Well, you got the Iron part right.
As for those discussing the issue of people to run mafia, in the previous 3 rounds we had 2 moderators running the contest, myself and Garfieldo. I had to be taught how to run the game over the first round and essentially sit back and watch. It is something quite confusing to be taught at first, and I'm lucky to have picked up on it as easy as I did. On top of that, you have to be able to be here for the entire event and keep a close eye on everything. I have always said and still admit that part of the issue with Mafia round 3 was on my behalf. I planned the event and took charge, and issues came up that left me only able to check in every now and again. We're all human, mistakes will be made, but we must learn from them.
I've already said there need to be at least 3 GMs this time around just for good measure, and they would all need to be existing POF mods. While the offers are kind, it is easier and overall just more convenient if those running the event are already on the staff. That way, no-one else has to be sought out to moderate, and they'll already have the means necessary to run the Mafia game as it should be run.
It all does come down to the cheating issue though. There was just far too much of it in the last contest, and it had to be stopped. As I said, I had started working on a rework of the rules and lost the time to work on them, but if there is that much of an interest in having another round of Mafia I will look into finding some time to work on new rules. That being said I still will not, for my own account and the better of Mafia, return to GM another round. I've run my course and feel that it would be better suited in the hands of a more active group of moderators.
Mafia Returns?
