As mentioned elsewhere, I've got a quick (I think), quirky mafia setup that I had intended to be "July Mafia 2", if it started early. Except that July Mafia has been re-identified as "June 2". Either way, I still think it'll fit into a gap between any two major games (probably this June2/Fairtale and... whatever else someone else brings into July, maybe the pre-booked August one, perhaps that also being suitably renamed).
Anyway, this is a Call For Interest. No commitments, so far, this far ahead of the unknown schedule.
The plan is that once "June 2" finishes (only just started, so unknown when this might be) I'll send out private messages to everyone interested asking for confirmation within 48 hours (the usual Mafia diurnal cycle), to ensure you're not on vacation at this time. Or imminently so.
Once I know, one way or another, then I'll infill the threads of those who confirm with roles/etc as appropriate and we'll have no more than a 24-hour cycle (per day, followed by the same per night), for a faster-paced game. But see the attached Poll for a variation. How long it ends up taking will depend on the number of players, but will obviously be quicker than a 'regular' game of equivalent size.
There should be no roles significantly less capable of surviving to the end win, but I won't say anything more about that right now. There is a theme already planned, but a) it may change, b) I currently feel like surprising you. I'm sure you'll like the 'quirk'.
Victims Players, feel free to tentatively sign on below.

I'm in. But I did start the 48 hour rule for a reason, people simply weren't voting in the first 24 hours, even when that was the limit.

"Use it or lose it." sort of thing (also the idea behind the Hammer rule idea, but that doesn't look like it'll happen), although I'd be open to doubling up if there were enough incumbents going to be away over the weekend. And also to fit this in without pushing back the 'proper' next game at all. You probably won't notice the difference.  |

There'll be nothing 'arbitrary', from a game perspective. It's been carefully pre-planned. It has a very basic twist, as indicated by the word 'quirky', but I don't want to say much more save that the only 'unfair' deaths should be Lynches from the arbitrary (where not otherwise) whims of the players. And I can't exactly remove the Lynching mechanism... Or can I? (Anyway, whether or not it ends up as a bloodbath - which it may not even do - it should be all over quickly for... reasons.) But I really don't want to say any more other than I won't lie to you, as Mod. (This is already the first thing I was going to say, in the game. For what it's worth, if you don't even trust this initial axiom.) |

I'm just finalising some preparations (I'm still not sure how close 'the end' is in the current game... nail-biting, isn't it?!?), to save me time when it's ready to go. FYI I've got the following individuals currently listed as interested: OviraptorpanicberryДьяковоjellowhereyouthinkyoupoliyingSerrlandGamerdogTSMThe Beautiful Darkness@blassy SCIENCEchandelierdesperatemarlas (added after following messages)Sniffles (yes, I'll have you... oooer)I'm still planning on sending confirmations in the lead-up, just to make sure you're around. Or maybe a single all-cohort message to you all. We'll see what works best, after I've checked nobody has fallen off the planet... (Also, if I missed anyone who wrote in above, please do let me know. Also if you wish to beg off for any reason. Some roles are tentatively assigned, but can (and probably will) be shuffled before we start.) |

Yes, there's room. You weren't in before but consider you added. My game-design has room for... well, unlimited players, to be honest. I'll maybe even run some numbers on how long it'll take if you all play randomly (which you won't, of course).
(And with the Town-Collapse at least a day before I expected, in TBD's game, it looks like I need to write the last flavourtexts, so get anyone else on board who you think might want to be on board. I'll do a confirmation thing of some kind either tomorrow or the day after, I hope, which should mean a game start at some point in the middle or the end of (my) weekend. Letting me get down to Yorkshire to see some of the Tour de France and not leaving you hanging any more than I need to...)

Barring SCIENCE wanting to run the next game (I recall him mentioning wanting to run one) I'll run the next game. If he does, I'm calling the next after his. |
