Mafia Hosting Queue

[Silver Rusher]

As you may imagine, too many mafia games means little interest in each one. Some games I have seen have had voting periods last for more than a few days. Therefore (and for the sanity of the Gameroom moderator), we will have certain limits on the number of games going on at the same time: max. 1 huge game, max. 2 large games, max. 1 small game and max. 1 mini. Huge games are seldom. When a Huge Game enters the sign up phase, there will only be one large game allowed for the duration of the Huge game. Here is what the queue for games that have not yet started should look like at the moment. The ongoing games are listed above (Hosting slot: "name of the game"):

Huge Games - 50 Players and Above
Hosting Slot: Seamus Fermanagh - Capo De Tutti Capi II - Sign-up Phase


Large Games - 13 Players and Above

2. kamikhaan - "Netherworld Mafia"

4. GeneralHankerchief - "Mafia VIII"
5. Beefy187 - "Preschool mafia"
6. Motep - "The Death of Caliem"
7. Warmaster Horus - "Nosferatu"

I'll throw myself in at the back:

Orb's Mafia Variant: Citadel of Alamut

[Ignoramus]

At this rate, we'll have enough mafia to last us a lifetime.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'm unsure whether the slowness of my game was due to the small numbers (23 to start), lack of deadline or because of the number of other games running.

I'm not going to make 2 games max a rule, it seems like something we agree on so a consensus is all that's needed...after all no one wants to host a game that doesn't take off.

You can remove me from the #3 spot Silver, I'm not going to host a game until after you and Orb.

Is that a bad thing?

[Kommodus]

I'm unsure whether the slowness of my game was due to the small numbers (23 to start), lack of deadline or because of the number of other games running.

Sasaki, I think those two reasons are both accurate. The lack of a deadline has two effects: because there's no deadline in getting PM's sent in, and because there are so many roles, it necessarily takes longer for all the moves to be made. In addition, because there's no deadline in voting, and because a majority is needed to lynch, voting can go on for a long time before any decisions are made. The idea of giving everyone an interesting role was a noble one, but it needed stricter controls to make it work.

By my count there are two games currently going on: Sasaki's current game, and GH's new Mafia IV game. (If you count Mini-Mafia there are three.) Therefore I'm not going to start my game until one of them ends, as I agree with the guideline proposed here.

[Silver Rusher]

I'm glad to see you will be hosting a game then, Kommodus.

My two mafia games are almost over (5 people left in each). I bet they'll be over by the time your signups are complete.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

:p

Actually this is fairly interesting. The Mafia have won the last 4 games straight. I wonder how General Hankerchiefs town will fair.

[Ignoramus]

We ought to have a statistics board of all the mafia games, showing how many times the mafia have won, and how many times the villagers have won.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Eh, wasn't the whole point of the gameroom to have more than 2 mafia games at once?

I recognize the fact that too many games dilutes participation, but maybe you could ask people not to sign up if they're previously engaged in other games.

CR

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'm considering starting a small 12 person game in addition to the two big games. But if people don't want to host more than 2 big games at once than an organizational queue makes sense.

I just have to figure out how to get the smaller format to work.

[Kommodus]

Yes, I see that they have in fact ended, making GH's Mafia IV the only current game. Very well, I'll begin mine within a couple of days.

[Ignoramus]

I am thinking of starting a mafia game, so put me down in 6th spot if that's alright.

[Csargo]

So are we going to have two mafia games going at once?

[Silver Rusher]

The Godfather: Part 2 coming soon. I will most likely start it a while into Komm's game so that it has lots of interest in the first few rounds. Orb, may I politely ask that you do the same with regards to mine?

[Orb]

Yep.

I'm off in Naples for 10 days soon, anyway, so if I don't appear to be doing anything, please lynch me.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Put me in line for Mafia V.

[Csargo]

Who's next?

Orb is out of town

[Sasaki Kojiro]

If Orb isn't here I'll start mine.

[Csargo]

If Orb isn't here I'll start mine.

Woot Woot let's get this party started.

I guess we'll just bump Orb down one.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Woot Woot let's get this party started.

I still lack a catchy title.

[Csargo]

I still lack a catchy title.

Maybe I can help you out. If you don't mind

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Maybe I can help you out. If you don't mind

I'm thinking of calling it: "Mafia game in which a certain person whose name begins with a C and ends with an R is guilty and should be lynched" but it's a bit long...

[Csargo]

What not me. I would never do such a thing.

How about:"Death to the Csar" Almost sure to be a mafioso vote for him

[Silver Rusher]

If Orb isn't here I'll start mine.

Aww... you couldn't wait till Komm's is finished before actually starting (not including sign-ups), could you? I don't want my game to be plagued once more by underactivity.

[Csargo]

He could always hold off starting it til your game progresses a little more.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Aww... you couldn't wait till Komm's is finished before actually starting (not including sign-ups), could you? I don't want my game to be plagued once more by underactivity.

Kommodus's will be finished as soon as the voting period ends, Dr. Silver. And mine will be in signups for some time. Your game should have a couple days on it by the time mine starts. And I'll make sure I post a lot

[Csargo]

Me too.

Vote: Sasaki

[Csargo]

I think I'll try hosting one of these. Put me up on the big board :D
