Well, I'll join in.

Mafia!!!
*cough* Frankly, I don't see how posting the first name of each person's role will "prevent compulsive liars", since one letter can be twisted into many many different roles, and most baddies know to stick with the same story throughout unless they are incredibly stupid anyway.
In fact, you sure you aren't trying to use this as a guise to activate some role power or requirement, Matt? Like "Try to guess the first letter of the roles of 4 different players and you get a day-kill"?

Positive. I have seen this used in one game before - A really cool Mafia game in which people could do actions, like:
Action: Examine the dead person's body for any clues
Or:
Action: Ride naked on a motorcycle trying to pick up chicks (The dude that did that one 'fell of the cycle', broke his leg and couldn't do anything for a couple of days.)
This provied really interesting game play, turning it much more into a logic puzzle than a game of ranomndess like on our fourms. Still, I digress.
Anyways, Qanda, what harm is there in revealing the first letter of your role, unless you have something to hide? If you'd rather, we could say 3rd or 9th or last, or whatever. I just used first for simplicity's sake.

It's surprising how many baddies come up with roles that constantly change, and by doing it this early on in the game, they may forget their 'covers,' and they may also become a lot more paranoid, and watching. -shrugs-
