Yeah, I read the OP so I’d have some clue what was going on. I know about Harry and Ron and Hermione and Dobby the House Elf because he’s just adorable. Oh, and Quidditch. And…that’s about it. I guess that’ll be enough. Thanks again for running this!

I will be creating a unspoiled discussion thread on this board as well. I will try to name it very clearly so no one accidentally goes into it.

I’m thinking:

The Forbidden Forrest - Harry Potter Mafia Unspoiled Discussion  
Anyone got anything better?

Nope. I was suspicious of it while it was a fad, and then never really had a reason to read it later.

In! Although I will be slower than usual to post the first little while, until Malazan winds down.

Don’t blame you. Being in Malazan delayed me from finishing this game preparation.

NETA:

It’s not Haggle, but I think all involved will agree it has been enough time for EVERYONE who plays mafia on SDMB.

I think I just missed last place. If I’m not in, I’ll be a willing sub!

Wow, that went fast. I’ll join **Guiri** on the sub bench, if you’ll have me.

Actually, I think Storyteller is number 18.

So that leaves the sub’s bench all for me. (I’m not sure I could cope with this, monitoring Malazan _and_ a Mister Blockey special…)

I’m on the list twice for some reason, so I think that frees up a slot.

Hope you have a good game. A Harry-flavoured game gives a lot of scope for some interesting role and abilities.

I go out drinking on a Thursday night and miss the sign-ups. (My softball team lost it’s 9th game in a row. Next time, we go out drinking \*before \*the game.)

This looks like a fun game to watch though. I’ll sub, if needed at any point.

Ooh, I’d love to…

…er, are there any spots open? The list, it confuses me.

Never played Mafia but I can’t resist me some Potter.
