Interested in playing Mafia?

Could I ever withstand the soft seduction of your voice my lady, my siren?

Your wish, my temptress, is ever my command. For your wish, mistress of my lust, decrees my actions as much as in the recluse of my sleepless dreams your beauty decrees my desires...

Uh, that was me replying to Proletariat, not to Seamus. Just so you know...

Yes mafia games are very fun and challenging. It would be fun to see some of the people who contribute to the backroom in a game would be interesting to say the least.

School officials still investigating 'Mafia'

RAYMOND -- The "Mafia" game that was played at Iber Holmes Middle School in June has been a controversial issue in the community, especially among parents.

Some were angry that their fifth-grade children were playing a game involving two sides, Mafia and Townspeople, and that the former group picks someone to "kill" at night while a narrator explains it to the class in detail

To those who are concerned about the game's effects on children -- paranoia, nightmares and fear of sleep have been mentioned -- Davidoff replied: "It is a game with strong social dynamics, and it readily adapts to the level of the players; the game itself is just a form that players fill with content and argumentation. So basically we are talking about scaring ourselves with our own stories."

I dread to imagine what these parents would have made of the Wanax.

Too late for me. Dungeons and Dragons as a lad destroyed me utterly as a person long before I'd ever heard of mafia. Far more "demonic" than the rock and roll that destroyed the baby boomers.

Seriously, though, in a world where people will devote effort to opposing the "Teletubbies," are you really surprised that folks would oppose this? Anything more controversial than Peter's incursion into the garden -- as written of by Ms. Potter -- will push someone's buttons.
