   Yes and no. What I played was not called mafia but
werewolf and was in RL but I know how it works and
thought why not.

   Edit: Also between now and when the game starts
I will have read many of the Mafia games here form
lack of anything else I want to do at the moment.

Paranormal is a hideously complicated variant of mafia. I recommend you join the Beginner's Mafia XX game that's now on signups instead. It even has one spot left!

There will be more Paranormals in the future, and I hope you like the game and the forum and join many games, but suggest you start at the beginning...

   Sounds like a plan, I think I can hack it but a game
needing only one more person? How could I resist!

I wouldn't actually say it's that bad.  All the roles are up there in the OP, and if you do roll mafia (which would be the time when you need to know about roles) your teammates could probably help you out.

Oh, and in.

@Jokerman - If we have fewer than 12 players I'd prefer that you played. After that point it's up to you.

@Akhier - Having played Werewolf in RL will help you with online mafia, but it's still very different in many ways. Playing a Beginner's will help you get used to how a forum mafia game works. Especially on this forum. Once you've done that you can join the next game I run.

*sigh* I guess one more try won't hurt, but if this time I'm lynched day two for no reason (again), I'm officially done with mafia. In.

   I am in the Beginners game now. If I had known there
was a game for begging players I would have went there
first but I clicked into the Mafia sub-forum and right there
in the top spot was this game asking for sign ups.

And this, my friends, is why we actually need to use the open games and replacements thread.  Or something.

Guess this all ran more smoothly when I was busy obsessing over it.

I've been considering asking this for a day or two, and as I think I can manage it (It's not like school starts tomorrow and I'm starting VCE and I probably shouldn't be adding potential distractions or anything...), I shall ask.

May I please co-mod?

@Akhier:
I think he'd be fine even here as long as he's active, reads a couple previous rounds, and doesn't mind some potential verbal ribbing :D. First game I played was replacing into Paranormal 7 and I'm still here after all. New blood would be nice in older / more comes games.

That's my two cents though, it's really up to Mephansteras and Akhier though.

@Archangel:
:-/

You don't have time to play even and, believe it or not, it rakes time to mod. It's less spread out, sure, but it's a fair bit of effort and you do need to keep up with the thread. Also there's already one probable co-mod.

At least it won't mess with the game as much as not participating as a player, so Mephansteras' call again.

Can't we just have [SIGNUPS] in the title all threads that are in signups?

We could.  I'm considering asking Toady to edit up the Signboard for me so that it's just a compendium of the useful threads here, because I think the current setup really isn't working.  I'm also thinking about asking for some sort of formatting standards so that it's easier to find games that need players--like putting [SIGNUPS] or [n REPLACEMENTS] first thing in the thread title.

Anyway, I'll think about it and probably have some sort of solution in the next week or so.

How about a [USEFUL THREAD] or [READ THIS FIRST] tag for the ones people need to read?  Just seems to be less work and doesn't rely on you never being busy.
