If all possible roles are public, does that mean that there could NOT be something like an Amnesiac, which can select between the other listed roles and remember that they are "just like them" for instance? That is something I was a bit suspicious about.

I am also confused about the following bit, from the OP:
So the DT would get a read that would say perhaps "Richard Johnson (Townie)" AND "Mike Hunt (Mafia Goon)" on the same target?
Or could it be that some of the characters are actually played by TWO people unknowingly, one which is town and the other which is a sinister killer? That would be quite the unexpected twist..

... Maybe I am not making any sense here, and I am sorry for dragging this out, but what I am saying is that Jeremy might have tried to do something very unique, and that two different people have been given the exact same character but with two different agendas. I shall attempt to make an example that actually makes sense:
Let's say that William Blore (Detective) is given to Mewmewmewm.
Then perhaps SuperPenguin is also given William Blore as his character, but he's actually William Blore (The Host, Mr Owen).
So perhaps they are the same person, but they wouldn't know about it. Think of it as schizophrenia. If one of them dies, then perhaps they both will die automatically, since they're technically the same person?
... I might be grasping at straws here, but it might add up. In the story in the OP, it's explained how all the characters are capable of murder in some shape or form and maybe that's the idea - That we could all be the murderer and we wouldn't even know.

I am also confused about the following bit, from the OP:
What makes this game unique is its small size and its especially small mafia team of two. Because of its size, I expect everyone to post a lot and I cannot allow people to sign up if they have a history of not posting in past games. I will be quicker to modkill or replace players if they are not posting. It is absolutely crucial to post in this game and I cannot tolerate inactivity. Even though PMs are allowed, please share information in the thread as much as possible to add to the public discussion.
Another unique facet of this game is that mafia will have town roles in addition to their mafia roles. And Then There Were None is about finding a killer among fellow guests on the island. Likewise, you will have to find mafia among fellow townies. The mafia team will receive actual green or blue roles, not just fake town claims. William Blore will see both roles, except when inspecting the godfather.
So the DT would get a read that would say perhaps "Richard Johnson (Townie)" AND "Mike Hunt (Mafia Goon)" on the same target?
