Sign-ups and Pre-game:
1. This game wants 16+ players. As soon as 16 players have signed up, there will be a 24-hour window for others to join. Anyone who signs up after this 24-hour window will be put in the replacement queue.
2. Once the sign-up window has closed, I'll send Role PMs. You should confirm receiving your PM in the game thread.
3. The game will officially start when all but three players have confirmed.

Setup Info
So here's how this works. This is a Semi-Open setup.
I've divided my Tarot deck into two piles, the Major and Minor Arcana. As seen below, I've assigned specific, fairly traditional Mafia roles to the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana, however, have been assigned secret abilities that range from "Oh, that's new and interesting" to "What on Earth was that?" in power and strangeness. Some Major Arcana are town-aligned, some are Mafia, some are Werewolf, and some are other.
In order to keep the Major Arcana roles feeling appropriately special, I've separated them from the rest of the deck. For every seven players that join the game, one Major Arcana role is added to the setup. After that is done, I deal enough Tarot cards to give everyone a role.
Minor tweaking is done afterward to ensure some semblance of balance. It usually comes out pretty balanced, but sometimes there's six werewolves out of 16 players and that's just no good.

I'll include you for now. Depending on how long this game takes to fill, we'll see. Will you be able to post at all during that time period?

I should have internet access, but it'll be very limited. Probably none at all until ~18th, and then I'll be able to get on for about 30 minutes, if I really want (and I probably would rather not, but would be happy to check every other day to resolve e.g. night actions).

I can back-up mod.

I PM'd Cayvie that I was /out unless needed to fill... Do you know how hard it is to keep up with my Dominion amidst playing in 1001 forum games?!? And I wanna put together another solo-challenge soon! (Can't wait to host one with spin off the new cards... OH! I should do some puzzle theorycrafting with the reveals now!)

If you have to skip a game, skip the increasingly contrived insanity games.

Ok ok ok. After all, who wants to only play one forum game at a time. That would be, like, reasonable or something.

mckean's awesome, but that site asks "Please don't copy the images here and use them anywhere else" so i'll respect that

O is underrated. Galz/robz may appear to be the most hardcore mafia players, but keep in mind neither of them has actually modded a real game. And definitely not a 4K post 19 player behemoth 8).

I think i should mention that a-birds and I are related and occasionally use the same computer (probably not so much the next two weeks or so, but it could be an issue later on)--so I for one will make sure that logging off from the forum occurs regularly during that time
-
I'm currently alive in 5 games, have I reached the hardcore mafia player territory?
-
Yes.
-
No.
Anyways, I would like to try this out. I have experience playing this game although it's been a while. Let's see if I can last past the first 30 posts.

Huzzah, I'm the grand master of this game. Let's try to post 47 now.

Tables, I think I'm going to put you in the replacements queue; v/la for the full 11 days is going to be too much, since it looks like we're going to be starting before you leave.
-
Um yeah... I think I might have time for this now. Count me in.

I'm in if it starts after M8 ends, but start without me if there's enough and that doesn't happen.

yknow, tonight would be a particularly convenient night for this game to hit 16 /ins for me!

Are you saying I won't get something good, or that I won't like it? I think we've done that one too already.

out of curiosity, what type of role do you like best?

Only role I've ever had was WOSV, so I dunno. This game sounds like it'll have lots of good stuff in it, so my hopes are high for my first non-bastard role. :)

As one of the people who played Great Idea Mafia while it was still in the beta stages (ie IRL), I think I should /in.
It's actually surprisingly balanced much of the time even if you just randomize everything. Although I guess IRL games are fast enough that the rare unbalanced games end quickly and you can just move on to the next one.

Signing up to replace. ;D
What
Inside joke. In a few games that have taken place here, Axxle died, but then later was brought back to replace another player who dropped out of the game. Thus, some games had an Axxle1 and an Axxle2; hence the joke of Axxle2 coming in here and saying he's willing to replace a missing player if necessary.

Of course you are.
After preview #3, that was absolutely the most awesome thing I've read this morning. :P

I am in if u give me a scum role.

Policy lynch: timchen for not being able to shut up about other games.
-
Can this game have nightstart so I can kill Captain Frisk before he can even speak?
-
What did I say? You think too much.
-
I am in if u give me a scum role.
Vote: timchen If hes in the game he's scum, day 1 scum lynch sounds good to me!
-
timchen, no contingent ins. Yes or No.
-
I think he is joking. Obviously he is.
Obvin.
-
In.
-
doesn't look like we're gonna hit 21 players (that would add a 3rd Major Arcana to the game)
-
Being a replacement sounds like a good idea, especially considering I've just been reminded I'm on a family holiday (likely no internet) from the 1st-7th too :P

oh thank god, ehunt, i'm so glad i don't have to use the terrifying 16-player setup i had drawn earlier.
galzria might have been initially disappointed with his draw of bulletproof townie, but with six nightkills and a daykill in the game...

Cayvie - make sure you give Galz the worst possible role. He appreciates the challenge. I think that weak one shot vig will be tough to top, but perhaps something with a miller aspect?
-
What.
cmon get in here

We want eHal! We want eHal! Plus I still want revenge for blocking me in M3... assuming we end up on opposite teams again.

okay ehal is a no go... who else do we want to peer pressure into this game?

Weak Bulletproof Miller Suicidal Jester with Odd-Day Nightkill and Two-Shot Compulsive Bus Driving.
Colloquially known as "the O."

Sorry! I said I would play if cayvie would let me troll around (i.e. be Survivor, SK, Lyncher, anything where I wouldn't negatively impact a team) but she would have none of it. Full on random. :)

Randomized trolling is the best kind of trolling.
Or, to put it another way: O troll is go troll.
-
For the record, I used random.org for all my role selections, and weak 1SV is a totally legitimate role that almost actually accomplished something in MVI.

signups close in 2.5 hours.
then i have to write up PMs to send you guys (no, i did not pre-write 78 PMs)
THEN game will start.
-
I guess I'll pull out... long posts are so energy-draining...
-
Hey so here's a crazy thought. Is more better? Could we wait more than just a day from the point where the 16 cap was reached? I'm curious/interested in what MajorArcana-abilities there will be, and more people expose more of them. I suppose this would be hard since cayvie has said we're a go in 2.5 hours, but more=more complicated/interesting which I like. Balance may be an issue, but I trust cayvie.
Also, did you actually draw already, cayvie? I'd be interested to know (maybe at the end of the game, or before if you are willing to reveal things) what the old draws were. Or just keep the excitement and play another game with this setup in the future. I'm pre-assuming it will be awesome.
-
I guess I'll pull out... long posts are so energy-draining...
what.
what.
-
Also, I've probably had some beverages for the 21+ types (according to American rules football, which I still don't understand but apparently have agreed to attend a match of in a few months with my girlfriend who loves it. Yay stereotypes). I hope this doesn't become a problem with Mafia, I'm prone to late night (I'm in US; apparently Dominion is rightfully popular around the world--I have a German copy of Base, yay--so maybe this isn't even night to others) rants when I've imbibed. Well that certainly makes for more fun.
Signing off. Unless I don't. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Unless you aren't on the same side as I am. Then bad luck. Super bad telleveryoneyouknowbecauseitmakessuchagreatstory luck.

Sorry. See M7. I hope I didn't create a huge trouble for you...

nah, it's okay, we've still got enough; it's just way easier to add another card to the draw than it is to remove one.

Hah! That's awesome.
Ehunt had some epic drunkposting in Mafia VI, which actually ended up clearing him as town when before he seemed like a likely lynch. It's not a problem :)

No, if that were true you'd have a 8/10. I was figuring out if you typed it out naturally or lifted a quote from someone else.

Galzria is also confirmed town to you, but a miller to everyone else.
