We now have 14 *real* players, so all you who hate to be pressured into something can now join!
Yeah, like anyone is going to reply to this. We have a strong roster building up for Muppet Show Mafia .
The cast so far consists of: Pat (mod).... Scooter the gofer Me............... Dr. Bunsen Honeydew Icarus (cameo)...Beaker Rivka.............Miss Piggy RRR..............Gonzo Jeniwren.......Camilla the Chicken Brinestone....Oscar the Grouch My brother....Crazy Harry SarMup.........Waldorf and Statler Jon Boy.........Rizzo the Rat Teshi.............Beauregard Derrell...........Animal Ryuko............Kermit Nathan..........Swedish Chef That's 12 actual players and Pat wants 2 more, apparently.
Okay, so why play mafia? I never got it until I tried it. It's a lot like some kind of controlled substance that way. Also the paranoia, the munchies, and the certitude that anyone who isn't into it has got to be nuts or something.
Time commitment: Checking in twice a day should be adequate. I've found that the more time I spend on the game, the more paranoid I appear and it tends to get me killed even when I am innocent. So if you're thinking mafia takes a lot of time, it doesn't. We don't want all your free time, we just want your SOUL!

I can't be Camilla if we don't have a Gonzo. It would be too depressing.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
We don't have a Gonzo? Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
I'm Gonzo. I even posted my profile before you posted yours. Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
I would play but I know very little about the muppets except vague outlines of them.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Phew, I thought I was losing it there for a moment. By the way, even though a lot of folks have gotten hyper excited with linked photos and avatars, you don't have to know how to do that stuff to post a profile.
P.S. It took long paragraphs of very small words to teach me how to post an image or upload an avatar.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
Teshi, neither do I. I just picked a random Sesame Street character and used google to find out about him. Just think: your ticket to mafia is only a few clicks away!
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Hm, I don't even know if I'm a member of the forum! But I think I will...
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
Triple R: Oh man...it's a good thing I'm playing a chicken that doesn't talk.

...the instructions to register use the word "simply".
Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :
For a limited time, if you sign up to play, you will get an Ipod! for free!!!!
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Derrell, did you need any help with getting registered?
Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
Yeah, when I tried to register, it wouldn't let me. I don'tt know if I'll have to reregister for the forums, but I'm frustrated.
Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
I log into the forum. I try to post a reply in the muppet mafia sign up thread and it says I'm not logged in, so I log in. I write my post and hit the button to add it to the thread. It says I don't have permission to post in the thread and asks me for my user name and password.
Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
OK, I fixed my problem by switching browsers. Now where do I find a biography of Animal?
I've officially posted in the Muppet Mafia sign up thread at Galactic Cactus. Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Please please please sign up!
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
I signed up. You should too.

I read this thread title as, "We are so close, like a 3-way"... Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
LOL KQ!
I read it the same way. I hopped on to this thread to post "There's no way I'm dobie-ing this thing. I'll get banned"
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
:desperately scrolls up to make sure I didn't in fact type that: Phew.
Does me being the poster make that reading any more likely? Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
Why? Do you have a reputation for such things? =)
Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :
Hmm...I'm tempted. I really shouldn't, but I'm tempted. We shall see.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Go figure..tempted by a three-way...that's a first... Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :
Oh, you know it. Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
when does the game start? just whenever you get enough people?
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
Don't you just need 3?
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
If mack is in, we just need 2. But I don't know if mack is in.
Dragon- it seems so, yes.

Ok, I've been wanting to see what the mafia thing is all about, so you can count me in if you still need people. Just let me know; I'll check back tomorrow. I'll probably suck big-time, but that's probably want you more experienced players want, eh?

That's what I thought it said as well.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Now this is getting offensive. I would totally call it a menage a trois if that was what I meant.
And yes, Space Opera, we totally need you!
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Wasn't "manage a trois" a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode?
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Definitely a popular fanfic title, if not an actual episode. So are you playing, Mack? I'm not sure who your inner muppet would be. The cast so far consists of:
Pat (mod).... Scooter the gofer Me............... Dr. Bunsen Honeydew Icarus (cameo)...Beaker Rivka.............Miss Piggy RRR..............Gonzo Jeniwren.......Camilla the Chicken Brinestone....Oscar the Grouch My brother....Crazy Harry SarMup.........Waldorf and Statler Jon Boy.........Rizzo the Rat Teshi.............Beauregard Derrell...........Animal Ryuko............Kermit Nathan..........Swedish Chef
That's 12 actual players and Pat wants 2 more, apparently.

No more mafia.
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
I want to play.
i want to play FOZZIE!!!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
I will try it, but those kind of games make me nervous as can be.
Plus, my eight year-old son is deathly afraid of muppets. We can't even say the "M" word out loud.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Where's Snuffleluffagus?
Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
Oscar is Sesame Street, not Muppet Show.
Fozzie's omission is inexcusable.
If you need one last player, I can volunteer as Sam the Eagle.

Posted by ghost of dkw (Member # 4046) on :
I believe you mean Sam the American Eagle.
Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
Actually, it's Sam the Eagle.
Disdain is not just an American value.

Ok, I think I'll be Count von Count.

edit: Or perhaps Dr. Teeth, since the Count apparantly is from Sesame Street.

Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Leonide, Fozzie was my favorite as a kid. Sign up and we should be able to get this game rolling! sign up thread Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
Just did!
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Great! So now the roster is:
Pat (mod).... Scooter the gofer Me............... Dr. Bunsen Honeydew Icarus (cameo)...Beaker Rivka.............Miss Piggy RRR..............Gonzo Jeniwren.......Camilla the Chicken Brinestone....Oscar the Grouch My brother....Crazy Harry SarMup.........Waldorf and Statler Jon Boy.........Rizzo the Rat Teshi.............Beauregard Derrell...........Animal Ryuko............Kermit Nathan..........Swedish Chef Space Opera......Dr. Teeth Bokonon..........Sam the Eagle Leonide..........Fozzie Bear
If I know Pat, he'll probably delay play until Tuesday due to the holiday. I guess if other folks sign up real quick, they can get in.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Okay, if anyone gives me grief about checking private massages
Roles have been sent out via the Galacticcactus private message system. Game play will occur in the Mafia folder over there, but I will periodically bumpt this thread in case you forget. Also, the mafia folder over there can be hard to find sometimes. You can generally get it by using the "forum jump" feature.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
February 24
Dead so far: Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear. Granted, Miss Piggy was apparently killed by Fozzie Bear.
If you didn't vote yesterday, you need to vote today or face death by natural causes. A vote to abstain does count as a vote. So even if you want to post an abstaining vote for now and change it later, that would be good. We need as many townies as possible to not die of natural causes.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
You are here. Okay, so basically the first day we had a phony death just to get to pot boiling. Today was the first day of actual mafia and serial killings. Somehow, it got labelled day one when it is actually day two, and to vote on the action you need the day 2 voting thread. If you posted but didn't vote, that might be enough, but voting for this round closes at 9 a.m. Mountain time on Friday, feb 25th.

That reminds me of my favorite line from A Muppet Christmas Carol:
Sam (to young scrooge): Business! It is the American way!
(Gonzo aka Charles Dickens whispers in his ear)
Sam: er...it is the British way!
