Hi. This is the signup thread for GOG Mafia #73.

If you are unfamiliar with GOG Mafia, then:
There's a small community of GOG forum folks who do one thing: play the social deduction game Forum Mafia. The game basically puts a bunch of people into two teams: an uninformed majority called Town, and an informed minority called Mafia. Now, Town try to vote to lynch Mafia (and themselves a lot of the time) during the Day, while the Mafia kill Townies during the Night, and discuss what they will do.

Your goal as a Townie is to successfully get the Mafia eliminated (and any other threats to Town). As Mafia, your goal is to gain majority (for example, reduce Town and every other faction to 2, but the Mafia is 3 living folks).

You can read more about the game here. You may also have heard of it as the variants Werewolf or Town of Salem.

To sign up, just post in the thread and say you're in!

ROLE STUFF:
I'm leaning for a semi-open or a closed setup, and hopefully avoid making nolynches seem desirable. I got some ideas from ZFR:

- Open setup, each Mafioso has 1 kill or 1 roleblock per night. Town is composed of a Doctor and the remainder are Naive Doctors. No doctor knows if they're even real, and flips only reveal alignment but not role.
- Enlover: an Enlover can "love" someone and thus raise the lynch threshold by 1 vote. If a player has more votes than the normal lynch threshold and they stop being loved, they will be lynched. The enlover has to pass their role to a player overnights. They're also publicly known.
- Abilities are assigned to the Mafia team as a whole. e.g. Mafia has kill, roleblock, role cop, and each of the 3 mafioso can use one of the three abilities.

One more idea that I toyed with is to have Mafia abilites, like RB, Role Cop assigned to the Mafia team as a whole, instead of a particular player. Just like NK. So the Mafia team choses who does NK, RB... etc. They still have to assign in to particular person who'll carry it out, so they can be tracked, watched... etc. But the abilities don't die when particular players die. Max 1 ability per person.

I'll add that! Thanks.

Do I add you to the player list?

Yes, yes.

What's the earliest you expect this to start? I was going to take a little break but I'll sign up if the game is a few weeks away.

At this level of participation, it might indeed be a few weeks away.

By now y'all should know to opt me in by default, I think. ;D

That said, to make this all official like:

I'd like to Opt Inn That'll be perfect....as my own game won't be starting until after the 6th, and will likely go from 7-10 days.
(my game is simple and undemanding enough that it could run side by side with a mafia game, but I don't want to draw any focus/attention away from the main game)

in i hope/think

Added all of you!

Whenever I get to play I enjoy being there. But this isn't a good moment for me so I'm sitting this one out, unfortunately.

If all goes well I can at least observe.

(Now someone go out there to UK and force Joe to come back!)

Cattes are people too!

Oh, you want to be added. I'm gonna sort it out!

Yeah, I guess it was a conditional add. So if the game ends up being ready to start in 2 days you'd probably need to replace me. But assuming it takes a while to get going, I'm in!

I'm in a similar position as Catte. If this starts right away (read the next 2 weeks) I'll likely not have enough time to take part. If people take their time I might be able to join in afterwards.

Sure sure.
