I present to you: Cannons Mini Mafia.
12 town, all VT
4 scummers, all Goon
Everyone has a cannon with 1 shot. There are no lynches and no dayphases, only 24-hour nights. You can do one of three night actions:
1. Load: adds another shot to your inventory
2. Fire: fires a shot (if you have one) at any target. Successful hit if target is firing or loading
3. Defend: Save yourself from any incoming cannon fire.
So everyone is simultaneously a vig and a medic.
At the end of each nightphase, the names of all players who fired are listed alongside the usual flips. Not who killed who, but simply a list of names who sent in the ##fire command. You are not notified if you are shot while ##defending.
I think there's an actual not-mafia game based on this mechanic but I forget what it's called and I'm a big fan of plagiarism anyway.
Couldn't mafia just defend forever until town gets bored? Or vice versa?

This is true.
What if there is a limited number of defenses? Like 5. Given that each night is 24 hours long it shouldn't stretch the game for too too long.

See I had thought defend only blocked 1kp which was why I had suggested targeting others. Maybe that'd suffice if it was only a 1kp block?

The problem with that is that you still end up in a deadlock during the endgame. Imagine a situation where only one scum is left. Everyone can just defend and force a draw since scum only has 1 KP to coordinate.

Okay but the current situation doesn't avoid that either.

Sorry, Really Small Mafia has begun!

The current situation is that the scummer only has to wait a maximum of five nights before he can kill someone. Probably less if it's late in the game. It's like starving people out and then reducing the game to a state where only he has the defends left.

Well you mean the "everybody has a set amount of defends" situation.
Maybe preferable would be "defending uses a loaded bullet" type idea?
Not sure. Mexican standoff was... interesting. I'm blaming the 3p role though.

Defending costing a bullet might be an interesting idea. It certainly would make people a lot more vulnerable.
I could go for either one right now.

Didn't expect the discussion to spread out as much as it did.
Anyways, reposting there for further discussion.

Please add [T]Catastrophe Mafia to the queue. GMarshal will be cohosting.

Wow Greymist, reusing names? Personality 2 Mafia was already labeled as Catastrophe Mafia by most of the players in it.

No Cora you don't understand
That was a mafia catastrophe
This is cat-astrophe mafia

What happens in Cat-astrophe mafia? A pack of wild Meowths randomly kill people in the game every 3 nights?
