Mafia School: The Witchbreed Signup thread

[def]

Alright folks. This is it. The fourth edition of the wonderful EB Mafia School, a chance for you to improve your skills or simply find some in the first place!

Who is eligible?

EB members who have either never played a mafia game before or have played one (ie. a relative n00b), or someone who has played mafia school games and not passed them. That is, if you have played either one or zero games.

I'm looking for between 16 and 20 players for this game.

As a warm up, I'm asking players to do two things:

1) Post in this thread and confirm that you can log into Eurobricks daily for a month or so. Ideally, a good, fun mafia game should take up about 30 minutes of time a day, and a really fun one can take up an hour or more. If you're Hinckley, it can take up far more Consider it as much more fun than a television show, and it doesn't seem like such a commitment.

2) PM me with your answers to the following questions (Don't post them in thread). You don't need to get them right to get into the game, but it will give me an idea of what players know about the game going into it.

Questions:

A) Mafia games can be easily divided into scum (bad guys) and town (good guys). In a well-hosted mafia game, which of these two kittehs are more likely to be the scum?

a) b)

B) In a standard mafia game, how do you get night actions?

C) What is a vanilla townie expected to do?

If you want to familiarize yourself with mafia, please peruse this site: http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Newbie_Guide

As a mafia school game, the roles will only be basic ones, taken from the 'very basic roles' on this page: http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Roles

I hope to have a lot of fun with this and find some new all-stars for future mafia games. Join in the fun and give it a try

Okay, I failed the Mafia School: Cirque du Freak due to some very stupid mistakes on my part.

I'll join this one, in the hope that I might be able to pass, as long as I don't make mistakes again.

I'll be available, as far as I know.

As I said, I failed the last Mafia School.

I'll PM the answers to the other questions in a few minutes.

Thanks for hosting! I'd love to play, I missed the signups for the last one.

Just wondering. For the non-perfect answers people, are you nudging them in the direction of the right answers in the meantime?

And is it metagaming to target them in the first day? :)

I have been an observer here at EB for a while now, although I haven't posted much. I've played mafia in person, but not on EB.

That said, I have the time availability to be an active participant (perhaps a bit rough on that at Thanksgiving (USA), but should be ok) and will do my best not to offend anyone's sense of grammar or spelling. I did follow the recently completed CdF while it was running.

Hopefully, I have enough posts to PM you! I do!

I have played Mafia school: Cirque Du Freak on EB before, but received Undecided.
