Forum games: Mafia

Forum games: Mafia was the second NuzMafia game hosted on the forums.

Setup
There is nothing in the post that indicates any specific roles or mechanics. The first post lays out the basic core gameplay and vaguely mentions the existence of some PRs, but there are no specific roles indicated. Because the game never began, no role assignments were immediately obvious.

Players

 * Xegek
 * LordQ
 * Dizzy
 * Weldar (?)

Gameplay
The game never began, dying in sign-ups.

Reception
Blaster Ririka criticized the second attempt at forum Mafia, saying that using the EpicMafia client (a website that hosts mafia Games) would be far better than a thread-based Mafia game. This post is important for a few reasons — it mentions another thread for a Mafia game, indicating that either Nuzlocke Mafia 1 or a different thread was present at the time of Forum games: Mafia being posted. Because they mention that many players in the game were getting banned, it’s possible the other topic was removed or hidden, as it’s not visible in the Archives on the site.

In addition, Ririka’s post and this post by King Avalanche give off the impression that forum Mafia was not very common at the time and that the format of client-based Mafia games was very different from the thread format, and that some believed it wasn’t practical to try and use a forum thread for a Mafia game.
