Have you even seen the movie "Groundhog Day"? So I'm think a game where every player has a unique wincon (some thing has to happen before they can win = before the Day don't start all over). So it Day 1 over and over again and the "dead" players will leave the game as they win. By the 5th Day 1 or so all remaining in the game lost and all others won.
Problem to begin with is most of the wincons should be something that generates discussion. It a players wincon favours staying low or even non-participating then they game could die a slow and painful death.
So I guess I could make a vote-system. Not for a player to be lynched, but for a player to be revealed or partial revealed at the End of the Day.

Watching the movie and writing down ideas for roles as I go along.
Phil - the weatherman Phil - the groundhog Larry - the guy with a camera and a home knitted sweather Rita - a really good producer Mrs. Lancaster - a nice lady that likes to chit-chat Ned Ryerson - the guy selling insurance - BING! Groundhog Official - a man with a funny hat talking to a large squirrel The man on the top of the stairs - a nice guy with only one line Doris - a friendly waitress Old man - a begger with no luck Ralph - a man in flannel shirts that had a little too much to drink Gus - Nancy Tailor - a young woman looking for love (but not that desperate, Larry!!) Felix - the bank guard with a not so bright look on his face Kids throwing snow-balls Buster Green - a man more concerned about the Groundhog Phil than the Human Phil (until saved from almost swallowing a cow) Mrs. Buster Green - a woman that kisses the man who saved her husband from almost swallowing a cow) Debbie Kleyser - a young woman in doubt if she wants to marry Fred - Debbie's fiance Bill - a waiter that's worked at the Diner for 3 and also gay The bartender - a guy seeing through the crap men feet women over a drink The piano teacher Jeopardy! viewers Boy in tree Flat tire ladies

And I just realized one of the best things about this theme. I don't have to write a new color each Day. It will all be copy/paste ;D

Ideas for wincons:
- get Player A or Player B to end a Day with most votes - get Player C or Player D to win the game (fulfill their wincon) - have the highest numbers of post of the Day without having the most votes the same Day - figure out who has the Role X and Y - have two Days with no votes - having most votes on any Day after Day 1 - having 7 different players (not including yourself) vote for you during the game
To make the game more fun I'm thinking that all wincons will be posted in the rules and set-up-thread. But bleached so no actually names will be posted. Just a list of "these wincons might be in the game. There will be no wincon in the game not on this list. However there might be wincons on the list not actually in the game".

When a player has the most votes of the Day their name will be revealed. The second time they get the most votes their wincon will be revealed. The third time they lose the game and cannot win with the rest.
12 players to begin with. Game will last for 7 Day Ones. Each Day lasting a week. No Nights.

Rita - a really good producer figure out who is Phil the weatherman AND Phil the groundhog
Mrs. Lancaster - a nice lady that likes to chit-chat have the highest numbers of post of the Day without having the most votes the same Day
Ned Ryerson - the guy selling insurance - BING! having most votes on any Day after Day 1
Groundhog Official - a man with a funny hat talking to a large squirrel Wins when Phil the Groundhog fulfill his wincon
The man on the top of the stairs - a nice guy with only one line have two Days with no votes
Doris - a friendly waitress ends a Day without having voted or being voted for
Old man - a begger with no luck if he can guess who ends the Day with the most votes. Has to submit the guess before Day begins
Ralph - a man in flannel shirts that had a little too much to drink have the highest numbers of post of the Day without having the most votes the same Day
Gus - a man in flannel shirts that seems to have had one too many to drink have the highest numbers of post of the Day without having the most votes the same Day

Felix - the bank guard with a not so bright look on his face having 7 different players (not including yourself) vote for you during the game
Buster Green - a man more concerned about the Groundhog Phil than the Human Phil (until saved from almost swallowing a cow) get either Phil the Groundhog or Phil the weatherman fulfilling their wincon
Mrs. Buster Green - a woman that kisses the man who saved her husband from almost swallowing a cow) figure out who has the Role of Buster Green and Doris

One of the things I'd suggest is change around win conditions a bit so some are mutually exclusive.
Also, for a bit of sadistic glee, whoever gets the man atop the stairs bit should only be allowed to post once per day.
Actually - that'd be something else I'd say to add. Posting requirements for all or sum of the players. Like make it so the Groundhog will have to express himself in jesters or something. Like...
"Paranoia points at mr. ed all excited. He scribbles this message out on a blackboard. -
'I THINK MR. ED IS EVIL.'
he then scribbles in blue chalk:
'Vote: Mr. Ed'"
I also think there should be some sort of scum group of sorts - one that if it fulfils it's win con that no one else can fulfilll theirs - this doesn't apply retroactively though. Obviously these 2 or 3 people wouldn't have a night hit, but they'd have the power to work together. I'm just not sure how hard/easy such a wincon that'd screw everyone else over should be.

Though overall, I like it. It'll be fun - the entire problem is how to do things.

OH AND ONE LAST THING: Whoever the begger dude is needs to die near the end of day. <_< That's brilliant!! So he has to move to the top of the vote count within 48 hours of the deadline - and then he wins. The extra fun part is that it will surprise all, that the player with most votes actually wins What if we worked the "scum" team into a mason-kind of group? We could have 3 and they would each know one: A knows B, B knows C and C knows A. The wincon would be for them to find each other AND to achieve one or two of their individual wincons.

I think that'd work - I think their win con should include all people in the group who can (i.e. haven't been smacked over the head with the most votes for three day 1s in a row) have to fulfil their win con in order for the group to win - meaning they should consider either trying to keep the entire group in the game and trying the safe path of winning as a whole or go the more dangerous (but potentially easier) route of trying to boot one or two out of the group first.

So each Scum-member will be informed of
Their own unique wincon: have the highest numbers of post of the Day without having the most votes the same Day
The identity of another Scum: You also know that "Felix - the bank guard with a not so bright look on his face" is fellow Scum and he knows the identity of the last Scum in the game (who has been informed that you're Scum
You can either win this game when all Scum have won (fulfilled their unique wincons) or if the 3 of you fulfill the Scum-wincon: You must identify the names of more the 50% of the living non-scum players in the game. However you must do so before Day 6 where the game will end.
