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!
Have to wait on spirit....said he was going camping.
Guess when an aussie camps....its for weeks xD
@GrySun if i can get @Hardy to explain how it works.
Would you and @Evil3ye be open to having games of mafia that are shortened on time phases...i think its called speed mafia,idk.
Ofc,they would be theme less and rather basic.

Well....
I was thinking about it...its something i could do by myself and im usually available saturdays and sundays...even if im out im never gone long.
We could do different formats...like 12hr days and 8hr nites...or even games that last a few hrs...like 2hr day and 1hr nite....
Idk...but if everyone knew a fast game is every weekend,people would look for it.

Gry....could you possibly set up a poll to see if people like the idea?
Thnx....
Im hoping this will be somewhat of a remedy to those who miss out alot and those who have time on there hands and there's no game.
I think i could fit a game in on the weekends....maybe some weekends more games.
Especially if i do 2hr/1hr phases...
Lets see what people think...cause with formats like this,games are more accessible.

For more info on that game maybe you should write and sticky a post with details, like phases length, how complicated role-wise etc. Maybe also that part about no theme, since many hold the theme and avis in high regards.
