Way I thought of it, I'd let you handle most of the game running itself, I'd just write some flavor, try and catch anything before it went live, and answer any questions you had about running a game.

TBH I'm half-tempted to just say "hey, you wanna run NSBM 6?  Go ahead and have it!" But I've written a lot of flavor for it I'd be sad to waste lol.

It's nice that we've got a few new players, for sure.

In any case I'll run FBYOR5 if there's enough interest and preference for that. If people prefer the idea of NSBM6 being run, then I'll go ahead and join that as a player.

[Superdorf]

Hm... well, I'd be honored to try my hand at this co-modding thing!
Or I could play in that BYOR. I've not played in such a game before; it'd be an interesting experience.

Both things are good.

Whichever order, really, I'm not picky.  Anyone have a preference on basic vs. complicated for the next game?

[IcyTea31]

I'm not picky either, though seeing Superdorf mod would be interesting.

[IonMatrix]

So...,did Superdorf ever been a mod before?

[Superdorf]

Nope! I have no idea what I'm doing.

I figure I can fake it tho!

[IcyTea31]

I used this and this for advice in designing my game. You need to adapt them a little for them to be relevant to Bay12, but that shouldn't be too hard.

[FallacyofUrist]

You should also keep in mind the number of players you're likely to get. The player base here has really shrunk from its former glory. Don't expect to get more than 9 players.

[Superdorf]

Many thanks to the both of you! I've read through those guides; they're very nice indeed (if tailored to a rather denser community than this one). I can start planning for rulesets and setups and whatnot whenever.

Now we just need to figure out what we're doing when... shall I start working with 4maskwolf to prepare a game, or wait for that BYOR to play out first?

Hmmm, how does this work? Ahem, more like, what are the vanilla games available? I'd like to go for Basic 12-man but not sure if it's still there or not (it's not in the first two posts at a glance).

I'll just pull the vanilla game category from our Notable Games Archive thread:

Beginner's Mafia I
The very first Beginner's Mafia round ever run.  The scumteam, inexperienced as it was, managed to pull the wool over the town's eyes after nearly getting caught the first day.  Notable both for terrible scum play and excellent scum play, as well as a number of attempted gambits.  Shows the downside to townie gambles, as well as being a good guide on trapping beginners and structured, end-game oriented scum play.

Beginner's Mafia III
This was the game that moved ICs from "player" status to "observer/tutor" status.  Both ICs rolled up scum and proceeded to thrash the town in a manly fashion--other than the fact that one of them died D2 after a carefully launched townie assault.  The other one was Webadict.  Despite the thrashing, this was a surprisingly tense game.  A last-minute townie replacement resulted in a near-loss for the scum team.  Demonstrates insightful playing at its best, on both sides.

Beginner's Mafia IV
Near-flawless scum game, along with a doctor gambit near the end that played out surprisingly well.  This is the game to look at if you want to see how to fake town.

Beginner's Mafia IX
Mostly up for its obscenely good flavor.  The town played a strong game in this one, as did the scum, despite numerous replacements.  Nothing especially new, but it's a truly great read.

Beginner's Mafia XXXIII
Both IC's were scum.  Need I say more?

Beginner's Mafia XXXV
Don't let the scum lurk to victory.  Do enjoy the magnificent flavor.

Not-So Beginner's Mafia
The scum convinced a townie to lynch confirmed town.  Good and bad play abound here from both sides.  If you didn't know what buddying was when you started reading, you'll certainly know by the end.

Not-So-Beginner Mafia: Panda Edition
This is basically the fastest town victory the board has ever seen.  Ever.  It was entirely behavior-based, too.  Of course, the scum were relatively inexperienced, but this is still an absurdly high-powered game.
Oh, and the flavor was also awesome--pity we couldn't see more of it.

Near-Mountainous Mafia
Good town play--unfortunately against some rather poor scum, but the hunting was relentless, and the scum gave a strong fight.

I'll vote for NSBM and join it when it runs

[IonMatrix]

NSBM is stil beginner-ish, right?

[Superdorf]

Fairly. No more complicated than that last game of IcyTea's, I should think, and quite possibly less.
