Reindeer Mafia

Premise: An elf has heard some of Santa's reindeer are planning an rebellion! The loyal reindeer must weed out the traitors and save Christmas!

Setup: 1 person will be Rudolph, others will be the remaining 8 reindeer. Everyone will know everyone's names

There is a 50% chance Rudolph is scum. If he is scum and is lynched, town will immediately win. If he isn't scum and is lynched, town will immediately lose. There will be another mafia randomly selected from the other 8.

Just mix that and makeinu's idea for quantum reindeer mafia.

1 scum out of 8 is very townsided, and they can always hit Rudolf for a 50% win if things are going badly.

There are two mafia. Rudolph may or may not be one of them.

I actually want to run this mafia maybe after the next set is complete.

I guess that makes it better, but Rudolf's chance of being mafia (50%) is way higher than anyone else's chance of being mafia (something like 19%).  And the issue of "if Rudolf is scum then the scum can't really win" remains.

I'm thinking of trying to run my The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly game idea, found here with a few small changes to that version.

Either changing the player number to 13 or lowering the number of total confederates to 2.
The Ugly will survive a lynch as long as the Good is still alive (movie reference)

Any suggestions?

I have no idea about running a mafia game, but I want to see a BSER (Bring Someone Else's Role) again. The idea is that you submit a role name (more could be requested, though) to the mod, and then that becomes someone's role (the mod works out the abilities). The last one involved a guy losing his brain day 1 and at the end, the wall of flesh killing everyone (you can read it here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98843.0).

Has anyone ever run a dwarf fortress flavored mafia, and how did it go?

I have an idea for one, including written up fluff and everything, but I'm not experienced enough, probably, to run it yet.

Thanks!  I have mine set up slightly differently from that, but it'll be interesting to see how the set-up of that one works.

Bumblebee Mafia:

Premise: Foreign bees have entered the hive! Protect the honey and the queen!

Setup: All townies can sting. Mafia can't. Day ends when someone gets stung. The stinger and the stung both die and flip. Mafia win when they equal town. Nightless.-

Days are mainly for bookkeeping since there are no nights.

That is an amazing idea, but it suffers from a few issues. I think that it's too Town-balanced without modifications.
