The Mafia Discussion Thread

It seems like there are enough people on a potential waitlist that I would like to add my name to it with a RuPaul's Drag Race Mafia.

[Red Devil-Taker316]

I mentioned this a while back, but if there is going to be an official list, there needs to be some rules about what happens if your game doesn't fill up. One of the things that killed mafia way back was when there would be this long list and people would post sign-ups of their games that wouldn't get close to filled and it would delay the process. If your game doesn't fill by a certain time period, it should be discarded and the next one should begin.

I'd prefer a vote of some sort to a waiting list for that reason. That way people can play games they actually want to play sooner.

[Azazel]

So like we could take the 3-4 people who have game ideas after Hitman and let everyone decide what they would want to play first?

[LittleDaniel]

I feel like that could lead to some people being excluded because they don't ever get enough votes (the theme doesn't appeal to as many people, the poster is fairly new, etc).  

And if not enough people are signing up for a game, we should be trying to get them to run the smaller games.  Not everything has to be these bigger games that go on forever, you know?

I say that while currently working on a big game, so, you know, I'm fucking hypocritical.

[Cymbols]

Perhaps some kind of happy medium, like, poll to decide running order, but if you've been in say, three polls unsuccessfully, you get to go next anyways. Gives the runner the chance to maybe shrink it to correlate with the presumed lack of interest (though it could simply be people just preferring the other choices rather than outright distaste, or even someone like me who doesn't really give a shit about flavour and just plays for the lols).

[LittleDaniel]

Mafia is serious business, Cymbols.  People die and shit.

[Cymbols]

Apparently it is serious business! I've noticed a that the more real life stuff I gotta do, the more engaged I end up being in mafia games...

[Pizza]

Maybe alternate it, so the next game after Westworld is first on the list,  then after that the poll, then first on the list again.

[TEOL]

So I've been sent a message by @Thingyman who runs his own Mafia forum asking if we want to take part in a cross community Mafia tournament of some kind? Basically as I understand it, we'd have to pick a player to be our representative who would then play in a series of Mafia games against representatives from other Mafia playing forums. Anyone wants to volunteer to be our representative or has any ideas as to how we should pick one, let me know, and if you have any questions post them here and I'm sure Thingyman will help.

Honestly, you should do it.

Truth.

[HarshMillennium]

Seems obvious. A board-wide mafia game!

[Kyle]

I think we should send @Cymbols, see if him dying night one is an EWB thing or not.

I don't mind throwing my name in the hat if that's what people want. The requirements are that whoever it is be chosen by the members of the community and be willing to be active in the games (i.e. not lurking). And we'd need an alternate.

I believe the deadline for entering is in like a week or so, I doubt we could get through a big ass Mafia game that quickly. We barely get through small ass games that quickly.

[Josh]

You'll be active and you've got the experience and skill.

As for an alternate: I don't how he's done lately, but maybe Cloudy? He did fairly well in the first couple of games of the recent Mafia resurgence.

I'm far too confrontational for that to be a good idea. 

TEOL, C-Mil, MCD, RPS, Marcos are names I'd throw in as good (and active) players. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

I'd second TEOL.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Agreed. TEOL is the best choice.

[Ruki]

What about @Pizza or @Sousa as alternates? Not super active around here lately, BUT! They have the skills that pay the bills.
