Players with 3 games or less would be given priority, but a lot of the time it is difficult to find a replacement who meets this requirement. I know some hosts have had issues with this in the past, thinking it would be unfair on the other team to insert a more experienced player, but I think modkilling a player because replacements are not available is even more harsh. We also have the option of requiring at least one replacement signup before the game begins, but lately there have been a couple games that have taken 3+ weeks to fill up and that probably contributes to the inactivity modkills in itself. I believe you're talking about me  It's a pretty tough decision, and I really wouldn't have minded getting a replacement with a bit more experience, but the people I could find to replace in had 10+ games, which I don't feel fits in a newbie game. Modkills are harsh, but they are still part of our regular games too, unfortunately. | ||

We have tried advertising in the past in the S&G forums, but I'm not sure that really helped. I bump that thread every time I make a newbie game. I have no clue whether it helps. Nobody has messaged me saying they saw that thread, but I haven't actively asked where the newbies bumped into us either. My last newbie game had 3 players from mafiascum. Not sure how much crossover between the two forums is normal, but it seemed like a lot. Might be worth talking to them when games are hard to fill up, and let them advertise hard-to-fill games here? | ||

the IP checks wont' catch everyone and certainly won't catch people being lurky/not interested, but if someone has like 10 posts and has been on TL for a week and wants to play TL Mafia, I feel like a newbie game is there already as a buffer between that player and our normal games. do we really need another buffer? | ||

The guy's been banned from TL Mafia for a year, he could easily just ask for a second chance and get it. I even PMed him saying so after GM caught him trying to smurf, but he never replied. He made it through the smurf check when he joined one of my games a few games earlier, though he didn't cause any problems and I don't think we're ever going to get around it. | ||

We play our games via text rather than via voice (as a rule). However, ESPORTS Mafia, as an event/show run by community figures, it seems like it does in really meet the calendar requirements, since it is in fact on. If you want more information you'll probably want to PM/contact the people involved directly. They don't post here (yet!) | ||
