*Mutters something about people stealing his mafia game right out from under him*
Hobbes Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Hobbes, again, WHEN YOU ARE UPSET, DO NOT END YOUR POST WITH A SMILIE. It's very confusing.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
I don't see you guys signing up yet.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
I already have.
I'm just in a state of mind where thinking is illegal, and thus, cannot at this time, write a profile. Will tomorrow.

I'm not sure what this is all about, but trogdor is a totally awesome name I love strongbad emails.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Ok, Nathan is excused.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
go to the link kiddyana, and it will explain everything.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
I suck at it.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Pssh, get yourself over there and play it, darn it! Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Get you and your oversized appendix over there, girl.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
--I--
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Just remember who the genius was who started that.
**points to self**
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
With a certain finger.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
so you gonna play?
Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :
I always chant "you're number one" inside my head whenever I see that.
Oh, and I got my profile up today (it took all of 4 minutes to create), so count me in...

No. I suck at it.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Don't care. Go sign up, it's an order.

these two scare me!

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
1. Not familiar enough with Mafia and how it works, despite watching a game play out here on Hatrack.
2. Seem to remember reading AIM being listed as an essential part of playing. Don't do AIM or any kind of live chat - and won't.
Maybe sometime, as long as I don't have to do chats.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
I never have had AIM, and play it quite well. Grenme has a Personal messaging system that works quite well.
come on, snd.. try it.
Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :
I just don't have the time.
I have to give my sister a ride to the store.
My dog ate my Mafia assignment.
...okay. I'll go check it out.
(where's that link?)
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Yeah. The juxtaposition of those two statements worried me a bit.
But otherwise, this is the coolest thread today. Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Anything for the minion of the year.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Nate, we've been over this, there is no way that that smilie is coming off the end of my posts. Well actually there is but then it would just change into a bigger smilie and that's not going to happen for a good time. And then it certainly wont be caused by a mafia game.
Hobbes Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
Um, sweetie . . . go check the sign-up thread again. Look for the username PatrickDarwinPoyfair.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
Pat is PatrickDarwinPoyfair over there, my little brinestone cowboy.
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
Cowboy? I've had a long day . . .
I'm sorry about that. Can I call you my favorite hypocrite anyway just for grins?
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
If I can call you Brinestone Cowboy, sure.
Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :
Alright I posted already, sheesh!
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
I was not aware that I was signed up to play.
In fact, I am unaware of having EVER played mafia, in any form. Though, I once agreed to play Dune mafia, before it died an ignoble death. But that was mostly just because I'm a dune geek.
So, to all you who do NOT wish to play mafia, don't let these guys bully you into it. All us non players are meeting behind the gym to pass around a bottle of mad dog and flip through nudie magazines.
Now THAT's cool.
Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :
Done! Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
Tis better I be thought uncool, than to openly Mafia and remove all doubt.
Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
FINE Slash, ruin the party.
And by the way, I think you're fat.
Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :
Sounds like we're gonna end up with a death match.
TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR vs. SLASH THE BEZERKER!!!
LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW!
Honestly, I just wanted to see the headline and giggle to myself.
ps. go post you're profile...
Posted by Psycho Triad (Member # 3331) on :
I really shouldn't.. what with my parents threatening harm against my computer if i'm on it too much.
But then again, I could really use a mafia fix. I get the twitches thinking about it.
.. might post one tonight.. not sure yet; have to think *twitch* about it some more. *twitch*
Crazy as always, *twitch* psychotriad
Posted by Jenny Gardener (Member # 903) on :
I have never played Mafia.
I am, therefore, not a cool Hatracker. Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
Jenny, it's never too late to repent.
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
Zan, your profile cracked me up. Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
My profile is short and sweet. Those long profiles are entertaining, but it can seem a little daunting.
Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :
I think your is short, to the point, and funny. And I think I already sense conflict coming between Tarl Cabot and Andie Bombola!
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :
Yes, but aren't the profiles where the clues come from? Short profile means either no role, or one that will be discovered quickly, doesn't it?
But, hey, what do I know.
Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
I got the idea from yours. I almost went with John Carter, but then remembered the Gor series from long ago.
Of course, Dejah is the only one who reminds me of Gor my golden skinned princess.
And is that Andie Bombola or Andie Bombshell?
Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :
Jenny,
It's my first time too.
I fully expect to suck at it, but here goes...
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Sheesh. Invite people in, it's all fairly self explanatory, then haze them for short profiles.
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
Hey, celia can't help that she's evil. Give her a break.
Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
Don't worry. I'll have celia well in hand by the end of the game. I'm a man, she's a woman. She won't be able to help herself.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Well, we'll have to let my brevity be a clue. I'll probably be the first victim.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
zgator's a man? O_o
Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
I see you have gotten your funny back yet.
edit 'cause Jon Boy is a mod

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :
gosh, pook, you're right. would have been much better to not offer the new people any sort of advice and have a rough game. please accept my deepest heartfelt apologies.
zanderful, true as that might be, i have far too much on my plate for this. i know better than to think i can just post once a day as participation. it's so disappointing. i really think brinestone will be a good mod and mars looks like such an interesting setting. stupid sense of responsibility kicking in. surely a sign of old age.
Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :
I wish I had time to play.
But I'm going to be gone the next few days taping a show for MTV.
Wow, it sounds so cool to say that! *bounces* Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
But I am a new person to mafia Anyway, I still want to play. I guess I can make my character more verbose.
Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :
Well, I'm in. Don't get confused--I'm Mabus.
