Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Mafia Game!

Yup

It'll be really neat to try hosting! Excited you're all interested

we need to have at least 5 more people.

I'll join, as long as somebody explains the basics on how to play.

Spectre there are so many variations of this game that it is best to read through some past game threads. Pay attention to the opening posts to see the rules for each game. The rest is Read read read. 

Basics:
Good guys/gals
Bad guys/gals
Neutral guys/gals

Each has a win clause and you don't know who is who.

i will likely join after the current game is over

In the meantime, here's a reeeeeally old thread that is kind of useful for understanding mafia games here. per virt98

but they're always a bajillion times more complicated than that

the game takes place in the public forum (similar to this) that will be set up for the game by the moderator(s) and in private messages (PMs) set up by the moderator(s) and/or among players. the forum is open for all to read - you can and should read the first 2-3 pages and the last 2-3 pages of a few prior games to get the feel for it. i look forward to having you in the game. we had 4 new players for the current game, we will see how many of them enjoyed it enough to join this one.

Tenn, I'll put you down.

preferably we would have at least 2 more people...

more people will probably sign up after the current one ends

yeah, as long as we don't go over 21 it'll be fine probably,

I'm in!

2O♧ active. "I AM MAFIA, with a night kill, -2 lynch vote, fake passport, burner phone, and few other abilities'

So uh, when do we get to learn the special rules of this game?

We'll only know this game's specific rules once the game starts.
