Ok, so greetings one and all.
This is an experiment to combine two things that are quite popular with at least 4-5 of us, which would be forum mafia-esque gaming, and the lore and humor of the action comedy "Hot Fuzz."
I highlight 'experiment' because the crowd-sourcing will likely require that the set-up be "open" (all roles known), but some of the humor would likely derive from names/roles/story.
In Mafia, too much openness (names, e.g.), if not done carefully can make for a game that's easily cracked.
This is a placeholder for the moment, and I need to get back to work, but I will open it up. HyperSomniaClive and I had some preliminary discussions, so I'll put those out.
Questions:
1) Format: Mafia specifically, or other game rules preferable to this game?
2) Size
3) Extent of roles
Ideas: (under development)
Some early ideas HSL and I discussed:
a) names potentially derived from movie humor: "P.I. Staker, Judge Judy (Town Executioner)" etc.
And with that very, very rough draft just to get something up, I'm going to open the floor to chatter and need to get back to work for a bit IRL.
Will polish this post and tentatively will use post 2 to collect/summarive suggestions, and post 3/4 as the alpha/beta space to "build" the game so there's a sense of what the current crop of ideas looks like put together.
