Askthepizzaguy Mafia II: The Revengening [Sign-ups]

[B-Wing]

I have created an account on a forum concerning a game that I have never played nor owned solely so I can play a Mafia game composed of 50 people, most of whom I do not know. I am in. Also, can someone fill me in on this betting thing mentioned in the OP?

Awesome myth. :) I created my first account on this forum so I could play mafia, too. I was a Total War fan already, though; just hadn't had any reason for an account up until I discovered Mafia.

As for the betting system, I think he will explain it in detail once the game officially begins in the main Gameroom subforum.

[Bow-wow-wow]

I hope I'm not too late but I really want in.

I also PMed you ATPG.

I certainly will. In fact, I've been toying with the idea of a (brief) instruction "manual" for this game, to explain the differences between it and regular mafia games, and generally the basics of what you need to know to play.

I'll separate that from the rules, because often times I find I put instructions on how to play the game in the rules, and they should be separate.

Myth, I am sure you'll find yourself most welcome here. A lot of folks in this very game are people I invited from other forums to come play, when they started, they didn't know very many people. Now, they're part of the family.

So long as you show up and vote, and don't just abandon the game (it happens sometimes!), I know everyone will make you feel welcome.

Thanks friend!

I should "officially" have enough people, but now begins the process of purging inactive folks from the sign-up sheet and signing on serious reserve players.

Now all that remains is I have roughly 30% of the Role PMs to finish writing, and then I will randomize the roles, and then I will post the rules, the instructions, and the opening story.

This process will still take several days. Please keep your eyes peeled. When you get your role PM, that means the game is about to begin or has begun.

[Winston Hughes]

I'll sign up as a reserve.

[johnhughthom]

I'll sign up as a reserve.

What? How can a game this awesome not have the awesomeness that is Winston Hughes? Too slow man, too slow.

[Subotan]

Arrgh I never got round to bugging arpTHIS to play.

I'll go bother him now

[Askthepizzaguy]

Arp is already on zee list, but I wasn't sure if he's still in or not.

[Ironside]

I'll sign up as reserve in case I'll be needed.

Edit: That of course means that I'll take a normal slot if available.

[landlubber]

Confirming my sign-up.

[thefluffyone93]

Hoo boy, I thought you left me out on the list!

I was about to barrage you with large obnoxious multi-colored expletives until I double-checked and
realized you listed me as "Fluffyone".

[Frozen In Ice]

Unfortunately, I will not be able to play in this ATPG. RL is just going to be too hectic for the next month for me to have the time.

[Earthling]

With all the folks who've over timed joined CFC just to play mafia figured to return the favor. Looks to be a great game and confirming I'm in.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That's okay, and well anticipated. I will have someone to replace you, don't worry.

Welcome, Earthling, and everyone else who joined just for this game.

I anticipate I will have at least 5 more slots. I haven't gotten much response from the un-bolded names on my list, which means they aren't active on the .org or aren't interested in play.

So, consider it at 45/50 presently.

[Subotan]

I shall go bother ACIN and arpTHIS now and furiously

[Askthepizzaguy]

I shall go bother ACIN and arpTHIS now and furiously

Indeed. If ACIN's ban is lifted, I want him back in.

I also miss Arpeggiate, he's my sweet and lovely.... something.

(THIS, perhaps.)

[Visor]

You know I'm in, I suppose, just confiming.

Hopefully I don't get a role like the one JHT gave me.... :P

Man, kids these days. You give them a challenge...

If you have any trouble filling up to the magic fifty I am available to be used like a square peg in a round hole.

I will, my friend. It does appear as though I'll still be like 4-5 players short at this point, given the lack of response from the unbolded names on my list.

But at least my Arpeg is in!

[a completely inoffensive name]

Back from my 4 day ban, I'm definitely in. Will try to stay out of trouble during this duration.

[Askthepizzaguy]

*groan* People are reading and not responding to my invites. I can't host this game with less than 50 starting players. Every role is important to someone's team.

I would really hate to scrap this game, does anyone know anyone who can play?

[Subotan]

How many are needed?

[Askthepizzaguy]

How many are needed?

I need about tree fiddy.

According to my sign up sheet, I need five players, because I am assuming everyone who has been inactive for a week is not going to suddenly and miraculously become active in time for this game.

I'll send out another wave of invites. I'm kinda sad that many of the usual mafia players on this forum seem to be avoiding my game.

:( <----sad face

[Subotan]

I'll see if I can draft invite some players from another forum where I've just started playing mafia.

Oh, high risk for never showing up players. Yikes.... I mean if they would take the game seriously, sure.

I do have a solution. The same solution I had when I had so much inactivity and dropouts in my StarFox game.

Those who die early on, and are not mafia, will replace the inactive people in my game. And the reserves can be reserves until later on.

And so it is written in the book of Pizza that the solution to a lack of players has been found: I simply clone the players I do have and cross my fingers that folks like Sasaki and Split will wake up from their dream state so I don't have to replace them.

I see if my brother and some of my clannies can play .

[GamezRule]

You drafted recruited me from another forum. ;)

[Askthepizzaguy]

I see if my brother and some of my clannies can play .

I certainly don't mind if he does. I do recall, in the last game of mine he was in, he dropped out. Do you think he will be free enough to play, and if he forgets, can you (gently) remind him?

If so, welcome him aboard. I gots to have my players.

You drafted recruited me from another forum. ;)

Yes, but you impressed me with your activity and interest in the other game. I feel confident you won't ditch me.

New players have like a 50% dropout rate, so I'm always worried about that. Still, at this point, if I could get half of the people I need, that's still better than no one at all.

I'm trying to get Split to ignore real life and get back to mafia.
That durned college can be distracting......
And he apparently has taken a liking to climbing trees......

Tell Split that his soul mate needs him badly.
