I'm also glad to see, by reading back over old games, that @jimmynick = jamesn. :thumbup:

Yeah, I made a little tweak to my username. It seems that @Trekkie99 has changed his name from LegoMonorailFan even since signing up for this game.

Needless to say, everybody who signs up will play. :blush:

Yes! Yes. Yes?

What were the questions?

I haven’t been around much but I will be for the next couple of months. Should be fun!

Little known fact, but when I first joined I was "dannylonglegs"

 

But I changed it to the obviously, drastically superior "Dannylonglegs" after a few months. That was the biggest identity change I've had in my life.

When I joined I was Bob the Construction Man for whatever reason. Now it’s just Bob, even though that’s not my name or any variation of it. 

I’ve contemplated changing it to my actual name or to my normal online handle I use everywhere else but I’ve been Bob for over 10 years on EB so it’s not really feasible.

Yeah I feel that. Dannylonglegs has no similarity to my actual name, which is Patrice, but I've grown to identify with it :tongue: I remember the "Construction Man"

Yeah, if Bob de Quatre decides to go to Bob, you'll need to change your name.

Well unlike you then, my username tells the truth :tongue:

I've never played a Hinckley game before – I'm excited to start!

Well, it sounds like the kids are getting restless waiting for the confirmation thread to close, so I'll post this little interview Mafia Monthly ran with me for this game. If you don't read Mafia Monthly, you might've missed it:

Interview with Hinckley

Mafia Monthly: So, you’re hosting another Mafia game?

Hinckley: Yup. Are these going to be a bunch of softball questions?

Mafia Monthly: It’s been a while, huh?

Hinckley: Yup. Last time I hosted was Minimal Mafia, October 2013. Kind of low-key, considering my previous—

Mafia Monthly: Not very good at it, though, are you?

Hinckley: What?

Mafia Monthly: Ahem…You’re not very good at hosting Mafia games, are you?

Hinckley: I thought I was, like…, an EB favorite?

Mafia Monthly: Is that what you thought you, like…, were?

Hinckley: Well, people have given positive feedback that they had fun during my games.

Mafia Monthly: In Baritones 2, did you send players out on jobs?

Hinckley: Well, yeah. There wasn’t a lot of activity in the day thread, so—

Mafia Monthly: What’s that game mechanic called?

Hinckley: It’s not really called anything.

Mafia Monthly: Maybe call it Host-Confirms-4-players-as-Town?

Hinckley: We didn’t really know what we were doing back then. It was 10 years ago—

Mafia Monthly: Did you meddle with The Forest?

Hinckley: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Mafia Monthly: I’m talking about meddling. Adding mechanics so the “story” would go the way you wanted it to?

Hinckley: Um…no. :look:

Mafia Monthly: Who says “Um?”

Hinckley: I just did? :def_shrug:

Mafia Monthly: Did you post in the day thread after you had been lynched in Witch Hunt Mafia?

Hinckley: I didn’t host that one!

Mafia Monthly: Yeah, but you were an asshole as a player, too, weren’t you?

Hinckley: Hey! :oh3:

Mafia Monthly: Let’s talk about The Forest II.

Hinckley: Let’s talk more about how I’m an asshole as a player. :hmpf_bad:

Mafia Monthly: Yeah, nobody talks about The Forest II. So what makes you think people should trust you to host a balanced game?

Hinckley: Well, I’ve learned from my mistakes.

Mafia Monthly: And how did you apply those lessons to your newest game?

Hinckley: Well, I put a lot of thought into how the roles would balance each other.

Mafia Monthly: Really? That’s all? Just a lot of your thoughts?

Hinckley: Well, no… I ran… scenarios…and…

Mafia Monthly: Yes?

Hinckley: I…developed…an algo…rithm…

Mafia Monthly: You developed an algorithm?

Hinckley: Yes?

Mafia Monthly: How did you calculate it?

Hinckley: … OK, shut up. I copied someone else’s mechanics. :cry_sad:

Mafia Monthly: Well, good.

Hinckley: Really. I can’t be trusted so I just copied a set of mechanics from a game I thought had a really nice balance.

Mafia Monthly: But then you added a bunch of weird, fancy shit?

Hinckley: No, no, no. Well, one thing…but no, not really. Not a lot.

Mafia Monthly: Take it out.

Hinckley: Take what out?

Mafia Monthly: Whatever you added. Just copy the better host’s game and add funny dialogue.

Hinckley: OK.

Mafia Monthly: Now, let’s talk about what you think is funny dialogue…

Hinckley: :hmpf_bad:

____________

I will get started with the role selection cups, game character accounts and role PMs as soon as I close the thread, in 4 hours. Expect instructions to log in to your character account on Saturday...possibly Sunday. Sorry, it's a busy weekend. :blush:

I had a couple of ideas for my username when I first joined but none of them worked. Eventually I was like "Well I like Lego monorails". :laugh:

I still like LMF for all my other Lego related accounts, but I like Trekkie99 better and use it for everything else.

Awesome! Right in under the buzzer! Thanks for joining, Fangy.

I've got the cups out and will start assigning characters and roles!

Hooray! It's Mafia time!

I am very new to mafia games hosted by Hinck with Forest in their name.

No one told me I'd have to wear a cup for this game... :look:

:laugh: I take out three cups—not those kind, PAB cups—: the first cup has the player names; the second cup has the character names; the third cup has the roles.

I make a numbered list and one row at a time, select one piece of paper from each cup until the game is set.

Others use random number generation; I'm old-school.

...cuz I'm old...
