Mafia Returns?

[The Stealthy Pirate]

This looks interesting. I see why you want to bring it back.

I realize that for quite some time there has been hope for the Mafia game to return as a contest here on POF, but I'm afraid to say that there is currently not an outlook for the game to return. I do agree that, at least from my point of view, enough time has passed that I feel we could attempt another shot at the game, but there are other issues to be had.

First off, another GM would need to be trained to run mafia, as we've always allowed for two in the event that the lead GM was not around. At this time I am the only member of the staff left that actively participated in running Mafia, and I am too busy with school and other things to actively moderate and run the Mafia forums and such. Just as well, I had begun a reworking of the rules and what not but have never had time to finish such work for the same reasons.

I realize this may come as a disappointment to some, and I do apologize. I enjoyed Mafia just as much as everyone that participated surely did, and I would have loved to see it return later on. At this point though we just don't have the hands or the needs necessary to restart.


On a side note for those who asked what Mafia was, if you follow the link that Skirata posted above, you'll find information on the game and how it is played.
