I just went and looked. Man, my first game was 8 1/2 years ago, story’s simpletown. How many people are even still around from that long ago? I also remember now that Mafia was the thing that wrecked my formerly historically low post count, when that was still a thing. ---

In! I am aka Archangel and NancyKnows. (Apparently I registered here ages ago and I don’t know how to change my screen name.) Are players welcome/requested who played elsewhere than our boards? ---

Yep, I messaged pretty much everyone who was a member on Idle and who played on FB. If you can think of anyone else, though…feel free to invite. ---

Definitely /in. I still wish I had played Sherlock Holmes better. Have we ever done a Buffy game? I’ve always thought that was an excellent thematic universe for Mafia. ---

But if I didn’t, then it’s because I figured you to be a shoo in to see this thread in due time considering you’re part a group that lives in this forum (which is not judging, I think that’s a good thing. I like to think I’m part of that group too). ---

Hey, how about this: a Mafia-themed Mafia game? I know it has to have been done (maybe done to death), but I’ve never seen one. ---

Like NAF, I am happy to play or host as the consensus prefers… in some ways, it might be better to host because it’d be super sad to risk being killed or lynched in a game this potentially awesome 🙂 But I’ll also gladly defer to anyone else who wants to host; my favorite hosts were… well, frankly, it’s like a nine-way tie, so I won’t even bother. ---

I know I am not in your list, but I might consider it. Having said, that Giraffe Boards allows multiple threads and has a vote counter. I’d prefer to do it there. In fact, I’d love to attempt the hosting duties if we can do it there. ---

In fact, I’d love to attempt the hosting duties if we can do it there. Has anyone tried using the GB Robot with a non-GB forum? I think it still works if you have your vote in blue and bold. I’m too lazy to try it though. ---

This might be waters too deep for a noob. However I’m in either as the rube you kill in the first round, or as an observer. ---

I’m for hosting, but we have to use a multiple thread vote counter like board like giraffes. Otherwise, it’ll be nuts.
