I have a question of a technical nature about adjudicating conflicting actions in a mafia game.

Can someone who considers themselves knowledgeable about such things please PM me.

I have no idea what this is about and Shouldn't care too much but if you have problems with something like action order, you could use something like this:

1. Immunities
2. Controlling another player's actions
3. First strike non-killing actions
4. Gaining actions
5. Losing actions
6. Redirecting / replacement effects
7. Roleblocking
8. Protecting
9. Rescuing / Reviving
10. Sending items or messages
11. First strike killing actions
12. Killing actions
13. Gathering information
14. Anything else

While the two current ones are still midgame, once one of them ends, a new one will open up for signees, so there should be plenty of chance to join up ;)

Damnations game #11 looks very good from what ive read I recommend signing up for that once it starts (I estimate end of month)

I cant play as I know the setup though :(

From looking at the games both look like they are going to end around the same time?

Has anyone on the host list have a game ready?

I know I'm the last in the queue, but I have a game sort-of-ready. I have the overall design pretty much nailed, I just have to fine tune the nuts and bolts of the thing.

Sounds good Baz

I removed the add my name to the pool as im hosting whoopsie :(

How else can we cater to bring more players into the fold?

I think Zchinque's game is ready too.

Perhaps a couple of small newbie games could be run on the side..?

I like this a lot. Short games with maybe 7-9 players run by mods who want to experiment/gain experience before trying one of the big games. Plus it wouldn't be as high pressure, since the games would be shorter.

But yeah, I'm totally hooked on Mafia now. I love that concept.

Well, I was thinking run by experienced mods with a few experienced players, but orientated to a newbie audience, i.e. everything is as stable as possible to introduce new players - a few "normal" power roles, no invented power roles, balanced teams... etc. Maybe put a cap on the number of "2+ games" people allowed to sign up for it... But yeah, it's one idea. :)

I already did 9 players game and it was quite difficult to fill it with players. There were 6 new players at the start of game and 3 of them replaced out for more experienced players. There seemed to be not enough interest to gain more players.

The thing to do is put a post out asking everyone - call it 'Mafia Recruitment' or something similar...

And play mafia recruitment music!

I...can definitely approve of this.
