I'm in, although I have no idea what this game is all about and am not even remotely familiar with Hunger Games. But I feel I must, as my participation in the Rock 'n Roll games was prematurely cut short.
Welcome to mafia. Before you know it you will be come an addict with a spreadsheet. Or maybe two spreadsheets linked by macros, with a master spreadsheet controlling them all.
is game will have some changes from normal mafia. So you might have an advantage as you have no preconceptions.

Do you use colours to show the guilty and innocent or do you have them recorded on separate sheets?

I have different colors for guilty or innocent, numbers for how sure I am about people (a scale of sorts), I have a chart with arrows to show who voted for who and notes of questions or assumptions. I swear it started so innocently and it just snowballed from there...lol

EmDee, Since you REALLY want me to play. Will you FB me this weekend if I am going to miss something? I won't have a lot of time this weekened but I'm night shift next Tues-Friday so I'll be around quite a bit in the night and will see what kind of mafia scheming I can do.

Glad you can join us.
We plan to start it on Friday night. The phases would be 24 hours unless people would like a longer time? Suggestions are welcome

I am new to hosting. Does it not normally start at night? Is there a better time to start?
My $.02
Most people ususally start with their own (the narrators) fictional killing by the mafia. Then open with lynching. However, if you're going to start Friday evening, I think a lot of people may be are away from the computer over the weekend (I'm mostly on at work) and they may not be aware the game has started.
If you're going to start with a lynching, I'd start Friday morning and have 24 hrs later on Saturday be your deadline to vote.

I've never hosted but if the game starts at night and the phases go 24 hrs it still gives everyone a chance to vote (or plot to kill if they're mafia). I am usually only on days but if you have more time at night to do the narrating then you should start at night.

Sorry Mischa I cannot find it either. It would have been awesome though. You could insist everyone has to address you by your full name the whole game.
I'mcool with whenever we start. I keep my nook in my pocket (damn you Richard!) So I'm good to pop in at any time of day or night. I was just a little confused about starting at night cuz the baddies conspire at night and I thought the good guys always went first. Of course I've only played twice so I'm no expert on the rules.

Dqm it does get confusing talking about Mafia day and night phases. They are not related to the real Night and day times. Normally you assign 24 hours to a "day" phase followed by a 24 hour night phase. That is so everyone gets a chance to join in.
No Kali, I think my dorkdom is what was throwing me off.
I hoestly thought the baddies could only conspire at night. I had a whole plan set up for lurking the board at night to see who logged in but didn't post LMAO!
I was convinced that was going to be my strategy for sussing out mafia pm'ing each other.

I think my mafia addiction struck hard.
That was my strategy when i started too. I kept wondering why it didn't seem accurate.
The fact that you actually DID it has me in guffaws because I swear I already had out my markers and sh!t. I was gonna be super sleth all ---- mmmmhhhmmm I KNEW it. So and so was on at 9:34 pm for 12 minutes and didn't post anything. I betchou she's a baddie!
I wasn't gonna give away my super secret strategy though because I didn't want any false positives. I mean other innocents lurking doing the same thing. I thought I was gonna be so clever LOL!
Yay for the soon start of the game, even if it isn't until Monday. I think we have a good batch of players and it will be a great game. Do me a favor peeps, stop thinking I am guilty so early on. I really am not, I promise.

I bet there are still people who do check to see who logon during a "night" phase and do not post.
I voted, but I don't really have a strong preference. Whatever works to get everyone playing who wants to. And now I'm going to be sure to post something any time I'm logged in! :)

That was part of my strategy when I first started too! :) But I've learned it really is unreliable. Too many other interpretations. Besides mafia, it could be specials doing their thing, or someone like me who often stays logged in even though I'm not actively on the board. You can't eliminate people as mafia based on not being logged in either, since mafia often communicate through email instead of pm.
