I'd also be in for hosting something, but it looks like I'm now one of several.  Do we have enough interest that we could float gametypes?  I would lean toward something lighter given the last two games were Bastard Paranormal 3 and BYOR 15.

I wouldn't mind playing in a mostly vanilla open or semi-open setup.

Interesting. When it's my turn, I would like to run a The One I Cannot Kill.
I would literally play anything right now, so I don't see small games being an issue.

I definitely do not have the time right now LOL, I am hoping that 2 or 3 people want to make other small games first.

I personally have a preference for "slim closed" setups, stuff like the old color mafia, vote mafia, whatever. a little mafia amuse-bouche. But I also think that a palate-cleanser of a mostly vanilla would help to settle my anxious stomach.

Okay, so Hector13 followed by 4mask followed by me all volunteered to host something little.  Does a 5 player game need to respect the queue that much?


What is the current state of the queue, anyway?

For the big game to replace BYOR 15, who’s up next for that? The beginner mafia is traditionally in its own separate queue due to being intended for a different crowd than the main games, and with D3 heading towards its conclusion it’s not a bad time to get setups going.

Little clue. I would be fine pointing towards a smaller beginner mafia game if I don't get enough people for F11. At the least, it isn't going to run concurrent with another beginner mafia.

For smaller/shorter games, the queue isn't really a barrier, as that was meant for avoiding large games conflicting with each other. If you can get a small/short game to run, based off some initial interest, I see that as a boon for the community.

I can have a game up shortly if there are no objections?

I’ll do Vengeful Mafia, as I think a handful of those have been run on the board before, and it seems easy enough.

Do y’all want a relatively short game, say 48-72 hour days, or a bit longer, say 120 hour (or longer :o) days? Hammers would be in effect for both, and no extensions since they’re usually awful.

Might as well try to fast one first, and if it's too short, then we make it a bit longer?

If roseheart doesn't decide to take priority, I can run Mostly Vanilla Mafia 2. I'll defer to them if they have their own ideas though, since they queued up first.

Queue is really only for big games, and even there it's more of an attempt to let everyone keep track of who wants to run stuff so we don't step on each other's toes. I'm not trying to be gatekeeper or anything with this thread.

Beginners are in their own category.

Small games are fine as long as they have the players they can run.

Yeah, that seems fair. We don't need to keep it to only one game at a time if the other games are smaller or focused on beginning players. I'll just have to see whether roseheart wants to take the next 'big game' slot.

I probably will not be ready to host my vanilla mafia, for the better part of a month. Atleast not for a few weeks.

I'm thinking of running a heavily revised version of Choose Your Own Mafia. Details in the setup review channel here. Would love to get some feedback on the setup before going into signups, though there can be a phase before the game starts for finalising any last minute rule adjustments.
