[QUOTE=Pleonast] Yes, the Vig’s attempt to kill herself could be blocked. But she’ll keep trying until she succeeds. Very interesting. [/QUOTE] Aww! You didn’t say she’d have to keep killing herself! Only that’s she’d have to attack herself the next night. ☹ I thought that would be an amazingly interesting thing: forcing the Vig to declare after a miskill, in an attempt to get the witches to protect her from herself… but if they did, they’d be leaving the rest of the town open to attack. ---

[QUOTE=Pleonast] Only the moderator’s reveals count, because everything else is potentially a lie.Zombies are destroyed when the Necromancer is, although it won’t be known immediately. Since dead Mafia players on the SDMB have a habit of haunting the living, I figured to make it an official part of the game.You got to figure out who killed who for yourself. [/QUOTE] Will any of the Zombies be cheerleaders? ---

We’re up to 18 people interested in playing (check the [Players](http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dwp82xq_10qv9pnj) link in my sig for a list). It’s a random draw for players, so don’t be afraid to jump in, it’s not too late. ---

[QUOTE=CatinaSuit] And for those of without access to Google docs ☹ [/QUOTE] Ok, I made a crude [mirror](http://masontalk.proboards51.com/index.cgi?board=info&action=display&thread=1190228487) on the secret board. You’ll have to register (it’s painless). The actual secret scum forums should be well hidden. ---

Question: Where will the game actually be played? Given the slightly frightening size of Mafia V, and now NAF’s (1000+ posts on Day 1! :eek: – but it’s a 100% closed setup so we’re hypothesizing ourselves into circles ) I hope it’s not on the SDMB. ---

The game will be played right here in this thread. But those Players with secret communications (Witches, Wolves, Cabalists) will discuss their plans over on the other board. Where it’ll be secret. 🙂 There’ll be only 20 players in this one, so I expect the thread won’t break any records. ---

I think I’ll just sign up as a substitute, watching from the Peanut Gallery. I don’t know how crazy my schedule will get at the end of the semester. (And I try not to do too many things at the same time - I’m also currently signed up for a D&D thing Cafe Society and I also have a couple of writing projects on my plate.) ---

If I’m counting correctly now (no ShadowFactsKat 😛 ), we still need one more person. Maybe one of the soon to be dead in the Firefly game. 😃 ---
