Mine and Uncle's game needs some tweaks, and I don't feel like making said tweaks when there's so many people wanting to host, so I say you should ignore us.

[Dylan32]

Ok. I'll put a game into sign ups, but I'll defer starting if either of the other earlier games get ready to start!

[ashersky]

I won't be able to run Stargate until September at the earliest.  Setup is in good shape though.

[iguanaiguana]

I am creating Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Mafia. Each night, players explore the dungeon and gain a certain # of XLs. They will also have an XL 1 ability that allows them to try to get their XL higher. Power roles will have night actions that they can use once they reach a certain XL. Also, items will be lying on the ground for players to find as they level up.

I am thinking to run it either as an RMM where I use some of the roles I've created, or as an M that uses the role-bidding mechanic of M100 and M108. If it's an M, it will be a pretty complicated one where the vanilla characters still have the ability to influence the XL of the power roles (and each other).

I'm leading toward running it as an almost RMM but M setup.

I am totally happy to run this like... six months from now or whenever. But I want to get in line.

I also really need a comod to help me balance it and *crucially* help with night action resolution, which is going to be laborious.

down to co mod. would like to see how that set up works.

K, you're hired. Expect a PM some time next week

[Dylan32]

Join my game! It's about time we ran another open setup. Also, hopefully game balance won't be a point of in-game contention and worry lol

My 20/20 hindsight advice for balancing closed setups is this:

Once you have developed the setup, look at it again, with time in between, putting yourself in the mindset of each faction. "How would this feel to me before, during, and after the game?"

We'll see if that's helpful going forward.

That would probably be a good way of doing it. With this being the first game I've actually run (was LL's comod for 1 game), open is the way to go anyway lol.

Are we at a standstill because of QT going away? Or are people just busy?

[EFHW]

I don't know if QT is the reason for the standstill, but I looked into Chatzy some more, and I think it can work well if we use virtual rooms.

Where is everyone?

[WestCoastDidds]

Where is everyone?

Good question!

[Dylan32]

Indeed.

[Robz888]

My life got reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally busy, but I'd love to play again soon. I usually like to have a game going over the holidays.

Sign up for "Mouse Mafia" then!

[Swowl]

what does the lineup look like rn?
I know the next of BSG still needs to happen, and everyone should be signing up for II's Dungeon Crawl, but I have a semi open also I wanna run if there needs to be a filler.

Don't want to cut the line

Sorry, for some reason, I didn't realize this Hub was here for discussing the lineup.  But I guess your question didn't generate any discussion.  I posted a similar question in a new thread, which did get some responses.  I'll post them here and delete the other post (which didn't really look like it belonged there anyway).  The following posts are originally from Dec. 23rd to Dec. 28th.

I get that it's 2 days from Christmas, and Mouse Mafia just finished a few days ago.  But what's the next round going to be?  I'm sure people will be ready by the 27th or so (once a few days of Christmas settle in), or at least by January 2nd/3rd.

I see various starts, ranging from gauging interest to sign-ups to the legacy series.  Here are ones I see so far:

faust - Battlestar Galactica Legacy - RMM series
Uncleeurope - RMM62: Uncleeurope's First Idea Mafia
Glooble - BM33: Cosmic Encounter Mafia (gauging interest phase)
ashersky - RMM ??: Stargate Mafia (Gauging Interest Phase)
iguanaiguana - M137: Dungeon Crawl Mafia (signups)

(I also have some ideas for RMM and BM rounds, so I do plan to make sign-ups for those after a couple more rounds - but I'll keep them to myself for now)

Of those listed above, do we have the core/host ready for another Legacy round?  Otherwise, iguana's game looks like it's the farthest along for sign-ups.  I'm itching for a game!

There is still work to be done on the Legacy game, especially due to the need to port everything away from QT. But it would be a good motivator to set a deadline for that 

I think it could be ready by mid-January.

If anyone would want to play a trial game using discord for private channels just as a trial to see how it would work to figure out if it would serve our purposes better than the site we used for mathdude's game, I could set a server up for it and possibly mod the game so there's no issue with a player being able to see more than they should. I don't necessarily want to jump the queue though to do that though unless people want to try it out. Could be a small short game just for demo purposes.

That sounds like a good idea. I might not play again yet, but I'd at least join a speccy and see how the discord experience works.

I just thought of a really dumb bastard mafia I could run at any time. Don’t want to jump the queue though.

I think that at this point our queue is paused. No one is around or doing much to drum up interest and none of those have new posts…. So if someone has a game, let’s go!

Dylan, start us up a game!

Joth, I don't necessarily have time to actually start modding a game this week, but if you would want to be the mod guinea pig for discord I could set it up for you to run your idea. Interested in doing that? Otherwise I could run a super basic game.

I think that would work.

I’m going to be real busy the next three days but I could probably start signups today and start the game this weekend.

Great. If you start setups, I'll have the server ready to go when you are ready to send out PMs.

Hi.

[Dylan32]

Hello there

[infangthief]

Reading some ancient threads, I came across this gem:

Also, are you interested in playing a Mafia game on f.ds?

I don't even know what that means. Yes?

[Jimmmmm]

So as far as I can tell the whole of f.ds Mafia originated from a claim that Mafia isn't that strategic in a thread about Monopoly.

[infangthief]

I hope somewhere there is a Monopoly strategy forum in which someone started a thread about Mafia and they all ended up playing Dominion.

[Robz888]

Okay, are we playing Mafia? I want to play Mafia. I am "in".
