Animal Kingdom Mafia

The king of the jungle has been killed in mysterious fashion! Will the culprits be caught? Or do we have a revolution on our hands?

Flavor: Each player will be one of a random assortment of animals from a wide variety of locations around the world.

Players: The more the merrier! Hopefully at least 9.

Game description: This as closed setup with a Town and a single Mafia team. All roles will be simple/standard mafia roles, including a number of vanilla roles. No complicated mechanics, independent roles, or anything like that. I want this to be as newbie friendly as possible. If you've never played before and are interested in trying mafia, please sign up! If you are an experienced player, you are also of course welcome to play.

Timelines and activity: Day phases will be 5 days, nights will be 2 days. Players are expected to post 3 content posts per 48 hours and at least 1 content post in the final 24 hours of the Day. If you are unable to do so for any reason, please message me as soon as possible to let me know. If you have not posted at least one content post within a 48 hour period, and have not contacted me, I will consider you to have abandoned the game and begin seeking a replacement. A content post must include some game relevant information--a post that says "Can't post now, will be back later" is not sufficient. You may wish to have a look at our previous games to get a sense of what it is like. Mafia is a non-trivial time commitment.

Start date: When enough players have signed up. Tentatively aiming for March 3rd start date.
