[QUOTE=Hockey Monkey] :ahem: I can’t resist the pull of the game. I wish to sign up. However if there is new blood that wants to join in, I’ll give up my seat. This one looks like a lot of fun, and since I got offed so quickly in \*\*story’s \*\* game I’ve been antsy. [/QUOTE] I’m veering slightly off-topic here, but **Hockey Monkey** , I believe that I heard you say that you’ve been working on a hockey-themed Mafia ruleset? How goes progress on that? I ask because a couple of weeks ago I had a burst of inspiration about a hockey-themed Mafia game and I was wondering if we could collaborate. Now, my ruleset is somewhere between closed and semi-open(players begin the game in the dark about the Roles but they get revealed over time) so if you were to help me with this you couldn’t be a player in the game. What I have is very rough and needs a lot of polishing in terms of balance, simplifying the rules and too much probability being involved. If you’re interested, PM me. ---

[QUOTE=Mtgman] Possibility of nolynch or no kill at night my young padawan. [/QUOTE] A no-lynch is a slight possibility, but only due to the odd-even nature of the game. No-kill is entirely implausible. Even if town agrees to one no-lynch, the max is nine, not ten. To get to ten there would need to be three no-lynches, and once you start going there, you might as well say that the max time for the game is eternity. ---

If it is okay with NAF, I’d like to keep my spot open for anyone who hasn’t played before (until the game starts). Just post your interest and we can swap out before the game begins. ---

It’s fine with me. There is one spot available to new players. That availability disapears when the first Night is posted. ---
