It will start when one of the other two (Faeries or Blarzigord) finish. But that poses my question...do we want a week break before I start A Song of Ice and Fire or should we start signups immediately following the finals of one of those?

I'm happy either way :)

Also, some fun stuff will be coming up in Blarzimafia everyone :)

I think a one week break would be nice! It's fun playing mafia, but playing one right after another might be exhausting and drive away some of the excitement of the games.

and i will love to see that day

Well, you could also make the sign up period the week break?

So only two run at once? o: Must suck if you just miss sign-ups or if you're dead on night one, nothing to do for weeks and weeks.

Yeah, but anymore can be less interesting to play because players have to divert their attention between games. Two is definitely enough in my opinion, and we only have three right now because SMS3 was already going when The Underground was made.

I don't understand why we have such a narrow limit. I get that some people might find it overwhelming to juggle, but you don't have to join every mafia game if you struggle or "get my roles confused between sessions". Plus, like what Sonata said, people who miss the window of time will have to wait until either of the current games finish (and that could take up at least a month, ASSUMING THE GM MAKES PUNCTUAL PHASE CHANGES *glares at a certain someone*). I can see many people, especially non-Mafia regulars get turn off from participation. Idk, just my two cents. But I feel that the "omg multiple mafia games are stressful and overwhelming" argument is pretty selfish. I like the idea of a queue though (as it helps people to plan which mafia games they intend to join) but two at a time can be a pretty long waiting time for others. #IJS

Aye, like many have said before me, two is a little restrictive. And no one forces you to join all the games. Sign-ups can be made generally a little longer to allow for others to come in, and for people to decide if they want to juggle or not, based on the proceedings of other games. I think having three/four on the go would be much fairer to those who die early/miss sign ups.

I reckon it could also look like this:
{DAY} Mafia #1 day 10
{Day} Mafia #2 night 7
{Night} Mafia #3 night 4
{Day} Mafia #4 night 0
That way they are spread out, so hopefully it would attract more people who would want to play but have missed one period of sign-ups. That way, it would also give a clear definition of where you stand if you want to play multiple games too.

Just an idea ^^

I refuse.

Also, I love how it's only been like a month and a half and we already have set "mafia regulars." Haha

There were set mafia regulars the moment this place opened hahah.

Well, if you all really think two is too low we can always bump it or rather keep it at three. We technically have that number now so?

Yeah, judge based on how these three are doing imo. I think we're spread fairly thin, but maybe it's more a matter of people not joining every single game - similar to RPt. You wouldn't join fifty RPs.

I must agree I'd like to see the cap bigger, perhaps 3 or 4.

Also idk how many of you are aware but I'm gonna try and get a really small vanilla Mafia game pushed asap. For beginners especially. For some people (especially myself when I started) the plethora of roles is really confusing so I'll probably try for a 10 size cast, 8/2 or 7/3 split Mafia game to attract more attention, and I'll probably try and see if I can run one every so often. Of course this has to go ahead first but the general feeling I was getting for this idea was a warm one
I definitely think this is a great idea, but dooooo restrict it to beginners or new players! That'll help our new friends get acquainted with the mechanics and also keep us from joining and being too gnarly.

Oooh that sounds like a great idea to give beginners a feel for how the game works!

haha. Well, right now things seems slow because there are so many people taking their finals for school. Let's see how much it picks up after exams are over before deciding whether to bump up the cap or not.

But.... ahhh I just realized that I might not be able to play in Fire And Ice because of a vacation I'll be going on. I'll have to see if we'll have any internet connection at all but hnnnnng. Sad face.

dw Klip Klip it would definitely be for the new guys!
I would say arrange it so that one or two veterans join, and so you have people gently pushing the newbies into the flow of the game. These veterans need to really get into it though, but not so that they give the new people a hard time. That's what I think anyway. Of course, just new people would work too, but there'd be a lot of people who aren't too sure what's going on. One or two people to show them the ropes, similar to a training course if you will, would be a lot more effective I think.

*Tosses two cents*

YES, Finally have a stable internet connection! CALLS FOR A CELEBR8ION!!!!!!!!

Okay, an event for S3 will be up soon, and for those supporters who wish to join the game, VM me. The activity in the game is seriously needed haha x3

Oh and I think there should be like 2 to 3 veterans in the Beginner's game wherein they can post what they know, but arent allowed to vote. That way, all of the newbies get the attention they need, and have all the confusion in the normal games out.
