Um...

Am I allowed to say they all recruited me equally?

Too much pressure for me.



Also I love these emote things. A+

bea, are you sure you don't have to know about the show to play? No competitions based on show trivia or knowledge needed to answer night polls or anything like that?

oh, I see you might have enough players

Yay Turnip Head!!!!

And JC, we need 30 players, according to BWT, even though last I checked there were only 28 roles showing. So... you should totally play!!

I'm.almost.positive.jc _ I will let.testiest.say forbsure

Ok, as long as it holds that you don't really have to know about the show. I'm in.

Yay!!!

Only 1 more!!

I know very little about the show as well juliets. Here is my knowledge: They have different doctors and companions. There is a blue phone booth thing called the Tardis. And there is some time travel. I know of a redhead chick named Amy Pond and something called the weeping angels (My roles from previous Dr Who themed games haha)

The angels have the phone box.

Speaking of which, the angels would have made an epic baddie team.

For fans of both Doctor Who and Deltron 3030 (probably very few), does anyone else think that would be the most epic sci-fi mashup ever? Seriously. If anyone could write funky sci-fi hip hop about the Doctor and still somehow make it sound awesome, it'd be Del.

Okay, I'm obviously nerding out over this theme, where is that last person???

Oh I feel much better! Thats about the same level of knowledge as I have!

Ture. That first angels episode was one of my favorite and definitely one of the creepiest.

"Blink and you're dead!"

Yeah, agreed, it's probably even my favorite, or at least up there. But I haven't seen every Doctor Who episode ever, so, my favorite of those I've seen.

I count 28 roles?

So do I, but apparently 28 players isn't enough.

Random factoid: This is now the sign-ups thread with the most amount of replies out of any on TS.

Random Factoid #2~ MP has almost twice as many posts in this thread as the next highest poster.

That shouldn't be surprising.

Also, I had more posts in the second largest sign-ups thread (WWE) than I do here, so my random factoid is still interesting. :P

Shouldn't you be studying?

S~V~S wrote:Shouldn't you be studying?

Yes.

To be fair, I've spent practically every second studying that I haven't been on here, sleeping, eating, or talking to Annie/family on Skype, so... I've accomplished a lot this weekend.

But yeah, I still should be.

You've also recruited far more people than everyone else. You greedy little snob. :P

Gotta show 'em how it's done.

It has come to my attention that mafia is the only source of fun that I have. I'm playing because while productivity is nice, so is being sane. Lezzgo.

YES!!! You're the man, Made! And you show complete understanding of the necessary relationship between schoolwork and mafia.

Let's get this show on the road!

Guys, I still got another friend who might want to play. Bea said she'd make space for any extra players we got, but I still wanna make sure it's ok. MP, she's making an account rn, so if you have any accounts to approve it's probably her

Awesome!!!

How do I sign up


IM IN

You say "I'm in" and vote on the fancy votey thing at the top of this page.

Welcome btw

And it looks like birdwithbea needs another role.

Welcome to The Syndicate, Nikki!!!

Can't wait to start this game!!!!

Thank you!

Hmmmmm...so we added an extra person? I'm fine with it. Bea and I are going to have to talk about what we want to do about this tomorrow. Once we get it figured out, I'll start getting roles out to everyone. But more likely than not, the game will start either tomorrow night or Tuesday morning at the latest.

BOO! It should start now!!!!!

But seriously, that sounds like a plan.

More people incoming, apparently... people on IRC are liking the idea of Mafia.

You don't mean even more people want to play, do you? Because if there are more, I'm afraid I will have to say no to them. I already wasn't anticipating an extra person, but I'm willing to work with it if it's only one.

I'm really tired right now, so I could be reading your post the wrong way.

Oh, that is what I meant. Sorry, Bea mentioned the other day that she'd make space for anyone who wanted to play, so today while Mafia was being discussed and people showed interest I told them that they could sign up for the game.

Don't worry about it, though. There's also sign ups for a speed game right now and it can't be too long until Monty Python ends and we get another full game. Really looking forward to this

Awesome, more people!!! Well, there's Clue: The Movie, and another full game sign-ups after Monty is over and this one gets going, so I say, bring them on!!

What I really want to know is: Where were these people earlier this weekend when we so desperately needed more for this game????!!!! :P

MovingPictures07 wrote:What I really want to know is: Where were these people earlier this weekend when we so desperately needed more for this game????!!!! :P

under the misconception that mafia was like party mafia and that they would be playing for a solid hour rather than over the course of weeks :/

Oh, okay.

So this isn't over the course of an hour? How do you play this then?

Nikki908 wrote:So this isn't over the course of an hour? How do you play this then?

Full games, like this one, typically run over the course of 4-5 weeks. Speed games are more like 2 weeks. It depends on the host and also each game's setup though, so that is really just a generalization.

Day periods last 48 hours; night periods last 24.

Here are some reference threads that might help:

Intro to Mafia
Intro to Hosting (this doesn't regard playing, but still may be a useful reference)

Hopefully that's a good starting point. And of course, I as well as many others are always happy to answer specific questions!

Oh, and speed game days last 24 instead of 48 hours, but that's not relevant for this game you're about to play. It's just pretty much the difference between full and speed games, other than the number of players being smaller for a speed game as well. There are some other details in the links, whatever questions you have left over I'm sure I or someone else can field before or once the game's started!

NIKKI!!!!!! I love your avatar Nikki, for real it is so amazing. I hope you have fun here!
