Sasaki, I think those two reasons are both accurate. The lack of a deadline has two effects: because there's no deadline in getting PM's sent in, and because there are so many roles, it necessarily takes longer for all the moves to be made. In addition, because there's no deadline in voting, and because a majority is needed to lynch, voting can go on for a long time before any decisions are made. The idea of giving everyone an interesting role was a noble one, but it needed stricter controls to make it work.

By my count there are two games currently going on: Sasaki's current game, and GH's new Mafia IV game. (If you count Mini-Mafia there are three.) Therefore I'm not going to start my game until one of them ends, as I agree with the guideline proposed here.

I'm glad to see you will be hosting a game then, Kommodus.

My two mafia games are almost over (5 people left in each). I bet they'll be over by the time your signups are complete.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Actually this is fairly interesting. The Mafia have won the last 4 games straight. I wonder how General Hankerchiefs town will fair.

We ought to have a statistics board of all the mafia games, showing how many times the mafia have won, and how many times the villagers have won.

Yes, I see that they have in fact ended, making GH's Mafia IV the only current game. Very well, I'll begin mine within a couple of days.

I am thinking of starting a mafia game, so put me down in 6th spot if that's alright.

**Csargo** · 10-13-2006, 04:26

So are we going to have two mafia games going at once?

The Godfather: Part 2 coming soon. I will most likely start it a while into Komm's game so that it has lots of interest in the first few rounds. Orb, may I politely ask that you do the same with regards to mine?
