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 understand the mechanic is one of teaching and could have many benefits for future games, but wouldn't a kouhai's first instinct be to troll their senpai's advice for a laugh? I would not do such a thing but I think our senpai's will have their work cut out for them.

you're free to play it as you want, the whole point is to have fun I guess. in any case pairing with Bel will be beneficial for both of you even if you play it the funny way, and wtv you say you re a very considerate team mate, not that i dont know that . Pretty sure tho Bel will be the one who would troll you the most
No senpai wont post, but we will discuss maybe the possibility of them voting/casting actions in their kouhai stead, if necessary, even tho I think it's up to the kouhai to play/take decisions according to their senpai advice. basically, fighters are alone when in arena, they dont have their teacher helping them, that's how I see it.
I'll update the final date in the post.
If anyone can't play in that date, lemme know! Lemme just survive this pre holiday working week and me and Erin will work as some match makers for you lmao.
@Lady pompom@SonOfDaws@Asako feel free to pin and organize the speed game as well meanwhile if it's gonna happen on Jan 2nd indeed

Mafia teams may be super scary, about to go from like 4 to 8 players. No way this time mafia memes themselves and falls apart without a plan with so many senpais to think around.. right?
