"As Amir began to create a scenario with 2 players (including the GM) he than realized that it could not be done but still he still wanted to make a Narrator post for the thread."

Umm, the rules kinda vary a little bit, based on who is running it. (MJM, can you put on the OP some of the rules that are more specific to this game?)
I'll try to give you some general rules. The game is split into two phases: Day/Night
During the day, the players vote on who they want killed. The goal is to attempt to kill all the mafia (Or in the case of Naruto themed games, Rogue Ninja/Akatsuki)
During the night, the unknown mafia decide on who to kill, which is revealed when the next day phase start.
Now some games are styled in which every role has at least one special power. In other games, there's a few special roles and a bunch of regular villagers/mafia with no special powers.
Common role powers are: the ability to prevent someone from being killed by votes during the day, the ability to find out a person's role at night, the ability to protect someone from being killed by the mafia, and in the case of the mafia, the ability to show up as a regular villager when investigated

Sounds simplistic enough. I'm in.

[MJM]

We'll need ten times the number of players we currently have to play. I mean, realistically, we could do it with 20 or 30 but the more the merrier, this time the saying is literal.

Here are examples of past successful games. A few of them are to the Recruitment threads to show you how it works.

Mafia I: Leaf Village

Mafia II: Leaf Village

Mafia III: Mist Village

Mafia IV: Stone Village

Mafia V: Cloud Village

Mafia VI: Sound Village

Mafia VII: Rain Village

So this would be Mafia VIII. There was an attempt at an eight installment by someone but the roles were too strong. We have the five major nations completed in addition to the Sound and the Rain. This one could be the Cloud Village or The 4th Ninja War. The latter seems more fun. I'll create/modify roles for the latter soon.

If history is a precursor to anything than this game will end catastrophically. I will be here for the ride. It seems fun. I do love all the odd roles.
