Ahoy.
so this came about via a chat between skittles, myself and ga7 as we love the show. Ultimately we figured 2 of us could mod so at least 1 of us could play. As such, ga7 did see some ideas we were shooting out for a possible concept - however it's nothing that will affect the game should it go ahead.
I also figured we should get some feedback before we went too far ahead with planning anything, just in the event it never goes anywhere. In part because we wanted to try something a bit not-so-maf, and also because in my experience when you talk about Rupauls drag race people either love it or react with disgust XD No point in using a theme no one will touch, afterall.
We need to balance the concept so that it's still interesting to us, but still something people would want to play, so any feedback from you guys would be appreciated.
For example, to keep it still in line with mafia but also keep challenges, we could have a rotation where one day will be a regular lynch and the next is a challenge day where the winner controls the lynch.
On one hand this gives a single person a lot of power on these days, but on the other it could be interesting to see how people make new strategies to combat this - ie people trying to buddy up towards people they think will likely win challenges, or how tactful the challenge winner is with using their power. Alternatively, the winner can just become temporarily unkillilable for that particular day.
So, to start with.
1. Are people cool with the theme we want to use?
2. Are you cool with a weird setup-mechanic, or prefer to stick to standard mafia?
3. would you prefer a balls to the wall game, or to tame it down a bit?
As said, we'd prefer to gauge reactions now to see what direction we should head in, or if there's no interest we may as well drop it now instead of after the planning.

As Skittles said, you could have just said "I'm not interested in this particular theme, so no I won't be playing". Your reaction here seems almost defensive. No one here is going to touch you, so why bring it up? Generally one doesn't say "don't do X" unless you expect them to do X otherwise, so it seems to me you are saying that gay people will just put their hands all over you unless you tell them not to and force things on you; and that's just not true. You don't have to like the theme or want to play it, but don't treat it like it's offensive somehow. Being given a gay character role doesn't make you gay or imply you are being invited to a gay community, if that were the case then I must be a dude by now considering all the male roles I've had.
Everything confuses and enrages me! Raaaargh
