I will consider that spot his and start sending out roles, then.

Yay! Roles will go out tonight provided we get that last one.

I knew you'd be back. That's why I didn't take you off the player list. Just three more players and we can start.

juliets wrote:oh coolio! well I'll look forward to it starting - tomorrow maybe!

I hope so, if I can get five more people.

juliets wrote:hmmm...can i play this and death note at the same time? llama, i'm disappointed you didn't ask me to play your game but maybe i should ignore you and play anyway.

Very glad to have you! I didn't ask anyone to play this game, because I only wanted people who wanted to play to sign up.

Awesome! Don't worry, we won't start until Monday. Just six more people (5 if Turnip Head stays true to his original sign up)

S~V~S wrote:Llama is an awesome host, and this game will be great. A good host makes any theme worthwhile, and this one is pretty clever
I agree 100% There are some hosts who could put any theme up, and I mean ANY theme as a Mafia, and I would sign up in a heartbeat. Hosts like these could make a Kinds of Dirt Mafia and I would sign up. That's just how amazing they are.

Llama isn't one of those hosts, but I'm just saying.

This is my first full game and I have a few surprises planned. I hope it is fun, and I don't screw it up too badly.

Only ten slots left! Get 'em while they're slots!

Very happy to have you, Bullz!

Sign up for my game, bea. Trust me.

Or maybe....

...the unwashed masses had it coming.

Yes, to both.

Turnip Head wrote:I may need to switch to "replacement" if this ends up not being a sock game, which is where this looks to be headed. I'm starting a new job tomorrow (SQUEEEEE!) and I won't have as much time for mafia as I'm used to having. I don't think I'll be able to keep up with being "Turnip Head" in two full games at once, but I could definitely keep up as TH in one game and a mysterious alter ego in another. So yeah... I want to play, but if it's not a sock game, I may have to wait until Death Note is either closer to completion or I kick the bucket there.

I'm not doing sock accounts. People couldn't behave, and now they've ruined it for everyone.

(plus, less work for me as a host.

)

Lizkeen, yu should sign up. The game will be better for having you in it.

This is an impossible task, I think that's what your critics are trying to point out :P

How about people just vote for the option they want and otherwise shut up? I'm going to do what I want regardless of the results anyway (like I do with every lynch poll)

Can you guys whine some more about the sckpuppet poll? I feel like there has not been enough complaining about my attempts to make everyone happy.

Canucklehead, change your maybe to a yes. I want you in my game.

Turnip Head wrote:That takes some of the fun out of it, but I love sockpuppet games so much that I guess I don't care

I don't think it makes that much of a difference, honestly.

Mongoose wrote:
thellama73 wrote:How about if the people who vote for sock accounts get sock accounts, and everybody else doesn't?
Actually, if sock puppets win, can I just not have a sock puppet account? Let's spare the pretense. It will be a lot less onerous for me to sign in and out of the multiple accounts.

I will give you a sock account called "Scoop Chang, reporter from the Beijing Bugle" and everyone will know it is you.

How about if the people who vote for sock accounts get sock accounts, and everybody else doesn't?

Mongoose wrote:Since you all I asked, I hate sock puppet games because everyone immediately knows who I am but I don't know who anyone else is. Also, I'm always the first to mispost from the wrong account.

Flase. It's always SVS.

Golden wrote:Sounds fun llama, but I'll never have time to finish it before going away for a month.

We could promise to kill you on Day 1, if that helps.

S~V~S wrote:Llama is a tease

Don't worry, your preferred option will win.

My original plan was to use sock puppets, but certain people (you know who you are) gave me a lot of pushback on it, so I decided to be Democratic about it. Whichever option has the most votes when we fill up, that is the way it will be.

Do they have BTSC? What happens to the kill if Carl von Tresseler dies? In what way does Reed Bardeen becomes more powerful?

Some people put *secrets* after role powers they don't want to reveal. I prefer vaguely worded powers.

The Mafia does have BTSC, and the kill will pass to another player if Von Tresseler dies.

“Yet this theory of mine was untenable for two reasons: First, it partakes too much of coincidence - only in the detective stories of badly harassed authors do such unmotivated occurrences take place.”
- Harry Stephen Keeler, Find the Clock

SENSATION!
Get ready for Harry Stephen Keeler Mafia!
The game of crazy coincidences and contrived plot twists set in 1930s Chicago

"Author Harry Stephen Keeler (1890-1967) wrote more than 70 books of what he called "webwork" fiction — mystery novels with highly complex, luridly bizarre and nearly inscrutable plots." - NPR

Promises to be a game like no other!

Disclaimer: This Mafia is based on books originally written and published in 1930s America. They are a product of their time, and may contain certain implicit attitudes, racial or otherwise, that would be considered offensive today. Please try to appreciate that the intent of the game is not to offend, but merely to remain true to the source material.
