I've played and ran games off and on a super casual mafia site that is a bit stagnant, someone posted a link and as I still had my one risky click for the day, here I am. I'm ready to get bulldozed a bunch of times, I like to think I'm a better moderator then I am a player but eh, I'm here now.

Playing in person is pretty scary because you need to be really convincing, but it's always lots of fun too. I heard these games can go on for weeks or months, is that true? I'm used to games that last maybe 30 minutes at most so I'm curious to see what the dynamic here is. I guess someone doesn't have to die every single night?

Hello Dana. Welcome to The Syndicate. I agree with you that real life games are more intense, but I will say that the breed of players on this site will ensure that the intensity factor is not diminished much.

As for timing, that depends on the game:

A "Full game" has 48 hour Day phases (for discussion and voting) and 24 hour Night phases (for Night actions and kills).

A "Speed game" has 24 hour Day phases and 24 hour Night phases.

Thus, the typical time for a Full game is a month to two months, while a Speed game lasts a couple of weeks.

What online games have over real life games is BTSC. In real life, you merely know your accomplices (if you are bad). In online games, you are afforded time to plot and communicate. It's very fun, and we are home to a host (no pun intended) of Hosts who are highly creative and eager to please their players.

Let me know if you have further questions.

I'm wrathofgod

I used to play mafia with people in real life, but now I don't.

I wonder if online will be better?

It will be because we are awesome fun people. Welcome!

^^ I'm excited then.

I'm slightly afraid of making rule-related errors, since my group of friends always had a really weird set of house rules that changed on a constant basis.

On a side note, how are you today? Glad to make your acquaintance.
