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!
I'm not going to play this game, sorry.
However ! I'm passing the torch to my girlfriend @Anih, who will hopefully enjoy the game as much as i do. Be gentle with her !
I would like to, but unfortunately, I have to pass as well. My schedule is a bit... tight up (zzz). It's hard to predict when I'm actually finished with everything and when I actually have time god damn time to do something at all lol.
Perhaps next time? Someday... somewhere.... in a new life... maybe..?
Me playing is basically a myth at this point anyway.
It's the first day. We can still force @Lambu to play the game by guilting him into it due not hosting his own game. :P
And If we don't get enough we just posttone till we get enough players, either late July or straight into August which has no Mafia Game yet. Mechanics, rules and death scenarios won't just disappear overnight, no worries. But I would like at least 20 players else those 20 death scenarios were a waste of time which would make me sad.
