Can I get spec access for both games?

Got you. The thread just opened, so right now it's literally you and the gamerunners.

Also, I'm tracking three requests for mentors. I'll assign mentors today and get boards set up this afternoon/evening. If you would like a mentor, contact your gamerunner.

I never got my mentor for my first game can I have one for this game?

This time around (like we used to in previous seasons) we're having one spectator thread for the entire season instead of one for each game.

That means you can only be part of it if you are not in any roster, or in the replacement list waiting to enter a game. But hopefully it will get crowded over time \o/

Mentors will be assigned later tonight or tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay - WifeMG got sick and I've been wrangling the baby by myself all day. Makes doing mafia stuff way more difficult.

Mentor threads are open! If you requested a mentor, you should have a thread on Outer Mafia. If you don't, please let me know.

I saw Terra mention my daughters condition in the game thread so I thought I would post an update for anyone that saw it.

Good news everyone! It is looking like a case of aplastic anemia, which basically means her bone marrow was being suppressed due to a viral infection she had. She is going to be getting a blood transfusion over the next 48hrs and will likely be out of the hospital in a few days. It's not a common occurrence but something they see often enough that they aren't worried and have reassured us that we shouldn't be either.

Deva, I'm so glad to hear that it's much better than hoped. Or feared I guess. Words are complicated. Either way. Here's good healing to her and a sigh of relief to you.

Glad to hear she's okay! Hope she gets better soon. :>

Thanks ya'll. I once experienced a life or death situation for myself and the only thing that went through my mind at the time was "hmm so this is how it ends." but when my wife called me about our daughter this morning while I was at work I literally could not stop bawling, like I mean full on whimpers and and not stop bawling just thinking about my baby girl being in that situation. It kind of goes to show you the effect your kids can have on you.

I thought my son had died in my arms on my vacation to Myrtle beach. I literally couldn't process. That was maybe the worst feeling I have ever experienced.

I am so happy that your child is going to be okay. Seriously.

Awesome news Deva! I can not imagine how worried you were. I'm so glad everything is looking so positive given the scare.

Is there any rule against having multiple game boards active at once? Had a random idea for a theme a moment ago and quickly knocked out the start to a spreadsheet. It isn't ready yet but I wanted to know if I'd need to wait regardless to get it a home.

Geez, I couldn't imagine. Seriously, I'm glad she's okay. Wishing the best to you and your wife as well.

I'm so happy to read that, Deva. Give her a lot of hugs <3

Natiko you mean like Volcano Island? Are you making a second Volcano Island? You have to tell me if you are.
Talking seriously: not really, feel free to make your design and let me know when it's ready for reviewing.


Hi hi, everyone, like Retro said the Review Team has a few announcements to make:

After checking in with gamerunners and reviewers , we saw that there is a significant amount of mafia games currently being worked on, almost 20 (which is incredible!). For this reason we are temporarily closing submissions for new games, as we wouldn't have enough reviewers to balance them and the old ones at the same time. That's only until we can bring that number down a fair amount.

The last game that was submitted was Fran's "Conspiracy", which is still in need of 2 reviewers. Which brings me to the second topic:

If you are comfortable with Mafia rules and would like to help games created by our own community to be approved and hosted in a future season, let me know if you are interested in becoming one of our many reviewers. You'd be in charge of talking directly with the designer and making sure the game is polished, fair and enjoyable for us all (of course, you won't be able to play that specific game after reviewing it) <3
Ah, and you are not required to have run a game to be a reviewer~

When I posted this in the last OT, we only had 3 games ready to launch (we'd lose Buffy and another one for the launch of Season 11 so technically we only had one stored for the future). After almost a month, we now have 10 games being reviewed (down from ~20), and 5 games ready.


The situation is a whole lot better, and I think it's time to open submissions for new games again \o/ If you have a design you want to host with us in the future, sent me it via a PM here or in Discord, and I'll find you some reviewers to work with you.

So this is a bit of an embarassing question, but how do you search for a single person's posts in a topic? On GAF we would go to the top posters link and then the number of posts next to their name would be a hyperlink to all their posts in that topic. Thanks!!!

Search bar at the top of the page, click it and you get a context menu, select to search in this thread only and then put in the member names you want to search

I was down sick when this first came up, but I'm really glad to hear she's okay, Deva. There's nothing scarier than the thought that something might be wrong with your kid.

Can I have access to spec thread for console wars?

Even with the above, do you still want in?

Hello! I'm not usually over in Etc but I was bored yesterday and clicked over to this thread since I have some mafia experience.

I read through the whole Berserk thread today and last night since I was familiar with the source material and it seemed really fun :') I'll be reading the new games and hopefully joining in next time!

Also, um. I signed up for the OuterMafia site but I was kinda confused. I thought it was just some general site but if you guys are the admin, an app with the name Faircure is me :( Sorry if I goofed.

Wooo, nice to meet you faircure ;3

Outer Mafia is a forum like this one, primarily used to host the private chats between Mafia members and things like that. I saw your account and approved it ^^

I also hope to see you playing with us soon, and join us on Discord if you want to talk about whatever until then!

Aw, thank you for the nice welcome! <3
I'd love to join the Discord. Do I just PM you my account?

Reading like 4k replies in one day is some achievement material

O.o

I got really into it >_<

And maybe I skimmed some of the really long posts and pages where not much happened haha
