In the spirit of the Mars landing, we bring you Martian Colony Mafia! I'm thinking the game will start in about two weeks.
I want to moderate, but I can't do it alone. If you're interested in being co-moderator and planning a game with me, please IM me (Brinestone is my SN).
If you're interested in playing, post here. I'll let you know ASAP about the setting.

I'd love to play, but I'm afraid that if you hosted, you'd accidentally give something away. I'm afraid that I read you too well. Maybe I'll have to co-host. . . .

Mafia is a game that involves a group of players who are mafia trying to kill everyone else, while the sherriff/detectives try to identify the mafiosi and kill them first. There is also a serial killer, who is at first impartial, a doctor, who can make one save a day, and the head mafia boss, the Godfather, who can choose how to organize his "family."

Ruth, I wanted to do one this month, but work is interfering with my ability to goof off on company time. So I can't mod one but could co-mod. I don't have IM (I'm at a customer site right now, flying home tonight) so if you'd put me down on your list of possibles, I'd appreciate it. Posts: 5948 | Registered: Jun 2001

Brinestone, thanks! I was also thinking that it had been too long since the last game, but since I want to play, not mod, I didn't think I had any right to complain.
Thanks so much -- to the other volunteers too -- for being willing to do this!

You should probably plan on posting at least once a day, reading everyone else's posts very thoroughly, and IMing other players in order to gain a sense of who is guilty (or, if you're Mafia, who suspects). The game will be here, but often, the "playing" will go on outside the thread itself.

I'd be interested, though I've never played online before. I've played in person where you use a deck of cards to determine who/what everyone is. It sounds more fun this way though.

Ray Bradbury was the guy who wrote The Martian Chronicles! Oh! I was drawing a total blank. I've even read some of them, scattered throughout anthologies. Um, I'm thinking it will be a mixture of known sf (probably a hearty helping of Bradbury, since I've read him) and my own imagination (and yours, I guess).

I think I am really too busy to play, and have too much homework to be here regularly, but that has never stopped me before, so can I play?

I'd just like to point out that Martian colony mafia was already executed flawlessly by the mafia founder and overlord, Pat Poyfair.

Ohh I see, I sneak away to go to a little get-together and everyone forgets (inlcuding my co-mod!) that Insane Asylum mafia is going to start up in late January or early Feb.

Okay, it will be over on GrenME so we can use our own forum with Jon Boy and me moderating. We'll post links from Hatrack to there every day while the game goes on just to remind those of you who aren't GrenME regulars.
Uh, we'll get the scenario up as soon as we can.

Is it too late for me to join? I just got back from Vegas, so I've been gone for a few days. I definitely want to play! Posts: 1635 | Registered: Aug 2002
