Mafia: Discussion, History and Waiting List Thread

[Varun]

Ok, I'll do some work on the roles and start a thread for Mario Puzo mafia soon. I'm going to want 16+ players though; it's not worth doing it with only 10.

Then I reckon you gauge the interest before starting the game.

I'll give it a shot, Colin.

btw, I'm thinking of just making a normal mafia game, with roles and that's it, no clues in the writeups. Just an old fashioned game of mafia (with different roles of course). So I'll be happy to run it in any free time period since I won't have to put a huge deal of effort into hosting.

Please, can you update the index with description?

I'm thinking of running another classic mafia game, if nobody wnats to run any game yet. Maybe I'll make a sign-up thread in a few hours

 

[Varun]

Count me in.

 

[ved_]

Well yea, the first post can be updated, can't it? Mario Puzo mafia running? LOL

 

[Gaurav_7]

Don't worry, it will be. Colin's the stat man, he will do it.

Anybody who's not playing the CMR2 mafia, can PM me for the link to spectator QT. I would like input from others as well.

 

[barmyarmy]

Sure. You can send it to me.

barmyarmy, can you be bothered a bit by updating the first post? It kinda bugs me every time to look at Mario Puzo mafia still going on.. lol

 

[puddleduck]

Hey guys, I'll either set one up on Monday after the weekend, or Adi's gonna set one up before then

 

[barmyarmy]

I want to run another anonymous mafia at some point.

I want to run another anonymous mafia at some point.

I would love to play one as in the first one I was a mod (only for namesake ) and it should be fun!

The first one was plagued with inactivity, with many players seeking replacements (and not to mention the co-mod, User2010 going inactive ). Although activity improved later in the game, it was still nowhere near the activity you see in a normal mafia game. Ironically, the recently concluded Mini-mafia has had more posts than the anonymous mafia.

There were numerous reasons for the inactivity - all in all, most inactive players found it arduous to log in and check back on the forum and got bored as well. This all points to the fact that we're not accustomed to it, and therefore the initial games might suffer.

So Colin you need to make sure that that doesn't happen in your game.
