Your games have been great fun Mahaloth. I only wish I had been around for HOH1.
I appreciate this and all the other bits of advice. I do know this stuff in broad strokes. What I would be interested in hearing/reading is about the actual thought process of balancing this particular game, since I would have much more context about how the game actually played out.
Count me /in I can play, host or cohost as needs must.

Pleonast, I think I might be getting Conspiracy mixed up with Not-So-Simpletown. Which one was it that had nothing but Masons, Cabalists, Cultists, and Werewolves, in approximately equal numbers of each?
Judging my the unread mail that also seems to be about the same time I last logged in here.
oh why not.
The more I think about a Mafia game with 35+ players in one thread, the more I’d rather due it over on Giraffe.
Seriously, when did all the newbies get so soft?
It’s gonna be fine.
Edit: shoot, I bet lots of you actually don’t know me. That was a joke. If we want to go to Giraffe that’s cool. But honestly there are upsides to a big game like this being single thread. It’s really not that bad.
Last time I tried to do a game on a different board (Idle, I think), I ended up ghosting because I just forgot to check. SDMB is part of my daily rotation.
Set a subscription for the thread(s), wherever it winds up being played. Then check your email routinely.
Also keep records of the post number of each Dawn, each Dusk and any game mod rulings or other announcements.
If I’m co-modding I’ll track those posts and link them at the start of new Days. Easy Peasy.
So seriously, MHaye, Story, you want to do this? Three headed mod classic game?
For the record, Mafia 2 - the first game I ever played - was on this board and we had (IRRC) 38 players at the start. It was also a downright AWESOME game.
I am reluctant to move to Giraffe if I’m going to be hosting or co-hosting. My employer has decided that the Straight Dope is fine and dandy but for some reason GiraffeBoards must be blocked with a ferocious intensity, so I’d be unable to even access the game except on weekends and late at night.
ETA: NAF and Mahaloth, I’ll drop you both a PM to talk about starting a setup. When would we like to kick off?

Do we absolutely have to keep the game to one thread anymore? If I recall correctly, the “problem” with multi-thread games was that they would clutter up the Game Room forum, where most of the people reading really had no interest in the game and didn’t want to have to scroll past a bunch of threads. But now that we’re relegated to ‘Thread Games’, perhaps the situation is different? There is a lot more activity here (I count 12 threads in this forum that have been updated in the last hour), so it’s likely that ‘previous day’ threads would sink away quickly, so that nobody who wasn’t interested would have to deal with them. For those of us playing, it would just be a matter of bookmarking each thread as it gets created, so we have them available for easy reference.
If only there was someone involved with this game, who also had close ties with the folks who run this forum…
Now it is.
/in at #45.
tip of the hat
Hello Darkness, my old friend…
We should conspire again someday. It’s been far too long.
I kinda have a minor sort of involvement with someone who may be relevant… who defers to Idle Thoughts but who has no personal objection to it.
:mad:
I’m free now to help. I’m willing to co-mod/run as well if you need help. Typically, I use google sheets to track Night Actions, Live/Dead, etc.
I can also setup quicktopics for us to discuss, etc.
I have most of this weekend to do planning and then some of the end of next week. I am thinking we should shoot to start the game around the first week of January just so we don’t run into Christmas? Or would people want to start before the holidays?
I think we can pull together something pretty fast.
I vote for new calendar year. The first couple Days are going to be insane,best to not have holidays in the way.
