I‘ve been told that several people are planning to host games, so to avoid any problems like people cutting into each other‘s game signups and other things we may need a schedule of games.
For anyone who plans to host a game, you can either write in this thread for what month/day you‘re planning a game or edit it in the schedule yourself if you can.
Note that there‘s no limit to how many games can be had per month, but try not to have 2 games running at the same time.
Sign-ups!
To everyone who usually plays MG or those that don‘t want to miss signups, we‘re testing a new way to alert everyone to a new game instead of mass tags before each game.
All you have to do is go to>>this thread<<and press Watch on the top corner of the thread. I or a host will post there and notify everyone like this whenever a new game starts.
While hosting overall isn't necessarily hard, it's very easy to mess things up as we have seen plenty of times already. This naturally happens more often with newer hosts.
In order to get these new hosts familiar with how the game works behind the scenes and make it a smoother experience for everyone (no one wants a cancelled game!), we are establishing these sets of rules that follow the methods that have been used in the last 50 games:
-If it's your first time hosting, it's MANDATORY to have the help of someone that has hosted before. As long as they aren't banned, it doesn't matter if this person hosted twenty times or just once. This experienced host will be the "Main Host", while the new one assumes the role of "co-host".
-Tasks will be split in a rather equal manner so that the Main Host can keep things in check while the Co-host gets hands-on experience to learn properly.
-The Main Host has the final say when it comes to decisions (ideally, this won't need to be enforced heavily, it's mostly to avoid possible issues).
Once the game is over, the co-host can host on their own and even take the role of "experienced host" for a new host in need!
The first game might be a little complicated for you since there are a lot of roles but eventually you will know them by heart. Also if you are mafia you need/should/would be good if you thought about which of the role you are going to claim because if you claim for example a Prostitute and there is one in game already, they might not trust you.
I played 10 games and I don't know what most of the roles do (easy when there are like 50 of them..), and I'll congratulate anyone who claims to know all roles by heart xD
Newbies can check out game history thread. Then they'd understand which roles can show up multiple times in a setup, etc., etc.

So, are we at 21 players, now that Xadyu is finally out
Well, to be fair, he was never in. I don't really have anything personal against the guy, but I've seen the hall of shame, and there must be a reason that he got banned over and over again, until he eventually got put away for good. Not going to risk a game of my own to find out why he's getting banned so much.
