You know you're hooked on Mafia when...

1. You have only played two games, and you already have ideas for advanced, multi-faction games you might like to mod.

[Razen]

2. You know that you have a midterm the next day and a paper to write and yet you are checking the game thread every five minutes so you don't miss anything instead of studying.

note to self: people are not trying to deceive you into anything in a normal everyday conversation. there is no bloody gambit

[hotpocket2006]

8. You literally dream about playing mafia. And then you wake up and check all your threads because obviously the dream was a sign from above.

 

9. You are waiting for something in the game to happen, ie a hammer vote on someone you need lynched, and you literally can't sleep and refresh the page after every 2 mins, just to see if your plan worked.

24. It's 12:30 AM on a Friday night, you're shit-faced drunk, and all you're doing is refreshing the DM Social Community page to see if Nolder responds to your exquisite case against him. And when he doesn't, you wake up every 2 hours to refresh the page on your Nook to see if he sobers up enough to finally do so. Which he doesn't. Hooray.

 

25. It's 3:30 AM, and while you're refreshing your DM Social Community page to see if Nolder replies to your case against him, you see that BG has SK'd you after completely convincing you that he's totally town. For the third time. Because he's BG. And that's what he does. Thanks BG.

[Songstress]

26. When you start to dislike weekends because other people have a life and are less active in mafia threads.

 

27. When you are tempted to turn every thread into a mafia game, no matter how it started. (Looking @ you, Player... I was actually going to reply to that vote on Reyler in the Fiddlesticks thread but I started overanalyzing how to respond, and before I could find something that looked logical enough to where I wouldn't be fingered as scum for it, Reyler had decided to lynch all of us, and the moment had passed.)

29. When you have multiple tabs open on your computer (one to each mafia game) and you NEVER close them.

[Basel Gill]

30. When you check a game in the morning to find that a hammer happened overnight, but the death scene hasn't posted and you have to leave for work before it does... when you get home, you stick dinner in the microwave and then leave it there getting cold until you learn how the lynchee flipped.

[SBoydW]

31. You've added a reason to this list.

and too true Basel, i've been late to many a thing because i just had to know who the lynchee flips.

 

 

32. when your interest in joining the political arena is up'd because you realize running for office is literally a real life mafia game.

[Perfexionist]

34. You hear about old "mafia goons" from American history and immediately associate their acts with mafia role powers.
