What are the advantages of Skype over IRC? I know we could use voice chat which is cool, but I don't see a huge advantage in that anyway. Do we have any other reason?

I do believe that if you have a webcam to use with skype, it is mandatory to use it.

Tinychat is another option: it seems to use less bandwidth than skype, even when you're chatting to multiple people.

I imagine it makes it more like RL mafia, which is a completely different game from forum or IRC mafia. It really is.

What is this talk from earlier in the thread (i.e. several years ago) about group webcamming not working? Hmm...

Skype Premium

Group video from $8.99/month

http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/

...oh. Durn. Guess I'll be on my way then...

What is Tinychat?
Tinychat provides dead simple, free to use, video chat rooms that just work! Enjoy chatting with your friends or making new ones, just create a chat room or join one.

http://tinychat.com/

Guys. This must happen. Saturday? Hmm?

Also, I just tested it creating a room without entering a roomname. It came back with "m7ffa". That is an omen of plenty from the gods, people. (Or at least close enough for me).

I can be there, and apparently a few other people were on tonight as well. Just by typing in xkcdmafia I got to the chat. Brook and EH were there already. Apparently _infina_ too but he must have been AFK or something. Anyway it was actually kind of cool to see what these guys looked like IRL. Just a disclaimer before we play or anything: I'm only 17. I realize that most of you are in your 20s but don't judge me (cuz y'know you guys are definitely the judging type)<--- sarcasm. It's good to have good taste early in life no?

I may be traveling this weekend. If not, definitely up for it.

Lorenz: the basics of mafia are really not all that complicated. Read through a couple of games (especially vanilla games, if you can find them), make sure you understand the basic roles, and how basic gameplay goes, and you'll be fine.

Nothing specific planned yet. I've never played RL mafia, which I imagine this will be more like, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Need to know numbers before we arrange anything definite, I suppose

Ok, so it's going to be happening late for North Americans, and earlyish for Europeans.
Friday night/Saturday morning or Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Anyone got a preference?
