Sorry all, I should have posted here in advance of Hurricane Sandy but was not expecting to be without power for multiple days.

But yeah.  I'm without power for multiple days, which is terrific fun with a newborn and two other small kids.  Posting from work, which has power, but I'm only here a couple hours today.  Will likely be very scarce here AND in Quicktopics until power is restored at home, which could be upwards of a week.

IRL worries have me pretty much v/la for the next day. I'll be posting what I need to in the game that's close to deadline, but other than that, too stressed out to commit to anything atm. Shouldn't take more than 1-2 days.
Yeah broke up with girlfriend of 5 years. Thoroughly depressed, I hopefully won't pull a MMM but don't know when I'll feel like making the effort to read let alone post again.

Very sorry, Eevee. Hope you feel better. Please don't disappear on us; we would miss you too much.

Very sorry to hear, I went through that 3 years ago myself. Hope things look brighter soon. We don't want to lose our Wild Eevee.

Lots of thanks for the kind words guys. Them and planning a trip in real life with friends actually even got me interested enough to read and post. No worries, pretty sure you aren't losing me. :)

There's no one else who is capable of sticking 45 coppers into my deck into a single game of Dominion*. I (and all of us) am glad you're not leaving. Focus on the positives and nothing else.  :)

*This may or may not have actually happened to me >_<

Eevee, you may find the forum to be a welcome distraction.  It certainly is for me when my elderly mom is having tough days.  Hope things improve soon.

I am traveling today, and then a busy weekend, and traveling again on Monday. I will be much less responsive until Tuesday.

I know, but people still cant seem to see that the games are filling up slower and the ones that are running are getting less and less input
It all but killed off spectator interest in games, and eventually it will kill off Mafia all together I would imagine.

I actually think it's detrimental to have rolling games - that is, it's better to run in blocks than always try and have active games running. You're right that it's killed off spectating, because as soon as people die, they're already playing in other games so don't get involved in the following of ones they're out of - which is sad because there's much to be learned from watching games continue to play out.

More than that however, when games end in blocks, it means a certain number of people will have been dead for some period of time, and they'll be chomping at the bit to get back in and going, creating a level of enthusiasm for the launch of new games - enthusiasm that's important for carrying a game through it's random stages and into the meat of it.

With the constant stream of games, you get people jumping for the excitement of PM's and opening flavour, but then they stall out and really drag. There a LOT of good, flavorful games waiting in the queue to get launched and played, but it's all incredibly overwhelming.

Games I'm in, or following (because I don't stop once I'm out):

M-XI, M-XIII, M-XIV, ZM3, RMM3, BM-VI

I've also got 8 QT's that I'm actively following or participating in across all those games.

And I love it, I really do - but part of the excitement of playing comes from the anticipation and build-up to new launches.

Well, that's how I feel anyway. And this is the wrong thread for this, but it's where the conversation is at. I understand the jam that launching 3 new games at once causes... But it seems to me the reason that happens is because there's genuine excitement to get in and get playing again - and that only comes from people having a little bit of down time every now and then where they're watching and waiting instead of constantly playing.
