Guitar God Mafia!

[JKLantern]

I figured I'd throw my hat into the mafia ring with a Guitar Player Themed Mafia. 25 Guitarists go to a Music Festival...Who comes out alive?

So I've got 25 roles written up. This wouldn't start for at LEAST another week. Anyone interested?

Current Players:
Iron Ham
Rokk Krinn
Antipathy
readyeddy?
ABF
theanalogkid
bamf!
turdburglar47
Kitsushel

[Iron Ham]

Come on! Every time I think about writing up a mafia, someone has started a sign up thread! :p

Count me in.

[JKLantern]

There are some old standard roles in here, some inspired by other games, and some that are a little different that I'm particularly proud of.

[Rokk_Krinn]

I'm in for this one but my heart will break if I don't end up as a member of the Beatles.

[Magnito]

Sorry, but 4 is my limit. Maybe if I die is DBZ, villains, Buffy or JLA

[JKLantern]

Sorry, but 4 is my limit. Maybe if I die is DBZ, villains, Buffy or JLA

This one's not starting in at least a week, so take your time. I'll still be here!

[Rokk_Krinn]

Sorry, but 4 is my limit. Maybe if I die is DBZ, villains, Buffy or JLA

We can just lynch you in JLA if it would help? :)

[Antipathy]

I'll join this one too.

[Rokk_Krinn]

It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.


(Sorry, just getting in the mood. :) )

[JKLantern]

You know I'm not allowed to name roles in the game.

And I probably shouldn't assign them nonrandomly, either. ;)

[Rokk_Krinn]

Oh, I know but you can't expect me not to at least idolize the guys even if I don't end up as one of 'em. ;)

[readyeddy?]

No chance of seeing the list of guitar gods? It would be a shame if Duane Allman isn't on it. Anyway this would be my first game of this nature, I might as well start with this one.

[Amora's_best_friend]

I'll sign up for a joke.

[JKLantern]

Some of the roles you'd be able to guess from the Guitar Gods I have in the list. I picked some big names and some less big names. And some of the roles I made are wacky.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Hope you have better luck getting sign-ups for this than I did. It was one of my original proposed Mafia ideas - on the thread that went astray :) - but I was having trouble convincing folks that non-"genre" Mafia games had potential.

[theanalogkid]

Dibs on Alex Leifson! I'm in.

[JKLantern]

Okay, we have 6 people signed up out of 25 roles. We've still got plenty of room! Come one, come all!

[scehaono]

when you say at least a week, how much longer would you push it back? (i don't want to be playing too many of these at once with school)

[JKLantern]

when you say at least a week, how much longer would you push it back? (i don't want to be playing too many of these at once with school)

Good question. Depends on how quickly sign up, how heavy my own school load gets, etc.

But, I can definitely push it back for more than one week, if it works better for you that way.

[bamf!]

I'm in.

(Hopes to get John Frusciante)

(Knows he never will)

[Rokk_Krinn]

I'm in.

(Hopes to get John Frusciante)

(Knows he never will)

Tell you what, if you get a Beatles member and I get Frusciante, I'll trade with you. :)

[JKLantern]

*Disclaimer: Not everyone's favorite guitarist will necessarily show up in the game. I tried to include a bunch of good ones, and a couple slightly more esoteric ones. This doesn't mean your guitarist isn't awesome. It just means they were too busy to come to the Festival this game takes place in.

[turdburglar47]

I may join, if I can be the kind of guitar god who is so awesome that he can change the physical properties of things.

Such as pointing my guitar at an apple and going SKRIDDLEY DOO and it turns into a hot babe.

Or give me Mike McCready. Or that guy who sang My Guitar Wants To Kill You Mama. Or the Cheap Trick guy.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Every time someone joins this game, I find myself pulling an "air guitar"-riff a'la Bill and Ted. :laugh:

.

If I remember my stand-up correctly, I think you may be happy with one of my favorite roles...

We're currently up to eight. About a third of the way there, give or take. And in the unlikely event we go over, I can always throw in some more roles.

[turdburglar47]

All right, I'm in.

[JKLantern]

Have you just died off in another mafia game? Join the Guitar God Mafia! We've got room!

[KitsuShel]

Throw me down.

:)

[JKLantern]

Sweetness.

I'm tempted to step up my advertising efforts, but I think that would get kinda obnoxious REALLY fast.

Current member count: 9 people (unless I'm mathematically challenged today).

[JKLantern]

UPDATE: If more interest isn't displayed in this, I might retool it into a more generic "Rock" or "Classic Rock" Mafia, adjust the size, change around some of the roles, etc. Lemme know which way you guys wanna go with this, and I can accomodate.

[Antipathy]

Bumppity Bump Bump

[biz567]

I'd hate to do this JK, but I'll join if you join mine...

Though I'll probably end up joining anyways.

Just sign me up, lol.

Which one is yours?

[biz567]

The Civil War one. The links in my sig!:)

[Rokk_Krinn]

So, JK, how close are we to the "minimum required" to run this? I know it sounds like a suck-up but this is a game I'm really excited to play. :)

[Antipathy]

Sorry, you were killed before the game even started. :grin:

[JKLantern]

I have the game set up for 25 or so roles, but I could tweak it and make it less. Just let me take a look and see how to pare this bad boy down...

We're currently at 10 players. I don't think I can chop it down quite THAT far.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Just give us all bandmates - double roles :) - and then we'll be at 20! They don't even have to be "traditional bandmates"; you can pull a George Martin "In My Life"-style celebration and have Jim Carrey singing "I am the Walrus!". ;)

The way I have things set up, things would get messy if I did that. REALLY messy.

That would be a pretty neat idea, give us two characters and their powers, and let us use two a night.

[JKLantern]

Okay, with just one mafia and the townspeople, and minimal shuffling of roles, that would be sixteen players. If I adjust some roles, I may be able to get it to less.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Well, then I hate to do this but...

Folks, JK has been great about supporting your games. He's signed up for plenty of them and jumped fully into the Mafia pond even when it was a bit intimidating. He's always good-natured about it and just has proven himself to be a top notch member of the community (both on and off the Arcade). While no one should play purely "out of obligation" - as it'll suck the fun out, I'm sure - just stop and think about how many times you needed those few extra people and JK was right there, how great he made your game (and will surely make this one), and how diversity is a great idea for keeping Mafia fresh (as opposed to just our standard comics/games/movies-stuff).

Yes, I'm shilling for JK so you can point the finger at me but if anyone deserves support on getting a First Game together, it's him.

Awww, thanks Rokk!

Remember, the more people we get in, the greater diversity in roles we'll get! Sign up today!

[Rokk_Krinn]

Hey, for what it's worth, I've started a PM-campaign as well. Just doesn't seem right that you pitch in trying something different and it gets passed over while certain other games from "less tried and true" folks fill up almost immediately (no slam to those individuals - they do just fine - so much as a case of pointing out that you've earned the shot at this.)

[JKLantern]

Someone remind me to never, EVER get on Rokk's bad side.

[charlesx]

Given that I have been eaten by giant spiders in the Buffy mafia, I am willing to play. Just one request - please don't make me post in nonsense/rhymes. It was very fun but I am creatively exhausted!

:p :cool: :laugh: :p :cool: :laugh:

Well, none of the characters rhyme...

(Seriously though, thanks for joining up! I owe you. :) )

[Melkhor]

Count me in too, I feel in the mood to break a few guitars and trash some hotel rooms! :)

[JKLantern]

Sweet! Welcome aboard!

[JKLantern]

While it would be short, and kinda boring, I might theoretically be able to start a game with the players we have now. Of course, the more players we get, the more interesting I can make the game!

[Rokk_Krinn]

I'm working on it. ;)

[DarkCorsair]

I'm working on it. ;)

He is, indeed. And he makes a compelling argument to boot. I was waffling, given the number of games I signed up for, but Lantern was good enough to go out on a limb for my non-comic game, and he seems to be genuinely excited, which is the sign of a good game. Count me in, JKL. I'm ready to rock n' roll. :)

[JKLantern]

Wow. I should make the Role that Rokk wants a little better at least...

[JKLantern]

We're now up to 15! Rokk is a force of advertising might!

[DarkCorsair]

Wow. I should make the Role that Rokk wants a little better at least...

Yeah, ramp it up, and then randomly assign it to me. Good plan. I think we're all agreed.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Wow. I should make the Role that Rokk wants a little better at least...

Which is good in theory...until someone else gets it. :laugh:

(Though, hey, I'd be happy just to see that role well represented even if I'm stuck as, I dunno, one of the Backstreet Boys. :) )

I gave him a power that made some tangential bit of sense to me.

[JackAssterson]

JK really should have a chance to run this thing.

I'll join, but I know NOTHING about rock, so don't get all excited when I don't know who Jimmi Hendrix or Van Halen or whoever is.

I was mostly kidding. Gilmour is one of the Guitar Gods before whom I humbly bow down and say "We're not worthy!" I would be equally ecstatic with Rhandy Rhodes, Brian May, Sammy Hagar, etc, etc, etc.

For those about to rock - WE SALUTE YOU!!!!

Is Weird Al a guitar god? I know who he is.

[JKLantern]

Is Weird Al a guitar god? I know who he is.

He's not in this game. But I got the next best thing as a potential role...

I'll probably keep sign-ups open until Thursday or Friday afternoon, in case we get any stragglers. Then...prepare for the Concert...

[Rokk_Krinn]

Wyld Stallyns!

Take them to the Iron Maiden!

Excellent!

One step above that.

You can't go one step above that. Napoleon looks down (well, up most likely) upon you with great displeasure!

[Stepper79]

OK I am in but I have to be an 80's rock god cause I know nothing about any other era's

Although Sinatra should be a mafia DON (I Know, no guitar but he is FRANK)

There are several eighties type people on my list. Depending on how I go about doling out the roles, there should be a decent chance of you grabbing one. However, it is far from being eighties people entirely. I tried to include an interesting mix, including a few potential esoteric picks.

I was joking mostly - I just wanna be Huey Lewis :)

Good job, Fry. Now protect that special brain of yours. We'll need it to save the world in the future.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Sheesh, everyone is your cousin, Rokk.

Well, it helps being "Old Italian" for a good chunk of my family - Italians count relatives out to like the 99th factor. :laugh: (Though usually I stop after 5th or 6th, the people I've told you about were closer than that.)

[JKLantern]

I'm largely Irish/Scottish/British. I didn't start counting out to second cousins until about this summer, when one came to visit.

[Rokk_Krinn]

We don't really count the Irish and British parts of my family - I think I'm the only one who really even tracks that - too much due to some "bad history" concerning the way they treated my father. My father's pretty sure I'm a throwback because I'm as fond of the Brit part as I am the Italian (though it helps having lived in both places for awhile but, yeah, I'm quite proud of all my heritage).

[Ross...]

ill be in but give me bob dylan!

[JKLantern]

Eh, he's MUCH better known for being a lyricist than a guitarist. As such, he wasn't included on my list.

Yeah, I have untold numbers of cousins and such in Sicily. I've never met most of 'em, but they're there.

[JKLantern]

Speaking of relatives, I found out during High School that I was distantly related to one of my English teachers. Scary, no?

[Vevilaughs]

Count me in if you need another player.

[JKLantern]

The more the merrier!

Er...

I mean...

LET'S ROCK!

Note to self: Give Jack the "Shane Cooley" role...

Just a heads up. This would have been my first Mafia game; but with my hard drive shot, my participation may be limited for this.

ill take jimi then : )

[JKLantern]

Jimi is a potential role, as are many other super stars and lesser stars and currently deceased stars...

Did Rokk add me?

Keep dying in every game...I blame Rokk. And Ross...

All right, good to know. Thanks for the heads up.
Well; with any luck, I'll have my computer back up by next week sometime. I don't know when you're going to actually start, but hopefully I'll be on board.

[The BoyBlunder]

Yeah, I died twice this week. Add me.

My person guitar god is Alan Sparhawk from the bands Low, Black Eyed Snakes, and Retribution Gospel Choir. He is a MN local, but Low has won many European awards.

Actually signing up for Pirates vs. Ninjas. Of course, I suppose it's no real secret among my friends that I'm a dork...

[vicious x]

I was a lil hesitant on joining this one since I never played the game,... but this is mafia and its close to filling up so count me in :)

[Rokk_Krinn]

It's not based on the video game (well, I guess it could be in a way) but on the idea of ID's of masters of the guitar. See, not playing the game doesn't hurt you in the least (besides the game is just playing a guitar alongside classic tunes anyway so there aren't any "secret bits of info" to be gained from it).

[JKLantern]

Up to 21 players! Sweet! I'll be sending out roles tomorrow afternoon. And if we get more than 25 players somehow, I can always add some more. After all, there are plenty of EXCELLENT guitarists I know that didn't make my list.

[feluwelt]

OK, never mind my PM

Ill join on up

As someone who has played both Guitar Hero and real guitar, they are about as similar as Duck Hunt and going out and firing a real shotgun. Unfortunately for me, poor fine motor skills inhibit my ability (somewhat) to do the cooler one.

[feluwelt]

ok, I looked it up, I am bad with lead singers as not the best guitarists in the group you must have

Kirk Hammett

He is the generous behind metallica for the past 24 years

[feluwelt]

I could never get the knack of reading music so playing instruments didn't work well with me, I have shot a rifle though lol and I know its harder then duck hunt, I just love guitar hero cause it makes you feel like you really are playing

can't wait for rock band. I want to play drums

[feluwelt]

Oh on the comparisons, they say the drums in rock band are pretty much on, with real drums sticks. 4 drums and a kick stand for bass. they say if you can play the drums on expert you can be a real drummer. Can't wait to try and emulate Lars Uldrich

Senior Year of high school, I was given an assignment in which I was supposed to make a documentary about a sub-culture. So, I called up a whole ton of my musician friends, and was prepared to do a mockumentary on the garage band sub-culture. I had about seven musicians lined up to play...

Two showed up, a guitarist and a bassist. And in the course of making the movie, we decided to film a jam session. They look at me, "You have to sing." "God no." "Well, then, get behind the drum set there."

Senior Year of high school, I was given an assignment in which I was supposed to make a documentary about a sub-culture. So, I called up a whole ton of my musician friends, and was prepared to do a mockumentary on the garage band sub-culture. I had about seven musicians lined up to play...

Two showed up, a guitarist and a bassist. And in the course of making the movie, we decided to film a jam session. They look at me, "You have to sing." "God no." "Well, then, get behind the drum set there."

It was a blast playing the drums.

I think that's how Ringo got his start. "Hey, we're out a drummer." "What about that kid over there?" "Yeah, he'll work." ;)

Ironically, Ringo Starr is the main Drummer on Keith Moon's one solo album.

People would be surprised if they realized how much the Beatles actually show up elsewhere (not just in their influence on other musicians but, y'know, actually were out playing with them.)

At the very least, I know George Harrison (if not the other Beatles) makes an appearance on the song "Badge" by Cream, credited as "L'angelo Misterioso." As part of a group joke, I wrote that on a random part of my Organic Chem 1 final last semester.

And Joe Walsh and Ringo Starr have produced albums with each other.

And my favorite Beatles connection by far: The current drummer for the Who, Zak Starkey, is Ringo Starr's son.

I have to wonder if U2 would have become "as famed" if they hadn't copied the Beatles' famous "Get Back" rooftop performance but I don't want to turn this into another one of my "Beatles Shrine Threads". :laugh:

As for some other connections, Traveling Wilburys, ELO and others all had Beatles members with them at some point so, there ya' go again.

My favorite Beatles trivia is that Ringo Starr played Mr. Conductor on Shiningtime Station, the PBS childrens show.
