***UPDATE: THE GAME HAS NOW BEGUN. NO MORE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. SORRY.***
I thought the Frontroom would be interested in this game, so I've decided to run one. Mods, if you have any objections then I apologize and feel free to axe me.
Here are the rules:
Description:The Frontroom is a peaceful village (kingdom?) that has recently been terrorized by the local mafia, who are killing more townspeople every day. Distraught, the townspeople try to find out which nasty people are doing the deed, and name several people who they think did the crime. If a majority of the townspeople agree, those people go off to be executed. The game wins when the mafia manage to kill everyone in the village (Mafia victory) or if the townspeople successfully execute all the mafia members (Townspeople victory).
-Post if interested/willing to participate. The number of posters will make me determine the number of mafia members.
-Once I determine the number of mafia members (probably 4 at most) I shall start the game, and not accept any new players. This is done for my sanity, mind.
-I will then randomly PM a number of posters and say that they are the mafia. I will also provide these lucky, lucky people with the names of their counterparts in order to ensure that no people in the mafia kill each other. Their job is to PM me every session and give me the name of one user that they wish to "kill."
-Once all four mafia members have PM'd me I shall announce the kills to the villagers. It is now their job to name the people who they think did it. The most-named people over a span of roughly 24 hours will be executed.
-Mafia members get more powerful as their numbers dwindle. Forinstance, if the game started out with four mafia members and only one remains, that person will still kill four people in one session. That way you do not know how many mafia people are left.
-If the mafia members/to be killed ratio does not come out even (for example, four people to be killed but only three mafia members) the remaining mafia members will rotate having two kills, alphabetically based. For example, if Abokasee, GeneralHankerchief, and Zorba were left, Abokasee would get two kills on the first day, then me, then Zorba. I will NOT remind you about this so stay sharp.
-If two or more mafia members select the same person to kill, that stinks for that one person. So don't be surprised if Beirut is the only one killed on the first day.
-When you are dead, either having been killed or executed, you no longer can play. You can speculate about who killed you, but that's it. Your vote no longer counts.
-Keep in mind that this is the Frontroom. Just because you were killed/executed is no excuse for going on a flaming rampage. If you feel compelled to do so, I suggest heading on over to the Babe Thread, which will surely calm you down.
Please post if interested. Thanks, and have fun!

Sweet! I haven't played this game in ages. Count me in.
Ok, I'll bite.
Good initiative.
Good initiative.
I wanna be a made man. Accept me into the family, Don Hankerchief.
I'll give it a go. Trying to get more active in the site. This will give me a reason to come more often. Count me in.
I want in!
It's a little known fact that I am related to Fat Tony...
I mean, nothing.

-ignore-
It's one of them Alexanders, I just know it. I'll vote for Pretty Good, since he was known among his mafioso friends as Alex Pretty Boy Floyd ...
Why is my honorable exit not mentioned in you chronicles ?
Lol.
"Oh no! Two members of the town have been murdered!"
"Where is Mithrandir?"
"Mithrandir? Eh, he's slumped over his desk, apparently killed himself or something. Stupid bloke."
"Man, always thought that guy was a little nutty."

Oh great. I'm like the disposable security guard on Star Trek who inevitably gets killed before the first commercial after beamning down to Seti Alpha 6 with Spock and the captain. -If two or more mafia members select the same person to kill, that stinks for that one person.

I'll sit this one out and just ref.
*BKS, on the other hand, stands ready to be iced, bagged, and tied to a cement block before a nice dip in the Thames.
To the tune of Hush Little Baby
Swim BKS try not to sink
The mob's going to plop you in the drink
Now you've got the sleeping with the fishes blues
You said no to an offer you can't refuse
Sign me up.
This sounds great.I would be happy to play this game.
I'm interested in playing.
Sounds good... sign me up !

Redshirt! That just came to me. Oh great. I'm like the disposable security guard on Star Trek who inevitably gets killed before the first commercial after beamning down to Seti Alpha 6 with Spock and the captain.

That's probably smartest. I was figuring it out, and most likely you'll be killed first round. Even if you survive, people will immediately suspect you're in the mafia and have you axed. I happily endorse your decision, but I suspect a large amount of Frontroomers just went "Aww!
" To everyone else, I'm glad there's such a reception. I'll keep it open for another day or two and then we can start!
I want to play.
And I'll make you an offer you can't refuse...
And I'll make you an offer you can't refuse...
Put my name down as a potential person thing.
As indicated by my robes I already have my day filled with being a red shirt. So like Beirut I will watch the babe thread instead.
count me in sounds like a laugh
