This is the signup thread for Basic #85: uPick Mafia, an Basic mafia game for 12 players created by Prophylaxis and reviewed by ganderin_dan and pinkys_brain.
This game is a uPick game! What is a uPick game, you may ask? Well, stolen from mafiascum:
UPick games are common in Chat Mafia. The players send in a potential role name, such as Fox Mulder, to the Game Moderator. The moderator will then create a role based around the role name. Sometimes players may fish for a particular role type (for example, fishing for Mafia by sending in 'Don Corleone'), but trying to 'outwit' the mod in such a manner generally does not work. A number of UPick Mafia games have been run in the forums now, often as Theme Games.
When you sign up, please PM me with a character name from any work of fiction or real life. When the signups are complete, I will randomize the roles with the characters, ensuring that it's impossible to flavorgame. I will then spend a day or two writing up flavor for the role PMs, then I will begin the game. Despite the uPick mechanic I assure you it is a normal Basic mafia, with no special strings attached. Unlike the quote above, I will not create a role for you based on the character names submitted - I already have a basic designed, and will adapt the flavor to suit the roles, rather than the other way around.
Before signing up, it's important to note that mafia games require an extended time commitment. Please only sign-up if you foresee yourself being able to participate for the next several months, and being able to post during that period, on average, at least once every 48 hours, without many absences of 3 or more days.

FWIW, I didn't pick up on any traits that would have outlined you has autistic.

2. One real completed game (The Walking Dead)
3. Is collapsing randomly under pressure a playstyle? No? Well, that's all I do anyway.
