[QUOTE=sachertorte] To continue the no-need-to-bite discussion, Vampires knowing who Dracula is (and they do according to USCDiver), have a choice to make: help Dracula survive, or TURN HIM IN. [/QUOTE] Poor poor Dracula. I can already see him stuck having to just visit the blood banks every night out of fear of Minion Betrayal. ---

Woo, whoo! 17+ already, so I don’t have to sign up. Thank Og! I still can’t resist, though, so go ahead and put me on the sub list if you’re making one. ---

I can’t believe that this game uses werewolves, but the subject line says “Mafia.” As someone who much prefers the werewolf flavor to this game, I think that sux utterly. 😛 ---

I’ve been unsure whether to sign up or not. A sub’s position would probably suit me better right now, to be honest. So put me on that list please? ---

In to sub, if only to motivate the players to participate more. Remember, if you have to drop out of the game, you risk being replaced by yours truly. 😃 ---

Heh. You know, we always take for granted that role assignments will be given randomly, but I think it might be really fun as a moderator to assign roles non-randomly, just based on mod preference. Of course, the degree of meta-gaming that would create would be overwhelming, but wouldn’t it be kinda fun? ---

Maybe my next crack at the offboard site I will run it. It’s sort of a “the mod is also a player” kind of idea, and figuring out what the mod is doing is as much a part of the game as anything else. Basically take the opposite of “the rules are the rules and games should be black and white” philosophy of game running. ---

Keep in mind that I subscribe to the **sachertorte** School of Modding. Rules are rules. If anyone is going to be unable to meet the 4 posts per day rule because of a vacation, they will be Modkilled or replaced. Better to bow out now, in my opinion. ---

I’m very iffy on if I’m going to be able to make the 4 posts requirement while I’m on vacation. I’m sure there will be internet somewhere at where I’m going, but I’m not sure how much time I’m going to have to go to those places. If there is a sub that’s really itching to play I can switch places with them and take a seat on the sub bench instead. Otherwise, they may get to replace me anyway. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-cecilvania-game-over/449111.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-cecilvania-game-over/449111.md?page=6)
