    Default Welcome! How about a mafia game?

    If you have ever played mafia, or if you have an interest in trying it, I am hosting a game in our Gameroom that needs lots of bodies -- pardon the pun -- for it to run in its ideal form. We all have a blast with these games, so please check it out.

    Do not reply here -- this is just a recruiting thread -- head for the gameroom.

    Thanks!

    A real-life party game that was transferred to the internet some time ago.

    Basically, everyone that plays is part of a "town" and that town is under attack. A certain amount of people in the town are in the mafia, and it is their job to eliminate everyone else in the town. The normal townspeople strike back by "executing" who they think is in the mafia by majority vote.

    It's a fun game and I think I did a bad job of summarizing it, so here's the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28game%29

    Mafia is the basis for all other games, including the totalwar series.

    Don't worry about dying. According to the rules, this does NOT prevent your further participation in my (or most) games. Does take away your vote, but you get to post your revengeful thoughts.

    Any junior members having trouble seeing/signing into it, PM Sasaki Kojiro with your request. He's the mafia moderator!

    Come on and give it a try!

    Just cause you're new to the forum does NOT mean you'll be like a troop of peasants facing Swiss pikes!

    Hi there, from what Wikipedia has to say, Mafia sounds like amazingly fun. I have tried to post in the Gameroom and join a Mafia game, but I get a message saying I cannot access the forum. I'm sorry for asking another newbie question and wasting you're valuable time, but has it got anything to do with my newbie "Junior Member" status?

    Yes, it does.

    Your best bet would be to PM the moderator of the Gameroom, Sasaki Kojiro asking to be put in the game.

    And welcome to the Org!

    I'm awfully sorry to be an annoying burden to everybody, but how do you PM and what is PM? I'm terribly sorry that I am so noobish.

    PM = Private Message (as in not a public post such as this).

    Go to the main page of forums and look up Sasaki Kojiro.
    Once you open his profile, one of the buttons will say "PM" on it.
    Click it and it should open up for you.

    Alternatively, you could just go to the private messages screen using the "jump" scroll at the bottome of the page, type in Sasaki's Name (put in the first 5 and it'll give you a list with his name on it) and then put your request in the message. He'll square you up.

    Sign-up will continue til at least Monday AM.

    On the top right of the page, there should be a little box that says "Private Messages." Click it, and on the left menu click "Send New Message."

    After one of the other mafia games end. There is always atleast one big game going usually two. Once Graffiti Mafia is done then Kommodus should be hosting a game. Graffiti should be done within the next week unless voting gets sticky.
