A Modest Proposal

[Ampharos]

Greetings, gamers. Reborn's least trusted citizen here.

As most of you have probably noticed, this subforum is, uh, not very active anymore. And I'm sad about it. I didn't really start trying to integrate into the actual SF Mafia community until after it's glory days, but I still greatly enjoyed the playstyles and personalities of the community and am sad to see it in its current state.

That said: does it have to be dead?

No. I don't think so.

I would like to run a mafia game.

Now, the elephant in the room that ISN'T "is anyone still alive" is "wow, SF's forum software sure is hot fucking garbage, huh?" As such, I'd like to run this game offsite, on Mafia Universe. MU is a dedicated Mafia website on which Makaze and I are both administrators; the skeleton is vbulletin, but Mak wrote most of the meat of the site from the ground-up, and it's basically the best place to play mafia on the 'net from a pure technology standpoint.

This would be an invitational game, meaning there'd be no queue, no random goons joining, just "whenever we have enough people, we slap a thread down and go." I could even set up a private subforum so it's like SF has its own little section of the site. I think this would be preferable to necessarily running the game here - though if others disagree, I'm willing to reverse course on that and just slap it down here anyways.

So tl;dr:
 - lets play mafia
 - lets do it on MU if people want to, or here if they don't
 - lets start whenever we have enough people

I'll call minimum playercount 9. Setup TBD but probably largely vanilla with one or two PRs. Let's see if we can restart this place's pulse.

Vague List of the Semi-Intrigued:
1. Ampharos (if we play on MU)
2. Dunn
3. Bartozio
4. Marth
5. Mackc2
6. Athena_57
7. supa
8. Makaze
9. Shinori?
10. YOLOSWAG
11. Claire
12. fairyjigglypuff
13. woopons

Quick addendums:

Phase lengths will probably be 72/24, but are negotiable based on what other people wanna play.

If we wind up running the game on MU, we can have the automated bot host, which would allow me to play, which is one less person we have to wrangle in. So that's neat.

You can consider me semi-Intrigued.

Ah so this thread isn't about people selling their children to cannibals.

That's going to sound really weird if no one gets the reference.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw the title of this thread.

Ah. A man of culture I see.

So much for the Jonathan Swift literature club.

I've had An Argument Against the Abolishment of Christianity on audio sitting on my computer for some time unread now, so I wouldn't be against it!

I can stop playing mafia anytime. 
Clearly not consider me interested
