The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer Mafia

[Sousa]

So given that C-MIL's Mafia minigame was pretty successful, I thought it'd be fun to try something similar with a more oddball slant. And since there aren't nearly enough Mafia games based on obscure (and canceled after a scant 4 episodes) UPN sitcoms set in the Civil War, there's a definite need.

Let's fill that need.

THE MAFIA!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

So what is The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer? Well, here's the Wikipedia article on the show, and there's not really much else to say. A poorly conceived sitcom set in the Civil War, the show followed the adventures of Desmond Pfeiffer (the P is not silent) as he serves as the voice of reason during the absolutely wacky-tacular Lincoln administration.

Wait, didn't I see this in... Yes, the show was used as a joke in the unaired pilot episode of the Clerks cartoon. I bet you didn't know it was a real show, did you? Oh my yes.

Do I need to have seen every episode to know what's going on? Of course not. There were like four episodes anyway. And if "goofy, terrible sexpot sitcom set in the Lincoln White House" isn't a good enough description for you, I've managed to track down a guy who's posted an episode on YouTube. It involves Lincoln and cyber sex over the telegraph and also lots of sexual frustration.

So wait a minute... you're getting a full game out of this show? Well, not really. There weren't enough episodes to put together a full ensemble, and I haven't seen enough of them to put together a full-sized cast. However, rest assured that the rest of the roles will be filled by ol' Abe and Desmond's Civil War-era friends and foes. Think of this game as a new episode of the show--a new, criminally unfunny episode of this phenomenally stupid show that you'll no doubt regret your involvement in.

How racist will this game be? I dunno. Pretty racist. But no more racist than BET. If you think you might get offended, don't join, but the most harm that's going to be done is reinventing historical figures to appeal to a UPN audience. Hell, that offends me, too.

So... you actually expect people to play? We'll see, won't we?

Twelve spots available. At most, I'd add two more, but I don't really want to.

[Pleatherface]

In. Had no idea this was an actual show.

[GoGo Yubari]

... yeah there's no way I can not be in this.

EDIT: ... hahahaha oh my god that IS Chi McBride, oh Chi McBride you'll be in anything won't you.

EDIT II: Holy shit this show is amazing. I have never seen a sitcom abuse the laugh track like this.

EDIT III: "Executive BRANCH." And by "branch" she means "penis" oh man.

EDIT IV: ... is Abraham Lincoln Canadian now or something?

EDIT V: Holy shit, Confederate Soldier With Glasses On, how did you not win an Emmy for this. Is there an award for delivering your lines directly into the camera whilst not changing your facial expression in the slightest?

EDIT VI: Holy shit the Mission Impossible theme as played by an incompetent jug band.

EDIT VII: .... when "I'm a whore." is the funniest punchline in the entire show you know your program has serious problems.

EDIT: How in the hell did "Shove it up your stove pipe, Abe!" not become America's favorite catchphrase sensation?

[Bigal]

Why not?

And when I saw the topic on the main page I thought it said "Desmond Tutu". You disappoint me

[Pesci]

Pfft, of course I'm in.

[TheRossWalker]

After reading the Wiki page, there's no way I can't be in.

[DMN in the House]

I don't care if I missed out. If I'm not in, you're off the Christmas card list.

[Mr Evil Guy]

In. I'm pretty sure there's still enough room.

[Huss Delgado]

I've got to get in this.

[Sousa]

That's ten filled. Two more to go.

[StevenRichardsRules]

Me me me!

[LittleDaniel]

Woot! Made it in time! Figured for sure I would be shut out.

[Sousa]

And that's twelve.

Role PMs and thread should all be out and up later tonight.

[Sousa]

Game thread.

If you haven't gotten your role PM, let me know.

[Sousa]

Ey yo.

I may need a replacement for buck44 if he doesn't post in the next day/night cycle. Anyone want in?

[GoGo Yubari]

*Raises hand *

[Sousa]

If nobody else volunteers, it's yours.

[TheRossWalker]

Is it wrong that I'm more frustrated with this game now I'm eliminated than when I was still alive?
