In the last newbie game, Mattchew ended up coaching about five players just because he posted a blue one-line reminder shortly after the start of the game. I guess timing is important for advertising.

Will swap you out for Seviro and put you on replacements, as I'd rather give this opportunity to people who aren't playing in other games.
MidnightGladius is busy, if he shows up before the deadline, you'll get roles tonight, if he doesn't you'll get them tomorrow night.Last edit: 2012-04-22 10:35:37 |

This is the first game I've played so what would be the best place to get an overview of how everything works? |

There's a list of guides in the fourth post in this thread, labelled "Newbie specific stuff". Note that a critical element of forum mafia is to read and re-read everything thoroughly. If you don't do that, your input as town is likely to be worse than useless. That applies to the game setup posts too.
I strongly recommend that you read a few other games before you play too. The recent Newbie Mini Mafia VIII is quite fun and gives you meta on some players in this game. Day 1 is mostly an example of good town play, day 2 is mostly an example of bad town play and day 3 is an example of what happens when you're too tired and and confused to think straight.

Ok, thanks for the advice. |

MajuGarzett, the player list is currently full, but the next game should be taking signups soon after this one begins. Alternatively, if you want to join the replacement list, just let me know, and I'll add you to it.
To everyone else, roles will be going out this afternoon/tonight. |

| Whoops, sorry for the confusion. MajuGarzett is now in the game, and Seviro is out. Thanks for your patience, everyone. I'm waiting for GMarshal to confirm that everything is good to go, and then we'll get this party started :D. |

Day 1:
"Every significant decision affecting China's 1.3bn people is first discussed and approved by a handful of men who sit on the party's political bureau (politburo), the nexus of all power in China.
The 24-member Politburo is elected by the party's central committee. But real power lies with its nine-member standing committee, which works as a kind of inner cabinet and groups together the country's most influential leaders.
How the standing committee operates is secret and unclear. But its meetings are thought to be regular and frequent, often characterised by blunt speaking and disagreement. - The Economist"
MidnightGladius groaned softly, rubbing his bloodshot eyes and frowning at the six 21-inch screens arrayed on the desk before him. The transfer of power was supposed to have a quiet, orderly affair, a chance for China to show its progress as a modern nation, a modern leader. Now, with news of Boss Xilai flooding the media, conspiracy theories were popping up faster than state censors could quash them, like mosquitoes hatching in his native Jiangsu Province. The buzzing insects were no true threat, but they could leave a body marked with swollen red bumps and a dreadful itch. The affairs of state could not tolerate such foolishness. He returned to his work, scanning financial statements, following four major stock markets, and occasionally glancing at the latest posts on Sina Weibo, the Chinese Twitter clone.
One headline caught his attention. "Hey, GMarshal, can you believe this? Someone's claiming that there's a secret faction of corrupt Politburo members, and that they're planning on using the situation in Chongqing to seize de facto control of the Standing Committee! Can you believe this nonsense?" He ducked below his desk to refill his mug of tea. The leaves tasted stale already, and it was barely mid-morning.
GMarshal, MidnightGladius' political mentor and longtime ally, laughed softly, then looked up from his desk on the other side of the room. "They're almost as bad as the Americans! Why, I ---"
Suddenly, the heavy oak doors crashed open, and four men rushed into the room, their footsteps muffled on the thick green carpet. "What in the name of Mao are you doing here, Boss Xilai? You were supposed to be under house arrest!" The elder statesman demanded sharply.
"I've been waiting a long time for this, GMarshal. Ever since your uncle betrayed my father on the long road to Yan'an. And though things have not gone according to plan, I was able to make a few concessions and call in a few favors." MidnightGladius froze, hearing the ominously metallic sound of a cocked pistol. "Your service to the people is at an end, Premier." Three shots rang out in quick succession, and MidnightGladius heard a body thump to the ground. His stomach lurched, filled with caffeine and bile. GMarshal was dead.
MidnightGladius had served in the People's Liberation Army once, and he rose almost without thinking, drawing his old service sidearm from his desk drawer.
"President MidnightGladius. I have no quarrel with you. Put that silly thing down, and I'll let you go about your business."
Even as he heard the lie, MidnightGladius aimed and fired, as three of the men with Boss Xilai pulled out their own guns. It was strangely satisfying to see the blood spurt from the traitor's wounds, but MidnightGladius knew that he was a dead man. His last thoughts were rather silly, in the manner of men who mere minutes earlier had not expected to die. I should have sold those shares of Apple...
The fate of the nation now rests in the hands of the remaining members of the Politburo standing committee.
GMarshal, Premier of the People's Republic of China, was murdered in cold blood!
MidnightGladius, President of the People's Republic of China, was shot and killed!
Boss Xilai, Mafia Enemy of the State, was brought to justice!
It is now Day 1. The deadline is in ~48 hours, 19:00 PDT[local] 4/24/12. Remember to vote in this thread. Proper formatting is
##Vote <NAME>
Good luck and have fun!
If you plan on observing, please PM either me or GMarshal for the QT link. I will send it out to everyone who has already indicated interest in observing in the thread.Last edit: 2012-04-23 04:52:30 |

| I think it's not a useful thing to discuss early on and leads to little scumhunting and a poor town atmosphere. |

| Well if nothing else it'll encourage people to post which should generate discussion faster. Once some discussion is started we can vote based on post content instead of based on arbitrary constraints. |

| So you ask people the question to pressure them to make an answer, then follow by telling them that it was only to get them to answer. Nice. |

| Well the main purpose was to get a consensus on how things should be done, generating discussion is just another benefit. |

| Though as I haven't played before it may well lead to a poor town atmosphere as you suggested. |
