We should probably start taking sign-ups for Dethy Deluxe.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

So, I think that we need to make sure there's no serious flooding, but let's start tossing ideas out there, getting some stuff into the queue, and taking info on what sorts of games want playing.  I agree that we need a Nearly-Mountainous round about now, but it's also turning into time for another BYOR and we need someone to take over the BM series with Dakarian's disappearance.

I don't want to take the BM series. I could do another BYOR later, but I'm only running two Mafias at once.

Does anyone know what happened to dakarian? Did he die? Hospitalized? Move to Amish land?

I'll probably take BM XI, at the very least, once I've finished the flavor for IX and the aftermath of X dies down (also, once I've thought up another crazy story).  As far as Dakarian goes, he started working two jobs or something and has absolutely no time whatsoever.

Perhaps he will.

To explain, for about half a year I've been going on a job hunt, with no bites (well, one company that kept saying they are about to take me in but never did after 3 months of calls.

Then boom, I got two jobs from the US government.  Both temp but both welcome.. and both starting at about the same time. 

Thus at April the 12, My weekday schedule looked like this:

9pm wake up after 2-3 hours of sleep, get ready for job #1.
10:30pm report to job that starts at 11pm (you CAN report on time but the job is 'first come first serve'.  Basically, they hire more people than they need thus the first to show up get to work that day and the rest go home with '2 hours take home pay'). 

Work till 7am, where in I go strait to job #2 that starts at 8:30am.

Work till 5pm, get home at 6pm.

Attempt to sleep the second I get home.  Set alarm for 9pm.

Weekends were a mix of job #1 still wanting me to work regular hours, job #2 asking for overtime, and attempts to regain some piece of sleep.

Nevermind not coming to run my only game!  I never realized how wonderful getting 4 hours of sleep can be.


But, now I'm a one job person, with the #1 job ending early.  It means I can now do some things normally again.  Some things, like sleep.  As for these forums, it's a mix.  I should be able to host regular games again though I'll focus more on fillling in for player demand.  Even if I don't run a game, I'll keep the Attendance board running at least so I'll be around. 

As for BYOR:C it depends on whether the game is formally alive or dead.  I have a few choices:

Get it moving again so it can finish.
Redo it with a MUCH softer ruleset (i.e. the crazy roles everyone had, but with few to no quirks.. a few ways around on that)
Dump it to the side, post up the spreadsheets and move on and pretend it never happened.

Personally, I loved the roles I made up, and some of the quirks (i.e. Xanatos and most of the role-changing ones) but not the ones that REALLY changed the game. 

Ok, SERIOUSLY, I'm just happy to be back and don't really care what happens so long as I can get back to the community again. 

(yes.. while also playing SC2 and DF.  I so miss both games...

..oh and anime, though only a few shows :P)

This one. Definitely this one. At least don't do the second one, as I have a post I have been developing with stuff from the current game, and if you redo it without revealing anything and use exact same roles and such, I won't be able to post it until the new game ends, when this one is already decently in progress, and once the new thread starts it'd be irrelevant anyway.

You could dump the spreadsheets on someone else and ask them to finish it, if you just don't want to. There's a difference between having the time and having the motivation.

I've been lax about updating this thing lately. Anything I've missed or need to change?

No, sadly.  I'm kind of wondering where Dakarian disappeared himself to, though.
