Also, since this thread seems to be a magnet, I'd like to remind everyone that's read/participated in the other Mafia games that the Mafia HoF 2006 is open. Remember, if you don't vote, then the mafia wins!

I AM IN!!!!
PS. did I make it?
Count me in - never knew people played Mafia at the org :skull:
Glad to have you all aboard.
Everyone: PLEASE go and recruit some more folks. We have a nice number now, but the game design for the 5 family version would need 60+, so I'd love triple our current numbers. I have these visions of a game starting slow for 1-2 nights but then featuring 15 attempted murders -- I think it'd be a wild challenge.
Sounds bloated, unwieldy, & completely OTT.
New (ish) to the org, and just found these - they look amusing.
Count me in.
I'm in
I will give it a try
I received several calls to join. I then went to a Chinese restaurant last night and when I opened the fortune cookie it had Seamus' name followed by the word 'join'. I think prudence dictates I not offend the Will of Heaven.
I'll join. :skull:
I am honored, Pindar.
I am also wondering who in the chinese resteraunt supply industry knows so much about me.:inquisitive: ...I hadn't thought any of the tongsmen would remember that incident in Sarawak......
OK, after some thought I'll try this one more time.
After all, you guys will need someone to lynch in the first round. :bounce:
Thank (or blame) Pannonian for persistence.
Ok, looks vastly complex and intriguing, so count me in!
I'm a sucker for punishment.
Can I join?
and what is the lynching exactly?
Lynching:When you think that person is mafia and thats the way of killing him
After each "night" phase of the game, all the players get to vote on who they think is a murderer. The person with the most votes is lynched/killed.Quote:

Mmm, lotsa recruits. This game is lookin' good... :yes:
Pannonian AND Seamus ask me to join? How can I refuse (even if I have no time these days). In! (I think I need to have my head examined).
Wow, a theres a lot of First time players now.
Also HughTower, these mafia games aint new,
This is gonna be best eva
Count me in!
It'll be my first mafia game. Time to discover what all the fuzz is about. :yes:
I'll play if recruiting is still open
Sorry - my post was ambiguous owing to lazy grammar. I'm new to the org, not the games.Quote:

We need more players?
Intriguing, and thank you for shattering my carefully crafted air of mystery.Quote:

Show me that answer for your Starter for 10.....
While we have enough players for the 3-family version of the game -- and thanks for your support -- we still lack the 60+ needed for the 5-family free for all. PLEASE try to recruit a few more folks -- all the new names here so far are a pleasure to see.
Recruting players...Quote:

Also, aside from congratulating the games master, I also wanted to reach my
