Role PMs have been sent. Please confirm by posting in thread. Send in Night 0 actions if applicable.
Game start is slated for 11:00am PST, Monday, 9/1.
Seeing as there seems to be few bites in other games, and how much more I prefer modding to playing, I wanted to give this game concept a spin.
Succinct Mafia is just that. The game premise is that everything meaningful can be said in a short, concise post. This game is pointedly rallying against walls of text and/or quotes and aims for both a civil and straightforward discussion.
It will be a closed setup, and lean away (EDIT: Andrew is a dirty ENGLISH MAJOR) from role madness, though there will be roles. I will say that powers will be based off traditional mafia roles at the most extreme (you're not going to see anything completely out of the box).
Days will be 48 hours, with unlimited time on LYLO (and if you think factors will prevent you from being able to participate in a timely manner please do not sign up. I view signing up as a form of commitment, so unless you want an angry Laggy, do your best to participate.) Day ends WILL be auto-extended by 30 minutes from the latest post (that is, day will not end until 30 minutes have passed and no hammer is in sight). I feel this is a reasonable compromise as to not suddenly curtail the end of the day in the middle of discussion. Please do not abuse this (wrap up the day if it's already come to deadline) or I may decide not to show such leniency in the future.
Rules-
* All posts should be less than 300 words. This isn't a post restriction rule - that is, I'm not going to modkill you if you accidentally break it by a few dozen - but you'll be warned the first time, and potentially modkilled if your posts really do start looking like walls of text after said warning. By the way, quoted words count towards this limit, so quote very sparingly/selectively if at all!
* Don't post consecutively. Double posts to correct/add thoughts are fine, but you're cheating the whole idea if you do it more than that. Back and forth posts between two people (as often happens) is fine so long as your posts aren't becoming gargantuan quote debates (aka adhering to the first rule).
* Be civil. Be active. Very important. Since your word count isn't going to be that high, your content and your punctuality to the game will presumably make up for it. With days clocking at 48 hours, I'd say you're expected to view and respond to the thread and current happenings at least three times a day, preferably more.
Otherwise, a straightforward concept. I'm looking for at least 13 people, with more the better. Game will be aborted if I don't have enough signups by a week (and will also start then, if I have.)
P.S. This post was 448 words! More now that dirty English majors made me fix grammatical errors.

I'm quadruple in. under 300 words? yes please
-
So apparently it's my job to sign up after Excal and Ciato in every game now.
-
words>1=fail!
-
As long as it doesn't start before next Monday, I'm in.
-
That should be no problem.
-
I can't refuse a Legend of Legaia avatar.
-
Your concept is intriguing, and I wish to become acquainted with it.
Intimately.
-
In.

A few more notes to add:
- There will be a Night 0. No killing actions will be allowed but other roles will be given the green light to go. This, of course, is intended to break the mold of that tragedy called Day 1.
- After Suicide Squad I am very, very intolerant of players acting like dicks and being utterly counterproductive. If you escalate the game to the point where people are seriously feeling agitated at you beyond the constraints of what I consider civil Mafia play and/or give an attitude that basically condones to "I don't care, do whatever, I know I'm right!" or otherwise obviously not trying to win, you WILL be modkilled on the spot. Fair warning to all participating. None of that rebel against the world BS.
This is likely much more harsh-sounding than I intended, but better fair warning than none at all. Play nice, and play straight, folks. I don't expect problems, but it needed to be said.

This is in fact what the other mafia which i played (which has now died) was like. Sort of. Im getting confused now, people want me to write more thoughts down and be less consise when this comes up :).
-
Well, maybe I didn't need to drop out of any game at all. Okay, hectic week's done by monday. I'm home for a day now, leaving again saturday until sunday, then starting college on monday so I'll not be around as often, but I'll contribute a few times a day. Start of the school year sounds lenient enough; with just 300 words max, game sounds much lighter too so yeah.

It's two days 'till when I would prefer to start, and looks like we're stalled at 10 signups.
Aside from being a call to get some more players in, would anyone have any objections to jumping into the game with this number? (Please post here if you plan to bow out.) I plan to send out role PMs tomorrow.
-
Eh, looks like my game died in the arse, so I'll play here if you need the numbers.
-
Role PMs will be going out sometime today. Holding my breath for any last minute signups in the meantime.
-
Finally some mafia! After about 2 months! *bows down to laggy*
I love you now!
-
Role PMs have been sent out.
Please confirm by posting in here. Thanks!
Also, if applicable, please send me your Night 0 action in PM!

The past few days have been pretty busy and filled with hateful overtime well into the late evenings, quite unexpectedly so. I posted the confirmation after Rat bugging me to do it, and forgot the game started until pretty much a few hours ago. Sorry everyone.

It's no big. Life happens, I appreciate you dropping by and letting us know at least, and there are worse things than Day 1 drops. Maybe next time!
