quote [ Mafia (also known under the variant Werewolf or Village) is a party game modeling a battle between an informed minority and an uninformed majority. Mafia is usually played in groups with at least five players. ]
here's a fairly interesting example. More games can be found on mafiascum.net
I think it's time to try something a little different with the SE format. Now, this may be a very stupid idea, and feel free to downmod the post if you think so, but still, I propose a game of "Mafia" here. If we get between 14 and 21 of you in, I'll close the admissions, state the rules and mail you your characters. It's a pretty simple game, you won't even need to read the links to get it right away.

I'm in. I do have to say that it is better with werewolves better than the Mafia, as you can get into the game and make a lot dirtier jokes. Of course, there was the time where it was a done as a bunch of Jews and the SS. |

This game is alot of fun but NEVER, try to explain it to a room full of drunk people. |

One of my favorite hobbies in college was trying to explain non-Euclidean geometry to drunk people. |

Are you kidding??? Next to sex, this is the most frequent drunken activity my college friends (a female majority) and I did on the weekends and nights when we didn't have an exam the next day. |

Playing it while drunk is great, but explaining it to drunken nubs is like nails on a black board. |

This sounds very interesting, but I'm with TheCooler. Not much help to those of us without large social circles. It's doubly sad for me since I had a spat with the fantasy LARPing group in my state and won't be joining them. They have a prohibition against characters doing/saying/acting/wearing anything related to religion, for fear of being sued. Sad that the First Amendment counts for so little anymore. Between being enforced and people being ignorant of the law, I'd say America is well and truly boinked at this point. |

But then the only anti-vampire subweapon you have is the axe; no holy water or crosses. That's lame. |

Can't use an axe either; it's the religious symbol of the Minoan bull-cult. |

There's only one LARP group in your whole state? That sucks.. I don't play anymore myself, but I live in California where you can spit and hit three LARP groups. Yeesh. |

said @ 1:41pm GMT on 14th Apr
For all intents and purposes, yes. There are some other smaller groups (>5 people) centered around cities that are a bit far away from me. There was also Denver After Dark vampire larping. I'm not sure if it still runs. But having associated with the White Wolf crowd for many years, there's no way I could do that. |

My friends and I used to play this when we had sleepovers and such. It was fun, but you really have to be all in or it can disband really fast. |

Okay, that makes fourteen. The list of participants, as of right now is: gronk23 endopol Context scarshapedstar Narrenschiff BobTWC LeavemeAlone BarnabasTruman plexer Jestyr thumble TheCooler solitude mouse There's room for seven more. Tonight, at US Eastern (I'm told that that's the probable timezone of most Se'rs, but you can vote to change it for any other) 00:00 I'll send the PM's, stating the rules and your role and I'll start a new post titled "sensible howling: day 1" with this post's thumb. Keeping in mind that some of you may have the misfortune of being forced to keep a day job, every day will last seventy-two hours, and every night twenty-four. |
