The Elder Scrolls: Mafia - signup thread

[Zewp]

I don't think we've ever had a mafia game here. I see someone else had a sign-up thread a few years back but that didn't seem to go anywhere.

If you don't know what Mafia is, the Mafia Wiki is a very good place to start. The basic formula of mafia is that there are two groups of players. The informed party (mafia members) and the uninformed party (civilians). The mafia members know who each other are, but the civilians don't know anyone else's role. The aim is for either party to eradicate the other. During the day phase all players converse and eventually vote on a player to be lynched, which then reveals that player's allegiance and removes him from the game. During the night phase the mafia conspire to secretly lynch one player.

At it's heart, mafia is a game of intrigue, plots, deception and betrayal. It works very well in a forum setting, provided nobody cheats. It's really amazing fun, so I highly suggest you sign up even if you've never played before. It's not very hard to get into.

Do note that if you wish to play you're going to have to be available to post and vote at least once a day (and some of you will have to be available for nightly votes) between Monday and Friday. The game will only run on weekdays, because most of us are busy over weekends and that makes participation a bit difficult. The minimum participation is posting at least once a day in the thread, but the more often you can post and interact with fellow players, the better for you.

So, if you're interested in playing please post it in this thread and I'll add you to the list of players. For the purposes of the format I'm going to be using, we'll need as many players as possible, but I would say 16 players are going to be the minimum. 20 players or more would be ideal, because it means I can flesh out the game a lot more with multiple factions and different roles.

The theme for the game will be Elder Scrolls, but due to the nature of Mafia, do not expect it to be 100% lore friendly. Daedra sightings have been confirmed, however.
