Has the Mafia craze died out here?
The current game is underway here: Harry Potter Mafia - The Game Room - Straight Dope Message Board
with the forbidden discussion thread here:
Missed that, RS. Thanks.
And Pleo’s running a new Conspiracy game on the off board right after the Malazan game that NAF, Rysto, MHaye, and I are running winds up. (Though his signups are now full.)
I will have another game after the one I’m running here ready, if no one else has a strong one going.
I think I’ve got a Semi-Open game that I’d like to run, once a spot opens up here or if I can win the idle lottery. But I’ll defer if someone else has a game ready to go, since I feel my game is missing a red herring to get it off the ground and running.
Plus i’d rather play than mod, so there’s that consideration too.
I have a few themed games ready to go anytime too. I actually prefer to mod than play, and it’s been awhile, so I’ll be happy to cage match with anyone else who really wants to mod next time. 
Is there a sign up sheet/lottery/round robin for here, or is it just who ever dares, mods?
I’d like to participate, but because of my job my access would be limited.
Maybe a mini-game?
Yes, there is a sign-up thread.
I’ve bumped it and signed up, but here it is.
