So whose running the next game again?
lom
I hope recent troubles show people that it takes more than coming up with a setup and a theme to be a mafia moderator. It's a lot of hard work and you cannot get lazy about it. For those on the list please keep in mind the amount of work it takes to prep for and run a game and carefully consider if you think you are up for it.
Tips:
Change all the passwords to something that cannot be guessed.
Don't take a break from the forums when it is your turn to mod. If you think you might be taking a break in the future then please take your name off the list. Running a game requires you to be online at least a couple times a day, and a lot more during the initial setup period.
Be prepared to be second guessed by your fellow members along the way.
Be prepared for me to be lazy about requests for name changes, forums, etc.
If you can't handle these things then maybe you are better off as a player and not a game master.
Also be prepared to set up offsite forums if Del wants to play the game. :p
Actually I prefer that you do that anyway since setting up hidden forums here can get messy, especially if there are CK's playing.
Don't worry, the next two games will be professionally done. :)
We already have the forums set up, the set up itself, the avatars, the names, etc.
Btw, why was "vote for AK" back in my sig?
Jessweeee and Death by Moogles are the next to host a game. Please send any admin requests you might have to me well in advance of your planned start time.
AK, too :p
3 hosts? Who will be left to play this game?
I'll just sign up 3 times to make up for the lack of players then. It's alright, I think I can muster up a few split personalities just for the game.
One less player than you previously thought!
I will be an EPIC host! >:[
Everybody always forgets me. T__T
People won't forget you after Mafia XII :>D!
^__^
*glomps Jessweeee♪-chan*
Hey jessweeee, every ten seconds Im gonna annoy you to start up and fix up the game, and I hope sir lancelot does the same...
The date is set, we're just waiting for it to come n.n
Kinda impossible when we'll start at the time we say, isn't it?
Unless you want to bother doing that in the five minutes we'll send out the pre-made role PM's.
How cute, you guys think running a game during the busy holiday season is going to go according to plan.
The only delays would come from either player-variables or privileges-variables.
So, more or less, it wouldn't be our fault now, would it?
I thought everything that goes wrong is the hosts' fault. :p
No. We are determined to make sure that if anything goes wrong, we can rightfully blame the players! Also the game should be done before Christmas, so that's one holiday season-related problem out of the way.
That too will make it worse. If I was going to play, I'd probably miss a day because of Christmas shopping.
If you need to do christmas shopping after the 17th, you are already too late imo. :p
Always finish your shopping before Thanksgiving!
I don't think I've ever been finished christmas shopping by the 17th.
...just how many people are you shopping for that you'd miss an entire day phase anyway o_o
Oh, don't mind boko and I, we're not even playing. We're just posting out of old habit.
You guys aren't playing?
You play in DD's production, but not mine?
Ghey.
They do other things..

Well, figure 8 hours sleeping, 20 minutes going to mall, 5 hours at mall, 1 and a half hours finding, eating somewhere, 20 minutes going home, some video games somewhere in there, yeah I wouldn't bother playing that day ;D
None of us are going to be available to host the next game, so the next set of hosts can take over. Gewd luk.
That's Goldenboko and Neocracker. Pm me with your demands when ready, but give me plenty of time before you plan to start. Or you could try a different admin for possibly speedier results. I suggest kishi. He loves fourm games.
I don't think neocracker is active anymore o.o
Eeks looks like I'm up in the next one. I may need a new partner since WhatVVB is fairly inactive anymore and didn't prove to be very reliable in 2 games thus far.
Goldenboko, you are partnered with Bahamut2000X now. Complaits to DD's visitor messages! Happy hosting!
Fyi the game isn't going to start for a long while (as in mid-February at the earliest). We need to pace these to keep it from getting stale. We're just putting the thought out there.
Me and GoBo? Gasp! But we're like mortal enemies in Mafia! How will this dynamic duo unfold!?
Woah, why didn't anyone PM me with these events? xD
It would ruin the surprise party...errr...SURPRISE!!!
:happybday
We seem to have a bit of a Dilemma, I talked to NeoCracker yesterday for the first time in a while, and he was all like "wtf I was replaced?" If he sticks around we have a issue xD
Well work it all out for yourselves, you have time.
Okay, so Crackah can't host with me. This means I can start planning, also means I need to start over in some/most areas of what I had planned =D
So assuming B2KX is active, this is all sorted out.
What'cha talking 'bout foo'. I always be active.
Though I haven't been around nearly as much this month due to just bad crap going down and classes. Though I should be a bit more free after changing my hellish work schedule finally.
So uh, is Mafia dead now or are we giving it a few more rounds?
EDIT: I'll make a mini one in the (that won't fail) if some people want a quick no-hassle game.
Mafia is not dead. Some believed it needed a small break.
It's dead to me.
I think the events of the last game showed that I really cba anymore.
There's supposed to be a 2 month break between games, and it's been past that now, so whoever is the next host can start preparing whenever.
Well, since it still hasn't started, I TECHNICALLY can host with you, but I've I lost motivation. :p
If there is enough interest I'll host it. :p
I think it's dead, guys :(
I'd host/play. =D
I think there should be a last mafia with accounts from all the previous games. One to finish it, kinda like a tribute game.
Mafia All-Stars?
But with the most memorable accounts/players.
Didn't we already have that theme?
I think I feel my desire to play mafia slowly returning...SLOWLY.
I would play, but I don't think it's overly wise with the way the server is going.
On that note, let's take it to OMGMG. The server never crashes there :monster:
The mafia era is probably over, but smaller games can still be had.
:(
Well seeing as mafia is sort of back I guess we should re-examine this. The old list can be stricken from the record imho. I think hosts should only be allowed one game rather than two as before, and I also think the timing between big games should be looked at. Maybe have one every 3 months as opposed to the monthly game, as it did get old by the end of it.
Of course, mini-mafia is fine to host whenever you want. I plan on finally doing my Lost mini-mafia around February 2, 2010 when the new season starts.
I still want to do my mindsmurf setup some day. It will be insane.
imo the topic of restarting the search for hosts deserves a new thread, instead of the 9th page of an old one.
If you have 267 posts per page, it's on page #1. :smug:
Make a new thread if you want to, tho'.
I'm supervising. :)
Also I guess I'll close this one up.
