Chuck Mafia Roles Sent, confirm

[/]

Non-vanilla game, some new roles, with espionage style twists to make it more interesting.
Yes I realize I'm asking for too many players, twenty three would be the ideal number but I can make it fewer depending on what players prefer later in the signups, without compromising the setup or balance in any way.

If you decide to make me mafia, please don't make me the sole villian, or you could have a very short game.

[pmchugh]

Sure why not.

In all seriousness mafia is way in decline, two games trying to be started and niether can get more than 11 players.

Currently we have 7 games "running".

Both of nate's games are dead and Ratchet and Clank has had one post this week so that makes 4.

1. Webcomics has 6 active players max.
2. Princess bride has 6 acitve players max.
3. Mini series has 2 active players.
4. Counter terrorism has 10 alive players.

Making an extreme maximum of 24 active players and half of these are cross overs. I am in two of them and im sure the likes of stroop and suspect are too.

Gone are the days we could have a few 20+ player games at the same time, and the occasional 30+.

We need to get players coming back here or new ones coming in, or else it will just get worse.

I think I may run some newbie non-vanillas, or try and get a vet (if there is one left) to host a vet only game to get a few of the old lot back.

Indeed. I knew the place was in decline, but I come back after 4 months and the place is like a ghost town. Depressing really, because I had a good 20ish player game in the works, but I know it'll never get off the ground.

Some small newbie non-vanillas would be nice. I was thinking about creating a themeless 9-player game with an interesting setup, but the setup I was thinking of may be too complex to be called a newbie game. It certainly isn't a boring C9 though. I may decide to run it if Suspect's game fails to start, but I would need someone to check my setup for balance since I'm not an experienced mod.

One thing that could help the site is a change in the deadline rules. I don't like the site's standard "no-lynch deadline" rule. This is what I see happening with that rule:
Day 1: Deadline no-lynch because everyone's lurking and the town has no information.
Night 1: Active Player Dies
Day 2: The town still has no information and fails to reach a lynch.
Night 2: Active Player Dies
Day 3: There are almost no active players left. Game dies.
I like Hologram's deadline rule because it encourages active play and creates a lynch, giving the town more information, encouraging more active play, and so on.

You know what I agree but there is one problem with holo's game, a governer, we are basically stuck back at day 1 now. I think we need to get more fast paced games, like duel mafia's or something similar.

By the way, this is still a signup thread if anyone's interested.

Oops sorry for the hijack, at least I signed up lol.

[Hologram]

I don't mean to keep the hijacking going, but I just want to say something in regards to my rule. The rule is far from original. I found it first in Mafia Scum, lurking about there, tweaked it, made it my own and brought it here.

And yes, I use it simply because I believe that a bunch of no lynches will only make the game drag on forever, become boring, and everyone will leave. If the town wants a "No lynch" then fine, they can vote for it. Otherwise, someone is going to die that day, under normal circumstances.

[william18]

what happened to all the vets?

Well, uhhh discussion is alright if it keeps the thread near the top.

Me.

Thanks for signing up, well that's nearly half filled, but realistically the game is probably around 3/5ths of the way to starting.

[Hopscotcher]

I'll try it out. Why not.
