I've never played Mafia before but this looks like fun and I'd like to try. Is there a particular game more suited for newbies to this and/or should I just wait for another new one to open up and make a fool of myself?

I BELIEVE that all games are currently full other than jon joe's CYOR game (which I do NOT suggest as a first game), but I suggest bookmarking this thread and the New Game Announcement thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3743445

If you keep an eye on both, you should be able to catch a new game that starts up. In the meantime, you can also keep an eye on votefinder to see if a new game opens there: http://votefinder.org/

Welcome! And don't worry about making a fool of yourself, everyone involved in mafia is dumb as poo poo anyways so you'll fit right in.

Thanks! I've got this one bookmarked already but will grab the new game thread too. In the meantime I'll sit back and watch and try to learn something!

Throw yourself into whatever! I wouldn't recommend my upcoming series game unless you're interested in really jumping in the deep end. If you are, then by all means I will save a spot for you!

Nah, I'll dip my row in the water first, I think- but thank you for the offer and I'll watch your game to see how things go

I am finalising roles today and it opens in.. 26 hours time.

Only offering it cause you're a newbie, and newbies are cool

No need to shoehorn me into something just for the sake of it, but thank you and I'll lurk your game too

I actually have a small newbie-friendly game I might put up later this week or early next week. Matrix6, so it's only nine players, not one of my unnecessarily-over-researched time period games. More just a gag idea that didn't let go.

I'd be interested in this one too since I suspect either I'll be out of the first game or it'll be over by then

I made some delicious Alfredo sauce today. It's slightly spicy and peppery and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not sure what's up with the chicken though as some of them pieces are a bit hard. I know I didn't overcook the chicken because plenty of other pieces are perfectly fine. I think I just ended up getting a bit of a tough breast because one of them was difficult to cut up.

I'm always looking for a good Alfredo recipe if you feel like sharing.

TMMadman posted:

It's pretty simple and uses the standard Alfredo base: 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 4 1/2 tbsp butter, 2 1/2 tbsp flour. I start by melting about half the butter and then adding minced garlic and crushed red pepper (I never really measure these) for a minute or so. Then I use the rest of the butter and when it's melted, I add in the flour and whisk that around for another minute or so. Then I whisk in the milk and after it starts to thicken up a little, I whisk in the cheese. Add salt and pepper and keep whisking until it's done.

If I had to guess, I probably used around a tbsp of garlic (possibly more) and somewhere between 1/4 or 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper. If I had a pepper mill, I'd probably also put fresh pepper in with the garlic/crushed red pepper at the start.

Awesome, thanks. Will probably try that this week!

Also, I was assuming you've made Alfredo before, so you know to use a medium/low heat and not overcook the milk.

Honest question from someone who has yet to mod their own game here:

Do people tend to like lots of flavor, or very little flavor, or somewhere in-between?

I fee like I've seen successful games in all three categories and I'd like to mod my own game at some point but I'm unsure how much I need to work on and/or worry about flavor and lots of background info.

Does it tend to be something players really like and get into, or no?
