my participation is usually dependent on the game not being stopped for several days at a time, when the game was back on I didn't even get a pm that it was. By chance I just happened to look at it. Also, I think the storyline is important. If your going to skip the Storyline than skip the theme. My first mafia was ran by Khush(f-zero) and it was fucking amazing. The punchout one too was pretty good. I know, i know I won those two, but that isn't why I enjoyed them. Honestly, my participation was limited in the punchout mafia mainly because of circumstance, but somewhat strategically too. I had all the time in the world on this one, but the power rangers had lame ass powers. I couldn't find anything constructive to do with them. Bulk and skull made it so we could never form a townie alliance with only 3 rangers. The fact that there we could create a triumvirate block against monsters meant they would never be effective unless there were two monsters. I think this game could have been a lot better though if there had been more players, it was scaled back significantly from what would have been a pretty good deal to accommodate for the lack of sign-ups.
