One thing to say in favor of this board: We have spoiler tags, which can make long posts (like a Wall of Words, or when I post my game notes) a lot cleaner.

Seems you have plenty of players so I’d be willing to be a reserve player in case someone goes AWOL.

Don’t you just hate it when that happens.

Will Gerry Rafferty make a guest appearance?

(One of these days I’ll actually play in another mafia. And some day, there will be a Malazan 2. It will happen but I have to find time.)

SUB: Askthepizzaguy (though, pizza, if you want to play I can pretty easily enter you into the game; the setup isn’t one of those balanced-on-a-knife-edge thing so I can easily accommodate anywhere from 20 to 25 or so - any more than that and it will get sloppy. If you want to play, just let me know).

And **septimus** makes 20. I’d like to avoid going past 22, actually, so there’s room for peeker (if he wants to play) and one other.

Subbing means I am likely to play. Rare is the mafia game where no one doesn’t show up. I’m still mad busy IRL.

Y’know, on thinking about it, I think this is something I need to air out before a game: If **peeker** and I are in the same game, I will be voting for him continually until one of us dies, because so far as I can tell, he always plays Scum, even when the moderator tells him he’s Town. If this will be a problem, and he does sign up, then you’d better take me off the list.

Heh, peeker’s a strange one but I’ve served on the town side with him before and seen him perform with competence.

Edit: Of course he always thinks I’m scum. But then everyone always does.

I, for one, really hope that Pizza plays. Having to go up against him in my very first game ever was definitely what you’d call a trial by fire, especially since he was right about me _the whole damn time._

Ok which game was that. Or did you use a different handle.

I remember pretty much all the scumbags I’ve ever called out. So it’s unsettling to me that I don’t remember you.
