Cool. Link Please?
Do you know the origin of the WIFOM meme in a mafia context?- Adel

Do you remember what the name was for the game, or how many players it had, or what year it was in? Someone should wikify this stuff before it is totally forgotten. Mafia is a pretty dynamic game, and I could see it evolve for years until it emerges in a form that captures the global public's attention like chess or poker. Could you imagine if there were hundreds of thousands of players playing in tournaments around the world? OMGUS and WIFOM would probably still be terms in use, and some nerd like me might want to trace every step in the evolution of the idea of the OMGUS vote for the newsletter or specialty magazine.- Adel

The poker sites had way of keeping players from cheating too badly. Beyond randomizing the player names and assignment to games, a chat variant could move too quickly, or there could just be an effective gentleman's code, with money games being played either face to face or at one geographical location on a closed LAN.
People use bots on counterstrike, and chess computers for online chess games. Cheating happens in poker. Cheating sucks, but it happens in any competitive game. Even if you never cheated at Monopoly when you were younger, I bet you knew someone that did. Monopoly is a competitive sport on ESPN-8 at 4am on Tuesdays. Look, MTG was televised, Mafia could possibly be one day as well.- Adel

The games could be held in scumchat, with the actions of the game acted out by cartoons based on the players various avatars. Auto deadline the days to keep the game within 3.5 hours in length. - Adel
