Side Casting...and yes I did just look up bulldozing techniques.
Was I the same as when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I am not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I?

lol...because I like him way more then Emerson (Who is a philosopher not a "writer" in the way I see it), Salinger, Williams, Fitzgerald, Hawthorne and Mellville. Plus Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises are two of the best books I've ever read.

Really though it's mainly Salinger that's giving me fits, everyone else is understandable by opinion. But I REEAAAAALLLY loathe Salinger, so if we just remove Salinger my resolve will weaken.

Nice answer, I will back off Hemingway for now. He is far from my fave, but yeah, Old Man and the Sea was pretty good :noble:

Hello. I'm new here. I'm not new to mafia.

I've run games and made some brilliant plays before. I've also lost horribly and made blatant wire with the best of them.

I enjoy things sometimes and other times I don't.

Historically, I've been very active as a poster, but real life has forced me to allow my playstyle. I rarely take hints well because I never get them.

I wake up, win the lottery, then loose it all at a casino.

Not playing any game, just misplacing it.

Ahhhh..... To be young again.

very cool reading some intros here and some history of this place.

i think it was MP who linked me to sign up a few years back through our RYM mafia gaming period where there was going to be a game between two sites (I didn't join, RL issues prevented me unfortunately).

was chatting with jay a few weeks ago (love him, old friend) and got talking about mafia somehow and how I missed playing with him so he said HEY there's a SF game that's about to start so...here I am. Was really nice to see Sloonei here too, who is also an old friend.

Noticed that everyone's nice which is new for me when venturing into a new online community, more so in a competition. Where are all the snarky meanspirited snobs :p

One of the things I love about the people here is that the community is as important to us as the game itself. I had some of these people at my wedding, heck I had some of them IN my wedding! There are some awesome people here, and the people who have joined us here from RYM are no exception to that. So welcome!

A chunk of us started playing Mafia on Lostpedia Forums, dunya, and the LP folk have been tight for some time. Like Spacedaisy said, we have partied together several times (one guy travelled from Australia to Washington DC for a party... my family and I attended the same from Ontario).

The community is more important than the Mafia games.

So do I. I don't know what happened to her, she was applying for a new job maybe she just is too busy with that to play. I sent her a PM in the hopes that it triggers her email telling her how much we miss her and happy birthday.

We did! He was hosting, I was a player. :) We had played together before but I didn't take notice of him before that. In fact I had hosted him in one of my games before and had watched in amusement as he had imploded his entire civilian team. It was quite funny and a little tragic. Lol

Yeah, we actually started talking when I was hosting Classic Rock Mafia on The Piano (RIP) back in January of 2012. Honestly it's still amazing to think about it -- I spent my spring break to visit her two months later and the rest is history.

That's a great idea. I've reached out to FH briefly a couple times since she's been gone but haven't heard from her in a long while now. Would be amazing to see her back.

It's so bittersweet to look at the member list. So many amazing people that are a part of our community that have come from so many different avenues -- the LP/TP/RM/STV crowd, the PA/Shred crowd, RYM, HCR, RL friends of myself or any other members, and so many places. It's awesome to think how many have been retained and how we all have melded together into this now what I could only really call a TS community because of how varied everyone's background is. So many of my best friends are here. But then there are many people who have come and gone who I definitely miss and would love to see come back as well.

Wow, I think my intro post got eaten during the Sitequake of 2017.

I'm from HCRealms, I have been playing for over a decade, and I'm always mafia.

Seriously, we ran the numbers and I'm two standard deviations more likely to be Mafia in a game over there. So of course my first game here in the Side Mission? Mafia. ;)

Also helped JJJ run the Mass Effect mafia. Looking forward to participating in more games.

Hey malakim! Happy to have you here. :D

I feel your pain; I was mafia 9 out of my first 10 games, and I had various long periods of time where I kept rolling mafia a ridiculously high amount of the time. Seems I might be finally over that, but it's done lasting damage to a lot of players' willingness to trust me. At least you made a win out of your first mafia experience here. :beer:

I'm from HCRealms, I have been playing for over a decade, and I'm always mafia.

Seriously, we ran the numbers and I'm two standard deviations more likely to be Mafia in a game over there. So of course my first game here in the Side Mission? Mafia. ;)

Also helped JJJ run the Mass Effect mafia. Looking forward to participating in more games.
hi im quin and im always town, even when im not

Hi everyone.

The site was recommended to me when I popped back into the mafia forums at HCRealms.

I've been playing mafia for almost ten years now, off and on. I've run several games (some with wacky and completely broken roles). I'm glad to be a part of this community. It may take me a bit to sign up, as I want to explore about a bit (plus I'm currently running a game elsewhere).

And yes, Mal is always mafia. :meany:

I wish I still had the roles for that game, but they were lost when my computer died.

I do appreciate everyone's patience in waiting for the final results of that game!

Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

Okay hello :)

I am Mesk!

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move my post to wherever it's supposed to belong... However I do believe i'm in the introductions section so, heeyyyyyyy!

I started playing Mafia two years ago on sc2. I have played over 1500 - 20 minute mafia games. As life was changing for myself I started playing more and becoming more involved when I then became an admin for the game. After reviewing game misconduct for so long, I really realized that 20 minutes really wasn't enough to get the real fun in the game, thus I started playing Forum Mafia on sc2mafia.com.
Unfortunately I arrived too late as the last two years there's only been one game running at a time and it's mostly the same people. However, that wasn't always the case and there's been over 15 - 25 to 30 player games hosted in the past. 4 for them being within the last two years.

A couple months ago I took over the responsibility of running the section. I selected only the best of people to help me and I must say it's been lengthy road trying to revamp the section of the site, but it's been fun and it's something I am willing to do as I'm just a loser with an internet connect :)

I am here because I want to learn how others play apart from my homesite. If someone link me to a game or PM me teaching me how to maneuver this site, it would be greatly appreciated!

Again sorry for potentially necroing and posting in the wrong thread!

Hi!

I'm PTB. I started playing SC2 Mafia online in 2010/11. I played too many games to count to be honest. I got into forum style mafia about 2 years ago. I've quickly grasped the concept of how forum mafia works. I played on another site, but I am in search of a new place to call home. The site I originally come from is limited in players and forum capabilities. So I am excited to see the larger world that is forum mafia.

Thanks!
