Title: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on July 07, 2008, 02:14:53 AM
4th Quarter, tie game...who's going to be the one to make the final shot?

YOU!!!!

Cheesy openings aside, this mafia will, hopefully, start a week after Cid's mafia completes (or after DL Con, depending on when that happens).  There will be a bit of role funness, and everyone will have some role/power of some sort - some, however, might be very useless, but you might not know that.  All scum will receive safe identities.  Do not try to figure out alignments and powers based on names, as, while some might seem obvious, I am an evil bastard.  Days will have no time limit unless there is a need for it.  I will probably run a "free night" where no killing powers work, but other powers do.  Looking for 13 people with a co-mod at a minimum, but MORE ARE WELCOME, AND IN FACT ENCOURAGED.

Sign-ups open:

Rat - Co-mod!

1) smartin
2) smodge
3) Excal
4) Iraki
5) Delta
6) Andy
7) Ciddy
8) Thomas
9) Strago
10) Corwin
11) Kilgamayan
12) Ladydoor
13) Ciato

What is this with attracting all these new people just for Mafia?  This is the worst place to play it, honestly.

No, I'm not joining.

I dunno, Board 8 over on GameFAQs has more consistent failure on Town's part(Even though I haven't played in months...), and there's always Shrinemaiden.org. >_>'

Concur on the not joining part, though.

OK, you so crazy.

In, because even if this game is a failure, it's bound to be a spectacular one.

Yeah ok, Suicide Squad is nearly done, I"ll play this one. I'd better try & earn back some cred before I run the following game.

Board 8 mafia is more trainwreck worthy and less overall serious mind fucking and more sucking.

I may or may not have participated in one. I won't go further into that. >_>

When you say that everyone will actually have a role, is this a true statement?  Or will you actually be stiffing some poor nobody with Nilla Town like the last two everyone has a role games did?
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on July 13, 2008, 06:29:42 PM
Everyone will have a role, yes.  It might not be particularly powerful, but it will be there.

Since Suicide Squad is ended, let's sign up for this one!  At the rate it's going, it might not start until after DLCon.  So sign-up.

EDIT: Whoa, someone already edited the sign-up post?  Awesome.  Thanks!
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Strago on July 13, 2008, 06:39:58 PM
I'm in. For all that I somehow managed to pull out that win in Suicide Squad, I played like garbage for the most part and must redeem myself.

Strike me off the list, I won't be playing in this one (which means Cor isn't playing either? No, I won't be guilted into this!)

Rat is going through big fat quitter school. For... quitters.

Do like Corwin says, Ciato. One of us! One of us!
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Bardiche on July 14, 2008, 07:51:18 PM
Yes, Ciato. Join us, so that Corwin will stay and play since Rat is trying to kick off from his mafia love. Does Rat love this game?
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Corwin on July 14, 2008, 08:00:08 PM
Rat doesn't love anything!
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!

ONLY IF RAT JOINS

(I'll think about it.)
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Bardiche on July 14, 2008, 09:55:36 PM
Man, if Rat joins we have +3 players, if he doesn't Corwin and Ciato bail.

I can put on a dress and pretend to be Carthrat if you want.

Post by: Luther Lansfeld on July 15, 2008, 06:55:45 PM
Actually I'm going to be at Elfboy's house after the con, so unless you want us to play AS A TEAM! then I'll have to decline.

But it would be funny if we did. For us. <_<
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on July 16, 2008, 01:56:30 AM
Ciato and Corwin are still ? so far.  You two want to be in?  If not, I'd like 2 more people.

Also...I don't think starting before DL Con is a good idea - that's 4 people (myself and 3 players) that will be there.  I will have a computer so I guess we could theoretically manage, but...I'd rather not let the possibility of that exist. 

Motion to start after DL Con, like on that...Wednesday.  If you really want to start now, we can, but again, I don't think it would be for the game's best for that to happen and be missing out on 3 players like that. 
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Bardiche on July 16, 2008, 02:08:57 AM
I'd rather wait it out. Some of us still need to recuperate from the previous Mafia game anyway.

... Damnit, I'm so listening to the Space Jam Theme now to get in the B-ball mood.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Sierra on July 16, 2008, 04:59:27 AM
Seconding that game should start after the con.

Also, Ciato: ONE OF US, ONE OF US.

Play as a team! Anyway, in, guilt-tripping Rat, etc.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Luther Lansfeld on July 16, 2008, 07:21:59 AM
DLCon is basically all of us meeting up at someone's house and crashing it. There are about 18 of it gonna be there or something?

Yes, but we make it work by expressly NOT playing in the same games together anymore.  Difference here also being that we see each other every day so taking chunks out of our day to play isn't that bad.  We can make it up later.  Ciato and Elf don't get to hang out much, so their time together's a bit more precious in that respect.

And like Ciato said, vacation~

*wants a vacation*

Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on July 17, 2008, 12:29:39 PM
So barring any unforeseen changes, this game will start...

JULY 30th, WHENEVER I RETURN FROM WORK

Roles will likely be sent out before DL Con (probably next Tuesday). 
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Deltaflyer on July 30, 2008, 06:31:10 PM
Its 30th July now and I havent received my role PM. Has the game been postponed?
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Kilgamayan on July 30, 2008, 07:21:45 PM
It's entirely possible he hasn't returned from work yet.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!

oh Ok, Im at +0 GMT so ill wait til tommorow morning.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Excal on July 30, 2008, 11:50:46 PM
I talked to him recently.  He's just waiting for a quick chance to confer with his Co-Mod and then PMs will be forthcoming.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on July 31, 2008, 12:46:27 AM
Yeah, forgot to make this post here when I got back.  Doing some conferring (DL Con messed up my time schedule a bit, especially with flight delays).  I'm also prepping for a law licensure exam on Friday, so that's taking time up!  Monday at worst, probably Friday, will be when this starts.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on August 03, 2008, 01:55:37 PM
...you know what I just realized, ready to do this?

There is still a ? with Ciato, whom I know is away for a bit.  So, barring her being able to play (which I'd rather not force on her while she's away on vacation)...that's 12, not 13!  Good thing I checked first >_> 

Anyway, we can grab one more person, or we can go with what we have, or we can wait for her to return if she is interested. 

This also works out for me while I prepare for the actual important licensure exam >_> 

Thoughts?

Brand new to the site, but have played a few of these games before. Am willing to join if you still have that slot open.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Bardiche on August 03, 2008, 11:46:01 PM
So... We wait for Ciato or do we begin now?
Just so it is clear, I have no problem with waiting for Ciato to clear up if she'll play or not, since more players is always good.

Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Deltaflyer on August 04, 2008, 01:30:16 PM
Smartin is (i presume) another person that Bardiche has asked to come and play. If he joins, go easy on him because he isn't used to the way of mafia here.

I say we start now.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Bardiche on August 07, 2008, 06:26:25 PM
Since I'll be gone for a week from the 25th, and I rather not delay the game any further, I'm dropping out. Not sure when you intended to start, but two weeks felt a little bit uh, short to me for a game, so to be sure I rather give my spot to someone else, if someone's still willing to play.

Think we were still waiting on Ciato, so Smartin could take my spot and Ciato can play once she gets back! It all works out.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: Deltaflyer on August 08, 2008, 12:54:03 PM
Its now 9 days after the game was supposed to start...

I'll be back Monday, so whatever. <_<
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!
Post by: OblivionKnight on August 13, 2008, 07:04:12 PM
Update:

I apologize I've been away from this for a while.  Licensure exams have eaten up my time, as well as drama at work that I've been caught in the middle of.  I'm debating on whether I should hand this to someone else to mod, since I'm not sure if I'll have the time to put into it to bring it to the level I want it to be. 

However, I should be able to work this, so this will start Friday.  If you are still up for it, post here to make sure - I'll use the list at the start of the topic (Ciato, are you in?  If not, I'll have the newer person replace you).

I was about to say "still in," but I'm going to be away this weekend and probably have limited internet access or time to play. I... still want to play, but... I don't know if I should, under said circumstances.

I'm still in, but also going to be busy a lot of the time. School starts again in ~2 weeks and I'm editing a novel and a few math workbooks in the meantime. Still should be able to post out okay content, I think, and I don't want to drop when there don't seem to be others in place to pick up if I do. Won't drop in the middle, I promise, just probably not going to be wall o' texty.

I know, I know, everyone's all disappointed now.

Post by: Strago on August 15, 2008, 01:20:51 PM
Hrmm. Will people be cool with it if I'm pretty absent for the first few days? I'll do my best to make an appearance or two. If people would rather not deal with that, though, y'all should start looking for a replacement. Otherwise I'm still game.
Title: Re: Barkley Mafia Sign-ups!

I was hoping this wouldn't happen, but it has. 

I'm going to have to disappear for a while.  I'll probably be around in a few weeks.  I didn't want to have to jump away like this suddenly, but I figured it was coming. 

I apologize to everyone who signed up for the mafia game - I've handled this exceedingly poorly, and should have done something earlier about the potential issue popping up.  I'm really sorry about this.
