I think that's stretching the definition of "role play". Mafia isn't an RPG, it's a game of social interaction. If it weren't so widespread I might even call it a social experiment.
You have a group of people, you tell them a few of the people are turned against the whole group, and that one will die every night unless you find and kill them first.

Doesn't really sound like an RP, does it? That sounds like a science experiment for how people will handle that kind of situation.

I think you're just being lazy by not sorting them right. Shadoweh has a point, the actual RPGs are getting going to be buried under the list of Mafia games.  The forum is called "Rumia's Party Games", not "Rumia's Roleplaying Rave" or "Rumia's Scumhunting Hoedown". We understand that the mods don't exist to cater only to the Mafia players, but sorting them wrong is a disservice to archive binges (RPG OR Mafia) and newbies looking for recent past games to read and learn a game, especially when you already have a convenient list with a bunch of games already.

Kilga is this right; like is this person seriously the player, and it's not some alias or something that's designed to be deliberately obfuscating? NekoNekoRex. Who the hell is that :C   ~Poya Aaaa (Serela), Bunny Must Die Mafia

^ agree.

Concealing information is not the same thing as roleplaying.

as someone who never pays attention to mafia I think the comments about people looking for old games is sort of unfounded. I'm not noticing anything different.

And signups are full.

Darkoda, I can tweak the setup to allow for a 14th pretty easily if you want to join this one, if you don't, I'll start the game probably this Sunday at midnight EST.

Why try to fix what's not already broken? There's a perfectly good way to archive Mafia games and Pesco won't do it because... why? If he's bothering to archive the games in the first place he may as well do it right, not just make an excuse over trying to define Mafia as an RPG. It's just as much disservice to RPG GMs as it is to the Mafia people.

I'm more bothered by the fact I smell mod bias here, however, then the actual issue it's brought up. I get the feeling Pesco has become jaded to Mafia somehow?

Dormio people naturally read more into what you say then take it on face value alone even though that's all you intended.

Being Dormio is suffering

Pesco empower me and I will take care of the Mafias games.

Dormio offered and said his body was ready. Dunno what you can offer yo.

You have a group of people, you tell them a few of the people are turned against the whole group, and that one will die every night unless you find and kill them first.

Doesn't really sound like an RP, does it? That sounds like a science experiment for how people will handle that kind of situation.

Imma just quote Dormio's eloquent words.
I do believe you've missed the point of what I said. :derp:

You've just stated what a game of Mafia is about. Nothing on the manner of how it's played.

I hadn't noticed because like a chump I assumed the games were actually being put in the normal place and didn't notice the latest ones weren't there when I clicked through them. I don't even disagree that mafia is a roleplaying exercise, I just want mah games to be in one place.

Suicidal what now?!

What's a roleplay anyway?
The personalities we project on the internet and in real life...aren't they all roleplays too?
We all wear masks. Masks that help us cope with our environment. Our reality. Take them off and you find someone else, an entirely new person.
But sometimes, a situation comes up when a person can spread their wings and fly free. Isn't it nice when that happens?

Just a notification that, with the recent merging of the mafia and roleplaying archives, a separate topic for previous mafia games can be found here.
