I'm Mafia's most active non-player ever, and I ain't even on the Council.

Prado, you've played before, haven't you?

Yeah I've played. I've also co-GM'd.

It's just I skip a lot of games because I'm busy with school, and I tend to come in at the end to crack jokes about games I wasn't even paying attention to.

Some people call me the space cowboy...

Good game everyone and thanks to GMs for good set-up and running this one.

Sorry to hear people are leaving the Mafia Council. Thank-you for.doing a thankless.task.

I won't even bother.putting my name forward.

@Jamie - I was going for the double/triple bluff based on my meta that i fake claim and also real claim when i shouldn't. xorsex (I think) called it right but others were surprised so it could've worked .

@teacon and Jamiet... I am not level headed. I am just old.

So... how is everyone?

@Darg - oh good. level headed AND experienced. :)

@ND any notion of when you'd like to start? What (ish) kind of setup do you have?

Sunday March 26th was the day ND and I discussed. The setup is a nonstop thrill ride; full of imagination and familiar roles/flavour and joy.

That's a short but solid break. Sounds good to me.

Nonstop thrill ride

but is it balanced

we have not yet received feedback to the proposal, but any balance feedback will be incorporated.

Obviously Vash and I should be on the balancing committee, as we're responsible for the Totally Most Balanced Role Madness Game Ever (TM)

I don't think anyone involved in the setup of that Role Madness game has any right to ever be on the Council. Their judgement is clearly impaired.

Says meme

Good game everyone.

Good effort HR, you nearly made it all the way through. Thanks for the thoughts that I was MVP, I did try my best.

100% certified balanced setup

Discord 5 Is seeking additional subs. Anyone interested let me know.

So I have a few questions.

1) is Maniac GMing M28 or are we letting myself and ND run our setup which we submitted.

2) are the new council members (if there are any) being selected by HR handpicked or is there an actual process to pick them?

3) Is there going to be any penalty for Jamie dead posting (2nd offense).

4) are there any penalties for meme, guak, zorclex for being replaced/modkilled

5) am I unbanned from gm-ing since I demonstrated in M27 I can be responsible and helpful to a gm staff as a subordinate?

Obviously this is all @HR so take your time. I understand you are busy and work plus now you have to decide everything alone since the whole council essentially gave up.

Oh also I am sad to hear that this community has gotten too negative - so to the point that we have gm's arguing with each other; council members resigning and mudslinging.

So I do apologize if I contributed to any of this negativity driving people to resign. I like everyone in this community and feel they all contribute uniquely. I think we should be careful not to just start banning people in excess for being replaced. And we should be willing to talk through any issues the community has.

Were here to play mafia and make that a fun aspect of the forum. Thats really simple. The politics and infighting appeals to the lowest form of entertainment reality tv generation.

I'm actually surprised there's negativity toward the council. As much shit as I give it, they have done a pretty good job and we've had a good run of very successful games, with minimal drama IMO. It's too bad to see meme and Flum go, I will miss playing with them and meme was always a good go-to for advice or help with GMing.

I requested the following people to get a game ban from the next game: zorclex, meme, goldfinger0303, jamiet99uk. I assume HR will deal with it when he has time.

Why would goldfinger be banned?

I don't think zorclex or meme really deserve bans. They both posted several times on the days they were modkilled, they just didn't vote. Shit happens.

It's nowhere near the same as the kind of shit guak pulled a few games ago.

I don't mind not giving Zorc or meme a ban, but meme is the one who made me put in the must cast a vote rule in my game when I didn't want one.
