I like the player-reputation stuff a lot - that's definetely going to be on for the next one.
As for "nostalgia games," I'm not too thrilled about that because it limits accessibility towards newer players and those who weren't involved in the game. Specific examples are fine, but I'm hesitant to devote a significant segment towards a game that a good portion of listeners don't know about. Maybe but i was thinking the casters could give like an overview of the game and discuss key moments and turning points. It would also mean talking about games in which players who are now considered "vets" by many were still learning the game and would be less alienating because of this. But how many people know all about LX anyway? It had 25 players, hosts and a few observers but the thread was pretty long i doubt more than a few dozen have extensive game knowledge. Even then in that cast the people in the game still made quite a few errors about what actually happened. If you decide beforehand to talk about a game it might help to read over it a bit. Perhaps that could make it too much work to do this for an older game since it would require more time to be able to discuss properly. Well the thing with current games is that a decent amount of people tend to observe them or lightly follow them. Also I don't want to make newer members of the community have to go back and read a 100+ page game to understand something from the podcast. EDIT: It's just an accessibility issue. Going over a current game is going to appeal to many more players than a "nostalgia" game for the indulgement of a couple of vets.
No one would need to go back and read except for the people doing the cast, who can (hopefully) explain enough about the game to make the conversation easy enough to follow.
I do think it's nicer to listen to people who are enjoying a conversation and i think at this stage there is still room to try things to see what works best rather than try to appeal to the masses that follow TLmafia.

As a player with a reputation, I think talking about player reputation can be good. I also thing though we should talk about how to make a good impression as a newbie. Reputations don't just exist in a bathroom. They are earned.

Thats a great topic actaully and melds very well with the crux of this podcast (imho)
Developing and nurturing "talent' in the up n comers.

I have met several people whose reputations exist in bathrooms

You know, the bathroom is a really odd place to meet people whose reputations exist

I'm pretty excited for this to happen.
If we are going to pick an old game to read, let me know now so I have the time to honestly take notes.

I have an idea-- let's bring a newbie in on the show, not a total newbie, like someone who's played his newbie games plus like 3-4 games.

Yeah it's probably a good idea to have a mix of different people with different experiences with the game. Otherwise it can turn into a BITTER-VET podcast pretty quick.

I would have loved to hear about Nominations too, if that's possible

I'm happy to be a bitter vet. Or a bitter newbie. Really I'll just be bitter if you need it.

Well it looks like I'll likely be hosting this next week.
Are there any suggestions for the 2nd topic? I know VE wanted to do Nomination Mini, but that's all I've heard.
I can go on and talk about nomination this week.
I did an audio recording originally as my review but it broke and I wasn't able to upload it, so this might be a good idea.

I just listened to the podcast.
It was talked about how one of the hosts (can't remember which one now) wanted to see town play well and lose. Hero mini mafia got brought up and I would say that Yet Another Normal Mini Mafia is another excellent example of that. But besides those two games I think there haven't been good examples of it recently.
oh, I also wanted to add. Kurumi told a fucking hilarious story about pyp:i I have no idea what he was on about for some of it but I would listen to him describe mafia plays forever. And it made me happy that he swears as much me, no one swears as much as me.
