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?

/comod?

Donald's Greater Idea Mafia is open for signups!

Could we maybe hold off on opening new games until the existing ones fill?  People don't like being in a lit of games at once, and we are spreading our player pool a bit thin.

I think the community can self-moderate on this...having a game always open for sign-ups and then starting them when they fill (or soon after) is a better measure of what players currently want than anything else. People who join a game, but don't want it to start immediately, probably shouldn't be joining that game.

While this is certainly a valid point (a player pool that is thin) the prevailing opinion over time has been that a variety of open games at any given moment is good. It does mean that games fill a little more slowly. However, what it does mean is that the players who are joining it are joining it because they actually want to play in that specific game rather than just joining whatever game is most conveniently open at any give time or joining to get another game in the queue to come toward the front more quickly. Players who actually want to play are then more likely to be invested and not /out mid-game.

Now this prevailing opinion might not be entirely correct and is certainly open to change depending on what the community wants. But I personally like how it is right now with options and choices to pick from (as there are some games I would rather play over others at any given moment) rather than funneling everyone into just one or two games. I might even say that I would prefer more options to pick from (smaller games being the type that is often lacking) as I still often feel I am joining games more because I want to be playing mafia more than I want to play in that particular game.

Yeah, a comod would be really nice for this. Thanks a lot I'll also send you the setup, so you can look over it.

Actually, I had come to the same conclusions myself and thought I had cancelled that message!

On the flipside, people join a game wanting it to start immediately and then it takes 2 months or longer to fill and then it is time for a new baby to enter the family and they are unsure if they should out or not.

People also shouldn't feel bad about /outing pre-game!

Innovation 2 needs to start.

[XerxesPraelor]

I want to join Dice Mafia!

[Jimmmmm]

I want to join Dice Mafia!

And so you shall.

[EFHW]

Help!  I need TWO replacements for Innovation II!  Please pm or reply here if you are able to sub in.  It just started, so you won't be behind much at all. 

[sudgy]

I'm kind of busy today and tomorrow, but I'm still open if you need me.

[mail-mi]

And I may need a replacement for MXLIV, PM me if interested.

[EFHW]

I'm kind of busy today and tomorrow, but I'm still open if you need me.

great, thanks.  I'll send you a pm.

[EFHW]

1 more sub needed for Innovation! 

[yuma]

Put me down for an invented open game using 11 players. I don't think we have had a game with 11 players yet?

Also I think I am up next in the queue for standard/tweaked. Someone can jump me as I need a small break at least after hosting X-Men

[yuma]

Probably Voltaire is up next then?

[Voltaire]

Probably Voltaire is up next then?

Cool. If this is correct, I'll open signups once things have calmed down a bit?

[Voltaire]

M45 (Rerun TBD) open for input/signups.

[ashersky]

This was way behind, but updated now.

[yuma]

This was way behind, but updated now.

can you put me down for a 11-player open/invented game?

[faust]

This was way behind, but updated now.

ash, I think you forgot to put me on the invented queue.

Speaking of which, TA and I are not quite sure whether my game idea should be in Normal games or RMM. If an experienced mod could weigh in on the subject, that would be greatly appreciated. The setup section in question is open, so you will still be able to play the game if you like!
