Sorry fine ladies and fine man ladies. I've managed to fight off the robot dinosaur that was stopping me from logging in to gog. Go me!
I'm making a sign-up for the next mafia game, is the plan for it to run at the same time as court of the sultan, or should I hold off a bit?
I'm guessing we're all up for playing two games at once?

To make it easier, I'm cancelling my game unless I get enough players by tomorrow.

I've put up sign-ups here.
We can negotiate territory once we have more information, lol.
(I wasn't sure if it was ZFR's title or just the presence of ZFR that made his last sign-up so successful, so I decided to include both. Because fuck science.)

That sultan game looks awesome fun despite all that confusion. Scratch that, even more fun with all that confusion.
It's like playing mafia in the dark about your winning condition. I'm enjoying seeing some players have even less of a clue than I have.
"So... in order to win I have to... get killed?"
" Alright, if a grand vizier appoints an imam he gets killed right away, unless protected by the captain of the guard, in which case I think he gets deposed and the captain becomes the grand vizier. If the captain of the guard chooses not to protect the grand vizier the imam kills them and creates a power vacuum that the janissaries will try to take. The Supreme judge can thwart them however, causing them to lose their positions and get new janissaries instated from the rebels. Meanwhile the protesters can hold an election among themselves and appoint a minor vizier, who can battle the former grand vizier for the crown. If the grand vizier wins they can appoint a player to be killed and if that player is a janissary they are reinstated, but if they lose they have to wear their pants on their head and spend the next court session pretending to be a chicken (in some variants it's a camel). Then the loyalists can remove the supreme judge from office and appoint a new player, and if this player is a loyalist he becomes... emperor? That can't be right. Ah, caliph.
I think I'm getting the hang of it. "
