You're not on the queue yet anyway right ? So if I jump ahead of yuma and you go after him, you could still do a ++ I think.

I should be in the queue...

I'd like to enter the queue for a normal game, I was thinking of running the setup Archetype used for Super Mario Bros again.

I was wondering why you were reading that game..

:D Hooray!


I do suggest tweaking it a bit --I think my suggested changes at them at the end of the game, but if I didn't I'll send you my opinion.

Well what I said still applies : we can both do ++ if you jump ahead of yuma.

Once MU fills, Volt can go.  RMM13 is still running.

Imma gonna encourage everyone wanting to host RMM games to sign up for them, if possible. I know not everyone can sign up for every game, but remember if people don't sign up for the games in front of yours then your game is not going to get run any time soon.

We tried to get two RMM games going at once and that just didn't quite pan out unfortunately...

For me there's a big difference between open/semi-open games and closed games, bigger than the difference between standard and RMM.  I've never played in or signed up for an RMM game because I think all of them that have come in my time playing mafia have been closed (I'm not sure about EFHW's game but that looks crazy complicated anyway), and I just don't have any interest in playing a closed non-bastard game.  So I guess it might be worth considering dividing up the queue based on closed vs. open/semi-open games, but of course only if there are a lot of other people who also think open vs. closed is a big determiner in what games they play, which looks like it probably is not the case.

I know that's a huge factor for what normal games I sign up for, Scott. I think it's fine as is though, we get some open and some closed, they rotate pretty evenly, and I just skip the ones I don't like as much.

I will say that you will find very few "open" RMM games. They are extremely difficult to create and are almost never truly open.

The reason behind this is because trying to create an open game with myriad roles and interactions and checking every facet to ensure that it isn't broken is very difficult, if not nearly impossible at times depending on the mechanics being used. Even open normal games are often very susceptible to being broken and tend to veer toward semi-open instead for this reason.

I don't think we have ever had a true open RMM game in the history of f.ds. But if you aren't interested in playing a closed game that is certainly fine. I am just explaining why they don't exist very often, if at all.

The exception are my closed games, of course, which are super fun!

My first modded game is over! And I want to do it again :) I already have an idea for a Closed Invented setup based upon recent BM games, which will probably be 13 players and the theme will be Game of Thrones again. Can I have a spot in the queue?
