Thanks, **Mahaloth**! > [@NAF1138](#): > > You read through all those old games? You are totally qualified to play. I promise. Hope so! It was fun to read, even the minor meltdowns here and there. For me, the Weird West and You-Solve-It games were the most fun to watch in retrospect. OH! I also read the Harry Potter version, natch. Forgot about that one. (Actually, the only thing that sometimes disappoints me in Mafia games is that the color/setting often seems so incidental, where people don’t care about the theme but are just into the analysis. Seems like some more role-playing, or getting into the fiction of the setting, would be interesting too. That’s why this version, with the RPG aspect, piques my interest.) Anyway I’ll shut up. There’s nothing more irritating than a newcomer who presumes to tell others how she thinks the game should be “improved.” > [@](#): > > If you actually like reading old games, might I suggest looking up Mafia IV. That was a spectacular game in a lot of ways. I started to read that one but it seemed a bit wooly due to the various roles and permutations. I’ll give it another go, though. I’ve been through the MafiaWiki and skimmed IdleMafia and will definitely check out the Batman / Treasure Island games. Thanks! ---

My problem is going to be a shortage of time at possibly critical junctures. So, I’ll play, but if a twenty-second player comes along before you start, I’ll sit it out. ---

And you should read [Screamers](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=532883). The fact that I modded it is totally incidental, I swear. It had great play on all sides and the best voting gimmick I ever came up with. ---

You can put me in the very last spot, and if someone wants it they can have it. I want to play, but I’m taking my boards in 3 weeks, so won’t have as much time as I would like to play in the beginning… But, I’ll have oh so much time after that (if I’m still alive). ---
