Topic: Future Mafia Games

[jrlibrarian]

I wouldn't mind having a second game start much sooner than later.

[Khushrenada]

Khush is just eager to start a new game because he hasn't actually played Mafia since the end of May.

Yeah, pretty much. I had my hits in about two hours and then just showed up at the end of Day 4 to seal the deal. Other than that, it was just talking with my mafia brethren.

I'm going to go with week. Let's start the next game so Toruresu can kill me and get it over with.

[Toruresu]

I also go with a week. This is just too much fun.

It really depends what roles we got, so

I say we bandwagon Mop it up on day one

I say we bandwagon you on day one for telling every single player that you were the cop and I was the killer on day two.

This! Also for not mentioning noname to me

[Mop it up]

Perhaps people shouldn't let past games affect who they target, in case the person holds a role which could be key to their victory?

Ah who am I kidding? That's no fun.

Hmm...seems like you already started playing the game, trying to save yourself.

If you guys do play next week, you'll have to count me out.  If it's the week after, I'm in.  I'd like to repeat my request that we try a no-PM game, with only mafia allowed to PM each other, and then only at night.  But if that's not going to happen, c'est la vie.

That's not going to happen.

Such is life.

I was considering trying that for my upcoming game, but it would seem you'd be the only one who'd sign up.

Well here is the problem with this idea.Since the mafia is the only one that can PM that makes it pretty easy to deduce who is Mafia.Also the Mafia have to be cordinated in their planning throughout the day.The only way where I could see this working is if the staff disabled "who's online" through out the game. Not really sure if this is possible.

Just hide your status. A lot of people already do this daily.

Stratos' post takes care of both of these objections.  Moreover, the forums I'm familiar with don't allow the mafia to communicate via PM during the day, only the night, which makes the game more challenging for the mafia as well, since the best laid plans can and will go to ruin, and the mafia has to work through that without being too obviously linked to each other. 

But it seems like Mop it up and possibly Stratos are the only ones interested in trying this, while Dasmos is strenuously opposed and you're skeptical, so unless more people show an interest I'll drop it.

[Stratos]

I'm willing to try most mafia ideas at least once or twice.

[Mop it up]

I think the issue people have with that rule is that there is no way to enforce it, so it would have to be done on the honour system. And I don't know if I'd trust people to follow that rule when the name of the game is lies and deception.

[BeautifulShy]

Any word on when sign ups start Dasmos?

[Dasmos]

I hate to fucking do this. My computer died. Badly. And I won't have stable computer access for the foreseeable future and won't be able to start my game for at least a month or so. Can the next in line start their game and I'll go next, or I can still do mine if you don't mind waiting?

I have two games ready, one a pretty straight forward affair and the other is a little more complicated and something a bit different. So it's not about being unprepared or anything.

I feel like such an asshole. I'm sorry.

[BeautifulShy]

I can wait for your game. What is the theme for your first game if you don't mind me asking?

[Stratos]

I could swap spots with you since I am next in line.

[Dasmos]

Well as I said I have two. One is Viewtiful Joe and one is Looney Tunes.

I could swap spots with you since I am next in line.

Well if you don't mind and if people don't want to wait this would be a huge help, mate. Thanks.

[Khushrenada]

No worries.

Since Stratos has come forward already and is willing to swap, I say we just do that and I'll move the list around. How long will it be for you to be up and running Stratos?

[Stratos]

Give me till next Tuesday/Wednesday to get everything finalized. But I'll post the sign-up thread now. I'm in the midst of my work week and it is crazy since I'm covering a lot of extra shifts. Tue/Wed is my weekend so I will have everything finalized by then.

How long should I run sign-ups? I was thinking two weeks and start 29th/30th.

I think I'll keep it fairly straight forward with a few twists since we've had several complicated games recently.

[BeautifulShy]

2 weeks is fine for me as far as signups go.
