Two-headed Mafia Signups! - You can choose a partner

[Courk]

Formerly titled Pairs Mafia.

This is for an even number of people. Just sign up, and I'll randomly assign you a partner. Then, as a pair, you will each receive a role. So, let's say player A and player B are a pair, and they get the role of cop. They can communicate with each other at any time, day or night, and can post anything they want (within the rules). At night, however, they will make one choice, and each will receive the result. Also, players will die as a pair. You don't just vote for Player A, you vote for Player A/B. The pairings will be known.

Obviously this will be a smaller game, since even if 20 people sign up it'll still be like a 10-player game. I just want to see how you all will decide who's mafia if Player A seems suspicious but Player B doesn't.

/interesting.

[HyToFry]

Mayhap we should indicate if we IM or not?

I *do* IM. If it's less random by assigning IM people with IM people, I would much rather have an IM partner.

And what is this IM you speek of?

[Mgm]

Instant [b]Messaging[/b].
Depending on the time zone my partner is in and IM program they use, I'd be happy to use IM in the game...

[Amb]

IN, but can we have some kind of rule to encourage posting? Mafia has been real slow on GL lately

[Dan]

[Courk]

Well, there would be two people for every role, and I would think at least one person out of every pair is talking, but I'll see what I can think up to make people post.

[Amb]

No thanks, I dont play in Ctorj mafia's. He has changed my role on at least 3 occasions where he has realised it didnt work. One of those changes involved removing vig status from me because he gave my role a backfire that he hadnt realised I was a vig. Another one he forced me to suicide being townie because he gave me a skill that could result in a random effect that was 90% anti town and nothing but pure luck (from my random choices) on the effect - I had to actually ask the town to lynch me. So ... No, until he learns to control the roles properly, I wont be signing up.

[Mgm]

amb, if it's any consolation, I worked with Ctorj in creating the setup.

/out sorry, changed my mind

/in sans IM

[Amb]

Oh, I do use AIM / Msn, but time zones might make a difference (+13)

[MatthewV]

I'll be in!
Can I have one of those goofy time zone people like amb?
(aim or PM is the way to commicate)

[Talzor]

/in with IM, GTM+1

[Mgm]

[Captain Planet]

Two-headed-ness is only ONE of the Mutations undergone by mafia in recent times, due to the increasing number of Pollutants in their Natural Habitat!

I must join the fight to stop this Eco-Injustice!

(Your Eco-Hero will make his contact details and Time Zone known to his partner, but does possess Instant Messaging Technology and is willing to use it in the Fight against Crime!)

[Courk]

Due to the number of people who are specifying IM time zones, if you want to choose your partner, that's fine with me. Anyone who doesn't have a partner will still be randomly assigned. Both partners will have to post saying that they're partners, though.

and ~marker~

[MatthewV]

I'll be Courk's partner!
(or amb if she is taken)

[Captain Planet]

Wrong, Eco-Zero! The fertile climate of New Zealand makes AMB an Ideal Partner for Captain Planet!

(if he So Wishes. The Power Is His to choose!)

Edit! The Planeteers are severely lacking in members from that area! However, we are also in need of European planeteers! Mgm and Talzor are Environmentally Conscious Individuals, and would be Good Candidates also!

I'll partner with the minty. I'm not in a goofy time zone. I just keep goofy hours.

[Mgm]

I'll partner up with Talzor since he's in the perfect time zone. Otherwise, I'll join one of the non-IM people.

[Talzor]

I shall gladly be the second head on mgm's shoulder.

[Amb]

Ill pair with captain planet, based on a pseudonym hunch. If it turns out to be you Fritzler, we are not vigging everyone from day 1...

[Courk]

[HyToFry]

I would also be willing to team up with the hot chick CJ. Whomsoever claims me first.

(watch, now they'll team up together and I'll be left alone with my bad self.)

Sorry but /out.

[HyToFry]

Can't you at least offer an explanation?

Sorry but i will be without internet access in August . I doubt any partner (or the rest of the players or the mod for that matter) would like to put up with a situation like that so i think it would be best if i resigned before the game started. Seems like their is an odd number of players anyway.

I'll give everyone until Monday, at 11:59 PM EDT to either sign up, or claim a partner. At that point sign ups will be closed and everyone not in a mutually agreed upon partnership will be assigned a partner. I'll do my best to consider time zones.
