Aye.

Nay.

Maybe?

I like pork.

Because I don't think there is a similar thread on this forum, I present you the Mafia-like game, that is "Psycho-Maniacs on the loose!".

There are multiple killers and multiple guards, but the guards will have an advantage.
I will use a d100 in this game, higher the better, and so on. 1 is CRIT FAIL, 100 is CRIT WIN. Crits fails hurt badly. Crit wins hurt the loser VERY BADLY.
The most basic explanation for this games mechanic is this:
Someone is a killer. He kills NPCs. He sends me his actions via PM. There are also guards trying to stop him. Faster they catch him, the better rewards they get. The better the guards equipment is, the better the killer is.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are no hitpoints in this game. This is supposed to be realistic, so no character walking around with multiple gunshot wounds in his forehead. Damage will be counted medically, so various arteries and organ wounds tend to be more dangerous than a cut on your hand.
Example fight:

[Turn 1] Killer stabs a mook in the back! The mook doesn't expect a fight, and doesn't have Quick Reflexes, so this roll is not opposed.
Killer aims for the victim's kidneys with a 20 cm knife! Due to Mook's ineptitude to not bleed to death, he is bleeding! He shouts out in pain! Others in the neighborhood are alarmed!
[Turn 2] Killer slashes victim in the neck! Killer's [47] vs Mook's [4]
An artery is cut! Killer runs!
Due to bleeding out and not receiving medical attention, Mook dies. Killer runs [1](CRIT FAIL) and trips. His knife is now stuck in his chest. No important organs are damaged.
An angry mob catches up to him! Mobs' [97] vs. Killer's [57] They literally rip the killer to shreds!

Since I do not have much experience in GMing, most issues will be answered ingame. The rating of a killer rises with the amounts of his kills.
Do not get attached to your characters, due to the nature of this game, you WILL lose your characters and there is nothing you can do about it.
Guards post their actions here, and killers PM me theirs. Killers, please keep my rolls send to you, after the setting is finished, I will post them.

Okay, let us be off! Varee, PM me your actions, and NRDL, post them here!

It is 11:00 PM

NRDL:

[42] You are stationed next to an inn. After 2 hours of calming down drunken citizens, you are irritated at your fate. Why you always get the worst shifts? Why do you have to listen to the commanders' orders?
Your thoughts are interrupted by a very loud shout... a shout of death.

Varee:
[100] You are held by rage. This bastard knew everything. He had to. And you were going to get it out. He knew that you will. He tried resisting, but after  a minutes of pure pleasure, he spits it out. The judge that ordered your imprisonment will go on a trip to Sklone, a city that was around 10 hours ride from Trobin, the town you are currently in. You also found out when will the trip start, who will be assisting him, what will he look like. You found that along the uniform of a guard, a fine dagger, purse of 174 coins (a lot), a deed for the horse from the king's stables and a note. You also take the bottle of The Golden Ambrosia, the best drink in town. You are ready to pursue that man.
The man who took away your freedom.

[NRDL]

"Hmm...what the bloody hell was that...."

Check out the commotion.

[SaberToothTiger]

[84] You rush to the place you think you heard a shout. You see a mangled body, covered in blood and mud. You will have to hurry with your investigation, the rain is slowly removing all evidence. You notice the body is empty and seems to have an arrow or something sticking out of its' abdominal region.
