Capo de Tutti Capi - II: SIGN UPS

[x-dANGEr]

Hihi! I'm "so" in, as long as a newbie like me will have a chance of "understanding" the game..!

[Myrddraal]

OK, I succumb... *takes a deep breath*

In.

PS, nice to see WoT fans out there

[PershsNhpios]

I have read the rules, and the entire thread of Mafia VI - by god I want to start!
When do you plan to begin sah?

Is there a certain date or do you plan to wait until you have your century to begin with?

I will do everything I can to advertise - starting now!

I do not have great confidence in one hundred players participating - I have read Capo de Tutti Capi, and it seems that many players were simply inactive, "Cannon Fodder", for the most part.
A good 20 of the players were, so how many of these will exist in a game of 100? Especially if this game is delayed for any length.

It is true, I have announced the arrival of the Devil himself, but I hope we do not place so many people upon this ship that it will sink under pressure..

[GeneralHankerchief]

All right, fine, I'm in.

One last time.

[seireikhaan]

All right, fine, I'm in.

No more mafia for you, GH? I wanted you in my game...

[Andres]

All right, fine, I'm in.

Good to see you back in the Gameroom, good sir

[Cowhead418]

I might be a little rusty, but I'm in. This sounds epic.

I think that in general, having more players reduces the impact that the inactive ones have, since even if 30 or so out of 100 are inactive, you still have 70 active players. If Seamus implements anything like standard WoG rules, the inactive ones should be pared down to manageable numbers.

The only drawback in having really large numbers of players is that it makes it very hard on those who would like to participate on a casual level. Every time they check the thread, there are dozens of new posts to read, and it becomes overwhelming. However, I think the benefits of large numbers still outweigh the drawbacks.

Welcome back.

[Warmaster Horus]

And it gives the town more time to find the mafia. More "cannon fodder", if you will.

Quick edit: In retrospect, this makes it harder for the mafia, of course.

Well you can usually skip a lot of them.

I had well over 50 last time through. With a little organization, things were processed in a reasonably timely fashion. The key is systemization -- and I have been granted a better PM ability by the powers-that-are in order to facilitate this even more effectively this time.

Inactives were weeded out fairly quickly and either requested removal after a PM prompt by me or met with an unfortunate "accident." I even wogged one bloke by having him switched into the line of fire in place of one player who had been successfully protected -- I rather liked that one.

I have lengthened the first few phases in response to many of the comments last time through. Apparently it is the first few phases -- as groups begin to form and make plans etc. -- that take the greatest "off-screen" time. With the slightly longer opening phases, this should come off a notch smoother even with more numbers at play.

If you find the problem of too many posts to read, simply set Ichigo to ignore. 40% of the thread is gone!

Actually you'll have to put me, Ichigo, and TS on ignore to get rid of even 20% of the posts if the last game predicts this one...

You're a moderator. You cannot be put on the ignore list.

Welcome back to the Gameroom Sasaki

Sweet!

I'm in btw.

[Caius]

Remember Rule #1: Sasaki is guilty as the Don is.

[Charge]

Really. What is the possibility he'll get not the Don/serial killer role?

[Csargo]

Sweet!

I'm in btw.

Don't forget to give me credit for you being here.

[The Stranger]

hmm... what exactly do you mean by that?...

[Charge]

As you know from perusing the rules, I'm putting together a "points" system for evaluating player success. Since this is definitely a game that gets better with more playing, I'll sweeten the deal by providing a few discretion points to good recruiters. 1 point for 1 recruit, 3 for 2 and 5 points for three recruits. Have your recruit PM me saying it was you who prompted them.

See?

[The Stranger]

yeah... i know that...

[Andres]

Don't forget to give me credit for you being here.

Ah, he made the same proposition to you as he did to me? Did he give any details about the "little favor"?

Sneaky Sasaki

[The Stranger]

yeah and to me as well... knew it... because when i asked him to how many people he asked it... he didnt reply... so no deal... Seamus, I hope you will not fall for it...

[Zorg]

In.

[pevergreen]

Same. I was holding out until the start of the game. I think we can name Sasaki as round 1 lynch.
