This was floated around the mafiascum.net board back when I was still participating there:
Spectator Sport Mafia!
The game would take place in two sections: the Upper Deck and the Lower Deck. Players in the Lower Deck have votes and possibly powers. Players in the Upper Deck only have alignments (but not any other information) but are allowed to participate in their own thread that the Lower Deck can read and quote from.
That way the game would have built in subs - just pull a similarly-aligned player from the Upper Deck. (If an Upper Deck player drops out of the game, then they auto-lose or something.)
I'm also feeling kind of bastardly and want to make the Upper Deck players only win if they "live" at endgame (which means that there's some mechanic to kill the Upper Deck players, either by the Lower Deck, or the Upper Deck themselves), but they themselves don't count towards their alignment's win condition.
What do you guys think?

I like the idea of letting spectators in on it.
It could also be intriguing to have the spectators be involved in a game of their own - perhaps they pick players like horses, or make bets.
Or somehow they are like patrons/gods, and grant powers to the players they like. It could be a private forum, and particular players have to curry favor through mysterious means. Iliad mafia?

I swear I've suggested Greek/Roman mythology as a theme before, but I like the idea of the pantheon being able to bless and curse the field of mortal human gladiators, so to speak.

The pantheon could have a a currency of some kind. A Matron Goddess or a Patron God could spend that currency all on blessings for their Mortal, or perhaps split the currency between blessings and curses with which to sabotage other players, or they could be an agent of chaos and spent it all on curses and try to survive to the end by disrupting everyone else.

So this thread is old... but I'm back reading a lot.
As far as building in a mechanism that kills off the Upperdeck people. You could have the Upperdeck people be tied to Lower Deck people. Lets say you only have 10 Upperdeck but you have 20 Lower. Each UD is connected to 2 LDs. If both LDs die, the UD dies. If one of his LDs remain alive to end game, he wins.
