That's not his fault, it's Christmas week after all and it can be difficult to organize events during this part of the year. Hopefully we can try this setup again sometime soon! It definitely looks like it's worth experience in the fullest vision Glorf has for it.

That doesn't mean we can't play tonight though. If you give me about fifteen minutes I can cook something up really fast.

I was going to offer the same. Buuuuuut, I'd love to play too.

Thanks for the effort Glorfindel! Stay determined my friend. I'm sure you can try again on a future date and get the targeted number of players.

Thank you, my friend! I certainly will do as you say. It should be an awesome game and I look forward to Hosting it for all of you

I know it's a closed setup; is that the reason for calling it? I know that 9 players for a game can work quite well with 7 civilians and 2 mafia, but that is assuming a completely vanilla setup.

Thanks, my friend - no, I'm afraid that it is not at all a vanilla set up and I believe we actually only have 8 players as I've been working under the assumption that MP was my Co-Host. Being the first game that I've hosted anywhere, there is now way in the wide world that I'd be able to run the game on my own...

Greetings, Fellow Syndicateers!

With less than 12 hours to go before our proposed start time for Wicked Mafia, we have barely 50% of the players we need to make this game a viable proposition. I don't personally think it is reasonable to expect a Host to continue with a game under these circumstances so (as a consequence) I'm calling this game now. I believe this game has great potential and I'd be happy to host it again at some point in the future that the Site Administrators and you, the fine members here, deem suitable.

I do strongly believe that these games are a very important and worthwhile feature of this site and am committed to their concept. For this reason, despite the personal inconvenience, I will be signing up to play Sprityo's Credithunt Game later this week and I implore you all to consider signing up as well to further test the concept of Burglary games.

Thank you to all of you who signed up to play for your enthusiasm and support (and especially to MP and Jay for theirs). I appreciate it very much

I'm deeply saddened that you won't be able to play my game, my friend But I understand that a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

I completely see your point, my friend. I'm very happy to revisit this matter if there is a consensus for changeable voting. The previous (Election Night) game worked under a non-changeable vote arrangement but as I was lynched early that game, I'm not really in a position to make a judgement as to how effectively that arrangement worked. Perhaps anyone who had played in that game may like to post their views on this matter...?

If you had the time, I'd recommend you download the soundtrack and give it a listen - I suspect it will help a lot

Welcome friends to... Wicked Mafia!
