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.

I have half a mind to just engineer the next game to make you mafia.

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.

Either way, that sounds like it has a lot of potential to be really boring. Fingers crossed for a 13p game in January

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.

Oh okay, what the hell. Who needs responsibility, right?

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.

Baggage is LITERALLY the funniest show on television. We may or may not have watched ~50 episodes over the weekend. I'm in love.

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.

Oops, sorry! Meant voting. It's weird because people can scheme all day, but actual "play" involving the ability to vote only happens in the evening.

Kicking off game 2 in about ten minutes! People seem to be getting into it a little more this time around. I'm really excited to see how it goes.

On second though I could probably swing a start on the 11th or 12th... potentially a few days earlier, but with the understanding that I'd be all but useless for a couple days (finals, you know).

68
Any guess on about when this will start? I'd like to play but I can't do anything until after December 14th...

I keep telling him to post in there! I'm trying to read along and it's going so sloooooow.

To be fair, the last game I followed very closely was a MASSIVE one two summers ago and anytime I went more than an hour or so without checking for updates I would have PAGES AND PAGES to read.

Dsell, if you can be silly here, go be silly in BM14.

Also, manda, wtf for not signing up for games.

I'm entertaining thoughts of signing up (again, finally). But I can't add a game until Christmas break. Maybe Mafia and the Chocolate Factory. Dsell is always giving me crap about fizzling out in the last (and only) game I played. XD

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

I think you're confused about what qualifies as a hat.

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.

Hiding roles on the flip sounds good to me. I'm more inclined to say we do the IC rather than the doctor, but mostly because we've already done doctor and I'd like to try out/expose this group to a wide variety of roles.

I really really just want them all to like playing enough that we can get a big game going in January XD

I really like this idea!

I think that sounds good. It'll add some excitement that the last game seemed to be missing.

Alright so we're starting a new game tomorrow night, and I'm trying to figure out how to do the setup this time. Last game we had 7 players and we did 5 town (4 vt, 1 doctor) and 2 mafia (1 goon, 1 roleblocker). I can't decide if that was balanced and it was just really bad luck that they lynched the doctor day 1, or if the town was not strong enough. Unfortunately, I think 7 is as many as we can get to play this time as well. Thoughts?

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...

Looks like it's going to work well. We still have a couple group members who need to propose games to use, but I suspect that we'll end up using mafia for our big project. Basically we'll have the class break into groups of 10 and play a psychology-themed mafia, focusing on concepts of communication, feedback, and closed versus open systems. Should be fun. Now to write a paper about it.....
