Good for him, I hope it takes off.

I just wanted to say that I echo this sentiment.

I said this just now on RYM before it could be locked, but I wanted to say it here as well (with the proper pronoun and other edits to make it correct):

I really enjoyed getting to know the RYM Mafia folks and playing mafia over there, even though I couldn't give it the attention it deserved due to RL and splitting my focus between playing/hosting/admining here and trying to play over there simultaneously. Getting to play RYM #84 (Peanuts) will always be one of my fondest mafia memories; it really rekindled my love for the game and taught me to reexamine the way I approached it.

I had really grown to consider the RYM OT forum my second home after TS, so despite not being a presence there in nearly the way that the rest of them were, I'm still beat up about this. I hope to see more of them all on The Syndicate, particularly those I didn't get to know that well yet, and I'm glad Strawhenge is trying to keep it alive so I'll be bound to pop in on PWYW as well.

You all really had a super awesome, tight knit group of folks at RYM Mafia.

I think thats the soonest I've ever been a member of anything.

When I made an account I didn't even get the feel-good of seeing myself as the newest member, since MP made his apparently at the same time.

I'll really miss RYM mafia, and I hope many of that community find their way here. It's a great bunch.

I had the Sister Site thread locked, so that's part of the reason I moved your post here, Jay. Also felt this deserved its own thread. I can't believe the news. Reading sharifi's post I apparently was unaware of all the issues he was encountering. I had a lot of fun at least in my limited experience playing mafia there and lurking in the OT forums.

Of course, RYM Mafia brethren are more than welcome here.

Why couldn't this have happened before I worked on that Sister Site thread though? :P Just kidding. I'll at least keep you all in there for now to preserve the memory.

This deserves its own thread. It's a sad day.
