> [@Chronos](#): > > The first half of the second movie was basically a remake of the first movie, so you’re not really missing anything. Yes and no. It had a lot of the similar events, but other than the (partially ret-conned) summary in the first 5 minutes, it picked up from the following morning where the first one ended. ---

Confirming here. I’m female and a newbie to Mafia, with no exposure to the movies. I have, however, read the original Evil Dead Mafia thread. ---

So here’s the thing. I kind of liked the multiple game threads the last time, but I got a fair amount of feedback after the game indicating that many players didn’t like it, because it made searching for past posts more difficult and time-consuming (especially since, unlike on Idle’s Board, players here post to many non-Mafia-related topics). I’m open to either choice (as long as the Moderators don’t object), but am happy to defer to the opinions of the players. In other news: 1. Mahaloth 2. Oy! 3. Normal Phase 4. Drain Bead 5. GuiriEnEspana 6. MHaye 7. Total Lost 8. Telecontar 9. Oredigger77 10. Mrs. McGinty 11. special ed 12. Chipacabra 13. Omi No Kami 14. Texcat 15. Stanislaus 16. One and Only Wanderers 17. NAF1138 ---

My opinion is that the one-thread-per-Day system doesn’t work as well here as it does on Idle’s board because of the other key difference; that each game has its own forum. The threads are grouped together and easy to find. I don’t think we could get a dedicated subforum for an ongoing game. ---

I was told by Gukumatz that 2-3 threads total for the game should be the max. I just do one for the game and one for the unspoiled discussion. ---

> [@Normal\_Phase](#): > > How did you change your name? I’m really sick of “normal phase” and want to go back to the name I use everywhere else. I changed my username about five years or so back. I just requested the new name from the mods, then created a thread in MPSIMS to announce it. The latter is not necessary; I just thought it might save a little confusion. No one much cared, but then I’m not a prolific or well-known poster. ---

Renata. I use it [here](http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=154), where I was first exposed to the addictive substance that is mafia-style games; [here](http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?156-Gameroom), where I’ve been doing most of my playing since January or so; and [here](http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=463) where I’ve played a couple of games recently. All very different in style to how people play around these parts, but I enjoy both. ---
