out. I can play now but D3 or 4 might overlap with important RL tasks. And we still lack a player so I have to do it now rather than replacement later.

[FallacyofUrist]

Noted. Uh, not ideal, but I totally understand. IRL comes first. Shame there's nobody else who wants to play.

I hate to pass up Vanilla Mafia, as it's my best shot with my reading disability, but I think probably anything would be too fast for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my first games of mafia many years ago on GameFAQs, but we (all the players) never heard of the game beforehand, and were all feeling it out.

Here everything is so efficient, people get furious if you don't already perform expected strategies, eh, I still remember for a rally to kick me for saying "hi", sorry, no thanks.

Edit: If you'd like art for the updates, I might be up for it. But maybe that would take away from the vanilla-ness of it. Vanilla with sprinkles at that point.

I actually second those remarks.  But it's also important to understand that the game is about finding scum, which means everyone gets interrogated.
I've even created a nifty strategy towards detecting scum!

Spoiler: Super Secret Strategy (click to show/hide)

IF someone is being nice to you THEN they are scum.
IF someone is being a jerk to you THEN they are town.
Put on your Kevlar if you want to play Mafia, its the ones who AREN'T out to get you that you need to worry about.

A lot of regulars are busy or away this summer.

As for standards, I think at least half the new players have done very well. There's no reason to lock anybody out if they're willing to be here to play. Any attitude someone has with another player is because they're trying to scumhunt (or pretend to).

[FallacyofUrist]

Update: EuchreJack, Roden, TricMagic, NJW2000, and ToonyMan have indicated that they're available. Five players wouldn't be enough for a full Mostly Vanilla Mafia game.

A Mostly Vanilla Mafia Marathon, on the other hand... seems a bit more doable. Nowhere near the length of Tomasque's infamous game, though. Five players, five setups in a row, each in the style of Mostly Vanilla Mafia. Which would make it a Mostly Vanilla Mafia Sprint. Which sounds just as good.

How about it? ToonyMan, NJW2000, Roden, EuchreJack, TricMagic - (and anyone else) - would you like to try playing a Mostly Vanilla Mafia Sprint with five mini-setups in a row?

(Modified times, though. 48 hour days, as-soon-as-all-actions-are-in Nights.)

[TricMagic]

Bounces, then votes FallacyofUrist just to check.

[ToonyMan]

Sounds fun. I'm curious what kind of variety there could be in games of this size, unless more people are willing to join. Multiple games in a row would at least extend the length of a small player pool.

[NJW2000]

Sure, I'd give that a go.

[EuchreJack]

Might be a little intense for my taste, but whatever.

Voting EuchreJack

[Roden]

Oof, sorry, I wasn't on site so I didn't see this. But I'd be down to try this if everyone else still is.

[BluarianKnight]

In.

[ToonyMan]

I'm still down.

[NJW2000]

I have some time at the moment, but the start and end of September will be quite hectic for me. I'd be happy to play a couple of games at least.
