In addition to the uniquely awesome Trading Cards, lets start some other PAX East traditions.
1) Sign-up below
2) I will assign you randomly to one of the 4 colored Mafias
3) Go buy/find:
- 4 bandanas matching the color of your mafia (dollar stores)
- Several plastic spoons
4) Write your forum name on each of the bandanas in marker/pen
5) Bring everything to PAX
HOW TO PLAY:
Players will wear 1 bandana around and about their WAIST. Bandanas must be clearly displayed (attached to belt, hanging out of pocket, etc) just like flag football. Don't forget to write your forum handle on it.
Players will try to assassinate members of other mafias. Assassination is done with a PLASTIC SPOON. Players will attempt to tag other mafia players with their spoon.
Any player tagged with a spoon while NOT holding a spoon of their own looses 1 flag to their assassin. Any player who looses their last flag is dead for the day. They must surrender their last flag to the other player and can NOT kill anyone else for the day.
At the start of each day, each player dawns an additional flag. Flags are like lives, if you make it through day 1 without getting killed, you get 2 flags for day 2. If you get assassinated on day 2, you loose 1 flag but still have another for the day. If you get assassinated again that day, you have to wait for tomorrow to get another life.
At the end of each day, midnight EST, report who you killed in this thread.
PARTICULARS:
- Spoons must be freely held by the fingers/palm. Any attempt to attach spoon to the hand with tape, string, glue, wristband is ILLEGAL and does not count as holding it. Having a spoon in between your fingers counts.
- Spoons may NOT be knocked out of someone's hand in an attempted assassination. If someone's holding their spoon, find another mark.
- One someone looses their last flag for the day, they must wait until the next day to put on another flag. If this upsets you, then don't get killed
- BATHROOMS ARE SAFE ZONES, no assassinations allowed.
- Only your flags are your lives. Other player's flags are just souvenirs for your hard work and stealthy spooning. Wear them with pride for your mafia, and strike fear in the hearts of others.

1) I wouldn't be willing to play this game if it involved me carrying around a spoon, or anything else for that matter. There's way too many other things to do with my hands during PAX.
2) I'd also be kind of wary about wearing bandanas around. I don't think Boston is, like, huge gang territory or anything, but... yeah.
3) For the last few years there have been Assassins games, run by a PAXer, that have gone over very well. Last year we had online registration, online kill confirmation, live score tracking, and some really cool armbands with plasticard Assassins badges. The game works very similarly to your Mafia Wars idea.
I'm not saying bail on the idea, but those are my criticisms.

1) If you get killed day 1 then that's it for the whole weekend. I wanted something with lasting appeal.
2) Mafia Wars would be a more social game instead of just remaining within your circle of friends and only looking out for one specific person at a time.
I'd be willing to run either one really. If people would rather Assassins I'd be willing to work that out too.

Unless you plan on wearing it around your head then heading out to East Boston and shouting 'Crips Pride' it's a not an issue. And even then you'll most likely just look like an idiot and have a lot of people stare, point and laugh.
One suggestion though: Either a pre- or post-event Mafia meet-up to call the truce and celebrate would make it more memorable. Heck, even doing a pub-crawl or something simliar to the spirit of Tri-Wizard West would make it better. That way, you can meet your assassins, hitmen, and other roles.
Awesome.
Yeah this is definitely "more the merrier" type game. I'm hoping to generate a lot of interest

MarsChelios runs the Assassins game, and it has some features that allow it to last the entire weekend. He (or she?) also has a fantastic website up that allows everyone to enter and keep score throughout the weekend. If you're interested in running something, I'd definitely coordinate it with Mars.

No doubt it'd be super fun if there were 25-50 people on each team battling it out.
Assassin's also has a way for people to kill all weekend through the Secondary Tier. You should read all of the rules because there's some good rules on when people decide tie breakers and you should use the list of Safe Zones cause right now its just the bathroom. I wouldn't want to be listening intently to a cool keynote and someone is stabbing me with a spoon haha.
Also, it's be sweet if it we didn't have to use spoons. It'd be really hard to hold it when I'll be juggling a netbook/phone/whatever else all weekend.
However, with that said, add me to the list because I'll probably still play. I just request I be put on the blue team cause thats my favorite color haha.
The game really is only at its best when there's a very large scale of people playing it. I figured with PAX's attendance it wouldn't be hard to get 100+ people involved. I don't know if I'll be able to drum up enough interest based on the replies to far. I also don't know how many con people check the forums.
I'll keep it posted in case there's some massive signing up but I'll judge to see if we have enough by the time PAX gets closer.
