Is who's on what team public knowledge?

No, but you can colour reveal to players to show them your team.

We have enough interested people that we can probably actually make this happen. I'm tempted to say, let's mostly follow the format they use on BGG for PBF, which would basically mean:
1 day rounds (we could make this 2 days if 1 day seems too short)
One QT per room. Players aren't allowed to access the QT of the room they aren't in.
You are allowed to whisper/PM other players, but it's limited to 5 times per round, and 100 characters per whisper, and you must post in the QT that you were whispering (everyone can see this happening, after all!)
You post requests to Co-reveal or Colour reveal in the QT. If the other person accepts the two of you must do the relevant reveal.
You must post in the thread if you are privately revealing to someone, then you just do it.

Regarding moderation, it'd be awesome if you could step in. Depending on how much you're willing to do, the minimum would be just sending out roles, and we can organise the rooms easily enough, but if you wanted to do the rooms each day and enforce deadlines, that'd be even better.

Responsibilities:

Moderator:
Sign ups
Send out Roles
Send Out Colours
Assign Rooms randomly
Create QT for rooms. Delete rooms at the end of the day.
Solve disputes


Players:
Maintain deadlines.
Maintain rules
Do leadership Checks
Create QT for rooms. Delete rooms at the end of the day.


So after creation i would only need to log on at a specific time of the day to resend out PMs containing the room QT's and delete the old ones. This will have to be either 12-1pm or 7pm onwards (All GMT) for me. But players can quite easily sort out the new QT's themselves thinking about

I think 3 days per day might work, because that will give people who cannot log on for a day a good couple of days to discuss things.

I'll post a sign up thread later today

[Jimmmmm]

Wait, do we really have to delete rooms? Can't we keep them so we can peruse them after the game?

[Ozle]

Hmm, well, i would have thought deleting the rooms would be the way to go, so you cannot link back refer to what people have said like a real game.

But isnt vital I suppose!

Can you do that in real life mafia?

Also, while I didn't read the whole rulebook, couldn't you make the first day five days, the next four, etc. like the original game says?

Yeah, I guess we'll have to adapt it to forum style like mafia is adapted.

Whats real life mafia got to do with it, this isnt that game, this is this game. Meh, i dont really mind either way, was just suggesting a way to make it truer to the rules.

And the rulebook says minutes, i dont think 5,4,3 days is equal in proportion to 5,4,3 minutes.  But again, i dont really mind, im not that invested in it, someone make a call and ill post a start up thread

[sudgy]

Also, the QTs could be PMed to people by the mod.  That way we don't have to worry about people cheating.

[Grujah]

in.

[liopoil]

that's 12! who's modding, tables? are we playing with any of the special roles? let's get this started!

(all my mafia games finished and the two that I signed up for aren't starting so this is the closest thing I have)

[Archetype]

/in! Sounds fun!

[Tables]

Ozle has volunteered to mod (I want to play, basically ).

For roles, I was thinking we probably don't just want the basic set, but we also don't want the game to be incomprehensible role madness. So something like... maybe just The Standard (Bomb/Pres, Daughter/Martyr, Doctor/Engineer, Nurse/Tinkerer, remainder R/Bs & a bury card), perhaps that with r/b Spy as well, just to make things a little more spiced up.

I'd say lets leave it up to Ozle, but who knows what kind of madness we'd end up with then .

[Jimmmmm]

Will the roles and what they do be public knowledge?

[liopoil]

well, what they do is all online in the link in the OP, and I hope we get to know what roles there will be... at least for the first game.

[eHalcyon]

Will the roles and what they do be public knowledge?

My understanding is that, yes, the possible roles are all public EXCEPT in cases where a card is "buried".  A buried card is required for some roles and prohibited for others, though there is some magic shuffling they describe that lets you account for both.

[Qvist]

So, is this the signup thread or the new one? I think I'm /in too. I'd like to try this out. Seems fun. So we basically exchange minutes with days for the deadlines, right?

[Ozle]

Started a proper sign up thread. thinks its simpler than wading through this, which is more of a discussion about the game half the time.
