If Mafia truly does here I'll have to find something else to do during my work day...like play runescape or something else mindless

I mean the only evidence we have that mafia is dying is that there are less games and a lot of people have left. But we still have lots of games going every month and there's been a lot of new blood too. (me, tmm, kashuno and podima are some of the most active members of our community now)

So yeah, 2012-era mafia is dead. Hell, 2015-era mafia is pretty dead. But we are on a new horizon!

Mafia is dead. This thread is now for play by post moba roleplaying.

Invoker slicks back his luxurious blonde hair. He looks around to his new companions and smirks. His cape swishes behind him as he walks from the base. As he descends the steps from the fountain he yells out to heavens.

"Mid or AFK!"

Effortpost because I can't sleep:

I feel like there are a few games signing up that seem fun but I've been trying my best to stick to the "one game at a time" rule, which I personally feel is responsible for my still finding Mafia really fun after two years now. I've had a few stages of burning out on it and almost every time it's because I tried to play two or three games at once.

I don't think Mafia is dying (no matter how much people like that meme), just that it's a community like any other where people rotate in and out. There are old players I don't see anymore who I miss, but at the same time there are newer players who I think contribute plenty.

For what it's worth I think I like this community (all iterations of it that I've been a part of) more than the actual game of Mafia - as a lot of you guys know I recently moved out of the city into a really remote town on the other side of the country, and being able to have this weird little group of online strangers to talk to / game with has genuinely been helpful in making the switch in lifestyles. So thanks for that :glomp:

The last couple months I've been playing less and less games but now that the semester is half over I should have a lot more time. So join me as I post in dumb mafia threads while Home Alone.

This is definitely the best thing about this game for me. Despite being in France, I can't help but appreciate the slice of Americana and English you guys bring into my life. I may only sporadically play but I like this dumb thread.

In games, I'm like some kind of mad lurker king, but now that I actually want to play and get active, I've got a schedule that means I can't play. Hell, I've got two setups that are almost ready to go, one needs a bit of role tweaking, the other just needs me to finish writing PMs and some more flavor text, and I don't even have the free brainspace to do that.
