interested. Sign me up

[Argembarger]

OH CARP JUST ONE MORE

Guess I should finish up my preparations and flavor and such...

[warhammer651]

I don't think we'll be getting a ninth person

[Vector]

I don't think we'll be getting a ninth person

We're going to wait until there's 9, then.  It takes some time.

[Taco Dan]

I plan on doing much better this time. In.

[Toaster]

Since I don't see a name, I'll officially volunteer to be Town IC.

[Argembarger]

Alright, excellent. I'll start compiling data.

We still need a Mafia IC, though.

[lordnincompoop]

Well, if there's no takers:

Vector, any chance of you ICing too, or will you be too busy in the math palace?

It'd be a heck of a lot better if you could get someone else to IC.  In a pinch, I could help out the scumteam a little, but I don't have an internet connection and am in two mafia games (the bastard mod running here and something over at xkcd).

Meh.  Put me in temporarily, I guess.

[Argembarger]

Alright, I guess Vector is emergency Mafia IC.

I mean, that's fine. We can always get more later. Multiple IC's are allowed anyway, IIRC.

Alright, I should get the PMs out tonight, although I may be a bit busy with moving back home for the winter break.

Should be tonight, though. If it isn't, SORRY GUYS.

[IronyOwl]

I might be willing to be Mafia IC. Would I basically just be answering questions/giving advice in scumchat?

[Argembarger]

Basically, yeah.

It is a bright, sunny day in Happytown. The air is fragrant with the wonderful scents of spring, and all the happy, smiling people go about their pleasant, joyful lives with nary a care in the world. Their grins radiate sunshine and brightness across the colorful fields of flowers, the clean and tidy streets, and their well-kept homes. Wispy clouds seem to dance and play in the breezy sky. Children laugh and tumble in the park, playing the innocent games of youth, and for all intents and purposes, everything is perfectly lovely.

You step outside and cross your well-manicured front lawn to your gleaming mailbox and retrieve the morning paper, The Joyful Times. You head back into your house and sit down with a perfectly-toasted bagel to read about miraculous breakthroughs in science, upcoming exhibitions of culture and sport, and the news from around the world. Actually, you tend to skim over that last part; since every nation on Earth settled their differences and brought about World Peace, there have been few interesting articles in the World News section, just the usual peace and harmony.

As you unfold the paper to dig in, you are shocked by the headlines.



You head outside for a second look, and sure enough, police are stationed right across the street. You're in the quarantined zone! With Mafia members!? Egads!

Better find these ruthless ragamuffins and deal with them, Happytown style, before they ruin everything!

IT IS DAY ONE
Day One will end Wednesday, December 15, at 10:00 PM EST!

[warhammer651]

where did you find that newspaper thingy by the way?

[Argembarger]

Spoiler: As much as I hate to spoil the magic, (click to show/hide)

I just googled "Newspaper Generator"

[Toaster]

Right, town!   Let's get this show on the road.

Task one:  Read Dak's Scumhunting Guide in the first post of this thread if you haven't already done so.
Task two:  If it's your first game here, I highly recommend reading over a couple of older games here.  The Notable Games Archives has some good ones.
Task three:  Get talking!  This is really the most important step.  The more you get people to talk, the better read you can get on them.  Look for slips, signs of behind-the-scenes coordination, or logic errors!  Asking questions is the best thing you can do.  Remember, how someone answers is as important as the answer itself.

Finally, have fun, and always play to win.
