AD mafia? Drunk mafia? It's gonna be hard to limit myself to only one game!

AD mafia? Drunk mafia? It's gonna be hard to limit myself to only one game!

AD mafia probably won't start for six months or so at the rate we are going! (which I should note I think the rate we are going is ideal for the number of players we have.... not a criticism, just a commentary).

So plenty of time to clear your schedule.

I think the order for the normal games might be a bit off. They should be in order of when the mod asked to be put in, right? Mine was until somewhat recently RMM, but I changed it because there is little demand for that. It was in the queue before some of the games now ahead of it. I think this might be true for some other games too, especially with the recent flurry of sign-ups...

Easy fix is to find the time stamp for your original post, then the next regular game request that happened after it.

[shraeye]

My game has technically filled.  I'll give some number of extra days (less than 7) for additional people to express desire to signup.  Though it is a 9-player game, we will be accepting signups beyond that number, and then randomizing for who plays, and who has awesome fun in the Spec QT.

[mail-mi]

RMM game for me, plz! This is actually going to be a semi normal game. Normal enough that I would suggest even Yuma sign up for it. 9 players.

[liopoil]

okay.

So, I have two ideas for games in the making, not sure which one I'll run. One is an 8 player simple blitz game, the other a RMM game which I haven't decided how many players yet, somewhere from 10-13. So can I reserve spots for those? I'd probably rather do the RMM game, but there's a few of those in line, so that wouldn't be for awhile.

RMM game became normal later. This was on the 22nd of april. The person ahead of me in line is mail-mi. His post:

I'd also like to sign up for a normal game, it'd be the Fire and Ice setup, i think its cool.

(Pun intended)

is on the 13th of may.

next ahead is community, which is "yumersky" apparently. I can't find the post for that, presumably yuma and ashersky talked about it via PM or something. after that is sudgy:

You know what, I think by the time all the games in the upcoming games queue are over I'll be able to mod.  I might as well say it now.  I'm planning on running two normal games and two BM games in the near future (and one in the far future (say ~1 year), so don't put it on).  I won't say anything about the BM games, but the first normal game I want to be a simple, open setup (maybe even a newbie game) and then another more complicated game.

this post is on the 25th of april. I assume cuzz was way before me, I remember that game being in the queue for a very long time.

So assuming that community is correctly behind sudgy, I should be ahead of mail-mi, yumersky, and sudgy at MXXXI.

So, not to be nitpicking or anything, I just want to get my game going

[ashersky]

Fixed.

[yuma]

should announce here for people that don't check unread posts that CLUE mafia is open for signups. If you were a player that wanted to play in shraeye's game, but didn't sign up because it was full you get priority placement!

[ashersky]

Another RMM needs to start soon.

[shraeye]

shraeye's game is about to start.  I'm still collecting confirmations.

[sudgy]

When do we want another newbie game?  I'm up for it, if you want, and I could open sign-ups right before my long V/LA.

[ashersky]

Hmmm, all games in night.  Shakespeare starts back up in a few hours, though.

[yuma]

I think perhaps a little bit removed from shraeye's game? He is running what is generally considered the "newbie" setup.

Maybe once simple mafia is over, you can open signups for an extended period to attract newer players to it? And if it doesn't fill quite all the way attract a handful of regular players?

when is your long V/LA?

[sudgy]

I posted in the V/LA thread, it's from July 4-20.

Is there something we should do to make town win more?  Scum has been winning a LOT recently.

We could play better as town.  I point to Bankers as a game town should have won.

The other option is for me to host more C9++ games.  Town wins those flawlessly every time.

I do agree that game was very winnable for town, but it's actually really the only game recently that was sort of close. Other than the town blow out that was Mafia XXIII, scum are running away with it every time.

I think this MAY be a function of playing with the same group of people over and over again. Basically, everyone I think just starts acting the same way. So Eevee doesn't have a town meta and a scum meta he just has a meta. He always acts like himself, that's it. Hard to find scum there.

Isn't that how it is IRL?  I've never played IRL, so I don't know, but if I'm playing with my friends, they'll never act differently.

Yeah, it's more or less how it goes in real life. Well, maybe. It's now certainly true that I have played mafia way more times on these forums than IRL.

[Dsell]

*points to most recent blitz mafia game* ugh

[Eevee]

I mean yeah, town just needs to play better. People tend to put in more effort as scum and look for wrong things as town.

I think lio is right in that closed setups favor mafia more, whereas open setups favor town a bit more. I think most of the games that town has won recently have been open or semi-open setups. So maybe I would suggest more open setups. I mean having a closed setup is fun... new roles, little bit more on the slightly crazy side, new mechanics and everything (but they do tend to favor scum, even if all the roles are perfectly balanced, just because of the information factor). Although this certainly isn't always true... as Pirates was semi-open and town was crushed. That and even though we haven't had any in a while having two mafia teams obviously favors mafia as well...

and blitz games as well are leaning more toward town.

So I don't know. I think right now if I had a suggestion it would be to give town a little more power in closed setups. Like if you think it is balanced... add a 1-shot something or other? But really all the games have been balanced, but mafia has just played with what they were given better than the other teams...
