> [@Boozahol\_Squid\_P.I](#): > > Especially the mason and the Riddler boards, as I recall. As a note to this, (because I just spent an hour re-reading these hidden boards) when one of the masons makes a long screed about how much of a whinging bore **Santo Rugger** was, the accusation was completely true. Not that **Santo** himself was a bore, but one of the restrictions of his role required him to be the most active poster (or something to that effect, right **Roosh**?) which meant that 90% of his posts were pointless, meandering, unhelpful nonsense. ---

Almost 50 players?!?! Wow. This game is going to be MASSIVE! and massively fun. I should be able to recover from the holidays, but I won’t guarantee that I won’t make a fool out of myself. I should be busy between now and the beginning of January. ---

I say we start the very instant Dante’s The Thing game over on giraffe finishes. Or as soon as i get lynched or NK’d. Whichever comes first. ---

Yeah, I’d vote for having the game after the new year too. Like, right after, even. maybe starting the 2nd-5th or around there…that’d be the perfect time, I think. Start the new year off with the best, biggest, most epic mafia reunion game ever. 🙂 ---

I’ll be fine with starting in the New Year; I’ve played over the holidays and things always bog down around then. ---

I dont’ know how detailed the planning has gotten- but I’ll be a much better participant if we limit our game actions on the weekends. I can keep up fine during the week, but spend very little time on a computer on the weekends. And while I can read the threads on my phone - posting is tedious. Just my preference - but I can roll with whatever. ---

Friends, this is awesome! I think in order to balance properly, we’re going to have to declare some kind of formal cutoff for new registration. So: I propose that anyone who has signed up before Wednesday, December 7 at noon Eastern will be on the player list; anyone who signs up after that time will go on the alternate list in order of registration. **NAF** and **Mahaloth** , are you OK with this? ---

> [@Brooky](#): > > I’m in, need to learn though Talk about a trial by fire - this game is going to be insane. I would humbly submit the game I ran last year as a pretty straightforward one to read and follow (even if I went a little sideways at the end with the tiebreaker mechanic).

Also, having brought up that game (which shamelessly aped Storyteller’s narrative style), I’d like to say that I’m stoked that he’s (co-)running this one, seeing as how he ran my first ever game. ---

I’m thinking we really drag things out. Week long days. 3 day Nights. Lots of no Lynch options. If we get it up to 75 players we can make it last 2 years.
