Election Day will soon be over too.

[FallacyofUrist]

Election Day has ended hilariously. If nobody else would like to take the mini-setup slot, I'll put my six-player mini setup Dreams of Elan into signups. Of course Caves of Dashar was pretty recent so I understand if someone else wants to run a mini-setup first.

Very hilariously. It was fun watching.

Also, I'd like to be put in the Queue for running a Royal-style game. Specifically, Execution in the Palace. (Named Traitors in the Fortress)

I think I was next, but I'm struggling to find my notes for the game (Vengeful Bastard) and this weekend is busy for me anyway.  Go ahead and I'll do the next one.

Leafsnail is ahead of me so I'll wait for him to assert a claim but it's looking like there might be opportunity and interest for TBD Groovester Mafia. It's going to be a cult game if that tempers your enthusiasm at all.

I will likely reach out for advice on balance and tuning the set up.

I won't be able to play yet, but I could look over the setup if you're interested.

Also, I'm looking to put a small game into signups ... that would start several weeks after signups ended.

I've been steadily building a "mafia engine" to define setups and keep track of actions and the game state.
This is not tied to any particular medium (forum, IRL, chat app).
I've also borrowed/built on some of Wuba's Mamobo work to interface with bay12forums itself.

The game I want to run would be a small (5-7 player) "bring someone else's ability"-style game.
Each player (and maybe random people, too) would secretly suggest an ability or mechanic to add to the game.
The most sane/doable ones would be selected and implemented in the Mafia Engine.
Then, I would run the game using that setup via the engine.

It will take some time to implement and internally test the mechanics (several weeks, or even a month or two).
I would expect people to become unavailable, plus I would want a wider pool of ideas to choose from, so I'm planning to intentionally overbook (~10 player queue).

Would it be OK to start "signups" for such a tentative game?

[TricMagic]

I'd say sure, though you might need to start it properly in a lull.

Given the reason for such a long lag time between sign-ups and start, sure. Though you may run into issues of people having to bow out as life gets in the way. That's the usual problem with long sign-up periods.

[RoseHeart]

I've decided to drop my mafia.

I've decided I got what I needed from working with Meph a few times. Thanks.

List update:

Leafsnail's Gnosia is listed in the queue, but is actually currently in signups as Who Are The Gnosia, so the duplication should be taken out of the queue.

My mini-setup Dreams of Elan should be listed in the signups section.

[Mephansteras]

Thanks! I appreciate the info.

OP should be reasonably up to date at this point.

Revolution III is finished.

Hopefully two more players will come join Dreams of Elan so I can finally get that mini-setup out of the signups bin.
