Hey there Bengals Board/Jungle Noise squad.
I come with a proposition of sorts, just to test the waters and see if there is any interest and to what extent. Some or many of you might have encountered before a party game called "Werewolf" or equivalently "Mafia" (they are the same game, just differing on two popular themes). These are games of social deduction, where players compete with each other on teams. Some are members of an informed minority (the mafia) and others form an uninformed majority (the town or the village). Members of the town team must attempt to sort out who the mafia members are, and mafia members must try to remain undiscovered by the town.
This party game has a message board forum variant that is extremely popular across the Internet. I know of over 200 forums that play the game in some capacity. There's even an annual tournament involving many or all of those sites to identify the very best players in the world. I have taken part in that tournament twice, and it's a fascinating experience.
This is isn't an advertisement for any other site though. I want to suggest that we play Mafia right here on the Bengals board. I have seen a lot of folks around here that I think could have the temperament for it, might enjoy it, and might be really good at it too. This Klotsch forum appears to be the most appropriate for this kind of thing, but if that's not correct please forgive me and move this thread liberally.
Here's a quick look at the party game if you want more information:

If there's interest, I could expand on how it works within a forum. To get a single game running, I would ideally need a minimum of 9 players not including myself. I could host the first one to help folks figure it out. Is anyone interested? Lemme know in the thread below.
