Another important update!
The rules and roles have been finished! The game is designed for ~18 players but can be reconfigured for different sizes if that's needed. Nonetheless, don't linger when the sign-ups start!
By signing up, you agree to ALL of the following rules. If you do not, I will sub you out or godkill you, and possibly invoke further punishment in the form of bans from forum mafia on Circus Maximus. So read it all carefully.
When the rules and the role PMs conflict, the role PMs take priority. For example, one rule says no deadtalking, but if your role PM says you are allowed to deadtalk, you are allowed to do so.
1. Common sense. You are assumed to play to win, and to let this game take priority over any friendships you have. I reserve full judgement over what common sense means.
2. No deadtalking. When you're dead, your voice will be removed, and you are not allowed to converse about the game with anyone who is playing. Whether you think what you said while dead mattered or not is irrelevant.
3. No copypasting any conversations with the host. You may copypaste your role PM, and you may obviously fake one.
4. No changing your nick when you're still playing. Otherwise keeping track becomes too annoying for the hosts.
5. Stay active while you're still playing. You will be subbed out and penalized later if you don't.
I may add more later.
Here's how the process will work.
Sign-Ups
At the designated time and date, the general discussion channel will be taken off invite, and the name will be revealed. The channel will have a user limit that allows 18 people to join it, excluding the hosts. These 18 will be given voice (+v). After this, the channel will open up for everyone willing to watch. If you did not make the cut, I recommend sticking around, as subs will be needed! If I need a sub, I will come to you, not vice versa.
After this, the roles will be randomized, and then the role PMs will be distributed over IRC query. Then the hosts will announce the game is ready, and we will start with Day 1. The exact roles, factions and priorities will not be revealed, but there will be material for the non-villagers to false claim.
Game Flow
At day, everyone has one (1) vote to cast. The person with the most votes against them is lynched. If two people have an equal amount of votes, neither dies. The day ends when majority (more than half of all the possible votes are on one person) is reached, or when the host ends the day for time reasons (this will be announced a few minutes beforehand)
Everyone votes in a separate channel, as to not clog up discussion and votes. Occasionally, the hosts will post a vote count for everyone's convenience. This vote count will assume everyone's vote counts as 1.
At night, villagers with a power role PM Mekkah (not CrabNebula) ON IRC with their night action. Non-villagers have separate instructions.
Communication is allowed everywhere in any way, in both day and night, except in the voting channel, which has to be kept clean for votes.
When someone dies, their role and alliance is announced, and their voice is removed.
The game ends when all factions but one have been eliminated.
Update!
I've pretty much decided on a time. Until further notice, the first game will start at 5:00 PM my time. This is equivalent to 3:00 PM UTC, making it morning for USA, and around midnight for Aussies. The date is Sunday, October 4th.
There are no pre sign-ups. I will announce a channel name at exactly this time, and the first x amount of people (depending on interest, it will be 15 or 20...I'm starting small) will be in.
CrabNebula has generously offered to help me hosting this time.

One day I had the idea of organizing some time to play #fluodome mafia with a lot of people at once. Others had this idea too. It's too bad that #fluodome mafia is pretty boring, and if you join it with 30 people you just end up with 20 villagers and possibly a lagging bot. Shiv talked about improving the bot someday with lots of different modes, but let's face reality, he's not going to do it until he has an extreme span of wide time again. So I thought of this.
One or two people think up a somewhat basic, though also slightly unpredictable game, and host it on IRC at a certain time. For example, Mekkah and jumpluff announce they will host Disney Mafia at 20:00 UTC on September 28th. Everyone interested in joining gets their ass on IRC at that time, a channel is made, and people join it. Then jumpluff and Mekkah proceed to PM everyone with roles and such, and the game plays out just like forum mafia, except in real time.
There's two options for the size: a set size of like 20 or 30, or make a game concept with some roles and then optional roles that are only in if you have enough players for it. A size limit is easier, especially if you play this for testing, plus it's easily enforcable through putting the channel on +l. It also makes life a lot easier when it comes to inactivity. Some people might have to drop out at some point, and it's easier to find subsitutes if not everyone who was interested joined.
