    Gentlebeings and co-delegates,

    A wise person once said“ Catch a man a nerf, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to nerf herd, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.” We must always seek to sell nerfs, not teach herding. The Party has brought the greatest prosperity we've known since the Fall of the Empire. Through our continued leadership, and with your support, we can achieve prosperity never before seen!

    Long live the revolution!

    Ok! Trying to start this mafia game back up.

    I'll dust off my notes and try to assume the persona of a well-meaning, but stuck in a hard place, hockey league director.

    So calling players:

    @Bertie Wooster - IN

    @GhostofNobodyInParticular - IN

    @Madaghmire - ?

    @PodRacer - IN

    @The Jabbawookie  IN

    @Lord Preyer ?

    @LTD OUT

    @ovinomanc3r ?

    I've missed you guys.

    I think it sounds really cool. I'm on the fence about the carrying capacity thing but it seems like others approve so that's fine. Edit: I've seen no other better way to incorporate command values so I'm fine with this. Not trying to complain just to complain

    I really like incorporating the engineering costs. That's clever.

    I also really like the resources and I think you thought through those pretty clearly.

    My only concern is my availability. So that I can find that mixture between actually doing the job that I'm paid to do, watching the kids that I have, and trying to be something resembling a good husband, I have very little free time. Things like Mafia work well because I can make incremental progress along the way. The warlords games can be a little challenging because I often stop, look at the board, look at my spreadsheet, reread the thread, and think about what I want to do for a while. So my only concern would be that if the game is very detailed oriented and very complicated, I will either do really badly and get killed immediately or ruin things for everyone.

    Dear Team Captains,

    As you are all aware, with Kenner's departure to take a position at SliqIce, I'm taking over as Interim Hockey Director at Hart Memorial. Things were a little lax under Ken's watch and I intend to change that. You are required to attend, or send a representative from your team, to a captain's meeting in a few days' time.

    You may not bring alcohol to this meeting. 

    More to come,

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    Greetings! It's time for an Ice Hockey-themed Mafia game. Players will play the roles of team captain discussing some very....unpopular....changes to league policy. Hockey leagues throughout the world vary in rules, skill level, and competitiveness, but what unites all is a love for consuming alcohol before, after, and sometimes during the game. However at most rinks it is considered against league policy to do so, and it is ultimately up to the hockey director whether or not these rules are enforced....

    Players often also form fierce allegiances to the rinks they play at, even if there is really no good reason for it other than "that's where I've always played". Players who leave a rink to go play at the rival are sometimes considered....scum...

    There will be no killing in this game. Being dismissed from the league (vote), or being lured away (night kill) to go play at SliqIce fill this game mechanic. 

    In game, there are two teams:

    Players (town)

    Scum (mafia)

    Usual rules apply, mafia wins when nothing can stop their victory. Town win when all threats to town are eliminated.

    During "game day" (day), team captains will discuss and ultimately vote on who they think is violating league policy of drinking beer on rink premises. Whichever player receives the necessary number of votes will be sent away from the league (killed). In between games, during the "work week" (night), scum will attempt to lure captains to take their teams away to go play at SliqIce, where you can drink beer. This has the same function as a night kill. When a player is voted off or lured away, they won't be able to reply to the game thread or like posts, as normal. 

    Let me know if you're interested? 

    The first match of the league starts on 6/8 at 8 PM EST (or earlier if we fill quickly).

    Lastly, I encourage you to stay in character. Hockey is a sport known for trash talking (chirps), boasting, and crazy celebrations (cellies). Consider this your primer:

     don't watch this at work or around kids

    I can if nobody else wants to. It seems Forty has a plan, so if he prefers he can do his first.

    My games tend to be on the simplistic side, so if somebody can do a better job, they should probably go first.

    Uhh well I probably won't do better but I can guarantee that it's very unlikely that any of y'all have played this flavor before. Is there someone who is experienced in modding these games that I could bounce my idea off of? Necessarily that person would be an observer

    I actually have an idea for a future Mafia game. I don't know that I understand all the mechanics well enough yet to pick a good roster so perhaps I could find help with that? Maybe some kind of online calculator or what not. But if you're willing to give me a few days I'll be glad to mod the next one
