Link please. My idea may be a bit different.

EDIT: Excuse me, i found it

EDIT: I am not making a mafia game. This is to be a diplomacy style game where you guys create nations and i smash them together in civ 4 while creating a story.

Here is something similar that i reccomend HIGHLY as a story on its own.

Orange and I are hoping to run a game at the end of May. It will be somewhat mafia-like but not exactly a mafia game. more details will be forthcoming but it really does need to be at the end of May, or else it won't work, because reasons.

I'm doing a game, basically mafia variant. This seems to be kind of an announcement thread, for when games are pretty much finished, or ideas from experienced gms, that people, y'know, trust. So I shook everything out and posted signups. just didn't want to post here until I think I know what I'm doing.

There are a lot of other games still going on, so I figure the signups will just take awhile. Also there may be fear, caused by having seen me play, but I made lots of rules.

Since there are posts here that are very similar to what we see when the games start, let me know if that's helpful too. This won't start until Patient Zero and hopefully other games are over -depending on whether World Wide Web War has started and if Escape II is still going on.

I'd like to put myself on the list of people to eventually host Mafia.

Phighter, or anyone else who might be interested, feel free to take over my game; I wouldn't mind if it's changed, and a couple people did some tremendously great opening character stuff. I'm not going to be able to, or most likely even play, so it would be great if anyone did. At the rate we've been having games unfinished (or in this case never started), we almost need a thread for adopting lost games.

While I'm honored to be name-dropped specifically, I can not run your game out of fairness to you because it's yours.

If the general public wants, however, I can start a game of Mafia up, though I will warn that my laptop is due to be sent away to be repaired so my posting times may be on the wonkier side, though I do have most of the constructs ready to go for a rather entertaining game (also it will help me test them for later).

We are due for a mafia but I'm not sure who is next to run one. I would check with Face The Citizen.

Ok, so I am not sure who plans on running games I am very bad at keeping track of things.

Anyway, I've got a game mostly ready to go-forum elimination style. So if you're in the queue please let me know so I have an idea of when to roll out sign ups.

Okay, I'm back. Had an idea, lost it, got a new one. Game should be ready by the time I am up on the list.

I'm thinking about running another mafia game. Just a simple one with bad guys and townies, no multi-teams or anything. But I have some ideas about roles, so there'd be some new stuff.

Would anyone be interested in that? Or think it's a really bad idea?

I think enough time has passed that it'd be fun.

If we have enough interest to go ahead (looking good so far), it'll be a Western theme, and I'll be co-running it with Nudge.
