I have had a few questions regarding recruiting etc.
First: The Incorruptible Townie role has been dropped. It is now harder for Townies to follow the path of evil in order to encourage a majority to defend the town, but only a few "power" town roles are locked into serving the town without choice, just as only the starting mafiosi etc. are locked into an anti-town role. Capo is about the freedom of choice and the price you pay for those choices.
Second: How you recruit is largely up to you. The game is built around one member or more of your team scanning the status of another player and, based on that status, someone contacting them in order to recruit them. Nothing is certain in Capo, and that makes this part of the game absolutely crucial. If your townie sub-team or mafia family doesn't recruit, it will waste away or be culled, but if you do recruit you risk infiltration and betrayal. Of course, handling infiltrators is a science of its own....
The HOW of this recruitment has been quite varied. We have had discovered mafiosi posting openly in the thread for potential recruits to PM them prior to death so that they could be contacted; we've had Dons send PMs via people who weren't playing (Andres, then not a part of the Gameroom, was such a go-between once and he ended up the leading candidate for lynching one day for most of the voting, until the players belatedly realized that he wasn't in the game at all); the most common method is tentative PM exchanges or interactions via chat. Both mafia families and townie sub-teams have been infiltrated, sometimes simultaneously. Other teams formed tight trust bonds and went the whole way almost without a hiccup.
If you think that means that most of Capo happens "off screen" then you are quite correct. All part of the charm....![]()

Whassa WOG?
Almost always due to conspicuous and long-lasting lack of activity.
I make a further tequest: that people with kitten avatars join our team.

Instigators and temptation won, I'm IN!
returning to the shadows.....
I think I will have to cap the game at 130, for sanity's sake.
Once we have reached that total, subsequent players will be listed as reserves on a first come first served basis. Also, once we reach that level, players currently on the active list who would prefer to be reserves may so indicate to the host by PM, whereupon I will bump up the first name or names currently on the reserve list.
Thanks again for all the support.

Actually, I did reply. I fixed your account based on your email and responded, but my response to you got kicked back by AOL. AOL is blocking all emails from both the Org's automated email verification system and my personal email accounts. It appears to be an AOL/gmail issue, as both of the accounts are running on gmail.
