This is exactly the sort of thing that I'm looking for. =O I'd love to be able to play some of these games, provided I have the time.

EDIT: Hell yeah, got mah Dragoon! Thought it was 3 months from Zealot to Dragoon... I'm not complaining, though!

Reception is good enough. We should be able to do one pretty soon.

All we need to get this going then are hosts and formats. Anyone willing to host/co host? For formats we'll figure something out shortly but we can do it one of two ways:

1) One standard formula with previous acceptable deviations used. Host can deviate a bit as well, just needs to contact someone from balance crew to make sure it works okay.

2) A number of standard formulas per player count that host randomly picks. (what mafiascum does)

Incognito and I have the first one~

Tentatively in ~ depends on when this thing actually starts (Thanksgiving & Christmas I won't be near any internet devices).

Pointer #1, don't role claim Day 1 detective unless for some reason you think you are going to die.
Pointer #2, one of the most key elements to remember as mafia to remain hidden is to not give up your entire team list to the town.

<3 i am just messing with you, this should be a good experience for everyone and should help cure your boredom.

Actually I don't think his first move was that bad. He kept an important mafia player from influencing the town too much early on. Now he probably should have done it through a mouth, but calling out mafia Ace on day 1 is not bad, especially considering Ace had more influence back then than he does now.

lol yeah I actually agree Qatol, it wasn't overall a bad move since there are medics in the game. I was mostly joking with him because I actually have known Folca for around 5 years from a clan we were in together. I think its funny that that game kind of set precedent for us changing detective roles to check at night, then receive information during the day if you are still alive.

Edit: Although, iirc a few games lead to us changing that a bit.

I believe it happened after that series of games where:

Mafia 3: Folca checked Ace Day 1.
BC's 1st Game: Qatol and Camlito checked me Day 1
Caller's Aborted Game: You "checked" Ace Day 1
Caller's 1st Game: BC "checked" Mikeymoo Day 1

All 4 in a row, not including Ace's Mafia world which didn't have day checks and had GFs.

We still had day 1 rolechecks in TL Mafia 4 as well. The rolechecking at night didn't start until TL Mafia V, but it was influenced by the day 1 rolechecks (or "rolechecks") you mentioned, mostly because a lot of the people you mentioned were involved in the early balance talks and thought they were a little too strong that early in the game.

Baww, I'm honored.

I feel like I can play decently, but I have trouble actually contributing. Maybe part of it is that I've only played town so far, maybe a different perspective would give me more direction.

Really everyone who wants to improve can join. Unless you're one of the top few players I think you could definitely benefit from this. Don't see any sense in denying anyone even if they're reasonably experienced here.

I'd be interested in this. As a newb I've stayed away from the theme games, but would like a normal, and some how to play is just a bonus. Of course timing may limit my availability due to holidays.
