I think bler would fit in nicely, and I also think the issue is getting use to how much MU players post because they don't have the 10 minute rule (and boy does that make a difference)

Well, I'm on the sublist and he hasn't asked ...so...I haven't actually had to make any decisions yet.
I did a casual read though.

My whole life was a lie.
With so much banter going on and only some of it actually important towards the game (at least from what I managed to pick up as important) I missed so much stuff that I only saw later on from other people's quotes. And that is on Day 1 where the game hasn't even started yet. I feel that the game will be a whole lot less enjoyable if one isn't constantly online and up-to-date. I can't tell for others but for myself always having to catch up so much and getting constantly ninja'd doesn't feel like a fun Forum game. If it was a RL game sure, the pace fits it, but online and in text form - too fast for my liking.

Yeah... after a little skim through the thread I'm really glad I didn't sign up.
Too many MU players means a completely different pace and style of game then we have here, and I know there is no way in hell I could do that.
Good luck guys (those who choose to stick around...)

It's quite possible it does slow down and get more focused later but I just didn't like what I got back to from a couple of months hiatus. I don't blame the game or the medium. I'm pretty sure the problem is with myself, so as someone else noted - better get out sooner rather than later and not risk ruining the game for someone else.

I can't even find the game thread over there for some reason and I had to come back here to get it
I'm just annoyed
I want to wake up and play mafia
not have to figure out how a new forum works
clearly it is not forum software that makes for a good mafia community

Big hug to yogsloth and all the players for the way this turned out. I think the final "reach exceeded my grasp" comment is unfortunately spot on; big and ambitious game with (presumably) lots of interesting quirks and roles, combined with a new place to host it, and two very different groups of players - it was just too much when all taken together.
I think people gave it most everything they have, but I can totally understand the overwhelmingness of it all (just observing was an effort in keeping up).
For me, observing from the sidelines, everything I saw (well, up to the seriously heated tempers) just made me want to play more with all y'all. Hope we'll get the chance ere too long!
