It’s 3am and suddenly I’m struck by a sudden urge to do a big research project about Mafia and mafia on SA in particular. Is there any spreadsheet with up-to-date stats on role win rates/player winrates/etc? I remember seeing that eg the town correctly found scum on day one a shockingly high percentage of the time, but that was data from many many many years ago

Just wanted to announce something to potentially garner some interest...





(Launching some time at the end of June)

I've promised a lot of games only to never even start them or see them through, but this one I've actually been working on for quite a while. I plan on doing a series of escape games (loosely based on the show "The Great Escape"). I intend on having 10 people max, at least for the first game, where signups will be done via questionnaire/hand picked like Myst or the Survivor games were. Each iteration (if it goes well) will have a central theme/plot, a lot of difficult rooms to get through as a team (or wherever your journey leads you with particular teammates, yourself, or your entire team), a point system/leaderboard for the players who solve individual puzzles (escaping is the ultimate prize, but points are a fun way to see how people are contributing), and important decisions that may ultimately lead to you escaping or dying trying to get out. Everybody will have a unique experience/story/role within your interactions with each other, NPCs, and anything else that may pop up. If anybody has interest in being in the game or being used as a "human puzzle" in a sense, PM me, and I can let you know either when the thread is up officially, or how I could use you in the game. But yeah, additional information + in depth stuff on rules, etc will be explained once the thread is posted.

Still a little over a month away from when I intend to make a signup thread, but just thought I'd poke my head in!

I'm not really very interested in mafia at the moment and am signed up for Thingyman's thing. I can play, but I'd be willing to trade out my spot to someone more willing. The game starts June 10 at 8PM Eastern. Would anyone like to sub in?

You would be playing in a game with 16 people from other communities, and you'd be there to represent Something Awful.

Expect at least 600 posts per 24 hours, and you should be able to comfortably meet the minimum posting requirement of 10 posts per game day.

Game starts tomorrow, so not a lot of time left to finalize this.
