I would like some people to join this one, as it seems that there is never(read:NONE) any interest in many of my Mafia Games, and the worst part is no one told me why(well, except for Pandar, my mistake there, should have told p.m.ed him, and Workerdrone, and I think Josh, but the latter two of the three never come here anymore).Now, for once, I would like to have a game where I dont get just the new people, for the most part as that is what I have usually had in most of my games except for maybe my comeback round for DF Mafia, which didnt last after the first round.

Now, I do need some help, as if I remember right, it was very broken in something to do with Frodo claiming, and then Sam dieing early as he protected him. So, if we could have some civilized discussions and some interest, we can get this Mafia Campaign going after we solve any game-breaking rules and roles.
