March 19 - "Today's Theme is 'Theme'" Day


Theme games, be they micro, mini, or large, are a very popular format on this website and the source of some of our most memorable games, both because of the interesting flavor wrapped around the game we all know and love but also because it is the site's hub of innovation, with every new mechanic and role showing up here first. If you want to see what the future holds for the game of Mafia, you NEED to be reading Theme Games!

So let's give it some love. What have been some of your favorite Theme games to have read or played on the site? What are some of your favorite mechanics and roles to come out of there?

And if you REALLY want to give the Theme Queue its due, run and play some games there!

in recentish history (last 4ish years?), definitely Datisi games.

Going further back, we've got a whole lot more. Varsoon games are some of the GOATs.
xyzzy games were great, too.

I love SirCakez games, the creativity behind stuff like Phonecalls in SCREAM and flamethrowers in Aliens was amazing.

My favorite theme game has to be Pooky’s Bastard Game. I got to keep playing long after I died in a whacky game with so many twists and turns. I’m not sure how “balanced” it was but it felt tremendously fun.

My favorite mechanic was my role (I could neighborize 5 people from outside the game)

I also want to shout out LLD’s Umineko U-Pick. The game within a game concept was really cool.

love a theme game! I've got a setup in the hopper that's reviewed, I just don't want to join the queue during TM. Just keep an eye out for that in the semi-near future

My favorites of all time were Faraday and Seacore's Game of Thrones series. Just absolutely brilliant setups that always were really thematic and played out in fascinating ways.

Love themes,

Pookys Bastard Game comes to mind as a really amazing theme I joined,

One of my favorite games on site was usesPython’s Theme game: In Broad Daylight would love for them to run it again or something similar

Also excited to run more themes in the future !

March 20- "Knight In Shining Armor" Day


Need some more games for your Mafia fix? Rather than signing up for a new game today, why not go and see if any games have replacement slots in need of filling? Sure it's a bit of reading, but you will undoubtedly earn the eternal* gratitude of the moderator and the players.

*Eternal being defined as however long the game lasts.

Hi! It was not entirely that fakeclaim of mine, the game before that with the Kingsguard was when I knew I was playing in them as long as I could.

SCREAM was great, you will never understand how much I enjoyed posting as GHOSTFACE

DEFCON is a great setup as well, speaking of Pooky

Boons Ahoy has a special place in my heart as my favorite scum victory

March 21- "Tech Crew Appreciation" Day


If you enjoy not having to play your game by sending letters through the Post Office, give it up for our technical admins, Kison and borkjorfkin! I can absolutely assure you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, every site suggestion you make that we implement that involves doing more than operating a dropdown level is handled solely by them, not me.

No, that's fair it was just one of the most memorable moments for me running them! Was absolutely fantastic. They were all fun to run, in their own way and me and seacore worked well together!

March 22 - "Get to Know a (lot of) Scummer(s)" Day


A picture's worth a thousand words, but that doesn't tell us the whole story. Tell us a little bit about yourself today - your hobbies outside of mafiascum, your goals and dreams, something unique and interesting about you - or if you can't think of anything, bump your GTKAS thread or, if you don't have one, sign up and have people do the work of thinking of things for you to tell for you. And while you're there, do everyone else the same favor and ask some questions!

And don't forget to thank our GTKAS mod hellbooks for all her hard work there!
