It's great to see so many respectable old faces coming back. Now if we could just drag bateleur, puzzle, and carrion pigeons out of hiding it would be like old times again. And Arimnaes too.
I miss LJustus & AbbeyGargoyle as well. :-(

@fadeblue: I have no idea. I pop in once every couple years to a chorus of "holy crap, it's Ged" and "who is Ged?". I have fond memories of being up at like 12:30 and so tired I'd act goofy and get temp-banned for "being drunk". This was, of course, about 3 years before my first alcoholic drink. Now when I show up I'm inevitably ****faced (or as we like to say in these parts, "CropCircled") and no one ever calls me on it. Funny how that works.
This makes me unbelievably happy. Although, in recent years, I've found new methods of recreation.
Everyone remember when CropCircles came back for 5 minutes, everyone got excited, then he left without a word?
Yeah, I tend to do that from time to time.
I think after this attempt, I'll finally be saying a real farwell to Mafia. Every time I try to get back into it, it proves to be too time consuming, I fall behind and end up getting replaced. And I feel bad because I know how much it sucks having to replace players. I really miss this game, but it seems it's just not in the cards.
Mayhap I'll remember to stop by here now again for a drunk post or two, for old time's sake.
Few enough that I've seen. Not to mention then forum in general seems quite dead comparatively, with games rarely going above 20 players. Just seems anemic compared to what it was before.

A few of us. Less prolific than back in the day, but still here.
Find a game to get in and I'll play that one though.

Quote from Bateleur »
Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
This makes me unbelievably happy. Although, in recent years, I've found new methods of recreation.
I really wanna just hang out with you in real life, CC.
Back at ya buddy.
Although of all the people on this site that I'd want to meet, Puzzle might be number one. I'd like to meet the man behind the cunning plan.
So here's a Memorable Mafia Moment throwback for ya:
In the first Random Mafia, chamber was a cult leader with the unique ability to be able to recruit Mafia members, who would then have both the Mafia and Cult win con. Early in the game, he recruits scumAzrael, who comes up with the dastardly plan of uniting scum groups for an easy win.
Then Az gets killed at night.
Day 3, we run up jcsuperstar, recent cult initiate, who unfortunately decides to be honest about being a cultist, and for some reason names DragynMage as the cult leader, who was part of the Mafia. Feeling betrayed, DM then outs chamber as jc's leader. Chamber, realizing that he can no longer win, outs the rest of the Mafia. What follows is the scum trying to convince power roles to side with them in a desperate attempt to scrape out a win.
On day 3, the scum were one mislynch away from winning the game. Then through sear newbness and vindictiveness, manage to blow they game open in less then 8 hours. The last 4 pages of that game are hilarious. Probably the funniest endgame I've ever been a part of.
I'm also thinking of possibly hosting a game - what are the queue times like lately?
Depends on the queue. Basic is less than a year. Normal is forever. Specialty is, too. Minis are rapido. Your best bet, depending on how long you're sticking around, is a Mini or the next FTQ, depending on how long mine takes. Alternatively, you could submit something to the Mafia Throwdown thread!

Well, large games have definitely gone out of fashion because they're so much more work, but we have an awful lot of smaller games firing off. Overall, I think our player numbers are probably higher than any other time in our history.

Instantaneous, if you're in a PCQ/FTQ slot. Check out the mafia design throwdown thread - that's firing in about three months or so, and I expect we'll start churning out extra PCQ rounds starting around that time, as well.

Eh, that's not entirely fair. There are in fact a large number of players around. They just appear to have a lower general skill level and attention span. >_>

This seems like the right thread for something nobody will care about.
Anyone here watch the American show Elementary? If so, I noticed the villain's scheme in the latter episode tonight had big overlaps with the evil scheme in my own The Asphodel Meadows.
The Asphodel Meadows: Evil syndicate the Associated Press enlists (willingly recruits) the aid of an English national to kill an Irish favorite son to stir protests (due to historical troubles between the two countries), causing a vote on European Union membership in Ireland to fail, causing a currency spike and netting them billions.
Elementary: Evil mastermind Moriarty enlists (pressgangs into service) the aid of a Greek national to kill a Macedonian favorite son to stir protests (due to troubles over history between the two countries), causing a vote on European Union membership in Macedonia to fail, causing a currency spike and netting Moriarty billions.

That's pretty awesome.
Jesus Xyre how many games have you modded? I've been in three of them!
Oh, god, I don't even know.
Let's see... I think there were three at MTGNews and two at GoodGamery, and here there was Blood Moon, Greenwood, Fiasco, Asphodel, Unreal City, Ozone Underground, and Redux 2. So, seven here, twelve total? Yeeesh.
Holy **** it's fadeblue. I still have some logs from fadebot. Jesus Christ, that must have been like a decade ago.
It's getting close to a decade ago! Man, I feel old now... Are there still active IRC players?
I've missed IRC mafia quite a bit. I've visited it a couple of times but no one's playing. However, It's on the agenda to organize a group MTGS outing to IRC mafia in the future. Just need to figure out when to plan it and produce some light-reading for those new to the whole thing.
Heh. I played IRC Mafia with XylBot once and someone raged so hard at me for trying to get them lynched...I don't remember who it was, but Tanarin might. I was scum in that game.

He's still around hte Forum. I PM'd him a while back asking about Mafia and his reply, to put simple, was he's not coming back.
I haven't played in a game with Hawkeye since MTGN so many years ago.
Yeah, I tend to do that from time to time.
I think after this attempt, I'll finally be saying a real farwell to Mafia. Every time I try to get back into it, it proves to be too time consuming, I fall behind and end up getting replaced.
