The Espers 2 spoiler thread is currently about 15000 words, so about halfway done. I'm confident I'll have it finished and ready for a summer run, as well. If Shin's is also a beast, maybe he can run Sengoku in July and I'll run Espers in August to space things out.

Do people feel like they'll be around and able to play in the summer? Espers will need a fairly high player count, and I assume Sengoku will too.


After the last Espers game, I am so, so in. That game ranks in my top five, easily, it was so fun. Especially once I was able to talk to Venge for most of the game and basically play with info from both threads....damn, so good. Felt really good to win, too. :)

Is there anything else that would be relevant to add to your bio for the game? Such as any mafia-related accolades(awards, nominations etc.), any significant experience with the game on other sites, any guides or strategic input that you've produced, any interesting stats on your game or something. If there isn't, that's not a problem at all.




Tattersail has earned the Mafia card 'Ever-Present of High House Mafia'. This means that when the attendance register is called, his hand always shoots up with a delightfully girlish squeal of, "Yes sir, here sir!". The only games that Tattersail has missed in living or recorded memory are ones modded by himself. This enthusiasm translates into his style of play, which has been politely referred to as "rambunctious" and not-so-politely referred to as "a headless chicken". However, do not let this benign exterior fool you. Beneath sits a mafia warrior unafraid to prod and push absolutely anyone or anything, with a dark streak of cunning cunningly disguised by his innocently exuberant expression, and an absolutely uncanny instinct as town in sniffing out scum. Should Tattersail survive a day 1 lynching (always his most vulnerable time), then the opposing team would be right to fear.


This needs to happen. Send Tatts out into the netherworld, for all shall fear his name.

Espers is the game that I most regret missing. I came back to mafia just after it had finished, I think. Methinks I may be at a severe disadvantage for it!

I'd love to enter myself (and fail miserably) but I won't have much posting time over the next couple of weeks.


And if they're mean to you, rest assured my vengeance shall be swift and unrelenting. No one's allowed to be mean to you except for me.

If you're entering, I will definitely be following this.


Meaning that me and Khell will enter and destroy the game.......

But of course! I wouldn't have meant that any other way :)

Can we get a thread in the Retirement Home or somewhere where we can comment on the game as it goes on? Possibly with Tatts locked out of it too? :)

It would probably be wise to ask the game moderator if it's allowed. I'd really hate to get Tatts removed because of something we did. And I'm sorta annoyed; I had gotten the impression that it was a single entry game. We should have sent Blend as well.

Edit: the more I think of it, the more annoyed I get. They've stacked the player list with 3 of their own.

All the games have been stacked in favour of certain sites - I'll compare entry frequency to final frequency at some point.

Tatts being involved seems to be prohibited by the game rules, not noted if there is anything about *us* doing it so long as he can't read it - hence RH suggestion

Technical note to mods:

When I had dysphonia in this last game I made a discovery several hours into that day. All the images I uploaded for use in the PMs were only visible in the specific browser on the specific computer I loaded them with. PS could see them because it was in the conversation. But when I logged into Korbas from any other browser all I could see were broken links. I worked around it by reloading them all with Gnaw and linking to them from the Korbas conversation, but there were several hours where anyone trying to look at them in the Korbas alt wouldn't be able to see them.

I doubt that the issue will ever come up again. But one never knows.

For most games where a player is silenced, I think it'll be fine. But it is good to note for anyone modding a game where pictures will be important - use the forum's attachment+insert system rather than hotlinking!

I'm thinking of modding an altless mini sometime after I get back from holiday (end of July). I'd need a co-mod to be around when I couldn't be. Would anyone be interested either in helping out or in playing?
