Overnight, a small village is enveloped in fog and the population is cut to a mere twelve who meet in the center of town to discuss their plight. The fog coalesces around their faces and their voices roll from beneath the obscuring mist as impossibly deep rumbles that sound inhuman to the ears. Who or what has done this and for what purpose?
Welcome to True Name Mafia
This is a standard game of mafia for 12 players, with an additional twist: in addition to your alignment, your identity is a secret. Every player in this game will have a gimmick account to post with rather than their normal account. If your true identity is guessed, you lose your gimmick and the person who guessed your name correctly first has collected your name for themselves. Take care.
This is a game of mafia that rewards slightly different skills of deception and intuition, but the same skills as a normal mafia game as well. As such, this game is recommended for experienced players only. Good luck.
Complete rules will be posted with the game thread, but here's some things to consider before you sign up.
I will supply you with your gimmick account.
I will be lenient with mistakes involving posting in the thread with the wrong account, unless I think you are trying to fake it for your benefit. At that point I reserve the right to modkill you.
Posting with a gimmick account can be challenging. One good tip is to post with the gimmick with a different internet browser than your usual. This allows you to be signed in with both your real account and your gimmick at once.
Please sign up for this game with your most well-known account. Hiding your identity at sign-ups runs counter to the main point of this game.
Even one replacement has the potential to ruin this game, far more than in an average game of mafia. If you join, you are committing to playing the game out and playing the game actively. If I have to replace you without good reason I will be mad and sad.
Site moderators could use their powers to discover who is playing which gimmick. However, mods are generally trustworthy and there are many OoG ways for anyone to cheat/break the sportsmanship rules. So I'm going to allow moderators to play. (And don't worry about mods accidentally discovering the identity of a gimmick, its not something you can stumble into on accident.)

Oh yes, I should probably mention that this game was reviewed by Cantrip and Kraj.
AsianInvasion deserves some credit as well, though he stopped reviewing very shortly after I started on this idea rather than my original terrible ones, he certainly helped me see why my original designs were bad.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.

I'm skeptical, as I will be V/La during some of July, and I fear that will expose my identity if I join in. V/La's seem very disadvantageous.
But, why the heck not. /in

My thoughts are with the friends and family of the Orlando Shooting victims and with the rest of the LGBTQA+ community.

HOLY ***** AZRAEL! How's the lawyer stuff?
Hey SB, been a while. Out on my own, trying to get my solo practice going. And got a little Mini-Az now.
Nice dude. Yeah, it most definitely has been a while... And to think, we used to chat on AIM weekly all those many moons ago
But, why the heck not. /in

I went back and read that game. Holy, ever-loving, *****... Took a solid weekend. Still don't think I understand what was happening throughout it.

This could be a fun experiment.
I still want to play but I've decided I'd rather not be in three games.
