And suddenly, it all went so fast

[B-Wing]

Point is, Monty Monty can still join up, rather than going on the reserve list.

Monty Monty? Kumquat thinks with one is enough!

I thought it was obvious that I was joking.

Now laugh like a hyena! GUFFAW!!!

[Montmorency]

No, there are indeed 30 signed-up.

But given Andres' precedented grace in admitting over the limit, I suppose I'll sleep in a dark wet cave full of spiders.

[B-Wing]

Now laugh like a hyena! GUFFAW!!!

According to Wikipedia, hyenas are capable of "producing a number of different sounds consisting of whoops, grunts, groans, lows, giggles, yells, growls, laughs and whines". Guffaw is not listed. And I have no idea what a "low" is. I also learn that there are actually 4 distinct species of hyena (of which, brown hyenas are by far the ugliest).

And while I'm getting educated, I did a recount and, dadgummit, Monty Monty Monty was right; this game is at capacity.

Guffaw: n. a loud and boisterous laugh

What is this, if not loud and boisterous?

[Andres]

Ok, one extra body doesn't matter so much. Montmorency is in. But that's the last one!

I'll start this game tomorrow around this time.

Roles at the start-up:

- the 4 Grmphs
- the healer
- 3 mafiosi with two kills each night at start-up
- one special/secret role
- the wise old man

Players may or may not get an extra role above their starting role during the course of the game. You may or may also get some added flavour to your role. However, your alignment will always remain the same.

[Csargo]

Let's see...

Invitation from Lord Andres? Check.
My favorite no-longer-named-for-a-bleach-character Texan? Check.
My totally heterosexual life partner in crime already signed up? Check.

[Chaotix]

Oh god what's with all the name changes lately?

Where did all of you get the idea that you can just change your name whenever you want and there will be no consequences??

[El Barto]

• Andres is the game host
• He actually sent out invites
• Andres is our Lord and Master and could strike us down with thunderbolts or beer cans at any time.

1+1+1 = 30 players

Heh, you're using trinary notation!

Monty Monty? Kumquat thinks with one is enough!

Yet another name changer. You offer me cat meat, you dare to win my game, and now this. You, sir, along with the aforementioned Cæsarian tribune of the Plebs, shall be lynched as soon as possible.

I thought it was obvious that I was joking.

Now laugh like a hyena! GUFFAW!!!

With the GM and some returning old players, we'll be seeing more mad cackling and maleficent laughter than mere guffawing, but this is a good warm-up for the real thing.

[seireikhaan]

I have absolutely no idea. The nerve of some people, honestly.

I have no idea

[Darth Feather]

I have no idea

Death to you, Jarema yay Jarrema!!


Your feelings awards betray you!!

[Makrell]

well, you know what they say of people who change their names

[Jarema]

well, you know what they say of people who change their names

no, I do not.
what?

[LazyMcCrow]

They say: 'vote: Yay!'

[Makrell]

no, I do not.
what?

they are twice in the random.org lists

[edse]

What's a "Grmph"?

[Andres]

What's a "Grmph"?

Well, I've already written the role pm's, but if you can come up with something creative, like a story or a description that starts on the premise "Grmph", I might consider adding it to the story.

[TinCow]

This is a Grmph:

[Andres]

Looks more like a wise old man to me.

Bueh! You gave me this name, I use it as a tribute to you and your game, and about the menu, well I think you already know there are a large variety of consumable cats around here... and you don't need to chew on them...

[johnhughthom]

I demand an inquest into how the technical admin managed to hack into my photobucket account, and steal my graduation photo. A gross invasion of privacy.

At least you are photogenic...

[B-Wing]

Looks more like a wise old man to me.

I actually recognize that photo from TheLastDays' game A Country for Old Men. Good times.

I'd like to think a Grmph is similar to a Grue, which sounds appropriate for this setting. 3 mafia and 4 chaotic evils versus 24 townies. I like the odds.

I don't know why, but I'm ridiculously excited about this game. When do you think we shall begin, Andres, gracious host?

[Andres]

And Suddenly, it all happened so fast - Day 0

The Grmph's were staring outside the window, staring at the desolate landscape.

They didn't talk.

Memories were haunting them. Memories of things that should not be spoken off. That wasn't why they kept silent, but in the end, maybe their silence was for the best.

There was nothing outside. Nothing, except death, pain and loneliness. Perhaps the loneliness was the worst part. Good company made every burden easier to carry.

Not that there was "good company" inside this room. Sure, these were all good people and before the disaster, they would have been good company. But in this world, in the end, it was each for his own.

There were no bounds. No friendship. No love.

But there were cigarettes, booze and food. The Grmph's turned away from the room and became part of the illusion.

***

And kick-off!

The game will start with a night phase. As a courtesy to the players who were so eager to join, the mafia will, exceptionnaly, only get 1 kill on their first night. The player who gets killed, will become "The voice of the skully" and will get a say in how the executions are to be performed.

[HopAlongBunny]

Time to get this baby underway!

Vote: Lynch!

[johnhughthom]

Vote: B(ig)-Wang

[Zack]

I like it when people vote during the Night phase, because it gives me the opportunity to make a witty, condescending remark. Such as the following:

Hey, it's night! ... (punchline)*

*NSFW

EDIT: Yes, I know it's not very witty, that's the joke.

[B-Wing]

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grmph.

The player who gets killed, will become "The voice of the skully" and will get a say in how the executions are to be performed.

You mean they get to be Gillian Anderson?! These may be the sexiest executions ever seen in Mafia.

BTW jht, thanks for revealing my stage name to everyone.
