Sign up here for Game 17! Also, if your name is on the list below, indicate whether or not you'd be willing to host!

Have not hosted:
chiefsonny
CtR Black
Black Yoshi
Redack
Jo Nathan

Hosted once:
hezekiah
Roxas
White Thunder
Count Dooku
Helius
Feral
Xhin

Hosted twice:
MajorasMask9

I will be the backup host, as usual, although I'm pretty sure there was at least one person interested in hosting...

Also, if a global mod or admin could update the Player Scores document, that would be great! And add 1 point to Dooku for doing a good job hosting. ^_^

After 16 games, when did this become a problem? And what is the problem. Even in the Adventure Game where mods can not see IP's everyone can see everyones user name i.e. "Who's who"

If you don't know who's who's how do you vote.

"I vote for what's his name #2"

the problem is that good players die early, solely based on their actions from previous games, basically discouraging players from giving much insight. majora's mask and redack are given to die pretty early on no matter what they do, unless they are mafia, and then that makes them look sketchy just because they haven't died.

if we have pseudo name then votes will only be based on what goes on in that particular game. you can be Jon Doe for the next game, idc

I think what Vandy is saying is that we are generated names or something... a Halloween disguise of sort.

Edit
Feral

I understand what Vandy and others are saying. Complaining about people going after Xhin, put a big target on my back this last game.

And while I agree with the suggestion, I have my doubts that it will work long term. The way people talk to each other out of game, it won't be long, maybe 2-3 rounds into the game that some players will know who other players are.

If you had just given me the names instead of a vague statement like the one you made then I wouldn't have had to go back and re-read the damn list.

Since you and Hindenburg were not on the original list because you had never played before was the reason I missed your names the first time I checked the list.

I'm not exactly sure if Chief is playing, since I haven't seen a post from him saying he would play, but since he's played in every single game thus far I'll safely assume he's playing now.

Additionally, I'm not sure I'd want hidden names right away. For starters, I don't think it would help much, because the good players that it would protect are good players because of how they take lead and actively participate in discussions. By nature, unless people went out of their way to protect their anonymity, they'll still be just as active and taking lead just as much, and it would most likely be obvious who's who after a day or two.

Using alt names would also have a negative effect in regard to private communications. For example, suppose the entirety of Faded Enigma signed up; it would be pretty likely that they'd all know each other's names after talking in chat for a bit. Same with other people who talk with each other off-site on a regular basis. Granted, there could be some lying involved there, but it would close the doors to people who might not normally communicate on a regular basis, because gtx0 notifications would have to go to the person's real name. I know we went into a huge discussion way back around Game 4 or 5 about private messaging, but I still think it's useful to keep around, and doesn't hurt the game or make it unfair--if anything, giving users the option to privately message anyone else evens the playing field.

I'm open to the idea for the novelty of it, but I don't view it as a priority.

MajorasMask9

being lynched for being a leading role is perfectly fine. but what if you want to lay low in a game and try a different strategy, see how things play out? you can't do that. you don't have a choice because you know you're going to die within the first three rounds or so. and if you're mafia you may want to use a different strategy than what you would use as a townie. with the mask you would have that opportunity

with a mask system, you could have a unique identity/playing style for each game, depending on the role you were assigned

If you need 20 points to host, how had Trever Leingod hosted twice prior to last game before he had 20 points?

There were a couple of Star Wars-themed games last summer to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Jedi-Sith forum which he hosted since he's a mod in that forum and back then, if I'm not mistaken, he was the only mod in that forum.

April 18, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

And Apollo, I've been thinking about that for the longest time, but I have stuff coming up at my college that demands my attention at the moment, such as my senior percussion recital. I'll probably try to host sometime in the summer.

April 18, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

He hosted the 2 special Star Wars Game Mafia Games that were held back to back.

Star Wars Empire
Star Wars Republic

Yeano agreed to this because the idea was that the JS forum people would stay and play regular Mafia Games after the Star Wars Game.

Don't think that ever happened. We picked up a couple but that was about it.

Well I suppose Roxas is higher up on the hosting priorities, I'll have to wait another game or so to host. Roxas, let me know if you'd like to test out my new idea.

Trever Leingod

Redack has dibs before Roxas. If he declines, Roxas will be able to take the hosting spot.

April 19, 2013
Edit
Feral

We should make a rule if there isn't one already where a host cannot host two games in a row, or s/he has to lay out for a certain number of games before s/he can host again. Being Executive Host, White Lancer would be, of course, exempt from this clause.

April 19, 2013

@Feral: Has Redack even signed up for this game?

Black Yoshi

Feel free to IM me about it, Trev. {:P}

`Roxas`

Redack has declined both hosting and playing. Roxas has the option to host this game or pass to Trever.(Though I suppose they could potentially co-host if they wanted...)

Looks like registration has dried up. Once you two decide what you are doing, we can get started.

I think this is a good rule and I'm inclined to adopt it.

And yep, it's Roxas' game to host or pass on as he wishes. :)

First of all I like Black Yoshi new rule suggestion.

@`Roxas` Look forward to you hosting again.

Also, to try something that was brought up a couple weeks ago in the Mod Forum by Trever


I'm sure you will do this, but I will bring it up anyway. Take into account all the comments made in that thread in the mod forum and don't end up making the game overpowering for one side or the other.

I wish we had taken LLight suggestion about posting Trever's game idea's here in the Mafia Forum so people could comment on them before they were used.

Good luck with your hosting.
