Obviously the game didn't start yesterday due to lack of players (duh! [Wink] ) It has been postponed for 1 week (as of the last issued time), meaning, charecter bios can be put up (here) until 12:00am est Thursday (Wensday night basically). If we don't get enough submissions at that time the game's going to be postponed for a few months. Sorry guys. [Embarrassed] [Frown]

I still don't understand exactly how this all is done. What would you say the time commitment is? oh, duh, found the FAQ

Pooka? With me playing? It depends. Anyone could easily die within the first 3 days game time (which about averages 6 days real time).

But if you happen to stay alive to the end, I would guess about... 11 real days.

Mafia kill = 1 day
SK kill + lynch = 1 day

How it goes is the first day of real time, it's morning game time, which means the mafia made a kill.

Then the next day real time, it's afternoon of the same day, and the SK gets a kill, followed by the townies voting and lynching a suspect.

So if you take out the SK, it goes by twice as fast afterwords.

I would, good buddy, but I'm busy with another mafia game right now. It's crazy. I think I had 16 windows open last night on this little laptop.

But if we finish this one up by the end of the week, I'll play, even if I have finals coming up.

And, .. I'll see you tomorrow!

Y'know, maybe if I was talented enough to write a bio...

I've been thinking about it, I really want to play mafia, it's so much fun, but I have finals this coming week, and besides, I'm not smart enough to write a bio. [Frown]

Any suggestions? Maybe if I can get a little assistance, then I can play. [Smile]

Silly Raia. There's nothing hard about it. especially nothing to get all [Angst] [Wall Bash] [Confused] about.

1) make a name. You could use your own, or be creative. (Like mine: bullshivitz. or what was t's, j.rancher?)

2) make a reason why you're in the crazy house. Doesn't even have to be a good one.

3) put these two items, along with a few other minor details into a post. If you want, you could make up a little character history, or what the person is like now that makes them interesting.

Once you create the character, it'll grow on ya. Sometimes they are even reported to live on inside your mind, even after the game is done.

[whispers to self] isn't that right, guys. We're all happily alive in this unsuspecting vessel. No mafia lynching can kill us now! [/whisper to self]

The characters don't have to be publishable pieces of literature. if they did, I'd never get to play. Just make up something, try to make it fun, then get ready for a mafia game that'll get you twitching and asking "whens the next game???"

Some day I'm gonna find an excuse to use the [Monkeys] smilie. Some day.

I'll give it a bash....Have read all the FAQ's etc and I'm sure it'll all become even more clear as the game goes on. Only one query, though; will the time difference between Australia and the US pose a problem with voting etc...?

Even so, I'll post a profile on Grenme this afternoon some time.

cheers

Hey, if I'm not a member of GreNME, do I have to register before I can post a bio?

If it's not real litterature or anything, I will try to write a story about my character. But you'll have to forgive my English, as usual [Wink]
