Gankin' Tai's post.

Quote from: Taishyr

Okay. We need to do this a bit more orderly-like, I think?

A discussion for how many games we want running at a time is probably a good idea, but we should set this up so we know when people will be setting all this up.

Two categories of games: Large and Small. Large... will be 15 and up, small 14 and down. For simplicity's sake, primarily; 14 tends to be a more limited/quirk-based game, like what Cap'n K did. 15 and up allows for more... well, vastness.

I will edit this post with the updated list when I have time in general, so don't pester me too much!

Post with Large/small, desired number of people, and theme if it's been decided on. Placing an H) next to games planned that are on hold.

Signups are hereby unofficially closed for the time being? Consider how long it's going to be, and wait till the queue dies down a lot, to maybe 3-5 games, before signing up.

Have your game ready to go when your turn comes up, and start it promptly. Start signups well in advance, and start your game as soon as it's reasonable. I'd say reaching an endgame of ~5 or less people is a good time to start another; even if there is overlap, it's not horribly stressful to play day 1 in a second game.

Don't wait for the previous game to fully end and then say "Whoops, I'm not ready, this will start in another week." If you're not going to be set up and ready to go when it's your turn, I strongly advise letting the next ready person in line queuejump you.

The following list is updated through Reply #53:

Large Games:
1) Taishyr: 20 people max, Ayreon Mafia
2) Alex: 20-25 max, theme TBA
3) QuietRain: 20 people max, PokeMafia
4) Cmdr_King: 25 people max, Shadow Hearts Mafia
5) miasmacloud, ~21 people max, Star Ocean 3 Mafia
6) Gatewalker, ~20 people max, Mega Man Mafia
7) Carthrat, 17-21 people, Metal Gear Mafia
8) El Cid: 21 people, Guilty Gear Mafia
9) Excal, Nintenmafia
10) Bobbin Cranbud, Xenogears, 25-35 players (good luck!)
11) CPU, Fatal Frame, 16-20 players
12) OblivionKnight, 30 people max, Persona Mafia

Small Games:
1) Tonfa: 7 people, Phantom Brave Mafia
2) EvilTom: 11 players, Death Note
3) El Cid: 12 players, classical composer Mafia
4) Excal, Ultimate Mafia of Ultimate Destiny
5) Rat: Post Restriction Mafia

I'd like to run a small (10-12 people) unthemed game. Well...sort of unthemed. No power roles at all, just town and scum.

Captain K. · « **Reply #2 on:** December 19, 2007, 05:39:07 AM »

I'll run my Wolverine mafia in chat Thursday night (the 20th). Just 5 people needed, preferably those who know a bit about Wolverine (so you get the jokes). Game will be short and deadly, just like Wolverine!

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #3 on:** December 19, 2007, 09:58:10 PM »

Quite the list. Anyway, yeah, actually going to start working on it. Shadow Hearts mafia, tentatively 25 people, might change between now and then as the balance will be... unique.

Tonfa · « **Reply #4 on:** December 30, 2007, 01:47:53 AM »

Back from holidays, so I'd like my game to be moved into the active list and such.

mia~ · « **Reply #5 on:** January 01, 2008, 12:18:28 AM »

Move me off hold please. <3
Players = ~21

Shale · « **Reply #6 on:** January 01, 2008, 08:00:18 PM »

Addendum to my game: It'll be a bit smaller - 6-10 people - and still no powers, but Clue themed.

EvilTom · « **Reply #7 on:** January 02, 2008, 03:26:41 PM »

I'd like to add in a small, 11 player Death Note game.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #8 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:47:37 PM »

Adjusting my game's description slightly: I'm pumping it back up to 25 max.

VySaika · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2008, 01:38:29 AM »

I'm ready to run my megamafia whenever we want another game going, so take me off the hold list.

Carthrat · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2008, 10:43:37 AM »

I'll get on board for a 17-21 METAL GEAR mafia game.

Sierra · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2008, 04:14:32 PM »

Well, I may as well toss what other ideas I have on the list now, since it'll clearly be a while before it gets to be my turn again anyway.

Next thing I want to do is a small game. Classical composer Mafia. Yes, of course I'm serious. Twelve players max, minimal power roles. And, want to run a large (21 people max) Guilty Gear-themed game sometime thereafter.

Carthrat · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2008, 11:46:55 PM »

Or.. or... we could LET OUR POWERS COMBINE and run Metal Gear vs. Guilty Gear Mafia?!?!?!11one11

Sierra · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2008, 11:58:44 PM »

Aw, I thought you were going to say Metal Guilty Gear mafia at first. I was close!

Strago · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2008, 05:02:26 AM »

Oh, go ahead and take my game off of the list. There's obviously many more potential games than we have players for in the near future, and people who are more excited/know more about game balance should go instead of me.

Excal · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2008, 09:11:46 AM »

It might also be a good rule of thumb, with a list this size, that people not be able to have their name on either list more than once at any given moment. ie. have one short game in the pipe, and one long game in the pipe.

That said, I'd like to stick in two games, one big, and one small.

The Big One will be Nintenmafia, using random characters that have appeared on Nintendo consoles.

The small one will be the Ultimate Mafia of Ultimate Destiny. And it will feature wacky power setups and a small cast for what should be a quick game.

Sadness, the world needs BG2 mafia.

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2008, 11:26:44 PM »

I might eventually want to run a RPG-Villian themed game, ideally with 20+ people.

Bobbin Cranbud · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2008, 11:42:22 PM »

With this many games in the queue, my schedule should open up at least enough for me to RUN a Mafia game, if not PLAY one.

So, I'd like to get on the list with:

Xenogears Mafia, 25-35 players.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2008, 11:47:59 PM »

AHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

IhatethisCPU · « **Reply #20 on:** January 18, 2008, 07:33:53 PM »

Hnngh. This is probably a bad idea on my part, but...

Would you put me down for:
Fatal Frame Mafia, 16-20 players?

Carthrat · « **Reply #21 on:** January 20, 2008, 05:43:08 AM »

Hey, shouldn't someone update that list? Just sayin'.

Ranmilia · « **Reply #22 on:** January 20, 2008, 05:56:37 AM »

Okay, okay. I've been wondering what to do with this for a while.

We have *too many people signing up to run games*, for the pace at which we're actually playing them. If we want to actually get through all of these...

Signups are hereby unofficially closed for the time being? Consider how long it's going to be, and wait till the queue dies down a lot, to maybe 3-5 games, before signing up.

Have your game ready to go when your turn comes up, and start it promptly. Start signups well in advance, and start your game as soon as it's reasonable. I'd say reaching an endgame of ~5 or less people is a good time to start another; even if there is overlap, it's not horribly stressful to play day 1 in a second game.

Don't wait for the previous game to fully end and then say "Whoops, I'm not ready, this will start in another week." If you're not going to be set up and ready to go when it's your turn, I strongly advise letting the next ready person in line queuejump you.

Going to add this to the OP as well.

EvilTom · « **Reply #23 on:** January 20, 2008, 06:17:00 AM »

Hear hear.

Also, the restriction on "one game per category" should be enforced... though I don't think that's currently in issue. That was Excal's idea, to give credit.

At the moment we have 12 large, 8 small. That's silly.
The list of large shouldn't be longer than the small list.

We should cap the Large list down to about 6 or 7, and the small one to 8-ish. The latter isn't an issue at the moment. As for the former, once the list reaches 6 games remaining, we can think about re-opening it.

If your game isn't ready to go and the one before you has started, either get it ready or post as much to let the next person in line know. Otherwise... we could get into a situation where the whole list is unprepared.

Both my games are about ready to go >.>
I might adjust my Death Note game to about 15 people though. Plenty of time before that starts though, so may depend on interest.

EvilTom · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2008, 06:17:41 AM »

Oh and the list is wrong. I'm not running Fat Frame, IhatethisCPU is.
