Welcome to FF4: The Mafia Years.

This is going to be a mostly-standard role madness game. I have a few oddities thrown in because I can't help myself, but nothing crazy. I know that a couple games just finished sign ups, so I'll let this sit open for awhile if it doesn't fill up right away.

Flavor is important to this game, but not necessarily in the way you might think. Be careful with your assumptions.

I am going to try using discord for OOT communications, so be aware of that when you sign up. If it ends up being a problem to people, we will revert to the google sheet method, but I don't think there's many things that will open google sheets but not discord.

Days will be 48 hours, nights 24 hours. If a deadline is awkward for enough people, I will extend it. This is for things like holidays generally, not game apathy.

Regulation Mafia Spiel here:
FF4:TMY is a closed set up game for up to 17 players. If we don't get to 17 I can cut it down a little.

Standard mafia rules apply, including, but not limited to:
-No editing your posts
-No talking OOT about the game unless specifically allowed
-Do not directly post mod PMs. If you think something might be questionable, ask me.
-No spectator posts.
-No posting after hammer
-If you die, do not post in the thread (a contentless ghost post is fine)
-No encryption, no toxx, no truth or dare
-Do I really need to keep going?
-Seriously, just be cool. This is a game we play with internet people for fun. Treat it as such.

Sample Win Con:
You win when all threats to the blue planet have been eliminated.

If this starts after the weekend I will play but if it's starting before I shouldn't so use your own discretion if I'm signed up or not

Also this is an affront to CPig!

I'll sign you up for now, and if we end up full too early for you I will take it from there.

Also if CPig didn't want me to run FF4:TAY mafia, he should have done it before he ran 5. He missed his chance.

I was planning on running it as part of a special "extra short final fantasy games that expand on the original stories" mafia game.

I'm glad. I only did after years because you said you were doing main series and stopping at 10 or 10-2.

(Yes, this means I have plans for other games you might be skipping, most notably 11, 14, and type-0. If you are planning on running any of those or other side games, let me know)

Sure, anyone is welcome. You will either need platinum for private messaging, or to get me an email address or the like so I can send you game communications.

Don't worry, I saw you talk about tactics, I already had it mentally earmarked as yours.

Keane makes 12, I can cut the game down to 13 if necessary, so we are between 1 and 5 signups away from starting.

I don't have a problem with that either. I've got work shortly, but should we get at least one sign up by the time I'm off I'll get the setup tweaked to however many we have tonight and role PMs out tonight or in the morning.

Ok, sign ups are still open, but this hits my minimum, so I'll close them when I get home and I'll get PMs out tonight.

Edit: Signups are closed, PMs are about half done, fighting sleepiness to get them finished before bed.

PMs should all be out, excepting wheredashimapansat who I am waiting on a friend accept on discord to get ahold of.

Thread is remaining open so players may confirm, but...

It is now Night 0. Unless your role PM specifically mentions a Night 0 action, you do not have one.

I am going to bed. Hopefully night 0 actions will be queued up when I awaken, and the game can start in earnest tomorrow.
