The only thing I have to say is that i'm not particularly sure how this'll work as a WP. While I love mafia, I'm wondering how it'll become a WP.
Actually, I have another comment. You probably will need an explanation of the workings of mafia (or, say, a direct link to mafiascum) and a better explanation of how this hybrid will work.
The thing about this WP Nai, is that it totally breaks the traditional WP style. There is no huge uber-quest that will inevitably end the World Project,
It is rather, an enhanced form of Mafia that focuses more on role-playing and the environment, more than a "World Project", at heart.
Will it take getting used to? Definitely. But I think it's got enough "oomph" to be pretty active.
And when I post the first round's information, I'll also go into depth about the play in Mafia and how this differs.
Right, but as an enhanced mafia isn't there a self imposed UberQuest which will end each round? Argueably its a we bit more subtle then normal but you can't deny that its there.
By the way are we supposed to wait for a pm about our towny/mafia status or can we just start?

Create a character, and the same night I make visible the location and story threads, all characters with a role that serves the function of also deciding 'town or mafia'.
Each round, should we get the popular support needed for this to function, would last ideally about a month or so. Each round itself is sort of like a regular ole' quest. After the first handful of rounds, should this do well, I'll probably work in some main overall story arc, but in the meantime, these first few rounds are experiments for everyone.

So are we ever going to get to play this game or has this just been an excersize in setting apropriate charecter creation?

My helpdesk should you need me.
the only problem I gawt, is I don't know jack about the 1700's so it might take people awhile to get a character together, gotta do my research first.
