You are 4th on the queue with "St Thomas Hospital". You want to host this two cities game first, or do I put that one on the buttom of the list?
You can put it at the bottom. I'll keep the same name a tale of two cities.Quote:

You can sign me up for the 12 spots on the large queue :bounce:
No idea GH.
Hey, what happened to my spot on the Large games list? I remember someone putting it and...
Anyway, I'd like to host a large mafia named "Nosferatu".
Do people ignore my posts?
I had it in there I guess Andres didn't notice.
Ignores...Quote:

All right, I hate to be a spoilsport, but I have a problem with this. A serious problem.
The queue for big games is pretty long. Very long as a matter of fact. The games are also going slower than they used to. That's fine, if the host and the players are having a good time. But there's a lot of us on the queue who are patiently waiting to host their games.
I've waited five months to do Mafia VII. Did I want a shorter wait than that? Absolutely. If there was no queue I'd probably have done two or three games in that span. But the queue was there, it said I had to wait, and I obeyed it.
But now, when Mafia VII finishes I'm going to put myself on there for Mafia VIII. And I'm going to have to wait a long time to do it, probably. Fine. But the one thing I have a problem with is that Ichigo is going to host two games before me. Meaning he gets to do "St. Thomas's Hospital" and that Tale of Two Cities thing before I, and anyone who comes after me, get to host one. And I just don't think that's right.
People shouldn't have to wait to host any longer than they have to. No offense to Ichigo as I think both games will be good, but someone's name should only be on the queue once at all times. Otherwise this system is unfair and liable to be abused (see Sasaki's post).
I agree.
It also may be a good idea to have two seperate queues. One for normal games, and one for mods who have hosted "epic" games in the past. That way we always have at least one probably epic game. I mean, no offense, but for whatever reason GH's games are always loads of fun and you saw how many people were looking forward to capo. Most of the last few big games didn't have that kind of draw.
Fair point GH. Guess I was a bit too fast without thinking. Sorry.
And sorry Ichigo, but you will have to wait until St Thomas Hospital is over before you can be put on the queue with Two Cities.
Sorry for this misunderstanding. My bad.
I'm not so sure.Quote:

For example, pevers' fantasy mafia and Stig's Heineken mafia weren't high in postcount, but there was a lot of activity behind the scenes, both on mafia as on town side.
Another reflection: if we have always one 'epic' game going on next to one or two 'normal' big games, the activity in the 'normal' games will probably drop. Besides, the number of "epic" hosters is limited and they might not want to host a big mafia every month or so. Midgard or Capo certainly qualify as epic, but I think the amount of work for the host is epic as well.
Just my :2cents:
But I'm willing to give it a try if there is enough support from our regular mafia players/hosts.
That's why I plan on making it larger. The games at TWC seem really unbalanced.Quote:

With the dead can't talk rule, the known expert townies were predictably killed off early on. Unless this fundamental rule is changed, I don't see myself, sapi or Simetrical lasting beyond the first 3 rounds in any future games as town, assuming 1 kill per night (in the last one, sapi and Simetrical bought it on night 1 while I followed on night 2).Quote:

If we have them all the time it's like pigging out on (insert your favorite food that's really bad for you here) and first it's all you want (therefore screwing over those hosters doing big, but not epic games) but eventually you get tired of it (therefore screwing over everyone else).
If we keep it as an occasional treat everyone wins.
True. And I agree with having one game on a queue per host. Otherwise GH could have put himself down for Mafia ad infinitum.
Just posting to confirm I'm here - I've had flu recently so have not really felt upto posting. Please give me a few, about twenty-four, hours to prepare my game. Sorry for any inconvenience.
My small game is finished. It's either up to Garci to finish his, or GK can start his.
GK turn!
Alrighty! Finally get a chance to host my own game. I'll have it up in a few hours or so, hopefully.
Queue has been updated.

Inactive? Thats insulting. I can only get on this idiot box during the weekends, so remove my small and mini mafias. However, leave the large one on the list.
If you only have access to the internet on the week-ends, you shouldn't host a mafia game...Quote:
