Well the tittle said it all tbh, why you guys like Role Playing as Mafia?
me personally, I fell in love with their codes, family-hood, loyalty, and secrecy.
I'm talking about Old School Mafia of course, when they were respected community, members holding out Omerta until they died.

so that's me, what about you?

I started playing mafia games about four years ago. I was 13, it wasn't this game, and a friend asked me to sign up, so I did. I found a fantastic group of people and I stayed on that game with them for another two years or so, got more into it after my Grandmother died and I needed a distraction from reality - it provided a very good one. Then I stopped playing for a year when a lot of those guys did and got my head down at school and stuff. Came back last summer when I knew a few of those had and one made me sign up here and give this game a try..took me a while before I learned to like this one though, but now I'd have to say I probably prefer it. Found more people that I knew from that other game but didn't really know very well and got to know them better, as well as seen another few appear here too. So really I guess its the people that've kept me playing, I had no interest in the mafia beforehand and maybe a slight one now. But yeah. Keeps me nicely distracted from life and school when I need it too :)
