Hi all!
A couple of things. My availability for Mafia-related activities is about to go down very significantly. I'm still very committed to the site and making regular updates, but I'll be aiming to get something like 2-3 things done a week rather than 1-2 per day. There are still plenty of things on my to-do list and I won't be surprised if it grows more quickly than it shrinks for a while, so I can't guarantee how quickly I will be able to respond to suggestions and requests. But keep making them, and I will keep adding them to the list and get to them when I can. Any and all contributions you can make in terms of playing, inviting and organising for people to play are very much appreciated; I hope to spend as much of my Mafia time as I can improving the site.
Secondly, could I please have an indication of who is keen to help with Beta testing? I'm envisioning having 5 or so testers who each have say 3 different accounts on the Beta site, and use these accounts to fill games there. Games will be purely for testing purposes (site testing that is, not balance-related setup testing). Days will last 24 hours and Night 48 (there's more to test during Nights). There's no obligation to check the site every day (there won't be prods), although ideally everyone logs in each Night and submits whatever Night actions their accounts have. We can use this to test things that haven't been used yet on the main site. I plan to update the Beta site a week ahead of the main one, so whenever the main one is updated, that version has already received a week of Beta testing.
