Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
Ya I hear you. How is this community supposed to grow if we just accept the status quo of a minimal amount of players though? I am working on the roles for my next game which should require 17-18 players.
I think that if we invite players we know, regardless if they play Risk or not, it will help grow the Mafia community?

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
Okay. I think I've got a theme in mind for a mafia game. How about something from Terry Pratchetts Discworld series. Problem is the villains in a lot of those are more nebulous constructs or unaligned obstacles rather than an organized scum group. Gaurds! Guards! And Reaper Man amongst others do have a more organized villain group but may be better to start with the first book The Colour of Magic. Actual size could be pretty flexible. The book only has a small core of major characters but there's also a lot of side characters that could appear.

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
The Thing is my second game and I really enjoy it. Was thinking with the next game to advertise it in the SoC, maybe we will get a few more players. We can also ask that they add it to the Announcements bar once we signing up new games.

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
I only have 6 more Role PM's to do, I'll just post it to the thread as Signups; I think that's how its done around here. Then I will focus on the murder mystery one and post it ASAP. I figure we just post games; you know, if you build it, they will come?Charle wrote:The Thing is my second game and I really enjoy it.

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
I'll start trying to work it out. It's been a while so may have to remember how to balance games.DirtyDishSoap wrote:Idk why i just now saw this but please mod.

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
I'll be available again to play in 2035, if that seems like a long time, we're 50% of the way there since my last game anyways.

Did you get rejected or something and now you're on CC like a spiteful old lover?

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
I'll probably wait until some time next year but i plan on a new edition to my old Balance Not Included series. I'm thinking of doing it with a twist of everyone having two abilities.

Re: MAFIA- The New Direction
I’ll also host a mafia game in 2035. Sign ups will open 2030 to give everyone plenty of time to sign up.nagerous wrote:I'll be available again to play in 2035, if that seems like a long time, we're 50% of the way there since my last game anyways.
