The Mafia Discussion Thread

[Josh]

Don't you dare laugh at my home chili concoction. It's delicious.

[-A-]

Delicious, seasoned with the blood of prostitutes?

[Josh]

WHAT I DO WITH MY PROSTITUTES IS MY DAMN BUSINESS!

[Pesci]

Josh, I want to know what you've been doing at night and how it can help us. You were inactive in Smash Bros. Mafia--this is true--but you were also inactive in all Mafias (including the early stages of Jobber Mafia III, as I recall) at that point. So I don't buy the defense that this is the way you acted in another game where you were town.

I've been working a closing shift for Stoney River Legendary Steaks, then coming home and eating chili with diced onions, salsa, and mustard, with some tortilla chips. Then I'll usually check the usual online hangouts and haunts (EWB included), and after that I typically fall asleep watching an old episode of MST3K. That's what I've been doing most nights anyway.

:lmao:

Yeah, that was awesome. Apathetic Josh > *. He should be this bad ass in every game.

[Plubby]

He paid good money for this, and dammit he's getting his hours' worth!

[-A-]

And taking home what's left in a doggie bag.

[TEOL]

Too rehearsed. I think he's been out murdering prostitutes again.

Hey, I can prove where I was the whole -

Oh wait. You meant... sorry. I got confused.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me.

Be it known that I only want him lynched because he only answered half my question. He didn't tell us how his chili diet could help us. That fucking rat.

[Josh]

Hey, I eat other things too. Like canned soup. Mmmmm.

Yeah, I eat cheap food.

And THAT'S how I can help you! Financially!

Now I demand protection.

[Sousa]

...shit, someone protect Josh.

Mythology Mafia:

[Your Mom]

I've been put in a bit of a position. I know like nothing about Mythology and I'm supposed to be the leader.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

There is exactly one huge drawback to my role. Guess what it is!

[Momo]

So I've just read through the entirety of WWF 1999 Mafia so far, and fuck was that hilarious. I'm sorry Teej, but I couldn't help but laugh. By the way, you should really get that popping vein in your temple looked at.

[TGC]

I did. I was told that I have "calm the fuck down you old bastard do you wanna stroke out?" syndrome.

[The Mask of Norro]

You're playing up to your newfound gimmick perfectly Teej, don't listen to the haters. Just start calling everyone your friends before you rip them to shreds with your hands and teeth.

[Sousa]

Well, hands and dentures anyway.

[The Mask of Norro]

Same message, just that one has something detachable for when you want to get REAL freaky.

So, I've got a suggestion to make that'll require RW (and everyone else) to get on board. What would we think about running some Newbie Mafia games? It seems like there are quite a few instances of players joining in when they're not really sure what's going on. This leads to them potentially messing up games with their stink and also irritating other people. We rightly criticise their play and they get pissed off because they don't realise they're doing something stupid and then probably end up leaving the Game Cube, never to return.

If we run a small 7-person game, when there are enough new guys who want to try it, they can learn some basics of mafia play that'll avoid them inserting their newbie feet in their newbie mouths. They're not going to learn what power roles might be out there or how to make sophisticated plays, but I think they can get an idea of things like 'when to make a roleclaim' 'when an investigator should out themselves' and 'how many mafia are there.' It'll also be much easier to pick up on who's scum because they're all operating with the same general level of mafia knowledge. There aren't going to be evil geniuses that know how to bully the town and there aren't going to be people to be disgusted by the shitty play they'll likely have to put up with.

I think this is the kind of thing that can be run separately from the list, which is why this requires RW's permission in particular. The games aren't going to involve the same guys that are playing in the normal games (and there are only 7 of them) and I think it'd be beneficial if we can run one whenever there's demand. Anybody think this is a good idea? It'll hopefully stop people joining games when they're not really ready and might make it possible to draw in some people who would otherwise be driven out of because they stink up our games.

[Matt]

Probably best to make it a 9 man game and put 2 "established" players in for them to learn from. Good idea though.
