Hello, my name is Narnia...

...and I don't know how to play Mafia. [Frown]

*sniffs* Everyone always talks about Mafia and I've been a member for over 3 years...and even though most of that was lurking, I've STILL heard so much about Mafia...and...

*hiccup*

*sob*

I wanna learn how to play!! [Cry]

But, I feel really stupid asking...because everyone else seems to automatically know. You have no idea how difficult it's been to noncholantly pretend that I know what everyone is talking about when they make references to their mafia triumphs and losses. All the while I'm crying inside. I feel like I'm on the outside in the cold snow, looking in at a warm and cozy party that I...that I...can't ever be a part of.

*sobs louder* [Cry]

I guess that my life is beginning now that I've admitted to you that I have a problem.

*pat pat* It'll be okay, Narnia...I, too, only know how to play the card game mafia. I'm not sure how to play it on the 'net. *wails in extreme distress*

... [Big Grin]

how sweet...you were posting schmaltz on my thread while I was posting schmaltz on your thread. At the very same time. You shall hereby be known as my schmaltz buddy. [Razz]

That's simply eery. o.O

In any case, schmaltz rules! I am ALL for schmaltz. Even the word. Schmaltz schmaltz schmaltz! Whoa. Lost all meaning there.

*high fives for schmaltz buddies*

You know, we've posted mafia rules SEVERAL TIMES on this forum. Here's one of the more recent versions (there are several modifications out there):

The best way to learn is to play! [Wink]

*hint*

Narnia, I'm going to post rules and how-to-play sometime today. We're starting a new game on Monday (barring someone talking me into starting it a little later), and the best way to learn is to play.

Tom, you're not going to play this game?

I have a vague idea of the rules after reading them at GreNME once, but I've never really had all that much interest in playing for some reason.

Same here. Any interaction with this forum that involves extra-curricular emails has always seemed a bit too involved to me. I never feel like I have time for it.

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

I've read the rules and stuff, but I still don't understand how to play at all. However, with school starting I'll probably be too busy to anyway.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Thanks jeni. I'll definitely play.

Tom, this is precisely why I was crying. *sniffle* I KNOW that EVERYONE else knows how to play but me and I was never sure how everyone figured it out.

Thanks for the link though, it will be helpful next week.
