A group of us are hoping to get a group together for a quick "Russian Roulette" style game of forum mafia. We have an imaginary gun with six revolving chambers, and a bullet in one of the six at random. The aim is to try and shoot everybody on the other team without getting everybody on your team shot. One team is larger but doesn't know who else is on their team, the second is smaller but are in communication with their team members.
The game requires some commitment and it should span approximately two days.

Everybody who wants to play post here! After an uncertain amount of time I'll close it down, send out the teams and start the game.

Thank you Krypsyn for The Rules:
(also thank you to everybody who's been copy-pasting the same rules since 2010)

Each player may attempt to fire the gun once, until everyone has made an attempt. [HOWEVER - gog house rules tend to be 'until everyone has made an attempt or the shot has been fired' - which makes for a quicker but less balalalanced game.]

All valid shot attempts are permanent. Once a shot has been placed, it cannot be recanted.

If the gun hasn't been fired successfully by a certain deadline (it will be noted in the thread), then the gun will automagically target a player from amongst those who have not attempted firing, or who have fired the least, so far in that killing period. This deadline will be 6 to 24 hours following the latest killing.

Revised, point by point rules follow

Do you mean that you will always have up to 24 hours after each killing or do you mean that you may have little as six hours?
SHOOT JOE!

Eh, I mean, I'm in.

no it means i'll wait a maximum of 24 hours for absent players to have a turn before randomly blasting one of them.

If we feel like we can commit it can be as few as 6 hours.

Ideally I'd like the whole game to take less than 24 hours. We find a time that works best, everybody shows up and says hi, then blasts ahoy.

Like Joe said, it's a much more 'real time' game than regular mafia. There is no "night", when someone dies they flip and it just continues.

I'll sit on this one then. I was thinking entirely of my time zone (US Pacific) putting me significantly behind everyone else. 7am my time is already 3pm in the UK.

If it's any consolation, I'm usually up super late at this time of year. I certainly wouldn't be showing my face in game before 3pm. :)

If Joe doesn't mind that I will be 100% sleeping between what would be 6am and 3pm UK time due to being in California, then sure I'll join.

I was only concerned that my time zone could create an issue and make people wait around.

I think if people in the Americas are happy to play during the day and those of us in Europe are happy to play during the evening then I think it should work! If we have anyone in east Asia it might be more complex since 3pm BST would probably be around 11pm for them...

It's 10pm Tuesday here in California, which is about 2pm Wednesday in Japan (and 3pm in Australia). The time zone differences are pretty extreme between where I'm at any people on the other side of the ocean.
One of these days we have to do one where players shoot themselves and name who should do so next.

I never played it but I was expecting the mafia to go on for a bit longer so if this is going to happen soon (this week), then I am up for it.
