I'm a maybe. If I haven't changed it and you are desperate, check in with me. I am trying hard to not do more than one game at a time.

The ancient Greeks didn't defeat the Persian invaders by shrinking from the challenge. We are going the wrong direction.

[mention]Kylemii[/mention] why arent you signed up to this? dude. get on it.

Posted: **Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:49 am**

I am willing to reduce the player requirement for this game if I must, but it wouldn't be worth doing with fewer than 20 participants. That's a bare minimum.

Posted: **Sun Apr 08, 2018 5:46 am**

You probably just need to wait til the GoC ends before the last influx.

Posted: **Sun Apr 08, 2018 8:31 am**

Yeah, if I count correctly there are 19 lives left in there. People will trickle in as that number drops.

Posted: **Sun Apr 08, 2018 11:19 pm**

I'm already regretting this..

I'll play terribly so count my good intentions as extenuating circumstances.

Yes yes yes yes

The old rym crew are sloonei, Mac, dunya, Colin if I get this correctly. Since I have either played too little or zero with the rest it will be tough.
We were born for tough situations so the plan is to argue needlessly with Mac on the first day and lynch a random guy just cause.

Posted: **Mon Apr 09, 2018 12:57 pm**

If we get that "maybe" crew over on the "in" side, we'd only be three shy of the ideal minimum.

Just trust me and you'll be fine. Sloonei wouldn't hurt you.

My status depends more on prior commitments and availability. I will move to "in" at some point.

[mention]Kites[/mention] is tlazo, he's also playing.

ohhh, if you're playing maybe we can get [mention]rundontwalk[/mention], [mention]gwilikers6[/mention], [mention]Iron_Dwarf[/mention], [mention]Strawhenge[/mention] in this too.

i'd play anybody except the redneck.

The theme is ancient greece not the deep south.

Advertisements for Ancient Greece Mafia from your host, JaggedJimmyJay:

~ I pledge to give the most dedicated narrative effort in this game that I have ever given as a host. I want to tell the story as it happened relative to each major name included. I have read numerous books on the subject, and will continuously reference material from The Histories (a recounting of events by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus). If time permits I even hope to feature videos about the conflict relative to our experience of it, both original and borrowed.

~ This will be the first game, to my knowledge at least, on The Syndicate where there can be multiple "levels" of victory -- some wins are more glorious than others. If this is incorrect I would encourage anyone to inform me of that.

~ The core informed minority versus uninformed majority structure of Mafia will thrive, and the game will be balanced meticulously, to the best of my ability, down to every instance of every action that I can control a priori as the host. Everybody will have a fair chance to win.

OK I'm playing but I really want [mention]dunya[/mention] and [mention]S~V~S[/mention] to play too!

Just wait until you die in GoC or it's finished and then sign up. If this starts while you're in it, then never mind!

I mean, I'm not opposed to a modkill to help Jay along. But I did also say 'or it's finished'. I have no particular preference to which happens first

This is Ancient Greece and you're worried about brutality?

This is just survival.

It's a good thing wars are not LMS.

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2018 1:30 pm**

ok I'm switching in, but my participation will be vastly smaller than it currently is in GoC. Just a heads up, in case that apparently makes me look fishy or whatever.

Posted: **Thu Apr 12, 2018 1:31 pm**

I will be running a half-marathon on Sunday. Relevant.

One shy of the bare minimum and 6 shy of the ideal minimum. We'll get this game off the ground in no time.

We've reached the bare minimum. I'll give it another week to see if we can get closer to the ideal numbers, but the game will start sometime soon after that window.

Had some Quest Win Conditions that were available in Mafia: A World Reborn for players to achieve wins apart from their alignment.
