Well I should hope not, it’s against the rules now.
(@ForgeDigger, it is against the rules, isn’t it?)
Yeah, probably should have said that. I’ll update the OP.
And I should probably mention this: the mafia will not be added to the mafia PM until the game begins at 9:00 AM CST on the 25th of May.
- Are they restricted from contacting each other? Or will they not know who their partners are until the game begins?*
They will not know who’s on their team until the game begins and they are all added to a PM. Roles will be sent out when the game begins (May 25th 9:00 AM).
Starting the game on a sunday for memorial day weekend? tsk tsk.
I will be at a BBQ all day, like usual for me lol, but I will be around if needs be
In an ironic twist of fate, the chances of my availability this weekend has risen dramatically, now that it’s been delayed to Sunday. Kid got sick. Doubt I’m going where I was going. Will know in a couple hours though.
*Day 1 lynch target confirmed.
Willy already trying to cover his ass in case he gets mafia. Trying to be all slick. *
And to counterpoint, your mafia mindgame to get me lynched day 1 in case YOU are mafia is now in full swing as well : )
Let the games begin.
Sorry, but that’s my SRKake day. c:
There better be a watermark or I am disappoint.
Pretty sure they began at the OP. 
So much debate and no evidence…
Lynch Fuzz
This day 1 sucks…
So I got a solid plan that makes the game impossible for the mafia to win.
Spoiler
Don’t play any swamps Kappa
I’ve got a better plan.

If you can chat while receiving oral surgery, you can play SRK mafia while at a BBQ.
I realize that Forge’s AV doesn’t really look like a person, but for future reference Jace Beleren does indeed have a face:
I dislike that picture. I like my own picture better.
Or this one:
Okay, changed it to the new one. The picture was just to illustrate that Jace isn’t some kind of weird energy creature, he’s just a dude who glows a lot.
Good ol’ Jace the wallet sculptor
