1. You don't know enough about homestarrunner.com to feel comfortable basing a profile off of the site.

2. You don't have time to play right now.

3. You've seen some StrongBad emails but just don't find them funny.

4. You would, but all the good characters are taken.

5. What? There's a StrongBad mafia game going on?

Here's a question that will get me laughed at and ridiculed, but... WHat is mafia and how do you play?

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Laughed at and ridiculed? Not so. Mafia is a game that involves a team of mafiosi trying to kill a team of townies and vice versa. The mafia kills by nightly hits, and the townies kill by daily lynchings of supposed mafiosi. There are also some "extra" characters, such as a doctor, a sheriff, and a serial killer. These characters just serve to make the game more interesting. Each morning, there is a mafia death posted by the moderator, which may or may not include clues as to who is responsible for the death. Based on these clues and/or private messaging other players, you try to stay alive and kill all of the opposing team. The last team alive wins.

Games usually last two to three weeks and are a heck of a lot of fun. Go to http://www.grenme.com/forum and click on the mafia link for more information. I'm sure there are more rules around somewhere. . . .

7) You are participating in a 1 year self-banning.

Tom, if that's your reason, you are also a wanker.

But it's not a mafia game without celia! Who will I have to distrust if it's not you?

Actually, Celia, that's my reason too. I tried to play a mafia game on GrenME and forgot all about it after a couple of days.

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

I don't think that's what Tom means at all.

Ruth,

You could try not trusting anyone. [Wink]

7. You are going to be away from computers for the next two weeks probably.

7.3: Parents have completely torn apart computer room severely limiting online access, with no visible resolution in sight.

Losers, every last one of you!

8. You don't have the emotional stability or interpersonal insight to be trusted with a mafia character.

1,2,3, and Tom's 6.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Lame, lame, lame, and lame.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Ah, creative name-calling.

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

If you'd like, I could take a hand at creative name calling. Might get me banned, but you'd at least get some entertainment out of it.

1, but did it anyway.
