We've been playing this game for about a year or so now. The premise is that you have a few people who are "Mafia", and the rest are "Townies." The goal is for the Mafia to eliminate everyone else, or for the townies to determine who the mafia are and eliminate them. Whoever meets their team's goal first wins.

The catch is that, on the surface, everyone appears to be the same, and everyone votes "during the day" together to eliminate one person. So it's a game of psychology, deception, and people-reading.

We got enough attention that @RBHeadge PE participated for "Team EB" on a multi-forum mafia tournament a couple months ago.

In addition we have a fun time conversing about other things.

There's also quite a bit of logic and game theory too.

But beyond the game itself, it a great way to do team and community building with other posters. We socialize during and between games. Its a great way to stay active in between the high traffic exam periods.

And @JayKay PE & @MadamPirate PE kill people off in really gruesome ways.

I've been woodchipped 3 times? 4 times? Once on a dating show...

A woodchipper is a necessity for both. You never know.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Woodchipping?  In a dating show?  That'd be as ridiculous as @Audi driver, P.E. dressed as a femme fatale.

Well, both have occurred, so by definition it's no longer ridiculous.

I mean, you're always maf, unless you're not.  Which is confusing.

Guilty unless proven innocent (which usually happens via lynching). 

 

[JayKay PE]

I completely forgot about the Budweiser/Covid round, and I fucking modded it.  

Also, through that thread, we confirmed that @blybrook PE is actually a real bear and @Roarbark is a bork bork bork who is good with taking care of @ChebyshevII PE's 103 children.

It's a gas.

 

[LyceeFruit PE]

There was that time I had @NikR_PE runover by a come-from-away in an RV.

Which is one of the top posts in the maf thread. So I'm pretty proud of that.

Must have been in one of the million posts I was tagged in that I never read. Not reading posts in there is a good plan, @Road Guy. It's worked for me. I believe I am the winningest player to date.

It's a freaking party, lemme tell ya.

 

[Audi Driver P.E.]

It's a lemon party, lemme tell ya.

FIFY

 

[Road Guy]

So its kind of social?

 

[ChebyshevII PE PMP]

All of the above.

When we aren't murdering each other, yeah.
