I hate inaction. More often than not, they are actually town-aligned and just busy/apathetic, but I'll go after them all the same. I played up the inaction angle as a mafia member one time and it worked well until I just couldn't help myself. It's just not very fun to be purposefully inactive.

Fynn raised a point in the game thread that I thought was worth talking about.
So Fynn; how many games of Mafia have you played? It'd be interesting to know who's really new and who's played it before, both on EoFF and elsewhere. For me, this'll be my third time overall.
I had never played a forum mafia. I've played countless games of irl mafia in the past during choir trips, school excursions and friendly sleepovers. It's been a good couple of years since I've played, though
In terms of games of EoFF, I've only played 7 out of the whopping 25-30 games that have been run.
I never heard of the game before people said lets play Mafia. Day one and two blunders came of feeling out the game. Will do better from this point out.
I've never played IRL Mafia. How is it run different to forum Mafia?
Basically, no PM'ing means the game is much faster and simpler. The game master first says something like "nightfall, town goes to sleep" and everyone closes their eyes. Then they say "Mafia wakes up" and only the mafia open their eyes while all the others have theirs closed. They have to non-verbally communicate who they want to kill. And later on, the same is repeated for the town roles - the catani, as we called what you called the doctor, chooses who to protect, and the courtesan chooses who to check if they're mafia, and they don't know anything about anyone else.
So basically, lots of eyes closing and opening, non-verbal communication at nighttime, and then lynching at daytime. Usually there's a greater percentage of mafia than what we have here since it's kind of easier for them to die.
Ooh, sounds like fun.
Now all I need is a group of... oh, right.
Im guessing there's less emphasis on reading tells in posts as well. Are you allowed to take notes? Because I can see memory being a problem later on.
Probably depends. Nobody took notes when we did it since we essentially treated it as a party game, but if you want to get super serious, you can state notes are recommended at the beginning of the game.
I'd love to play it IRL sometime! I've just resorted to the online versions, playing on EoFF, Something Awful and mafia scum. I didn't really like playing on mafia scum, infuriatingly slow!
After this game is finished, if there's interest I'd be happy to host maybe a quick weekend game if a group of people would all be online for 2-3 hours. That or a week long game that would be paced quite similarly to this one. I'd even dust off the old mafia accounts!
We'll just have another get together at my house and we'll play Mafia then. Unless you're too sick again.
