I’m in. Although I fucking hate them at this point. Start 2 or 3, I don’t care. ---

Drunk? I’ll be in if someone starts it, though I’m a newbie to it. ---

Lordy zuma. If you can wait until Monday or Tuesday I will start the one that USCdiver has created. I don’t know if you will like it, but it will give you something to rant about. It is designed to be a light fun game for vet players that was supposed to run concurrently with the newbie game Hal is going to run. But I don’t know what is going on with Hal’s game, so maybe we won’t wait. ---

Yo,\*\* zuma\*\*, why don’t you play a few games of 3 handed? ---

I’m also thinking of running a game but wanted to give people a chance to start and get some players, since I just ran one. I’ll commit that if there’s no game started in a week, I’ll start one. ---

Still calling a seat in Hal’s game (and I’ll be registered soon) ---

Has **zuma** won a game yet? He might be a newbie on a technicality. 🙂 I’ll be running the Conspiracy 2 in the summer, once I get past a bunch of business travel. ---

Sorry for keeping people waiting on this, but I’m going to have to back-burner Newbie Mafia. Things are getting very hectic at work, meaning I unfortunately don’t have the time needed to put into this right now. Things could be back to normal in a couple of weeks, but there are a couple of options right now – 1. If someone else wants to run Newbie Mafia, I’ll be happy to hand over everything I have on it. 2. New players are always welcome to join in standard games (I see one coming to life now, although it may be full already). 3. I could run Newbie Mafia in a month or so. Which, incidentally, might work out very well if the timing is right. If the SDMB is going to be dropping Pay-To-Post, then we’re going to be seeing a big influx of newbies… If someone wants to go for option #1, feel free to PM me and I’ll hand over the what I have on this. Sorry all!
