After some consideration, I think I’m going to hold off on the cards-based game and run through some simulated games first, since it’s fairly complicated. In lieu of this I have Thundercats Mafia nearly ready, and will get signups started later today. ---

OK, so I can get a game up and running in the next 3 weeks or so. Anyone else want to go sooner? I’ll gladly step aside and play in your game if you have one ready to go. ---

I’d like to step in and host a game after Red’s Genre Fiction is done. Does anyone object? I’ll step aside if anyone had their heart set on it. Mahaloth ---

Looks like Gadarene has claimed next. I may have a game to run after him, though. ---

Astral, please go join Story’s new Batman sequel game on idlemafia. He’ll have to tinker with the setup if we don’t get enough people. ---

I kinda would like to host a game with a lot of players, and on the forums where I generally play, I can’t get that many. Any chance of that here? ---

Depends on your definition of a lot. I think we could probably get 40, especially if some newbies got involved. ---

Just a quick plug to say that we still need between two and three players for a full roster for the upcoming Arkham Asylum sequel on [idlemafia.com](http://idlemafia.com). Come play! ---

> [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > Depends on your definition of a lot. I think we could probably get 40, especially if some newbies got involved. That’s plenty. I’m sure I can do something special with that many. The largest mafia game I hosted was 50. ---

As of this Friday, I will probably find myself with a lot of time on my hands, but there’s an outside chance I might end up busier than ever, so if it’s still open then, I’ll probably sign up, **Storyteller** (at least as a sub). But because of that outside chance, I can’t commit to anything yet. ---

Anyone else with any interest in hosting here? My game on the .org is wrapping up, and the one on Giraffe only needs two updates a week. I’ve got game ideas. If no one else is interested in hosting and folks are interested in playing, I’ll volunteer. ---

I take your silence as meaning if I should host, I wouldn’t be treading on anyone’s toes. Would it be a stretch to also think no one would be interested in playing?
