The team captains have the game grid in their PMs. Red team to start. Off you go

Also -- up to the mods if these threads should live in the Mafiascum forum.

Oh, and also: depending on how quickly this goes, if people like we'll make this game best two of three, or best three of five, with the captain rotating through the team members.

Dream team!

Hurry up Davpaz

THRILLING, FAST-PACED ACTION

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32624

If DavPaz doesn't hurry up I'm going to nominate a different captain and regenerate the grid.

this is good imo

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 12:07

It's a forum game. Surely the point is that it can take place at any pace?

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 12:11

My main aim will be 'Can I figure out who the hell "in the beex midwinter" is'.

Best guess so far is Davpaz sock puppet.

It doesn't matter who "in the beex midwinter is!"

It does to me.
He could be a complete twat who I want to make lose deliberately.

Oh crap. Sorry! Been actually working

I wouldn't worry.

body: 2

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 14:05

Organ and disease, I reckon. Although you can have a 'body of water'.

ApplePieOfDestiny · **Joined:** 17th Dec, 2008 **Posts:** 8293

And an undertaker deals with a body. I'm not all in on disease to be honest.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 15:02

The queen has a body. A pupil is a part of your body. A ninja has a well-trained body.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 15:05

Pupil and organ for me, Clive.

We seem to agree on organ. Shall we guess it?

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 15:08

Jazzy won't be online during the day and Kovacs likely to be useless, so yeah, let's do that. APOD?

Organ is ok for me too

I think I'm allowed to confirm or deny, but I'll wait for confirmation.

Disease or undertaker for me. I think water and pupil would be too tenuous, personally.

Undertaker could be better, as they handle bodies rather than something affecting a body.

Are you kidding me?

Pupil is far more direct than either of yours.

An organ is part of the body.
A pupil is part of the body.

It follows pretty neatly.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 17:00

I'm happy to go with pupil then.

What the hell? I was geared up for an argument! Stop agreeing!

Unlike some people I'm happy to admit it when I'm wrong.

That would work, I was thinking pupil as part of an education system.

You may notice a lot of the words in the worldlist have double or even triple meanings; that's not a coincidence, it's to enable clever plays. And that's before you start using clues that rely on rhyme that then work in one pronunciation or another.

It's an Only Connect wall, basically.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 17:26

I usually over complicate things in games like this, so for the moment I'll stick with the simple answer, but realise it could be thoroughly wrong.

Let's see what APOD and Jazzy think.

Up to you how much you want to consensus-build across the team before making a guess, and I think it's good if the play went at a relaxed pace [1] that didn't rely on people being online a lot in order to contribute; but just to clarify that from a strict rules perspective I'm happy to consider guesses at any time.

[1] Perhaps a touch more relaxed than the typical game of Mafia. That's what I'm aiming for.

Winning by default being the best type of winning.

Shove Organ in then. Let's see what comes out.

We already did organ, you bozo.

I know but we didn't do a double entendre. I wanted to not miss the opportunity

So yeah, pupil. Go on.

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 18:00

Pupil isn't playing.

Most forums have a rule that if you don't make a move for 24 hours, it counts as a pass. That seems like an OK length of time.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2015 18:15

Just don't want Jazzy to have to have missed the whole round.
