I totally forgot to address your question. If you want in, you are in. New blood is always welcome. Hooray!!! Thanks everybody for the welcome. *starts chanting the "Will Not Check Board Obsessively" mantra* ...although I know I will.

I've never seen Firefly/Serenity, but I've been planning to for a while now. Perhaps playing in this game will push me to finally rent them.
I'm in!

Go rent Firefly...do it now, you will not be disapointed. Not being familiar with Firefly/Serenity won't hurt you in the game though. It is possible that being familiar with it could help you I suppose. But either way your life will be better for knowing the show. New list comming up (didn't mean to leave you off diggit.)

My only pause into getting the DVD is that I know it stopped after only one season. So if I watch it and love it, it's going to be sad for me knowing "but this is it, there's no more. ever."

I haven't seen Firefly either, but I would think that one very good season is preferable over three or four mediocre ones. Think of all the shows that were really good in the first season, then kind of sucked after that.

It is true, there isn't enough of the show. BUT they did sort of kind of know they were getting canceled so the season kinda sorta wraps up. Then Serenity ties all the rest of the lose ends. It is very satisfying on the whole. I watched the whole series the first time in a single weekend because once I started I just couldn't stop.

Sadly, the first episode completely failed to engage my enthusiasm. I never watched any more.

I ask because they aired the episodes out of order when the show was on the air, and in fact in an order that made the show make almost no sense.

IIRC the one episode I watched was The Train Job.
I generally think you should watch TV shows in the order they were aired, just as I read book series in the order published rather than going by the internal chronology of the series.

I generally think you should watch TV shows in the order they were aired, just as I read book series in the order published rather than going by the internal chronology of the series. Normally I would agree with you...but they weren't intended to be seen in that order. Train job, for example, doesn't make musch sense unless you already know who River and Simon are, who the alliance is, who the browncoats are etc. This is all information you can guess at, but if you use the novel analogy, it is like picking up and readin chapter 4 of a book without having read the first 3 chapters. Sure you can probably firgure out what is going on, but you will miss all the fine detail that makes it interesting.

After this game, I didn't think I would play mafia again, as I have to admit I wasn't having a massive lot of fun. No offence to you Idle, it wasn't your setup or anything - actually I'm thankful my first game was a smaller, simpler setup. I would have drowned had I jumped into a massive affair like MV.
However given the theming of Firefly I feel I need to give the game another go, if just to partcipate in a Firefly themed one. So sign me up please!
[as a side note, if anyone has any thoughts of a Deadwood themed game - I'll be there with bells on, or whatever else it takes to be involved ;D I'll bring the whisky]

(Plus, I'm kind of obsessed with Firefly, so you might have heard the very unmanly squeal when I found out this was the next theme.) So yeah, if you want fresh new blood, I'd like to sign up! I can beg and plead and bake cookies if you're unsure. That's not unmanly. That's just enthusiastic. So.... *makes puppydog eyes*....chocolate chip?

So.... *makes puppydog eyes*....chocolate chip? I can do those! Only ones I can do. Other than Oreos. Speaking of Mafia games based on TV shows (hey, notice my subtle topic change there? Eh? Eh?), I've been powering through season 1 of Heroes and have a sudden hankering to combine superheroes with a Mafia game. Hmmmm. *ponders thoughtfully*

Meanwhile, I'm sitting over here wondering if I can somehow turn this board into a place to play mafia type games for the whole net (much like mafiascum and the twoplustwo forums).
Hahaha, I doubt it'll ever happen or is possible, but we all do have a pretty good sizeable following now.
