...but everyone loses?

in the middle of the dayphase, scum call a not surprising election and villagers are expected to vote for a scum leader. They have to vote for the scum leader because the villager lead is a delusional old man who just got lost on the way to the arts club.

Main season only has a single shared spec thread for all games.

Oh well that's fine too, no reason not to grant me access, no siree just go right ahead!

My b, I think by the time I hit spec thread in season 7 there was only one game left running.

One more note for our new players: (Experienced players, go back to what you were doing - you know all this.)

If/when you have died in our little games, you will be contacted by your gamerunner and given a choice: You can enter the spectators thread on Outer Gafia, or you can go to the replacement list.
The spectator thread is a thread hosted on Outer Gafia that only people who are not playing can enter. There, we discuss the ongoing games. Who is doing well? Who is doing poorly? The identities of the Mafia are traditionally kept secret in this thread until players who are in the know (dead mafia) come and reveal them. For some people, spectating after you die is the most fun part of the entire experience.

However, games also need replacements, and so, if you would like, you can also go to the replacement list, and wait for an open spot in the other game.

Obviously you cannot go back into the game where you previously died. Likewise, you can choose to go from the replacement list to the spectator thread, but you cannot go from the spectator thread to the replacement list.

Folks, we have a LIVE MAFIA situation brewing here. Please come to Discord if you would like to play.

Or, if you're seeing this tomorrow, come to Discord anyway! We like to talk!
 
hi murderers

the mod enclave had a talk recently, and we may be moving to a new system where recruitment thread will go up every 3 or 4 months and games are not structured into main and mid-season concept anymore. this new approach means the next recruitment thread is due around june, ish.



  • on that note, this thread will be moved shortly to the community section~

secondly, the members to mod enclave will be reviewed to coincide with the recruitment drives. so existing mods can step down and play more and new mods can step up :D

for new joiners, you can join the mod enclave by running a game !!

perks include: very nasty secret chat where we bad mouth every one :D .... and a semi-used cookie of dubious flavour !!

responsibilities: mods are expected to..... 1) run their games, 2) provide mentorship, 3) put fires out, 4) review future games, 5) suffer ptsd at the hands of players

To submit a game design, please send PM with a link to a google sheet of your games and an application fee of $5 (non-refundable).​



and finally, what's in the pipeline?

..........STAY TUNED FOR SOME FUTURE EXCITING MURDER STATIONS~

Ah, yes. Great plan ynnny. Now we can artificially drive up the total number of seasons ran. Makes us sound like we've been around longer. Much prestige.

Does seem like a good idea though. I actually wondered why we didn't post a midseason thread just the other day.

Does seem like a good idea though. I actually wondered why we didn't post a midseason thread just the other day.

The theory has been that main season is when we recruit new players, so the initial main season games are carefully reviewed and balanced, and certain elements are discouraged so that we don't scare away new players. Midseason is more uncertain - we don't review the games, we don't discourage those elements, because we know the people who are going to play in the midseason are pretty much already hooked.

The problem is that midseason has been running too long. It was pointed out to me this morning that it was six full months between the start of season 7 and the start of season 8. So we're looking at ways to calm that down. The current proposal is that every four months we'll do some recruiting, just as we have before main season games, and then we will have an ongoing playlist of games that we'll be working through.

Now, what does this mean for you guys? Not a whole lot. We're still going to pay special attention to the games that come right after recruiting. We're still going to do some event games. (We discussed a few things in Modchat today that I think you all are REALLY going to like.) Gafia will still be Gafia.

What's going to change: New threads will be coming more regularly. Hopefully this will mean more new people. Also, if you submit a game to be run, we're going to ask for some of the stuff a lot earlier than you might be used to. You can still submit a design, but shortly thereafter we're going to be coming to talk about what boards you need and what your banners and role PMs look like. We want to get this stuff ironed out early so we can launch you as soon as you come up in the schedule.

Oh yes, there's also going to be a schedule. It will be a mix of mod discretion and first come, first serve. We'll be able to tell you what's coming soon, and what's in the distance to get ready for.

One more thing - Currently the mods for main season games are expected to oversee the next main season. That will be changing as well. Too many of our mods are getting stuck in modchat for too long. From now on, Mods will be expected to run their game, and then stay on in modchat for a period of 8 weeks to help with whatever games come after theirs. If a mod WANTS to stay longer, they are welcome to, but we are only going to require 8 weeks.

Any questions? Let me or Ynnny know.
 
Wait, a thing is happening? To the SYSTEM?

We're going open-world now?

Finally, my Diablo [Mafia] now to be procedurally-generated for true authenticity
 
I meant Breath of the Wild moment

I'm still gonna need to see a spreadsheet, Blarg.

You do not have executive say to give Blarg full approval.



I need one from you, too, for your game.
You'll get it a)when it's done and b)when I've decided if I have enough time to run it (which arkham asylum hopefully will show). Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. You can keep me at the end of the line until you have it if you want.

Hello Murderers! Going to interrupt your regularly scheduled killing to bring an important announcement!

Do you own a Nintendo Switch? Are you planning on buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when it launches this week? Do you enjoy seeing your enemies driven before you and crushing their hopes and dreams with a well-timed Blue Shell?

Then look no further!

This coming Sunday ( the 30th ) I'm looking to get people together for some good ol' fashioned, family friendly Mario Kart! We can dive into some classic races and also check out the new-and-improved Battle Mode! Just reply to this and let me know if you're interested. The only requirement I ask is that you are a part of our Discord channel since that's where I'll be getting everyone together, we also have our Friend Codes set up there as well.

Okay, good to know. Our previous conversation made me think it was closer to being ready. I'll put it on the "Design in Progress" list.

Ooh, that's a good time, assuming I'm not stuck at the in-laws.

It's almost finished for almost a year now, lol. But I never came around to actually finishing it. The mid/main season question, while now obsolete, was mainly to determine if I have to restrain myself on the other aspects.

It's a little later in the day but I'm sure we'll run this again if enough people play.

And at a more reasonable time, too. o/

"I think I need to leave....why? Uh, I'm sick. With MK fever, very dangerous."

Hopefully you'll be able to make it. \o/

Great thing about my in-laws is that they wouldn't care at all if I sat at their place and played Mario Kart Online - unfortunately, their internet sucks.
