I have some venders coming next week and the following week to upgrade some our our systems. I don't know how much time I'll have so I don't want to commit to anything.
Maybe the week of the 20th if a round starts then.

I'm gonna sit this next round out, and watch from the sidelines.
We have 11 and enough for a game. I will try to send out the roles and game rules mid-morning on Monday. I'm coming back from a three week vacay so I may absolutely will be a bit busy with work and it could be delayed to lunchtime.
I'm going to beta-test the "town drunk" role this round. If you DON'T want to play, the town drunk, please post it here. If we get another person or two, I'll try adding the "vigilante/sociopath" role.

Ooooooo, new roles? You know what? I’m in. Will prob be mafia (so I’ll live through the first round), but the potential of new roles has pulled me in.
Ok, Let’s play Mafia - Welcome to the Suck Edition.
There are people waiting on their exam results (Townsfolk), and trolls with burner accounts (Mafia members). There is a rumor that the results won't come out until an appropriate number of examinees are offered as sacrifice. It's obviously BS, but everyone is so stressed out that they believe it anyway. Townsfolk are going to try to eliminate the Mafia before the Mafia eliminates them. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).
In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there may also be a Lawyer (Doctor), a Vigilante, Meme Poster (Town Drunk), or a Forum Admin (Cop). The Doctor can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Mafia chose, then that player will escape having their scores invalidated that night. The Vigilante is a Regular Townsfolk who can occasionally choose someone to have their scores invalidated (be eliminated) during the night. The Town Drunk may only post in this thread in memes, gifs, videos, emojis, etc; but they may vote using normal text; they may use normal text in PMs and in other threads; the Town Drunk is not an exclusive role and may have another role. The Cop can “investigate” players during the night.
During the day, everybody (Townsfolk and Mafia) will publicly vote for a person to sacrifice; I will eliminate the person with the most votes at the end of the day and reveal what their role was.
The Mafia members are going to privately tell me who they would like to eliminate during the night. I will reveal to everyone what happened the next morning. Night eliminated players will not have their role revealed.
The Mafia members know who each other are, but no one knows anyone else’s role except me. I have sent more specific instructions to the members of the Mafia, the Doctor, Vigilante, and the Cop. If you did not receive a PM from me, then you are a regular townsfolk.
You may use this thread to vote and post about the game. Anyone (playing or not playing, eliminated or not) can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.
To vote on a person to eliminate, mention me ( @RBHeadge PE ) in a post on this thread and tell me specifically that 1) you are voting and 2) the username of the person you are voting to eliminate. Please submit your votes by 9:00pm Eastern Time each day; I will count votes after that time as being for the next day.
Your vote only counts if you are playing and not yet eliminated. If there is a tie for most votes, I will pick one of the voted users at random; or have a best 2/3 rock paper scissors match. If there are no votes, I will pick a person at random (i.e. role will not matter) to eliminate; suffice it to say it’s in both groups’ best interest to vote for at least one person.
The first vote will take place tonight on Monday (Jan 6).
For reference, the players in this round are:

Not sure I can play this round. I just received a message from NCEES saying they found out I'm a mechanical engineer and they're re-evaluating my exam after I requested a review and also seeing how much material I actually know based on some of my posts regarding practice problems. I told them I couldn't believe I scored 40/80 and they're willing to audit my exam, so now I'm actually really waiting on results.
If I get them before Monday, I'll continue playing. Of course, this could all be just a ruse....

That feeling when you're not selected to be town drunk
