Review thread, yay!
Some things I noticed:
The number of drops last season increased dramatically. I know we say it every time, but we really need to stress how much time is being devoted when you join a game.
I also think we should come up with a standardized post for "0.5" games that is easily recognizable and understood to better facilitate those.
Another thing I noticed was the questioning of RL. I know it happened in DR and maybe GAFia. I think we either need to make it a rule that you shouldn't lie about RL, or at least strongly discourage it.
Now, I have also been working on a game myself:
Number of player slots for the game: 26-ish, very flexible.
People who have been told about, consulted, or hinted information about your set-up: My brothers, who may or may not join season 4.
Theme: Danny Phantom
Game type: 4-6. It's mostly comprised of Roles for the mafia scum wiki, but there are 1-2 aspects that are different from classic. Nothing crazy like Cthulhu or DR.
I actually talked to Cabot on PSN the other day. He was allegedly sober at the time. He said I needed to try whatever this is:
I'm not Scottish, but that "stuff" is pretty much all I drinkI actually talked to Cabot on PSN the other day. He was allegedly sober at the time. He said I needed to try whatever this is:
We also talked about Badminton. More people should get on PSN and bullshit with us. Accents be damned.
I was thrown off when the first question you asked me when I joined the party was how drunk are you.
I would like more snacks in the Dead Thread. I often went over to the table to get some and noticed all the good snacks (popcorn, m&ms, etc) were gone and the only thing left was the honeydew from the fruit salad and the veggie platter.
I don't have too much to contribute I guess, I think if we run side-games during the season we should offer more sign-up time (especially for things like ONUW which seemed to have time of like... 4 hours to sign up sometimes). I'm a little concerned with how we'll factor in side-game deaths with the priority of main season signups. Previously we've done the priority as new players, then order of death in the main games. Do we factor in the side GAFIA/Elections/NX games or not? If so, is it based on the day number you died or the calendar day?
I think because of the number of games we ended up doing. The priority order should be how many games you played from: Cthulhu, Dangan, Archer, NX, Gafia, Election (less games played, higher priority) and then for those who are tied in number of games played, the people with the least amount of phases played should have higher priority. As an example (numbers and names are examples and made up):
Sorian played in 4 games. Ouro played in 3. Launch and Retro played in 2 games. Priority would be:
Launch/Retro
Ouro
Sorian
Launch lived to day 4 and night 5 in the two games he played. Retro lived to day 2 and night 6 (but subbed in at day 4 in the game he lived to night 6) so Launch played a total of 17 day/night phases and Retro played 9 day/night phases. So final priority is:
Retro
Launch
Ouro
Sorian
A little complicated? Maybe. But I think it ends up being the most fair to figuring out priority order. I'd even be willing to figure out all of the above as long as when vets sign up, they tell me which of the season 3 and 3.5 games they played in.
What do people think about keeping the dead thread spoiler free? I think it would cut down on some of the "aggressive commentary" that a couple of people have complained about, but might also make games more interesting to spectate? Having this rule in place also allows more "interacting with the dead" or revival roles further down the line.
I'd agree but make it even more complicated in that we should take into account average lifespan in the games played. It's possible someone played 2 games and died in day 1 in each of them. I'd argue they should get higher (or maybe equal) priority than someone who played DanganRonpa and survived the entire game. Maybe some point system where living 1 phase is equal to 1 point, while participating in a game is +4 or something?
[*]There were talks about players potentially being able to swap places or select games to participate in. What do you guys think? Would the logistics be too troublesome? What are the pros and cons?
[*]Season 4 will run into the holiday season. We have never run GAFia through the xmas / ny period. Are there potential issues here? How to address it best?
[*]Newbie honeymoon period. There were discussions about how to handle newer players in-game. Once the sign-up thread is up, I will try to put together some analysis on retention and return rate of players, but how the community treats newer players would have some effects on the communitys population stability. Any thoughts on this?
[*]Any other feedback / gripes / constructive criticism you wanna raise, PLEASE SPEAK UP! Anything that you particularly enjoy or were frustrated with, any issues, any memories, any ideas WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THEM ALL. Okies? ^____^
My little sister who lives in Edinburgh keeps trying to get me to drink that Irn Bru thing. It tastes alright i suppose, but i prefer other fizzy drinks.
Did Crab have a system by which he ultimately chose the 3 main season games?
Also, regarding the normal game, i don't see why it can't be flavored if the roles are all standard and can be found on the mafia wiki.
Your poor little sister. I feel for her.
No way I called KK firstHey, at least it's not Dundee!
Can we make fanclubs for people? If so i nominate myself as president of the Sqiggy and Kingkitty fanclubs.

Who wants to be in my fan club?

Ok
Wait, what about MY fan club? ;_;
I'll join your fan club!
Here's my quick and dirty thoughts in priority for next season. For each 3/3.5 game played (excluding the Quicktopic games), each person who played gets 10 points. For each day that was played after they died, they subtract one point.
So if Darryl played in 3 games and survived until day 3, 2, and 4, with each game lasting 7, 8, and 7 days respectively, he would have 30 - (4+6+3) = 17 points.
Priority then goes to people who have the lowest points, in order to the highest.

Alright, I'll head it up.
How'd you spell your name again?

My GAFia number is 28.
Do I get anything for having the most points??
EDIT: I nominate myself and Cabot for GAFia Survivor awards.
Just ignore the side games! To evaluate a person's place on the player list, just look at how many seasonal games they've played, followed by time of death, and maybe win percentage? Keep it simple.
Remember that we NEED a few players on a waiting list for replacement purposes.
Ohhhh are you including the vig game? Does that count as a full mafia game?

Nah, if we did that, I'd have a fairly high priority that is undeserved. I died pretty quick in Cthulhu but then played in all 3 season 3.5 games. Seems to unfair to me.
Ugh, arithmetic.
Archer, NX and Election = 30.
Archer is the full ten as I lasted till the end.
I believe I died on the penultimate day/night on both NX and Election, so I guess my GAFia Number is 28
:3
Main games I'm a 30/30. Side games included, I'd be... 37/40? Not sure when I died or how long the Election game went.
I feel like we're developing a running joke here based on how little you paid attention to election from just before you died onwards.
I'm still mad.
Maybe you shouldn't have outed me as a PR
Still wasn't cause of death, though. =)
I forget why you ever died. it's almost as if you were lynched from people forgetting to take their vote off of youI'm still mad.
I would be uhh..
Three games = 30 points
Died in Archer at N2, game ended at day seven, so five days lost = -5p
Died in NX at N2, game ended at day five, so three days lost = -3p
Election died N1, game ended at day five, so dour days lost = -4p
Soo I would be 18p
election ended day 5!!
give me a second here:
D1- king kitty
D2- hyperactivity
D3- Palmer?
D4- el topo
D5- blargonaut
damn
that puts me at 16 points

Crab will make the decision on who get's the slots, the remaining two become 4.5 games I guess?So we now have five moderators (Me, Salva, Retro, Palmer & Terrabyte). What should we do?
