The Game of Nations: A Civilization Mafia Sign-Ups/OOC Thread

[Sousa]

A Sousa-run Mafia? What the hell?

Yes, it's true. I've seen you guys slacking off in games in the Mafia Cube lately. Don't make me regret starting this game.

Sousa-Type Rules:

1. If you plan on needing replaced, don't bother signing up.

2. If you plan on being inactive, don't bother signing up.

3. Seriously, rules 1 and 2.

Game-Related FAQ, By Which I Mean Questions Nobody Has Actually Asked Yet:

What is the basis of this game?

I'll be drawing the roles from the 52 leaders in Sid Meier's Civilization IV and its two expansion packs. I don't own Civ V, so I won't be using it.

But I've never played that game!

This game will be, by all accounts, a Famous World Leaders From All Kinds Of Different Places Mafia. Roles will not necessarily be tied to any kind of in-game ability and may be tied to the leader's real-world history or the mythology surrounding said leader. Scum roles have also been determined randomly, and all players' names and nations will be revealed in the game thread. So if you're, say, Isabella of Spain, everyone will know you're Isabella of Spain; what they won't know is your ability and your alignment.

So does this mean I can roleplay as Isabella like I've always wanted to?

Sure, Ruki, by all means roleplay as Isabella.

This game sounds suckish.

Why didn't you ask a question just then?

Wait, you're asking me questions now!

Aren't I, though?

Stop it!

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

[Ruki]

Roleplay as Isabella of Spain?

*is a bitch to EVERYONE*

But I am in.

[Mick]

Whatever ruler I represent says Yay. Also, I'm willing to trade horses for Broadway hits. Any takers?

Except people who share one of the 82 religions you founded this game!

Can I be Montezuma? Then I can vote for everyone without any reason!

[Sousa]

All right, Ruki's Montezuma then.

[Ace]

A Sousa Run Mafia?

In Please

[C-MIL]

I'll play if it stays small. I'd rather sub-out for a Civilianhead than play in a 20+ player thing.

Other demands: I want to be Lincoln or Gandhi and have whoever gets the other role gimmickpost as if we are high school BFFs.

No.

BDFs.

[Sousa]

All right, Chester is Lincoln.

[Mick]

If possible, I'll take Gilgamesh.

[Sousa]

Gilgamesh is not in the game.

I'll send you to the next guy over.

[C-MIL]

All right, Chester is Lincoln.

I can't wait to eat this

baby.

[Sousa]

And, hell, let's roll Ace up, too!

[EWB's Best Poster.]

I demand India, so that I can smile at you and say we love peace then break my own jaw in gritting my teeth whilst I curse your name and declare war at you 3 turns later for... oh I dunno lets say learning masonry.

[Jimmy]

So in! Possilby Churchill, please.

[Summers]

In, Alexander of Greece, if possible.

[Sousa]

Rider gets Gandhi. Summers gets the civilization that conquered the one he requested. Split gets basically the opposite of what he asked for.

[Ace]

Dammit Sousa, your going to make me Wiki Kublai Khan now, and actually learn some history.

I am...*proud pose*...Research Boy!

[Sousa]

Just periodically throughout the game go to Xanadu and a stately pleasure dome decree.

[Pizza]

I'm in. We can pretend Hatshepsut is Cleopatra so C-Mil can pine over me.
