we didn't list him because
1) he said bye

2) He'll be back in 6 months.

Oh, I didn't see either of those.

Just remember him from a few games when I first started.

Yours is like the one that I'm still alive in that isn't to dead or boring, but that is 1 of 6 I'm in currently in so unfortunately my over-generalization still applies.


Maybe it's just me though, maybe I'm starting to burn out or loose interest or something. I've been debating letting my games run there course and quiting for awhile. It's just not as fun as it used to be.

Mafia was originally come up with by a college professor for a class, in Russia I believe. I know of a few schools that use the 'real-life' version, that's how I got into it (I've got a minor in psychology). Not weird at all.

That's correct. It originated as a party game. Though I don't know how nights work

I think mod tells everyone to close their eyes, then tells mafia to open their eyes, then they write down who they want to kill. There are variations on this I presume though.

And I'm gonna get some practice in real life and really whoop you guys but good.

As for the lackluster performance of these modern mafia games, is it because of the number of people? Because I think endgame is usually the most exciting part of some of these games, and in smaller games, endgame comes quickly. Also, I've noticed that people are REALLY reluctant to lynch. I mean granted, you can't be too gung-ho lest you become suspect, but still, everyone plays very cautiously. I admit to doing it to sometimes, but I try to break the habit when I notice it.

I can't dispute this fact, however I've been in 3+ since I started playing and very rarely drop below that so it seems there is something else wrong, in addition to this.

Just loosing interest, I think.

I agree about fucked up setups becoming the norm, but meh that's far from being a necessity to make a game enjoyable. Both can suck if the players make it so =)
