Can... can it be true? Is Four really coming back?
Looks like town has day 2 tied up pretty nicely.... Dsell is the cop and he's had the mafia nailed from the beginning.
Wut wut! I'm discovering that I'm quite a bit better at playing town with people I know.
Literally every person is like "omg you're impossible to read omg you're so good at this game I'm so intimidated."
This is really fun. :>
My resistance meta of being a fairly undetectable spy is carrying over, even though I've been town in both games.
Oh look town won.
Verdict on 7-person real-life mafia.... it's lacking a lot. Both sides can win in two days and one night under optimal conditions. It's still fun, but I'm really hoping we can get a bigger game going.
You could go with one mafia. That'd be either a really fast or really slow game.
Count my spot as open if there's someone else interested with a better schedule. Don't let me get in the way of the game starting.
Manda, how about we count your spot as IN so we can start the game? We're okay with you just posting a few times a day.
Are you wanting to start it now? I REALLY can't start until after Thanksgiving.
But really, it's like this.
You confirm in. Yuma gets PMs out tonight or tomorrow. We have at 24-48 hours of pre-game for mafia to chat, etc. Game starts up and it's what, Saturday night? Sunday? You post once or twice a day Sunday-Thursday, and it's all of a sudden post-Tgiving.
No pressure.
I have watched an embarrassing amount of the show Baggage this weekend. It's a super ridiculous dating gameshow where all the contestant's air their worst "baggage" (I only bathe once every two weeks! I wear a tiara ALL of the time! I am 150k in debt and jobless! I scream in my sleep!) that they're bringing to the relationship. And it's HILARIOUS. Extra ridiculousness points for being hosted by Jerry Springer.

They hit scum day 1 this time! Things are looking up for town.
They lynched an hour and a half into the game?
The game started late last night. We've had all day to talk, and we all came together earlier this evening to vote. Voting took 45 minutes to an hour.
Huh. Manda said at 10:51 p.m. that the game was tarting in 10 minutes, then at 12:21 a.m. that they lynched scum. Here it looks like two hours. Weird.
I keep telling him to post in there! I'm trying to read along and it's going so sloooooow.
Dsell, if you can be silly here, go be silly in BM14.
Also, manda, wtf for not signing up for games.
And...roles are being assigned! We are going with Ashersky's version with the IC. I only know this because she's sitting next to me drawing names from a hat. XD
Ash, what do you think of Archetype's suggestion here:I think its balanced. At least, for real life Mafia. If you want more roles, I think 3 Vanilla Townies/Town Cop/Town Doc/Mafia Roleblocker/Mafia Godfather could work well IRL.
It mitigates the Doctor/Cop brokenness by including a roleblocker. It looks fun to me. The main difference is trading the in-the-spotlight pressure on the IC for the behind-the-scenes pressure on the doctor. Probably both are good, and I think that hiding the roles on the flip prevent the doctor from being OP in both scenarios.

I really like this idea!
Also, inspired by that game and the forum mafia I've read, I'm doing a class project tonight that uses mafia games to teach cybernetics and systems theory concepts, so that's fun...
