Since my game is going to start in the next few weeks, anyone who would like to Co host hit me up. This means any newer player that I get along with will have the chance to co host and see what the backend of a game looks like.

Of course you can. People might not sign up for it but no one is, or can really stop you from doing it. Just use the hosting queue, and if possible play a game or two so people won't think twice about trusting your setup.

Also it is highly recommended that you cohost a game with an experienced host here before hosting your game just so you get a feel for the standards/rules we have here.

I'll try to play a game once I finish my latest GMing stint there. It's going to be a completely different experience from what I'm used to, to be completely honest.



I've hosted at least half a dozen games with 20+ signups over the last couple of years of doing that, so I'm quite used to doing a solo GM role.

To be quite honest, my biggest concern when I'm going to do my game would be its nature; it's nearly a completely different animal from what everyone here may be used to. If anyone wishes to look at what the game I'm planning to do would be structured like, I'll gladly provide a couple of links of finished games showing how it would play out.

I have a question; I've been playing a different Mafia format from what's currently being used here, and I would like to try out the format I've been using here because I think that it would thrive because of its different layers of known and unknown information. Would it be worth trying out here? BTW, with the format I have in mind, I can still run everything by myself.

I'd highly recommend either playing in a game or two yourself or getting a cohost to help you out (both ideally though). It'll make people more likely to join and would also make Qatol and I feel a lot better about you hosting a game given your situation.

I looked through one of your games, it didn't seem that radically different from some of the stuff we have going on in here. And there are quite a few people who enjoy those kinds of setups as well.

Thanks for the voice of support. It's likely because of the different terminology and the difference in systems that's making me concerned about the whole thing. After I play a game or two here, I'll sign up for the waiting list.

While I like the fact that you have a lot of theme games, some roles rely on chance. I don't generally like roles that rely on chance because you could have situations where the game relies on a literal coinflip... which is really unfair if you think about it.

I wasn't doubting your experience or your competency, and I'm sorry if you interpreted my comment that way. It's just that, similar to how TL has a different atmosphere from the rest of the internet (as you have probably noticed in the year you have been on the site), TL mafia also has a different atmosphere from other mafia websites. This is just one way we try to maintain consistent standards from game to game.

Also, like others have said, your game is more likely to attract the pickier players they know who you are, and that comes from cohosting and playing.

Ciryandor, co-hosts are our mechanism to make sure things work out if the host suddenly and inexplicably vanishes, its also important that they be there to give the host a second opinion in sticky , drama filled situations (which despite our best efforts keep cropping up). If you need one for your game, I'm more than happy to cohost, that should also alleviate the issue of you being relatively new. (not to hosting, but to TL Mafia ^_^)
