This is a great idea. It was a little mood breaking to type "Private The Enigma" or Lt. mookiemookie.

I like that part, would be cool, because then you have one more layer of deception...

I really like that idea. Kind of goes along with one of my ideas for the next game - NPCs with their own login and avatar. That way it'd do even more for "immersion" (barf) Of course if you were going to do both, you'd have to make it clear in the beginning who the actual players are so they don't get confused and vote for lynching poor Joe the NPC. If you said something before the game started along the lines of "Ok players, you may encounter NPCs. Their posts will be made in green text." This way you could create new characters on the fly, give your players a push towards some place you wanted them to see, and create a world that feels alive and big.

In my idea it should not be revealed who's using a game logon ID (only Neal knows this). That part remains secret until the game is over. That's what it makes even more attractive.

No, no one is being revealed at all until the game is over. Players are assigned their role - Enigma plays "Obergefreiter Hans Ullmann", Mookie plays "Sgt Thomas Jones" etc. Who is who is kept a secret until the game is over. But then in addition to the players playing the game, you also have other characters who are not players. "Townsman Joe the Drunk" or "Mayor Petr Kranz". What I'm saying is that you just have to be sure to let the players like Mookie and Enigma know in the beginning that Joe the Drunk and Petr Kranz are story characters only and not suspects for lynching.

That doesn't need to be a problem.
Neal could assign a moderator with sufficient forum rights to do the game setup.

Indeed, you can introduce such character then too. I guess, NPC = Non Playing Character.

I've just donated a few bucks to SubSim.
Another way to say thank you for the fun I had last week here at subsim.
