Topic: Mafia LVIX: Jurassic Park! Sign-ups are closed.

Count me in.

And yeah, may want to try advertising this game...

I hope adding a mention of the signups into the latest NFR helped.

[pokepal148]

Someone requested I show up and join in. I will. A word of warning, though, I start a new job next Wednesday, so there's no telling what that might mean.

I wanted to be one of the "Clever Girl" Velociraptors, but that might conflict with the mafia. Still... I might be that.

Welcome back, although I barely know you.

[Spak-Spang]

I think "Clever Girl" should be the name of the Godfather.

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.

[jrlibrarian]

Oh hey, I remember  these. I just found all the old Blackest Night and Flashpoint comics I won from previous games. I'm in.

[Silenced]

Let's do this ****.

[Stratos]

I say start Nov. 5th to avoid a Halloween stall.

[Spak-Spang]

I agree with Statos Except I say Monday the 4th. 

Also, I am playing around with the concept of Korea Mafia.  Instead of a story you just get an insanely cute or insanely annoying Korean Music video before the results.  Starting with Crayon Pop Bar, Bar, Bar.

[Stratos]

What about a "Most fanatic fan" mafia where everyone is a crazy Korean Starcraft role-playing fanatic.

[Spak-Spang]

I can't type enough shortcut keys to host that game.

[Mop it up]

If it means more players, then let's wait.

[Spak-Spang]

I think we should do like the old days and post a front page story on the game starting up. 

[Oblivion]

I'm an hour late but can I join?


EDIT: Oh wait you guys allow the ridiculous "outside-of-thread" Mafia rules don't you?

[Stratos]

How about a 'most fanatical fanatic' mafia? Would be great for roleplaying and everyone could play as their most despised (or belvoved) fanatic. I could host that if people are down with another game after this. I'd hate to see the NWR mafia games die.

When did this happen?

If it means more players, then let's wait.

I'm happy with the turnout as is but I am going to wait until Nov. 4. With all the games that have come out and the Halloween holiday, I think it might be smarter to wait one more week. We've waited this long, what's another week right?

I'm an hour late but can I join?

You're still welcome to join but you usually just seem to complain about how we play the game. Yes, we allow communication among all players. I do invite you to take advantage of this difference in gameplay as I find it much rewarding than the other style but everyone has their own tastes. Let me know if you still want to be in.

You're welcome to post in the future mafia game thread and try for a game after this. I have no idea at this point what the interest level is anymore and was thinking this could be the last game for this site but maybe with it actually happening again and having had such a long break between games people's enthusiasm for it is back.

[Oblivion]

I guess I'll give it another shot. If I don't like it this time around I'll probably just quit after this game.

[Spak-Spang]

It only happened once or twice.  But during sign up there was a quick community story that said...hey this is happening if you want to play.

I kinda like the Random FanFic Mafia murder Mystery.  Each player would have to write a fanfic for their favorite series when they vote.  The fan fics would blend together into scary surreal nonsense, and then the host would just combine quotes from people to try to make a somewhat sane story.

Ok. Added!

[Dasmos]

I only just got your PM then Khush, and it seems I've missed the deadline which is a pity.

[Spak-Spang]

Dasmos:  I am sure you can still get in.  After all, the game won't start until next week.

[Khushrenada]

Yeah, sign-ups are still open so if you want in, you've got until Sunday Nov. 3.

[Mop it up]

Hooray! So now we have enough for all the roles, right?

[Khushrenada]

Yes. In fact, I'll probably add a doctor role at this point.

[pokepal148]

jeff goldbloom (doctor): his uh a-acting ahh is so uh bad that when uh he is around someone who is uh targeted by the m-mafia or uh killer uh his acting uh catches them uh off guard and they uhh run a-away, also uh checkmate

[Silenced]

I claim the role of Steven Spielberg.
