Batman Mafia on Idle Thought’s offsite board needs a substitute player. It’s a pretty involved (read huge Day One) game, but we’re only on Day Two. If interested, please post here or PM me or Mera Naam Joker. [http://psychopathgame.proboards106.com/index.cgi](http://psychopathgame.proboards106.com/index.cgi) ---

The game is in the Arkham Knights forum. The order is: Night Zero Day One Day One, Part 2 Night One Day Two The nights aren’t very important(except that the results of the first Day’s lynch are posted in the Night One thread). ---

Geez. I know I’m missing a bunch on that board. Chia Bingo Manager? I guess after getting up to speed on this one, I’ll have to read all the other ones out there too? 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Rysto] I had to look that one up myself. It’s from the Psychopaths game: [/QUOTE] Ah yes, the Chia Bingo Master. It was one of the all-time greatest Cluster F\*\*\*s, probably right behind Day 2 of M2, but it was an enormous amount of fun. Definitely go read it, especially if you can stand to read it without the context of the roles of those involved. As for the OP, I may be interested in subbing there to, assuming I get lynched in the game here. ---

Whichever one of the two of you gets back to me with a definite ‘yes’, first. Whoever’s second gets first dibs on the next role. ---

And Darth suddenly frees up his schedule. I’m gonna guess that BlaM’s future doesn’t look particularly brighter in the Recruitment Game. 🙂 ---

Just imagine it, Rysto: BlaM could figure out the possibility of any given role from any possible configuration of Mafia being in the game. Then, he could post each morning the particular odds and adjusted possiilities of the likeleyhood of that outcome given any of the possilbe original setups. The man could write a frickin’ PhD level statistics thesis, in game! Where’s your Witches pride, anyways? 🙂 ---
