> [@Chronos](#): > > Well, not “as simple as possible”. At the very least, a mammoth monster game like that needs mechanics for multiple kills per cycle, to keep the duration reasonable. I have a rules set where every player is a “lover” that dies when their other dies. It handles large numbers well because every kill takes two. If there’s interest I may run it around Valentines’ Day. ---

Interesting. I assume that the lovers are pseudo-Masons who know who each other are? But then, all of the Scum would be paired up, too… If people declared who their lovers are, then it’d mean deciding which pair seems the most Scummy, instead of individuals, which would make for an interesting twist. ---

Some players know their lover, some don’t. Scum are always paired with town.

I first learned about Mafia here on the Dope too, and reading through the very epic DND themed game (I think ran by AskThePizzaGuy?) Is what really brought me into the game. I’m gonna be running the next Giraffe game and we just have a few spots left, if people are interested. And if it goes well, maybe we can do something here, too. The theme is based on the game, SCP: Secret Laboratory, but it should be lots of fun even if you have no idea what an SCP is 🙂 > **[SCP: Chaos Assault Mafia Sign-Up - The Giraffe Boards](https://www.giraffeboards.com/showthread.php?p=1555926)** > > SCP: Chaos Assault Mafia Sign-Up The Dungeon ---
