Or run an experimental mini mafia that takes like 10-15 players and just plays with all brand new roles plus a survey at the end - kind of like a test game where you can test new ideas and get an idea for how to better balance them
i've always liked the idea of having regular sandbox games like that but there probably isn't enough activity for it

I would join that if its opened at the right time :D

I request that I can host a monthly mini survey-game the purpose of which is to test new role ideas/setup ideas. Because it is a non-serious game in which winning/losing is not the real goal, I don't think it should interfere with stuff too much.
That way we can look at all our crazy ideas in the context of an actual game and see how it works. I'd be ok with hosting it off-site or something if mods are worried it would be clutter or get in the way of signups for real games.

No balance whining allowed, they're intentional bastard mod games

Title: The Game [N]
Put me in for the next available slot if you can. Would start after TL Mafia LXI right?
I encourage everyone to play in The Game. No clue stuff this time so another Liquid City shouldn't happen. I'm being very careful with power roles. Same type of closed setup though so you will know the names of all roles that may or may not be in play but not the alignment or power

Here's my ad, consider this the beta version of the OP :
The Game Carved from black marble, four cherubs float above the doorway. Divine intervention! Yes, surely these guardians brought you the favor of the gods! But how soon those precious eyes carved in darkness contorted to glares. And in your doubt it has come to seem the delightful songs of diminutive angels were reversed in the ominous black marble; recorded in stone as a devilish cacophony Were they now the very embodiment of the furies? Will I allow, once again, this spirit of vengeance and destruction to take me over? This foolish greed?
You are now a participant in the mysterious game. You have played many games like it before. But the darkness beyond those walls is still unknown to you. Twenty four other strangers stand around you clutching their letters and inspecting those wretched cherubs above the door.
Rules and Guidelines 0. Have fun and be excellent to eachother. 1. Modkills do not flip. 2. You cannot under any circumstance change your vote. Voting is mandatory. You can not vote for yourself. 3. Searching for mafia communication outside of this thread is cheating, you will be instantly modkilled for trying. 4. You can not use any outside information for any reason. Meta cases and information irrelevant to the game don't count. Avoid talking about this game with non-players as much as possible and do not mention any such conversations. 5.

If you're unsure if something is acceptable please PM me. 8. I will not answer questions asked in the thread. I accept questions via PM only. 9. Unless you have a valid excuse you must post at least twice during each day cycle. If you were only able to post once during the day, you can make up for it by being active at night.

Under special circumstances, cycles may be lengthened but never shortened. 11. It is possible in this game that your win condition will change.

Wait so is LXI the next "normal game" with no host claimed? I'll claim it if that's the case if that means I can start right after LX. Are we still allowed to have named normal size games?

Yes, there's nothing wrong with naming your normal game. Do you still need sometime to get your setup ready? I was going to toss up a mini and wait for Personality 2 to start before putting up the next big game.

I'm fine with you doing this, just make sure players specifically know what they are getting into. As long as you aren't already hosting something else you can do experimental games. I think in the past if someone wanted to do something crazy they would just call it "Experimental Mini Mafia" or whatever.

Please put me down for a normal-mini after Hydra finishes.
[M][N] Noir Mini Mafia: Chapter 1
I'll be using a slightly tweaked version of Blazinghand's British Mini Mafia II (mostly just blue-role tweaks to my own taste).
+ Show Spoiler +Just a simple game of Mafia. Created by Hapahauli The Basics:- Six Vanilla Townies + One Doctor vs. Two Mafia Goons
- Instant-majority lynch.
- No night-cycle.
Voting:- All voting is done in-thread. Standard formatting (##Vote: <Player>).
- A player is lynched as soon as he reaches a clear majority of votes.
- After a player is lynched, no posting is allowed until the next daypost.
- 48-hour lynch deadline on Day 1. No deadline for Day 2 and beyond.
- If I feel a day is dragging on too long, I will set a lynch-deadline for that day.
House Rules:- You must post once every 24 hours and make a good-faith effort to participate in the game. This will be strictly enforced barring special circumstances or notifying me in advance of your absence.
- I am very lenient about in-thread behavior - Mafia is an emotional game. You will be warned if you cross the line. You will be modkilled/replaced if you cross it again. (If I have to resort to this, I assure you that you've made an ass of yourself.)
- Don't cheat. See the TL Mafia Model OP (click!) for details.
- Play to win.
