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 sorry to say this but we decided to move the game to august 7 considering we didn't even reach yet the minimum requirements for the mechanic and game to work, plus don't want to rush and changes everything that we planned all these months to do a game this month (doesn't help that the pending ones will probably not be in)
Will tag everyone later back especially those that did sign up to see if they ok with the time
(I'm helping with cooking right now)
Yea could appreciate to tell me if u see this so to not tag again those that did and if they could play that time
@Lambu So do you got time to play in August? You just need to write three comments, vote for GrySun and that's game. Not that demanding of a job, ain't it? Surely you can offer up those 5 minutes per day to play Mafia again.^^
But I said in a previous post that I preferred a schedule end of July since I am on vacation. =(
Most of my colleagues will be on vacation starting August, thus I have to cover for at least two of them. In general, I don't like to participate in MG while I am working, so the schedule will be bad most of the time for me, that's a fact. Which means, I would only play MG during vacation where I stay at home (and even then, it is not guaranteed) or when I think I will have a rather calm week at work which is a very rare thing in R&D in the automotive industry. And I won't participate just for participation sake (make 3 posts and vote), I'm not an alibi player.
Yeah, sorry Asa... As I said before, there's a high chance I won't be able to play a mafia game before November =/ But I'll try my hardest to join one this year
