[SIGN-UPS] Pirate Mafia

#41

If I didn't want to read people explain things in paragraph form then I wouldn't be here on a forum for playing mafia.

Nice to meet you, Caio.

I think the technical definition is something like this:

- Generic game: Most roles are generic (have no abilities). I. e. Heists.
- Role mandess: most roles have at least one ability. E. e. Full games and speed games.

Also there is the flavor/vanilla definition.

- Flavor game: any game with a theme. I. e. Seinfield
- Vanilla: any game without a theme. I e... hard to find an example since 99% games in the Syndicate are themed. But Greater Idea is one that counts.

People tend to mistake vanilla and generic a lot tho. But I think this is the best definition.

I've never seen this distinction made, but I appreciate that it exists.
I'll add it to my Mafia Dictionary.

It's mostly from Mafia Scum and also from this guy from NF who is addicted to mafia theory.

Yeah dude I'm in. You had me at "no sockpuppets".

Are you someone I already know going by a different name or are you mostly a perceptive stranger?
A perceptive stranger. You seem to have predated me here, but that just makes me more excited to see you in action.

I'm a little jittery to start.

I haven't played mafia in 3-4 years and all the people I knew have probs evolved in that time gameplay-wise. Meanwhile this site has filled up with maybe hundreds of people I've never met before, it's exciting.

#46

I look forward to the day there is a college course called Mafia Theory.

No, we still suck. Don't worry.

We're up to 7 players all of a sudden, so we're getting close. Hopefully this little burst of momentum tonight keeps up.

We have hundreds of people but almost everyone is retired.

Nice to have you though, we can try to liven this place up.

First line of the syllabus:

"Any student who belittles or otherwise ignores the civilian value of Day 1 will receive an "F" for the course."

#54

I'm adding that to the rules for this game.

Hey! Dunya

Few more days at least. Seinfeld needs to end first of all, and I'm sure we can get a few more folks to sign up. I'll start this after people have stopped trickling in.

#61

Just FYI I will be going to a concert weekend of Nov 4&5 and driving back on the 6th. My participation those days will be admittedly be low, but I'll do the best I can.

#62

Ohhh yeah, heads up. Sokoth is coming to visit us from Nov 6-11. My participation will undoubtedly suffer during those days.

#63

It occurs to me that this'll be the first time Sloonei and I host together since our Inception magnum opus. *wistful sigh*

#64

[mention]Ricochet[/mention] you implied you wanted to sign up for this. It's almost filled.

#65

Can I talk like a Pittsburgh Pirate?

#66

software pirate?

That's not hard. Watch.

"We suck. We really do."

Now you try it.

I have to work the next two evenings, but I may get around to starting this when I get home tomorrow (around ~9 EST). If not, then expect to start sometime on Sunday. Signups will remain open until the exact moment the game begins.
