**I guess this could be a zombie, but I’m resurrecting it since it is ongoing.** I have a game nearly prepped and should be ready in the next few days. 🙂 ---

I’ll sign you up Freudian. Just working out a few final kinks. ---

Sign me up, too. I should be pretty clear to play this summer (finally). ---

I’ll volunteer to be spoiled from the outset! 😃 Maybe that’s how I can finally get the hang of Mafia. ---

Cool, guys. I’ll sign you up, but I still need a day or two to finish the game. 🙂 And I’ll spoile you septimus. Now, if you like(though I’m not done). ---

I’d be interested in playing, but let me put a big giant warning on it: I’m a total newb. I’ve followed along on a couple of the games we’ve had here, namely the first one and the last, most recent one (but that one had me totally lost, so take that for what it’s worth.) I’ve never played before, and aside from the basics (the good guys are trying to root out and destroy the baddies), I’m totally clueless. I have no strategy. I have only the most basic idea of how to play. But I’m interested, as long as everyone knows that at the outset. I’m mostly available during the weekdays, weekends I’m mostly off line. If that’s a deal breaker, I’ll just watch from the sidelines. ---

That’s fine, snickers. You are in. Hey, everyone, still needing a little while to balance the game. Still working on it. ---

If you hold of long enough Maha I’ll join in as well. I’m going on vacation next week and will totally unavailable but after that I should be around with only a little interruption for moving. ---

I have four people helping me balance and perfect this game. It’s going to be great, but give me a bit more time to finish it. I can’t wait! ---

I’m bumping this: 1. I have a game prepped when Potter ends and would like to run it. 2. If someone else wants to start one even now, I think you’d be fine. There are enough people to run one, I think. I’m willing to step aside(and even play one) if someone has one planned for now. ---

OK. No one has jumped me in line, so I’m claiming this bastard. I will be running the next game in about a week or so and would appreciate no one jumping ahead. 🙂 I’ll get mod approval for the thread soon. PM me to pre-sign up, please. Dont’ sign up in this thread. 🙂 ---

While we’re at it, I’ll mention here that eventually (within a year or so), I plan to run a game themed on _The Name of the Rose_. The primary reason I’m mentioning it so far in advance is to make sure folks have a chance to read it: It’s a great murder mystery, and I’d hate to spoil it for anyone. ---

Very cool and I’d like to play in it when it arrives. I’m reviewing my game now on my laptop. I may need about a few days after I return from vacation(Aug 2) to get it ready, but it should be ready soon. Enjoy the Dope Mafia break for a bit, but we’ll be back soon enough. 🙂 ---

I have a few Ideas, but they are probably 50% fleshed out. Guess I shouldn’t get in line then eh? But the bump won’t hurt. :eek: ---

Sounds interesting Chronos, it’s a very good book. Will provide great colour (mostly red) for a mafia game. ---
