General Mafia Discussion

[Keeseman]

I say signups should start on Day 2 of Pendio's game, or in other words, really soon. I think that should stagger the games enough, considering that it will take some time to get the signups finished and PMs out.

Thanks, and sorry for the bother. I've been busy lately and it's hard to keep up with everything that's going on.

Is a Beginner Mafia's game going to be playing while 2 other games are too, like I remember it being said in the Queue?

If so, does that mean that Gumball gets to bud?

Such a bother
Is your game completely ready to go, DH?

Good catch. In my opinion I say we allow it and see what response we get. If we get very few beginners (1 or 2) in the game, then I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we just completely get rid of beginners mafia (for a while). The Marshal, Dan, and Musicfan seem to be acclimating well enough so far (though I won't speak for them, just my opinion based on observation). I'd like to know what others think though.

I think we should only have one game at a time for the most part. We kept having multiple games at once, and inactivity was rampant. If we set up even two games at once, I just know we won't have enough people, and if we do, the games will probably be inactive. It's best to keep it one game at a time, and to start a new game when the other one ends, except for maybe a beginners game.

I know that PancakeSamurai wants to play Beginner's Mafia. Or at least, he's considering it. And someone else also wants to play Beginner's Mafia.

So I do suggest we try and see what happens. But not now. Later on. Maybe at the end of day 2 in Pendio's game (in a weeks time, I'm guessing).

I'm still considering it and I'm still procrastinating on reading that stuff.

Well, we need to consider other people that want to mod. One game is just too slow of a pace. I say we at least have two games going on at a time. We should start out with one advanced game, and one beginner's game. That way we keep things flowing. There is a chance inactivity could become a rising factor, but that's a risk we should be willing to take.

I think you'd more than likely learn better by doing than by reading. I, personally, spent a long time observing and reading before I even volunteered for a game. Even then I still learned much more playing than I did reading guides and Mafia Wiki articles. The more hands-on you can get with a game, the better you'll be able to commit habits, roles, and etc to memory.

So I think we can agree to stagger the games, right? Seems like that's where most opinions are leaning. Maybe start sign-ups during Night 2, or Day 3 of Pen's game (since from sign-ups to game start, it usually takes a week)?
As for LittleGumball, are we agreed to let her start her beginner game when her set-up is done? There won't be much of a player overlap between the beginners game and the regular games so I think it can start whenever.

Darknut: Is your setup complete for your game (I know you've been waiting in line for a numbered game for some times now)?

 

[Johnny Sooshi]

I can let someone else go ahead of me for one game because my setup isn't quite ready yet. I should be ready in a few days (taking into account my school work load and such) but not currently so.

All I need is a co-mod to help me out and then I'll be set. Also I'm going to wait until school is over before I set everything up. It will make it much easier on me because I'll actually have time to focus on this!

 

[Johnny Sooshi]

My game is all set now so whenever Viral is ready for me, I'm game.

 

[Eduarda]

Ok. So Darknut_Hunter's, Gumball's, and I believe Atticus' game is all set. So who would be going next?

 

[Viral Maze]

D_H is going to go first between him and Atty. LG can start her beginner's game whenever she's ready.

 

[Eduarda]

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up ^^
