Basically think of it like a game of forummafia where players play on a thread where they post things and play their roles but everything the player does must be in character. Is it a good idea or bad one
I am thinking of a test rolelist as a test to see if the concept can work.
For Town
1.Sheriff
2.Lookout
3.Doctor
4.Vigilante
5.Escort
For Mafia
1.Godfather
2.Consort
3.Consigliere
Neutrals
1.Serial Killer
