Pirateship Mafia Fan thread ^_^

I understand that the thread has been locked but after playing mafia for the first time and being a massive fan of low to nil-budget games :D I thought I'd start a fan thread.

Don't you boys ever tidy your rooms? I'm not sure if General Hankerchief maybe posted a list of 'confirmed' players rather than sign ups but this is what I tallied from the locked thread:

Signed up (11/50):
Reenk Roink (courteously in)
seirei "I still can't get over those lost 3 minutes" khaan
Sigurd Fafnesbane (don't anger him, he's a viking AND an AM)
YLC (wonders what those letters used to stand for) ~ ABsent?
Seamus "I graciously let GH steal half of my Capo ideas" Fermanagh
glyphz (Reenk's protege)
Rythmic (halfhearted pirate)
pever "I am one of the few who can truthfully state I actually bothered to read the rules" green – OUT!
Andres (probably wants all that referral treasure)
shlin28 (still operating off his BR3 high)
Aries "I can't be bothered to read the rules of the game I signed up for" 777777
Boudica

Johnhughthom
Kraven88
Jolt
CountArach
woad&fangs
Caius
TinCOw
WhiteEyes :D
Quintus J
Glenn
187Beefyz
Tiberius of the Drake

which makes 24. :)

..ish

I think it's weird to post a game (although I'm sure there may be extenuating circumstances) in November, and then postpone it to May.. would General Handerchief be willing to pass on the administrators reins? I don't want to wait til may:smash::laugh4:
If GH is agreeable, anyone else fancy a shot at GMing it?

It probably got locked because there weren't enough signups and it was designed to be a huge game. It's a shame, because I tried to do a huge game too but there weren't enough people in it, and it ended up only being 29.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I signed up, too. There tend to be more players when people are less busy in the Summer. Perhaps that's why GH is waiting until May.

Though I enjoy the rise of the new players, I also miss the old faces.
It'll be good if we can all play together again. :yes:

Im eagerly waiting for Pirate Ship to start

I had also signed up. I believe he simply quit adding names at a fairly early point in the process.

In the meantime I have some interesting things cooking in my kitchen...

Folks, this game is my baby and I fully intend to see it through. You can count on that. :yes: That said, it didn't look like we were getting 50, so out of courtesy to other hosts (since I was taking up a spot in the queue) I decided to postpone things until May. By then, it'll have been long enough where we can get a new group of players.

Also, had things started right when I posted the game, I would have been in deep trouble since I wouldn't have been able to devote much time to the game (due to real life), which I hadn't forseen before that. The mid-May start date was designed so that I'd have plenty of free time to devote to making sure that Pirate Ship Mafia is what it deserves to be.

With GH's last input, I see no reason to keep this thread open any longer.
We eagerly await a fantastic game around may.
