Requests to Host Games

[Askthepizzaguy]

In your request, please note the following:
Name of host - name of game (if known) - preferred slot in calendar (size/slot: (month/year)).
ex: Askthepizzaguy - Batman: The Dark Knight - Large 2: (June '11).

Here's the Calendar (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?135994-Mafia-Hosting-Queue-5.0) for easy reference.

If any special issues arise, or you need advertising (Large/Huge only) please PM Askthepizzaguy or Chaotix.



This is NOT a thread for discussion, musings etc. Put in your request to host, or cancellation of same, and that is all. Other posts will be expunged.
You cannot request a new slot of same game size in the calendar until a previous game of yours with the same game size has reached concluded status.
Huge games needs two Large game slots. Find a month with two open Large game slots to book a Huge game.
All posts in this thread will be deleted on a regular basis, to prevent the thread becoming too big (big threads slow down the boards).

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hi Askthepizzaguy. If you don't mind, kind sir, I would very much like to host another large game as soon as a slot opens on your very well-maintained calendar. I don't have a name for this game just yet, but I would like to reserve a spot nonetheless.

Warmest regards,
Askthepizzaguy

Dear Pizza,

I would like to announce a game that I plan to host and apply for a spot on my beautiful calendar here. It's not mine? Not yet!
Anyway, it's a small game and will be called "Country for old men".

ELITEOFKWARMAN88GINGERBREADMAN-KNIGHTTIME 3;A GINGERBREADMEN'S TALE- November 2011 (Large)

Thank you! :yes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have asked the folks who have occupied the September slots if their games are ready to go and if they will be ready to go.

Both hosts have not developed their game design and both hosts cannot host anytime soon.

As such, with Capo IV on the way, I am clearing out the month of September entirely, and also dropping my own game in October, and transferring all 3 empty slots to Capo di Tutti Capo IV.


Any objections, please contact me, I will give a fair hearing; if you prefer, contact GeneralHankerchief or issaikhaan.

[johnhughthom]

Looking at the small games may also be a good idea, I certainly don't want to host mine while Capo is ongoing. Perhaps having only one small one running beside Capo would be better?

[GeneralHankerchief]

We don't want to stop everything for Capo, it wouldn't be fair for the people who get killed early on to have nothing to do for a month or more. Plus, Capo is the kind of game where one can easily get locked out of the loop via an early death.

[Askthepizzaguy]

We don't want to stop everything for Capo, it wouldn't be fair for the people who get killed early on to have nothing to do for a month or more. Plus, Capo is the kind of game where one can easily get locked out of the loop via an early death.

I agree. I just was double-checking with the game hosts that had reserved a large game spot in September, and maybe fortunately for them, they weren't ready yet.

Small games are fine, but given the size of Capo probably hogging everyone's time and all the players we can get, it's unlikely another large game will thrive alongside it for at least a month or two.

As such I wouldn't recommend anyone taking over the now-empty September slots. If they really, really, really want them, I guess they're open, but seriously, I wouldn't do it. We are supposed to only have one large/huge game running if it's a huge game, and this is beyond huge.

Certainly overrule me if you think I'm being too hasty on this point, but I recommend this.

[GeneralHankerchief]

No no, you and I are on the same page for this one. Small games run as normal, Large games should probably stop and not start signups until Capo hits the endgame.

[Johhog]

Why am I still not in the queue for a Small Game slot? I requested a slot earlier as you can see if you scroll up.
EDIT: In fact it was before Warman.

My mistake, my apologies. :bow:

[johnhughthom]

You can go before me if you like Johhog, I'd prefer to wait until after Capo for mine.

Sorry if I sounded aggressive, I was just afraid I wasn't allowed to mod yet.

[Tratorix]

Blah. Due to needing to find both a new car and a new job, my next couple of weeks are going to be both hectic and based around other people's schedule's. I'd therefore like to request that my small game be postponed and whoever's next on the queue host instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Johhog]

Oh, I thought I was next, but I realised something when I looked at this thread again. I said I was before Warman, but Warman did /in to two games (which I missed) and one of them is before mine. So yeah, sorry for misreading, Warman is up next.

[TheLastDays]

Accodring to the queue you are up, according to this thread it should be warman. Should check with him if he's even ready to go though.

[johnhughthom]

Pizza pmed me that I was next, I asked if you could go before me, as we discussed earlier, Johhog.

[Johhog]

Yes (and thanks for that!), but as I wrote earlier today (sorry if I was unclear) I totally missed that Warman is before me in the queue, so he's the one up next. He also confirmed to me that he's ready to host and that the game thread probably will be up tomorrow.

[johnhughthom]

I was under the impression you were in front of him as you have a game thread and a fully developed game ready to go.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Yes (and thanks for that!), but as I wrote earlier today (sorry if I was unclear) I totally missed that Warman is before me in the queue, so he's the one up next. He also confirmed to me that he's ready to host and that the game thread probably will be up tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to withdraw my hosting which is scheduled to start in January. Time constraints simply won't allow me to host a large game. Anyone who wants to use The Thing game setting or bodysnatching mechanic has my permission to do so.

Just to confirm - I'll be ready to begin sign-up from the 3rd of Jan. Sorry I can't do anything with confidence before that - I'd rather keep you waiting for deep dark awesomeness than run any risk of delays etc.

[Jarema]

I want to put my small game in the queque:

Host: Jarema
Title: "Jarema's mafia: Focus on... Yakuza!"
Slot: 1/2012 or later

[Askthepizzaguy]

I see that folks are timid about starting their games right before Christmas. Understood; we can pick up after the holiday break.

[Beskar]

Yes, I was waiting after New Years for my own game. No point in hosting it when it is a "very active game" and no one is around for a week or so, ruining numerous turns.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm getting antsy. I'm ready to go and it's not going to be the santa one, it needs tweaks. Instead...

Askthepizzaguy presents: Darkling

A small mafia game.

[Jarema]

As for my game...
I would like to host it after the game I host on CFC ends. So it would be probably at february (or later, if I have to wait in a queque)

[LazyMcCrow]

OK - I'm back in front of a keyboard from tomorrow AM (GMT) and would like to list "Leaving Limbo" as ready to begin.

[Beskar]

Would you like to take my spot, Lazy? (if it is a small mafia game)

[LazyMcCrow]

Would you like to take my spot, Lazy? (if it is a small mafia game)

Sure! - that would be fine :)

Should I start a sign-up thread then?
EDIT: Ah - I wait a week as Darkling has just started - I get it :) Will post a sign-up thread next Monday unless anyone has any objection :)

[Beskar]

Go ahead, you can start the sign-ups now with the game itself starting Monday if you find that easier, since Darkling did fill fast.

Thanks Seon. I'm pretty much ready, So when should I begin to adverstise in a sign-up thread?

OK. I'm going to be away for four days over this weekend, as well as 4 days over the following weekend. There seems little point in me starting anything before then, but my (small) game will certainly be ready to begin sign from the 17th April onward.

My proposed 'Under a Blanket of Stars' small game which is next in line requires too much coordination with the Tech Mods to best use anonymous accounts.

If you don't mind bumping my 'Saboteur!' game up in its place I think I can have it ready for sign-up imminently. [/fingersXd]

[Askthepizzaguy]

As soon as "Nobody" is finished hosting "This" mafia game, I'd like to indicate my desire to host a large mafia game as soon as possible based on inspiration that struck me like thunder.... and fire, and ice, and stone.

It's called Orgah Battle.

It's possibly related to the Ogre Battle Saga. But with less Ogres and more Orgahs.

There will be Knights, Wizards, Ninjas, and very large men wielding axes going berserk. There will be magical spells, swords of legend, an alignment system and a method of switching classes. There shall be levels, and death is not the end.

It will feature many of the same ideas I tested over on the Straight Dope game, but this one will be better balanced and I expect there will be more active players AHEM AHEM.

My goal is to make this my big fat game of the year, as I don't think there's enough enthusiasm for a Capo-like game presently and BNY will not work with anything less than a certain amount. And I want a longer break before I tackle another Star Wars, as fan-favorite as it is, I can't get myself excited about a sequel yet.

I believe this is going to be the one you want to see this year from me. Stay tuned.

Visorslash is correct.

The King should be starting sign-ups for his game in the next few days if he wants to stay at the top of the queue.

Other than that, Jarema has a small game on the queue, but would prefer to wait until his large game is finished. The rest are not ready to host.

Please change this game to "Three Wolf Moon III: New Moon Rising".

[Visor]

November, Slot 2. Age of Kings, Large Game.

I'll see you guys then, and I will need a cohost, which I will organise when I start the signup thread.

[Zack]

Looking at the current messy situation for large games, what exactly is the advantage of having a calendar-style queue as opposed to a simple list?

[GeneralHankerchief]

If I remember correctly from the internal discussions we had before implementing the calendar system, the idea was to combat precisely what was happening now: Games that dragged wouldn't hold up the queue. I believe we reasoned that the games that leaked over into the next month would either be near completion or suspended by the mods/host because of inactivity. This would allow new games to continue to run while preventing stagnation (for example, imagine how bad the holdup would have been if there were no calendar - we'd still be on Pizza's and classical's games).

Furthermore, a lot of times, hosts only have a limited time window in which they can host their games before RL becomes too much of a crush or something. Without a calendar, you'd basically have to do a lot of rough guesswork and just pray that it's your turn to host when you actually have enough time to devote to the game. A calendar allows for more precision in this regard.

Oh hey, post 9,999.

[Zack]

Please take my game off. Clearly, there is very little interest in the Three Wolf Moon concept.

[El Barto]

My dear Askthepizzaguy, there is a free spot for a Large Mafia Game in December, I'd like to book it for El Barto's Vanilla Mafia, a rather simple affair. Large game, I'll adjust roles depending on the amount of players I can get. I promise no jesters.

Note: I cannot in any way move it forward, December's as early as I can host it, due to exams and other RL schtuff.

[Chaotix]

Which one, Zack? The small game, the large game, or both?

Dude, I'll add you to that queue so fast you'll wish you never met ATPG.

[Zack]

Both.

[Andres]

It's been a while. Put me on the queue for a large game. "The Palace".

January should work just fine.

[Visor]

If possible, could you move my large game to February, and chuck a small game on the queue (will host in a few weeks, anyone else can go before me), called 'The Expedition', based on Skyrim.

[Montmorency]

For that matter, my large game will have to be postponed indefinitely.

[Chaotix]

You signed up for a computer gaming forum because you play that computer game, and yet you have never heard of Halo, Skyrim, or the Legend of Zelda. How the hell is that possible?

He lacks polish.

[Visor]

Not the Saarthal Expedition. It is based in the same timeframe as the game though. It will have Draugr, Vampires, Daedric influences, etc, and a couple of interesting mechanics I would like to test out.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sign me up for a small mafia and a large mafia, whenever a slot opens up.

[Visor]

There are no small games in the queue, and I won't be hosting for a few weeks yet, so start em up.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There are no small games in the queue, and I won't be hosting for a few weeks yet, so start em up.

The next Large game is Ignoramus and his game, and Jarema needs players for his game.

As such, I won't be hosting yet.

If and when Jarema and Ignoramus have enough players for their games, I will begin a small mafia.

[Jarema]

You signed up for a computer gaming forum because you play that computer game, and yet you have never heard of Halo, Skyrim, or the Legend of Zelda. How the hell is that possible?

I am versed with strategy games, and with OLD rpg games - the newest one I played was Baldur's Gate.
I play mostly civilization, heroes of might and magic, age of wanders, europe universalis, panzer general series, master of Orion, total war, Fallout tactics, and more more more. So, my knowledge of computer games is biased.

[Ignoramus]

I'd like to request the June '13 spot to host a Huge mafia game - "Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table". Have some good ideas if I can get the players (would advertise well in advance).

Ig.

[Ferret]

Can you put me in the small game queue with 'Chemistry Mafia' please? Hopefully the gameroom can get some more players in so that we can actually play all of these games...

If we still need to use the official format:

Elite Ferret - Chemistry Mafia - Whenever's next free

Circumstances have changed since then. I'm withdrawing this.

[Jarema]

I will gladly host something small
Jarema - Guess Your Role II (Madness Strikes Back) - Whenever possible

[Chaotix]

I'm thinking of taking the second January slot for a large game, since exams are over and I have some free time.

As long as nobody objects/wants it.

Visorslash, since his game is the first February slot and I wouldn't want to delay it much if it's a problem.

[Visor]

Go ahead. I won't be hosting a large game until June at the earliest.

[Chaotix]

I'll remove you from the queue, then?

[El Barto]

I think I'll have a game up for March or April -subject to confirmation.

[Andres]

Put me up for a large one, in May 2013. Title still to be decided.

You don't have to sign up for non-mafia, Lazy, just shoot one of us a PM and we'll give you the go-ahead.

You can start sign-ups for this one whenever.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Askthepizzaguy's schedule is calming down (barely) and he is interested in hosting a large or small game in the next available slot.

[El Barto]

OK, one each as I have a spot now, if you want to do a large I'll do a small game and vice-versa.

The Wall - Small Mafia Game. Reveal on death, vanilla. 17 players. Will host in June/July. A different interpretation/take on Pink Floyd's vision.

Would like to sign up Ekklesia Mafia again for June/July as a Large game. This time, hopefully will get enough players to run.

Ferret, you should go ahead and begin signups now if you're ready.

Where do we post tequests for non-mafia game spots?

There's never really been any restrictions, put a thread in the GAH, and Pizza or Chatoix will surely tell you if there is an issue.

[Chaotix]

john is correct. There are no restrictions on non-mafia games.

You can make a thread in the Gameroom Assembly to try and draw interest before you are ready to host.

When you feel that you're ready, just shoot ATPG or me a PM to get our attention and we'll move it to the Gameroom and give you the go-ahead to start.

Just reminding you guys, that I do intend to host this game. I've got a different concept to Scourge of God, that I want to host however. Its a little experimental, quite strategical (IMO - you will see when I open a thread) and isn't going to take forever, should go to D5 or something.

Anyway, I would like to start signups in the later half of November if that's alright?

This should be my final mafia game for the year, and for a while so I hope to make it a good one.

Small games typically go by a queue rather than a calendar list. I'll update it now.

You'll need to wait for either one of the two current small games to end, but after that you're free to open sign-ups. That should probably coincide with when you want to start.

I would like to host a large mafia.
It would be Cluedo - inspired
(if you do not know what Cluedo is, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluedo#Suspects)
maybe saying Cluedo-inspired is too much (it is still an idea, not ready game).
But the people will collect clues (not like in clue mafia at civfanatics, but like: "murderer was not using a candlestick", "Mr White was in the kitchen", "Professor Plum has a rope")

anyway, it may change in my mind, but the rule will be: town has a lot of information like that to work on.
