If you are voting "no" on this pitch, please post with what you don't like about it so that I can improve the pitch to make the idea work.Totally not copped sentence from LoF for convenient stuff that is obvious, bust still needs to be said for some people.
Idea summary for those who are to lazy to read, are confused, or just want a simplified version: This game is a normal FM game with only a few things different. Well actually everything is different. The only roles that are being directly ported from FM are the flowing: Citizen (For obvious reasons), Godfather (But not guaranteed to be in the game for more on later), Mafioso (Same as Godfather), Consigliere (Mafia still needs a very good investigative role), Jester/Executioner (Just to keep people on edge slightly), Mayor (Mainly for Godfather counterpart), and Doctor (A simple Town Protective really). There is no new Citizen alignment so don't worry about the 1 use Citizens, their is also no Mafia Killing anymore and they will be Mafia Head and Mafia Tactical. The roles able to be in game will be revealed down in the post, but what each role does is unknown and the town needs to figure that part out. There is no hidden or false objectives or abilities on the cards. I can not guarantee there is no Survivor esk role in the game, but if so they will be Neutral Benign and can not kill. New Neutral Killing's can only win with themselves, others the same type, Neutral Evil's, and Neutral Benign's.
Rules:
Days/Nights: Day phases will last 120 hours and Night phases will last 48 hours.
Inactivity: After 36 hours if a player has not posted they will be prodded. If they do not reply or post within 18 hours they will be replaced. If they receive a second prod, they will be replaced.
Whispers: Players will have two two-hundred character limit whispers each day.
Last Will/Death Notes: Will be in use. To set your "Last Will" or "Death Note" and PM the moderators.
Night/Day actions: You must send all Night/Day actions to both moderators, or they will not be counted.
Game Throwing: I have 0 tolerance for game throwing. If your role card does not specifically state you must die to win then you can not try to get yourself lynched on purpose.
Cheating: Do not use any outside sources for the purposes of this game. This includes, but is not limited to Skype, other forums, coders, etc.
Spam: Don't spam just to be annoying. You can still post your gifs, pictures, and videos, but please use preview and make sure it doesn't cover the page for no reason.
Hateful/Disrespectful Behavior: At no point, not even day one or if you are a Jester can you be allowed to intentionally insult someone. Being mean and hateful is not fun for anyone and does have its consequences.
And lastly have fun and try not to complain about your role to much. On the bright side you probably wont get a role you've had before. Sorry Citizens.
All forum rules apply here as well as the standard FM rules here.

Special mechanics: Spoiler:
All town roles win with town and Neutral Benign's, while all Mafia win with Mafia and Neutral Benign/Evil's.
Neutral Evil roles will be considered anti-town.
Survivor like roles can not kill, and are Neutral benign only. Neutral Evil roles simply will not get "Survive to the end of the game" they will have at the very least a secondary goal.
Neutral Killing's can only win with their own kind, or with Neutral Benign and Evil's.
Their is no conversion roles like Vampire that can turn you against your will.
There is no one time use roles. If they have a consumable it will have at least 2 uses.
Just because a role has a similar name does not mean it is that exact role. Notably the Mafia Head Veteran might not be the same as the Town Killing Veteran.
If you have heard the name of a role before somewhere on the forums or in ToS doesn't mean it is the same role. Notably Forger might not be the same as the ToS Forger.
Only Citizen, Doctor, Mayor, Godfather, Mafioso, Consigliere, Jester, and Executioner were not changed at all.
Consigliere's will receive the role card of the person when investigating them rather than their role name.
Finally the role list is sent to the public along with all possible role. However no one will know what the roles do exactly except for the people who receive the role, or find out through other means.
I think that is all for now. I know I might have missed something, so please tell me if you think I did and feedback would be lovely. Thank you.

OK I fixed it. So much code made it incredibly hard to find the Joker on the results. It's under role pairings. I would have put Investigator results, but there isn't an Investigator.
I'm not going to vote as it's too much like sfm 7, and we all know how that turned out... the roles may not be good but we dont know what they do so I'm abstaining.

I disagree. The town has a role list, the names of the roles, and their "investigation pairings" which is actually pretty good because at least the one line of flavor text hints to their role mechanics slightly. This is definitely a less chaotic version, but still a lot of mayhem. I like games similar to this, where you're less informed than usual.
