Aztec Mafia is now in its Dropped Stage, as I have no time.

=o This was going to be the first of your Mafias that I'd actually join.

But similarly, I don't have the time right now to host a game. So mine may be delayed if the time for its sign-ups to start has come before my situation changes. So perhaps drop Zai's Mafia into the "development" stage for now if we're using Dak's new model (which I actually do like).

Well, if Redwarrior is still doing signups then the game is still active.  Active includes signup time since a game will start as soon as they get the people they want.

Aww.. Do leave the game in Development though so when you have time you can run it.  I know I'd join as well.

Let's face it.  Aztec sounds kickin.  Lots of killing roles with some extra bonuses flying around and neither side sounds overpowering (especially since the town can't just wipe out the entire scumline in one go but they can wipe themselves out pretty quickly).

Since it doesn't seem to be in the queue yet, I'd like to have Rysith's Semi-Bastard Mafia added to the list of queued games.

I guess I'll throw in Vote Mafia 4 into the queue. Way at the bottom.

I just want to put this out here: the optimal starting player count is between 9 to 13 players, 15 at most. More makes the game too confusing and fewer makes the game too short with not enough scum. Keep this in mind when taking sign-ups.

That's not to say small games aren't fun in their own way, they're just short and straighforward. That's also not to say that large games like BYOR Pand aren't fun, they're just really confusing, especially if there's very few PR and/or no extra kills. If you're going to run a 16+ player game, I strongly recommend adding third-parties of some sort or a second (or third?) mafia faction. It helps to make the game shorter and more dynamic. Don't go crazy, obviously, but feel free to try an experiment or two.

Dunno if I ever said this, but I'm still working on Duality Mafia. I just need to decide how to distribute roles in a fair way, and I'll be pretty much ready to go. That might be awhile, though, depending on how much time I decide to throw at the problem.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

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

@Mr.person

The setup can make a difference though.  If it's a single scum with few NKs like a KWN then it needs to be smaller.  KWN:DE only ended day 3 because 2 people were modkilled.  OTOH, Aztec mafia can work with a large group since 6+ deaths per cycle can occur pretty easily.

For a typical 2-3 death per cycle game, yah 9-15.

Umm, is Bastard(perhaps) mod going to actually go?

if not, then let's get Archangel's game or my BYOR up on the table.

(didn't mention one-lynch since that is actually active if Red were to actually get the sign-ups on the front page)

Okay, you can add my starsiege themed game to the planned list, after I finish fleshing out out and get one more game (the crazier the better) under my belt.

Btw, Chosen Mafia just ended, One Lynch and Bastard-Perhaps just started, and I might as well put Eversion Mafia up on Discussion (though it'll sit in there for a while).

Btw, right now there's 10 games running.  How do you guys feel about how the games are moving so far?  I know Paranormal seems to be moving alright.  NSBM is slow but I think its more disinterest than anything else.

How are the other games?  If they are running fine then perhaps we can keep 10 games running overall.

LCS mafia is doing decently, and traffic hasn't been at all bad for the weekend.
