Guess you're waiting for an update, eh? Well here it is, and I'm sure you're not going to be happy.

My computer? I have no idea what's going on with it. After promising it'll "be in next week" or "or we'll ring you in a couple of days when it gets in", my computer store had fucked me off enough for me to go in. I went in yesterday, "oh, Evan has been dealing with you. He's not in until tomorrow, come in then and he'll ring the workshop." I went in again today, about midday, there was no open sign, a man working on the security gate and it looked like they were taking down the main store sign. I asked the guy who was working on the gate if the store was open, "Na, mate. It closed down, try ringin' head office."

I went home and did just that, supposedly the company went bust. Forced liquidation, so the people I saw were chnaging all the locks and gates so former employees couldn't get back in. None of the workers had any prior notice and the woman I talked to couldn't tell me the status of my computer apart from "I'm sure they'll get in contact with you..."

tl;dr version. computer company bankrupt. dasmos out a $1700 computer. i can't host mafia.

So smite me, insult me, do what you want. You think you're pissed? I'm out $1700.

I'm sorry, Dasmos.  No doubt about it; that sucks that at least you couldn't get the machine back.  I hope that you find a way to get it or at least get some compensation for the lost property...

No problem Dasmos. It sounds like a pretty bad situation to be in. No smiting from me.

Normally, I'd check about juggling things around. I won't bother in this case. I'm just going to step into Dasmos place and get the next game rolling. The joint hosted game by Thatguy and myself isn't ready to go. We'll have to start seriously finalizing things in the next few weeks. So, I'll just host this game myself and get this wait over with.

Well it isn't like you had control of the company going under. Eh no worries Dasmos about the game.
Maxi is dead. I killed him and took his posts and changed genders.

I feel for you Dasmos. Something similar happened to my sister, she took a laptop to be repaired by some independent shop. After several delays they eventually closed down, with no sign of the laptop. After a while they eventually compensated for all their lost computers, I forget the amount she got but it was slightly less than what the computer was worth.

For those who are interested in hosting a future mafia game, I will be opening up spots #51-55 once Game #48 is finished and the winners declared. So, make a note of it and get ready for that time.

Does GP even still intend to host a game? I know she's pretty busy at the moment.

I'm just putting this out there, but my game is basically ready, so I can step in if one of the next couple of hosts can't make it.

We're working on forming the rules and roles in ours.  Every time one of us gets a big chunk of spare time to talk, the other has been busy.  It's definitely coming underway and sign-ups will soon be posted, though we might wait until after Christmas, just because everyone tends to be busy at the holidays.

I was about to ask the same thing. I was sad that all of November went by without a game, but oh well, at least it'll be nice to start the new year with one.

I came up with a concept for a Mafia game last night; after checking the hall of fame it turns out it's sort of been done before, but 3 years ago, and things have dramatically changed since then. I'll need someone more familiar with hosting and such to help me flesh it out and pull it off if you know what I'm saying. Anyone with such experience who is interested in helping, PM me.

thatguy and Khushrenada. When you last posted I sent Khushrenada a Wii mail but haven't heard back from him. He was last on in the begining of December. Gonna go bug thatguy now.
Maxi is dead. I killed him and took his posts and changed genders.

Don't bug me about it.  Again, I'm waiting for Khush.  He hasn't signed on since about a week before Christmas or so.

I don't know his email. If you know it, you could send him one.  Alternatively, we could pass over our game and onto the next host for when he shows back up.
