed towards victory. Mafia is also not allowed to communicate through mafia chat. They can only communicate their targets at night (yes or no to targets until they reach a consensus). Additionally in larger games mafia generally has the ability to kill more than one person in one night, we call it "2 kp until 2" which means as long as there are more than 2 mafia in the game they have 2 "kill power" and can kill 2 players in the night, with the potential to target a single player twice allowing them to override a doctor save.
As a few technical notes we use the zoom video conferencing software to run games, this requires one player to have a Zoom Pro subscription in order to host the games (the free zoom that everyone else has can only host a room for 40 minutes). We also use IRC to moderate the game, each power role and the mafia group gets a special IRC channel they can use to discretely communicate their actions to the mod.
So if you're interested in seeing people play mafia over video, if you're interested in seeing this kind of ruleset, or if you're interested in watching me make a fool of myself and basically do nothing, then check it out.
