Hi everyone!

We're ready to get these games rolling into sign-ups. Some important information to be aware of:

1) We have canceled the "finale" game, and will be running this event more like a festival than a "tournament". We're about community here first and foremost, and competition is always lower on the totem pole (even if we're amazing and talented mofos).

2) You may only sign up for ONE of the four games!!! This will allow us to celebrate each era of our community and get the most out of each of the four games.

3) We will have an active spectator chat running throughout the games, accessible to players who are not actively engaged with one of the four games. This chat will remain UNSPOILED at all times.

4) We will be running a number of additional events throughout the next month or so beyond just these Mafia games, to include trivia, walrus, and more. Spacedaisy and juliets will have these details soon.

You may access sign ups for each of the four games via the links below. I have also included basic details about each game (in spoilers) to help you decide which one is best for you.

@juliets HI!!!! IVE MISSED YOU!!!

YES I remember, and we won

Apparently I STILL don't know how to quote correctly

Hi guys! Finally got my rez from the hosts!

(Thanks again jjj/ and marrmot!!!!)

Can I please have some mafia goos sirs and mams?

Omg beeeeeeeeaa!! So good to see you again!! Your another one I have such great memories of, we talked so much about life and I think we played some mafia too! I still remember the picture of you from your wedding, so beautiful in that gorgeous dress! In fact, I still remember the whole courtship playing out on hedville (I think it was hedville)! Such great memories!

It's just so great to see so many of you again. I wonder if I could talk Typhoony into playing - prolly not cause his life is going along 100 mph but maybe he'll stop by. Also Tranq and aapje - wouldn't LC just die 1000 deaths if aapje came back and played hahaha! (@Kate not sure if you remember the game where we were on a team with aapje (Mr. Pop) and he asked LC like 500 questions!)

Ok, I'll quit reminiscing now!

[Kate]

Someone help and oldie. Where is the list of roles and rules!
