I’ve played live-action Mafia (actually, Werewolf in my case, but it’s the same game), but not this one, I’ll check it out, thanks!

Hey Chris, you ever tried out epic mafia?

http://www.epicmafia.com

It’s a browser based game where you try and fool the town into thinking you’re town when you’re actually a mafia. Hard to explain, but it’s good!

We’re probably all racist on a unconscious level. At least that’s scientific findings point at.
I bet it’s far less likely for white people to play a black NPC, and vice versa, for black people to play a white NPC.
Unless of course you consciously choose to do so, knowing the general bias.

Political correctness be damned. He’s at a spy party, how do I know that he’s American?

[From The Venture Brothers]
Jefferson Twilight: Yes, I only hunt blaculas.
Guild Candidate: Oh, so you only hunt African-American vampires?
Twilight: No, sometimes I hunt British vampires. They don’t have “African Americans” in England!
Candidate: Oh yeah, huh, good point.
Twilight: So I hunt blaculas.
Candidate: I was just trying to be…
Twilight: Man, I specialize in hunting black vampires, I don’t know what the P.C. name for that is!

At the NYU test I was considering choosing the African American fellow with the hope that some kind of subconscious fear of racism might prevent my opponent from singling him out. I’m looking forward to the shot correctly/incorrectly metrics …

I’m sure that you don’t have the data, but in live play I wonder how much each spy player’s actual appearance correlates to whom they choose and to whom their sniper opponent suspects.
