Id be happy to look it over Ehlac!

Was this directed at me?  What is it referring to? 

[Ozle]

Stupid autocorrect on phone changed Yuma to Ehalc

DoMafia II should be done in about a week. Still working out a few kinks.

Curious about the clue game Yuma is planning on running, I had had thoughts of running a game where everyone was given a pseudonym. As in clue, you would be given a forum account With a pseudonym Colonel mustard, mrs. Peacock ect. I haven't been sure how much of a pain people would find it to have to log into a different account to play the game. I just thought it would be cool to play a standard game but with no idea who is playing or who is posting what. Sign ups would be handlers via pm and all player identities would remain secret till the end of the game.

So Yuma does your game have this? If not how do people feel about this?

[Ozle]

I think we tried that with the hydra game...didnt work too well if I remember. Very very low activity that game.

No my game will not be like that. It will be a normal game--run with a Hard Boiled set-up, but with a Clue mini-game inside of it with Clue game flavor roles, etc, etc. But the basic play of the game would be normal. Ash can you put me down for a slot in the normal game que?

As for the pseudonym game. Hydra had two players sharing an account... I think that was the main problem with low post counts... in that everyone wanted to check with their partner before posting anything. In a pseudonym where you are the only player with that name I dont' think low activity would be a problem. But I do know that there were quite a few problems with people accidentally posting with their normal account and giving away who they were, as was people posting at different time zones, etc. It is an idea, but one that I think is more complicated than at first glance.

What I was thinking would help solve the time zone issue is that knowledge of who is even in the game would be closed, I don't think anyone has a time zone/posting habits that is completely different from everyone else. Anyway, I do think it would be a cool idea, it would depend on if everyone was okay with having to log into a different account for the game.

You are already there.

[Eevee]

Mcmc, I would play, but I think you and yuma are underestimating how much having to log onto another account drops activity (on mobile especially). Also remembering players who are all "new" to you makes forming reads much harder.

That's the point of that game.

[Eevee]

I know, but I fear it will lead to low activity.

[mcmcsalot]

I know, but I fear it will lead to low activity.

I had thought of this and was weighing the pros and cons of running it as a blitz game.
Pro's: Blitz games already overtake priority and leave other games rather vacant until they are finished, this would fix the activity issue.
Con's: Blitz games are already harder to form long lasting reads and impressions thus adding an element of uncertainty would be much less relevant.

Isnt your pro compounding the problem for other games though?

Sorry, I have too much on my plate to run another game at the moment. Anyone else want to jump in front?
