Signup threads (or sign-ups) are threads where hosts collect the players for their game. Each Mafia Forum can handle this differently, but usually this is a separate thread, created by the host after the design phase has been completed and an In-Game Mod signals the host that the Mafia queue has reached their game and they should proceed with signups. In some games, where the game mechanics require it, signups can be done by PM to protect the identity of one or more of those playing, adding an extra layer of anonymity to the game (e.g. Puppet Mafia, Quantum Leap Mafia). __NOEDITSECTION__
