I think "Clever Girl" should be the name of the Godfather.
I like this idea. I'm implementing it. Good suggestion.
Holy cow! I do a quick check of the forums and suddenly participation has skyrocketed again. Awesome. Thanks all for that. Just two more and we've got that magic number of 16 that I find makes for a good game.
Also, role-playing like Jeff Goldblum jokes is always encouraged. Glad to see enthusiasm growing.
Shaymin - Thanks for the mention. In days past, I'd talk with Pale and Crimm about posting a notice on the front page of the site about it. Community Managers thought it might be a good idea but it never happened. Even with the Mafia Forum, the idea was that maybe we could change the bottom title to announce if there was a new game beginning and sign-ups were available, much like how you can change the funhouse name. But again that never happened. So, thank you so much for trying to help get the word out like that.
I've sent a few invites to people and I guess I could send a few more yet and hope people check in on time. But I did have one question I've been thinking about and want to ask you players. This Thursday is Halloween so it may be that a lot of you will have plans and want to spend you time elsewhere on that day. If so, I could suspend the game for a day but it might be kind of herky jerky stopping it then and then again on the weekend. The other option is that I wait another week and start the game Nov. 5th. Since you are the ones willing to make the time commitment for the game, I thought it best I ask you what you prefer?
Start this Monday or start Nov. 5. I'll go with the majority vote.
