    And if I might add my , if you haven't tried online mafia yet, there's no better way than in a Capo game hosted by Seamus!

    Mafia is fun, safe, and best of all, completely non-addictive!

    I have played mafia games before as you might know but 80 players seems too much to me, it was already confusing to read the thread of the first game. Oh and there were so many posts it could take hours to read up. How could I possibly analyze 80 players, not to mention to rather complex roleset.
    I'd like to play again, but I don't really want to invest hours a day. If you could live with me just skimming most posts and then spamming what I think, then we might have a deal.

    The solution is to save the web pages to your local drive to read at your leisure. I'm doing this in the latest TWC game I'm in, and it makes playing so much easier. Whenever I want to focus on a particular player, I just bring up the pages from the relevant period and find the posts by that person. If Tosa will allow the option of showing 100 posts per page, it will make things even easier. In the TWC game, when someone asked me why I was targeting a particular player, I copied and pasted all the posts by that player in my reply, taking around 5 minutes to compile the list. Admittedly I only went through 400 posts, but Ctrl+F does most of the work, while tabbed browsing keeps everything tidy.

    I have a 6MBit connection, loading pages is not the big problem, I just spend about an hour reading the Org every morning as it is, having to read 300 detailed mafia conspiracy posts and thinking about them in addition, would probably take another two hours and since I know myself, I'd actually be stupid enough to just do it before taking a shower, thus wasting 3 precious morning hours....

    [blablabla]

    Ok, Andres, I'll think about it, but please stop smoking.

    Maybe you guys should write something about when this game is expected to start and for how long it will run...
    People with schedules want to know.

    Good point Sigurd

    Here you go:

    Oh, and here are a few quotes from CDTC I :

    Great game Seamus - Kagemusha

    Great game! This one will go down in history for sure - Sasaki Kojiro

    Fantastic game to start off my Mafia career. Great fun, beautifully written, & sensibly moderated - WD Seamus - HughTower

    Definitely a fun game, and masterfully written and run Seamus - Xiahou

    Incredible game, major kudos to Seamus for running this thing - GeneralHankerchief

    Ah, a great one for my first mafia game. Thrilling to the last (...) I don't know how this one compares to other games, but I thought it was a total blast! - Louis VI the Fat

    Epic game, guys - Alexander the Pretty Good

    This was indeed an excellent game, supremely confusing and highly interactive. Kudos to Seamus Fermanagh for the excellent hosting! Your ideas were truly unique, and this has undoubtedly been the most vibrant mafia game the Org has seen! - Kommodus

    Without doubt, the best mafia game i have seen - pevergreen

    Seamus, I've said it before and I'll say it again; this was a great game - Crazed Rabbit

    Best...game...ever - CountArach

    Awesome game! - Ituralde

    Did it win any Gold Awards as well?
    Are there any forum game magazines who could give awards?

    The first game was so brilliant. The three mafias started by dominating the town, who really were suffering at first, then one of the families was basically wiped out in the second night. To replace it, some of the other guys and I formed up a fourth mafia family, which we then combined with the surviving member of the destroyed family. Another family was quickyl wiped out, then my family and the last remaining one started to kill one another - giving the town the victory.

    Such a brilliant game with so many twists and turns. I will never forget Andres reciving tons of votes... despite not actually being in the game...
    Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy
