I can... but I will not! [insert evil laughter]
It was, and it helped, too. But of course all faults in the setup are mine and mine only. I just wanted to throw that out here.

Good points you have there, Z. I do have some things of my own I'd like to add to that, but I'm not going to, for fear of inadvertently giving out some information about my ongoing game. So I'll save it for later.

I never did reply to this. I'll be glad to help review too even though that's one area of the game I don't have much experience in yet (mainly cause I haven't yet had to read up much on it - I've seen a few places that explain aspects of it though and I think I know the rough concepts).

I think to keep it simple, first time moderators should have to go for a mandatory setup review, after that it's optionally up to them. Alternatively the cutoff could be higher than 1 modded game.

Request :

After a game has finished can we have a proper dissection of it somewhere (separate thread) or similar?

Would be nice to have it all explained to us by the MOD, with their proper thoughts on it and a discussion.

We should ask GOG for a new forum section for mafia games. :P

That would be grand :D Might even attract more players :D

Apparently there is an outside discussion topic for mafia #4 somewhere!

Yeah, but this is a spectator thread, so MOD hasn't given out any spoilers.

*struts into thread*

Sup. How about those games?

Post-game discussion usually takes place in the game-thread after the game has finished. Nothing keeps people form discussing past games in this thread, either.
One could always make a completely new thread, but I'm not sure I personally see any particular reason to.

Second'd.

Now... anyone other than jess have a yay/nay/I don't care towards a mandatory review process?

I have a yay right here. It's definitely helpful.

Probably make it mandatory for first and perhaps second timers, but one should know that getting a game reviewed is always wiser than not having it reviewed :p

I agree with this. It should be strongly recommended to have it reviewed, but perhaps only mandatory for people without many games modded under their belt?

That sounds good.

I was just paraphrasing Damnation. XD

I know. I just don't like nested quotes.
