At least you weren't the game ending kill. I've been it several times, and almost all of those times were right after each other :/

I will accept nothing less than a "Yes KM I will throw away whatever silly, insignificant plans I have tomorrow to go spend nine hours watching a group of people take the longest walk ever. Also you are super awesome." :I

I can do the last part, *ahem* "You are super awesome" better?

The Hobbit (sort of separate from the trilogy)
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

Then there are a handful of others that were published later, but I don't count them because they were basically the result of Tolkien's son publishing his trash bin.

I really like the Silmarillion. Even if it wasw published by his son and not by him.

Yes! You guys should give it a try! It's a unique game.

Not as bad as me probably :P
But it gets easier don't you worry. either that or mine just got worse and worse, could go either way.

Aw, nah! I thought your flavor text was fine(even though its only Day 1 ft), jokool! It probably is pretty tough to write, since yours is a themed mafia game. I'm pretty bad with fanfiction...so yeah, I would think that its pretty tough. XD

It felt unpolished (because it was, Tolkien hadn't adequately prepared it to be published). I don't think he ever intended to publish it.

Well it was a history book. Don't tell me some of your history books for school felt unpolished. That was one of my favorite out of all of them.

Of and it wasn't a "handful" of other books. Unless like 15 is handful. And only about 8 or so were published posthumously.

Anyone want to sub in for my game?

I think there need to be tighter regulations on what constitutes as a 'Mafia Game', and what constitutes as a 'Non-Mafia Game', because I've seen a couple of games recently being posted under the Non-Mafia title, when really, they are Mafia games, just variants. I know it's against the rules to discuss games currently going on, but it really doesn't help my point to not say which ones (and they're both still in SUs anyway), so it's 'Avatar: War of the Four Nations' and 'Another: Class of 2012' which basically just look like they're trying to avoid waiting times.

Both of these have the basics: Day phases in which a lynch occurs (although 'Another' allows a faction kill here as well); Night phases in which a faction kill occurs; 'Another' has an uninformed minority vs an informed majority; 'Avatar' kind of has this in that each faction is an informed minority, if that makes sense - it doesn't matter which faction you kill, you just have to kill everyone that isn't your own, and you know who your own faction is.

I will mention this also: Phoenicks asked yesterday whether a Kingmaker game would constitute Non-Mafia or not, but it's basically mafia where the 'King' decides one person each day to decide who is lynched. I said that should be Mafia, for the same reasons above.

Basically, I'm proposing anything in which lynching and killing play key parts and there's a sense of opposing factions striving to win in which at least one knows its partners should be considered a Mafia game. Non-Mafia should be for games which are obviously totally different, like the War Room Murder Mystery and such.

I'm not saying the above games are bad games at all - they actually both look quite interesting. I just think it's a bit cheeky to pass them off as Non-Mafia.
