Actually, I had a thought! Who has dibs on the next Mafia game? We can plan for some content such as advertisements across our Discord and media if we can put together some appealing images to entice new players.
And for your sequel Dune game @ Killing_You , I would like to borrow your voice acting talent! Perhaps we can make a cinematic Mafia advertisement of your game! Reading off your plot like an epic storyline, as well as detailing the basics of Mafia and how to play, etc. Something akin to a game trailer but for Mafia, or even something like Verti's old videos.
Thoughts?
That sounds absolutely fantastic! I'm down!

There used to be this nice YO notification whenever someone posted but now it's gone for me :(. Apparently I was utterly dependent on that.
Hey @ OWA Any chance we could have an option to bring this back? I never liked it personally, but I'm all for anything that helps promote Mafia activity.

This is why I'm hesitant to host more mafia games.
I feel like it's just going to take a minute to get everyone back in the groove of things. It was definitely nice to have a Mafia game again, despite the inactivity.

GAME END
With the day coming to a close, you arrest Category 5 Hurricane under suspicion of being a Harkonnen spy. Not wanting to make any more mistakes, you decide to bring him before a Truthsayer. Unable to resist the influence of the Bene Gesserit, he confesses to being a Harkonnen agent. He also reveals that he was instructed to weaken the Elite guard from within before making their move. However, in the process, he reveals a startling truth: House Harkonnen was not responsible for the death of Duke Rogal Atreides. Before he could be questioned further, however, a dart strikes him in the neck, and he falls over dead.
Category 5 Hurricane was Fassur Tomicki, a Harkonnen Levenbrech!
What does this mean? If House Harkonnen did not kill the Duke, who did? And for what purpose? These questions will be answered in due time. For now, it's time to celebrate your victory, and hold a coronation ceremony. All hail Duke Achillus Atreides!
POST-GAME ANALYSISI'll be honest, I did not see this game turning out the way it did. With two power roles per faction, one rolecop and one roleblocker, I anticipated a cat-and-mouse chase with the night actions, along with a couple of counterclaims. But it was not meant to be, as both Town power roles successfully targeted both Scum night one. In fact, had Cat5 targeted anyone else, Irish would've discovered his roleblocking ability, and the jig would be up. Cat5 passing away his Hunter-Seeker drone was also quite unfortunate, as it would've allowed him to punch through both being roleblocked and Louis' shield. This would've made N2 much easier for him, and the game would've likely gone in a much different direction. That said, since Jeod and Cat5 had a hard time coordinating their cover story for N1, it was unfortunately a matter of time.
As for the setup itself? I think it's quite solid, probably my best balanced setup so far. Aside from a couple of flavor bits, there's not much I'd change about it, and I don't think my minor errors had a major impact on the game (if at all).
So, what was the long story bit on this post about? Well, dear reader, it is a tease. Sometime this summer (likely after the next Mafia game or two), we'll be returning to Arrakis for a more intricate, more story-heavy game. Based heavily on @ Nodlied 's incredible July Crisis Mafia, the Dune Landsraad mafia will feature several players trying to piece together evidence and solve a mystery, while other players will be trying to stop them and cause an intergalactic war. Featuring an Imperium Tension mechanic, investigations that will aid in finding evidence without removing players, and much more, this promises to be quite an affair more complex than anything we've had in a while. Until then, there will hopefully be many more Mafias to be had. See you next game!

DAY FOUR
You awaken the next day, with feelings of guilt over executing Hadan. Wondering if Bifar was truly a lone wolf, you make a grim discovery that proves otherwise.
Louis, as Thudor Brolin, has been murdered! She was an Atreides Levenbrech!
Your resolve strengthened, you realize that there must be another agent amongst you! You must bring them to justice, for the honor of Thudor and the late Duke Rogal Atreides!
Day Four ends in 48 hours.
MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: Shade939 has broken the rules by attempting to use flavor details as a test (a form of encryption under the standard Mafia rules). As such, he will have a penalty vote today.

Call it nitpicking, but I find it unusual naming Jeod as himself and not as Bifar Skarsgard in this context.
Nah, that's fair. I'll fix that; I wanted to do it anyway, but a part of me was like, "clarity."

DAY THREE
You are called in for a meeting the next morning, in case another Harkonnen agent exacted revenge for Bifar's execution. However, after roll call is taken, you discover that there were no deaths. Perhaps he acted alone? Or is there more to the story?
Day Three ends in 48 hours.

What’s your most memorable mafia game experience here (as a player) and why?
This might be better suited as a separate topic, tbh. But I've got a few I'd love to dig into.

Half hour until hammer. I may be a couple minutes behind due to shopping, just a quick FYI.

Better to notice that D1 than literally any other phase.

CVC should be fixed now. Thanks @ Jeod for adding it in properly (I accidentally did it as a staff message, which seems to have caused some issues).

Congratulations!
Also, @ Killing_You , can we lynch anyone? Or are we cutting down on player deaths and extending game time by restricting them to actions only or something like that?
Standard mafia rules apply. Vote someone up for the lynch at the end of the day.

Might as well start the Day One banter by disclosing that we're expecting our second little one mid-July. It's a girl this time.
Oh wow, congrats!!

So unless anyone voices their opposition, I think I'm going to close sign-ups an hour early and start the game tomorrow at usual Hammer time. You guys have until then to let me know if you'd rather wait for Saturday.

While I'd love to... and I'm actually checking the forums more regularly now again... I actually signed up for a pretty big time commitment that'll keep me busy probably through the end of summer (and that's not even counting the fact that starting next week I start a new role at work I accidentally promoted into).
You see... almost immediately after I left being a tester here... I became a tester for an actual video game (still unpaid though :v). Completely different genre, political sim (but hey, I have a masters in polisci, so it's right up my alley). The game is being programmed and it's just one guy so that's slow going, but the rules are more or less complete so we're doing playtests basically in tabletop form to work out any bugs before we actually get to early release.
If anyone wants to check it out (though the kickstarter is over): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/966309371/a-more-perfect-union-0/description
Ah. We'll miss you here, but congrats and good luck with all of that!
