Yay welcome back Zander! Times have moved non and we can just click buttons to format red and bold. Which is a heck load easier than it used to be. It's lovely to see you!

Omg. That's so dumb! But awesome that you figured it out and must be a secret landscape user @HeavyHalfMoonBlade

Yay @dicetosser1 you made it! And OMG welcome back @Sooh It's so nice to see you both! Welcome to the game 😉

Scooped up @dicetosser1 and he's in! Cos he lives in the upside down, he'll log on later to say hi so PMs and the game start will probably be tomorrow - it's 2am here now lol So, I'm off to bed and I'll check in here, in my morning, to see if we have 9 people ready to play.

I think @Millon said he knew someone who wanted to play. This is the perfect set of people to learn the game. All nice and friendly. You could almost imagine that no one will die at all.

We're getting close to numbers now, so I guess I'd best start planning out some PMs.

@Donchadh joins the game. YAY! So sorry I missed your earlier post. I was in the middle of other stuff and it's so hard to keep a track of who is saying what in which thread. But it's so good that you are going to come play. And hey ... then you can start to add Mafia siggys

I'm gonna take that as a sign up We can all learn and remember together

Well he said he barely remembers how to play. You think he was bluffing? And of course we'd love to have some more players. Probs stop at 9 though, to keep it a proper Basic game

You absolutely can! And don't get excited kids, but @Dread_Pirate_Roberts DPR says he can't make this game but he absolutely will try to make the next one we have. So you all need to learn good.

How did he do the cross out?

Welcome to the game Mills 💙 Yeah seemed like an appropriate theme lol Vote me?! But I'm not evil at all

Go tap away and we'll all reach these youngsters how to suck at Mafia lol

Series 2 was much better, but having to do a load of rewrites half way through series 1 didn't help. I already binged watched both series. I'm so ready for series 3. It's not perfect. Even LOTR trilogy wasn't classed as perfect at the time. And GOT apparently changed so many things. Hopefully one day there will be a real ending to that and a book reader will tell me what should have happened. But as a TV show based on a book series I really like, it's good and I enjoy seeing the people and places come to life.

@LedZepMan was about in my day! And @Hallia and @Shad_ Shad still has the same picture Do I know Loki?

That's pretty much it atm. When we start actually playing you'll have more to go on. As people die you'll think, why did that person get chosen. What did that person say about x y and z and then you'll start forming suspicions and opinions

As long as you don't lynch me, before the game even starts, we'll be fine 🙂 That's a really good Mafia post @HeavyHalfMoonBlade it looks like it's saying a lot whilst saying nothing at all. You're clearly a natural at this game 🙂

I thought it was first poster? So ridiculous

Yay @ Turin and @Cairos Thats 4 now. Ages for me now. Gone of the days of the super mega 24 player multi role games. Let's all learn how to play again tomorrow, with a nice friendly Basic game. I'll think up a scenario But look what I found. Remember @Tiinker asking why we had a baguette emoji.

Basically Turin loves this game so I thought I'd try and get one going. Oh, and when you play you have to remember that the game forces people to lie, so they can win. There should be no personal attacks, but there will be things like, ah ha! But you said this the other day and now you are saying this so that means you are Mafia! And some old school players will say Scum instead of Mafia. It's not name calling, it's just another term for the Mafia team.

Hey Heavy! Hey Andy Yeah it's a fun game and I will be running the Drama Free version So they'll be a number of people playing Some will be Town. Some will be Mafia. Mafia know who is on their team. Town will not know who is on their team. The Town initially outnumber the Mafia. During the Day Phase you all talk. Try to see if you can get any tells from people or suspicions. At the end of each Day phase, everyone votes on who they think is a member of the Mafia team. You need a Majority to lynch someone. They die. Then it goes into the Night phase. During the night the Mafia team can choose to kill someone. They do this via a team PM to the mod. Sometimes there are special Town characters, who can take actions at night. One of these would be the Cop. They can ask the mod, via PM, if a certain player is Mafia. They will get an answer. Then it's back to Day phase and all the living people get totalk some more and question blah blah blah And at the end of Day 2 there's another Lynch Vote. Of course people can vote at any point during the day, or they can not vote. If ever a Majority is reached the Lynch happens and Day ends. Town win if they Lynch all the Mafia Mafia win if they are equal in number to the remaining Town, so can't be voted off.

I could run a basic 'learn how to play' if anyone wants to try. And of course any not so new players who'd like to help get new players into the game. How many would we need? 7 ish It's sad that that might be too high a number. Let me reach out @Turin Turambar @HeavyHalfMoonBlade @Andy MacLeod @Donchadh @Millon @Gudrean @Cairos @LilyElizabeth @Cross @ThorkinBarrimore @Leala @Wayward_fool *pokes about to find people she knows who are active And off course anyone else ... and those annonymous Watchers of the Boards too.

Well this board is deader than last night's lynch. What happened? I'd have thought with the Traitors TV show that people would want to see how they'd do at the game. Cos Traitors (and maybe Among us) is basically Mafia Also it was a great way to get to know people and hang out. Do we not remember this? Or even the glory of this?
