lolmonade you do need to vote once every 3 days or you will be kicked from the game but if you are a very quick reader and can figure out things real quick in the day threads then I suppose that is possible. Basically if you can read between the lines and see allegiances within the threads and any PMs you get then it is possible to speed play the game.

Sometimes someone will post in the day threads will be nice enough and post the goings of the past day and any evidence that the town has come up with and that will help digest things nicely for everyone.

Sounds neat. Any space left on the game? If so, I wouldn't mind dipping my toes in the water.

What, did Broodwars decide to hide in his fallout shelter until 2016? Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but I don't recall seeing his username around lately.

Right now, he's busy editing Nintendo Free Radio.

I'll get in on this as well.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #28 on:** November 26, 2012, 07:22:59 PM »

Ah, the Greg Leahy Effect. Well, it was nice knowing him.

Ideally, you'd want to have time to read all the posts in the daily threads and respond to any PMs (especially if you're Mafia), so that you can try to read people and figure out what they are up to. But the only real participation needed is the daily voting, which can always just be a guess if you can't/haven't checked anything else out.

Sure, I'll give it a whirl. What the hay.
Need rules tho, eventually.

Stratos · « **Reply #33 on:** November 27, 2012, 03:29:15 PM »

Am I too late? I won't have the time to be a major player, but I'll give it a shot.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #34 on:** November 27, 2012, 03:37:39 PM »

After a lot of hassle with the formatting, I managed to plagiarize Khush's rules post from his last game and add it to the rules here, which are in the second post in this thread. If you're new to Mafia, you should give that a read and it will explain the basics of the game.

EDIT: And no, Stratos, you're not too late. Signups are open through Saturday, so if you haven't signed up yet you've still got time.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #35 on:** November 27, 2012, 05:16:46 PM »

Cool we have 20 people now we can do the regular game. Now if we get 25 people we can add in the bomber role otherwise we are just having the killer role. Still have a few days to get the five people but if we don't get them that's fine too.

That's fine. I seem to recall plagurizing that from a post of Pyropizm's so way to pay it forward.

I'll play

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #39 on:** November 30, 2012, 08:49:15 AM »

Cool 22 people. By my math it should work out like this for the roles as it stands now. 4 Mafia, 1 other role,5 townie roles and 12 normal townies.

Still some time to get more people.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #40 on:** November 30, 2012, 04:51:25 PM »

Personally, I think you should add one more mafia member and make it a gang of 5. It's generally best to keep the mafia around 25% of the players playing especially if we have a killer role now. As it stands, if the mafia doesn't lose a single member and eliminates the killer, it would take them 7 game days to achieve a tie with the remaining townies and win. That's a pretty tall order. Most likely they will lose a member within that time further setting back a win date and the longer a game goes on, the less and less chance the mafia has at winning. However, I am basing this math off the killer not making any hits but the killer is a wildcard and could also end up hitting mafia members so you never know which way the killer will influence the game.

Even with a 5 member mafia, it would take them 6 days to achieve victory without losing a member. However, with a killer and a possible bomber to take out other players, that date could move up or fall back. But even with a lose of a couple members before Day 6, the mafia could still be in good shape than a 4 man mafia losing 2 members before Day 6 and keep the game competative.

That's my thinking on the matter anyways.

I do see your point Khushrenada but as far as I know there is only 4 current hosts to RFN so that limits the choices. I guess we can look at the numbers at the end of the sign ups and balance it and add a goon or a past RFN host to the numbers and see what we have there. I myself have not really listened to much RFN so maybe people can chime in here on any possible choices and see if we can add one in.

Shaymin · « **Reply #42 on:** November 30, 2012, 06:39:03 PM »

You have Nate, TYP, and another person who's appeared on RFN has already signed up for the game...

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #43 on:** November 30, 2012, 07:03:03 PM »

There are a number of ways we could take it. I'll think about it, because Khush raises a good point.

You know what would be good if Pale was in this game now as a player since thatguy signed up. Welcome back thatguy!

For the record, if I win, you all have to give me a ton of karma.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #48 on:** December 01, 2012, 09:35:08 PM »

I'm going to finalize things and send out the roles in a few hours, so if you haven't signed up and still want to, do so quickly.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #49 on:** December 02, 2012, 01:59:16 AM »

23 people signed up with 1 hour left in sign ups.

Sign ups are closed for the game. Insanolord will send out roles most likely in the morning. Also Insanolord if you can move this thread over to the Mafia forum when you do your threads that will help some of the new players.

Going with a 5 person Mafia with the 5th person being a goon for those curious.
