Yeah, so I know there's technically no Forum Games section here, but why not give it a shot? If any of you are from the Hang Out(which a good majority of you are)you probably remember the game Stick Mafia, started courtesy of lol@yourface/Joshhh which eventually stopped because too many people hosted it badly and activity was slowly dieing. However, it was arguably the most liked/most active Forum Game there continuing on to #21(with a few ignored/not started ones). But now that there's a high activity level here, I thought, why not bring it back? Even Red October's here. I don't know if he'll have time to host, but I know I'll at least have a touch of time, if not more. I don't have any ideas for the Stick Mafia V2 #1 game, but I'll come up with one eventually. And people, feel free to give me any. ;) If this DOES start and go well, these will be posted in the Off Topic section. (Because I don't know if Meiun will add a Forum Game section, but I doubt it)
Questions, opinions, and posting is encouraged. :)

Where's my Walrus option? New rule: Every poll on this forum needs a Walrus.
And I never really got into Stick Mafia...but I have played it IRL before with friends, so I don't see why not? Also, maybe you could shoot Meiun a PM over about creating a "Forum Games" thread on this forum? It was great on hangout.
I say yes. Although one gets used to the fast paced game of Epicmafia.

I was tempted to add that, I was just afraid everyone would vote that instead of an actual answer. Plus the joke's been used. :P
Mafia as a party game is extremely fun in real life. It's just harder to use more complicated roles. Both Epic Mafia and thread Mafia handle those well. All forms are enjoyable, really.
That's a good idea. I actually think I will PM Meiun about it.

It's different from thread Mafia, of course. I personally prefer slower-paced games.
And if I do start this up(good chance of that) it'll be much more organized with a Stick Mafia V2 Hosting List where you have to sign up in advance to host, to make sure there won't be as many flops.
The problem with Stick Mafia was that the setups were way off balanced. On EpicMafia the setup are only balanced to about 14 players (but 9 is better). We can use many Epic Mafia roles, except; Leader, Agent, Light keeper, Silencer, Disq and Spy. I am willing to do some hosting - with existing setups on EpicMafia. http://www.epicmafia.com/lobby/setup/11856 Would be good.

I do agree with you there. But having more than 10/15 players isn't necessarily a bad thing. The game lasts longer, and is generally more fun with more players. And I'm using a mix of Epic Mafia roles, mafiascum roles, Wikipedia roles, and occasionally some modified ones/ones of my own.
The "Because I don't like it" pole choice is a bit ridiculous. If you don't like it, don't play, sorta simple. Anyways I'm fine with anyone hosting, would be fun to play again.
Well, it looks like I can start this up again. Be expecting Stick Mafia V2 #1- A City in Chaos sometime soon. ;) It'll be in the Off Topic section for now, but Meiun said he might put in a Forum Games section later.
Wow I was just reading over the rules and roles, this game seems really fun :)
