Maybe I can rustle up all my nieces and nephews at the next family reunion and play an evening game using Mithalwen's plan. Has anybody else played it live instead of online?

I used to play a similar game as a kid:
One person was the murderer, and every time the lights went out the murderer would tap someone. That person then lay down on the floor so that everyone would see their horrible mangled corpse when the lights came back on. Everyone else would then have to try to find the murderer before the lights went out again.
Or something like that. There were no special roles, no lynchings, and not as much strategizing. You just had to keep voting till you voted for the real murderer. As I recall, the fun part was when the lights were out, waiting to see who would get it. I'm a little foggy on any other particulars--it was a long time ago--but I've often wondered whether Werewolf is a more sophisticated online adaptation of this game.
btw, regarding time: I'm at a very different longitude from everyone, so I'll make do with whatever time is chosen.
I may have to vote early, though, and catch up on the rest of the drama later on. Unless (which I doubt) there are enough people to have a game in which all of us are as far east as I am.
