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!
Pending just because of Poops...
I'm so lifeless now and there will be transitions at work to do starting this week, but a girl can dream.
I'll use the time to think further on this.
Hmph. A very wise decision, my friend. I stopped playing on here about a year ago and found plenty of other places to play Mafia. Trust me, the game here is the absolute worst, simply because of the incompetent councils who comes up with silly rules and have no idea how to balance a setup and insist on using ridiculous fonts and colors that are a total eyesore much less the cheating, favouritism and other none sense.

You literally came up with the most stupid rules to prevent me from playing when i was only participating in like two game in a whole year. I didn't even break any rules. Good for you appealing for those 4 players i guess.
I don't know other online MGs but after a lot of trials and plenty hostkills and stuff, MH MGs seemingly became mature and even got different mechanics that makes it exciting to play, maybe only excluding Gry putting 4 votes on me to lynch once : ))
I am saying this as i actually looked up lots of previous games while only lately began playing myself.
And compared to the games i played in real life similar to the or same as MG, here is better.

It is a bit strange to say this place is better when you haven't tried anywhere else. This place didn't let me grow as a player and i got really surprised by the people who gave me positive feedback in other platforms, well as long as you are having fun here, that's what matters. good luck
