Well, the problem is the bottleneck we just created. Many of those planned games came up before we started asking for some of the games to be delayed, thus they ended up in limbo. We're still about 2 games shy of being able to allow any of them up. It doesn't help that all of the active games are on Sleep mode thanks to the holiday (in case you wondered why they all stalled. Don't expect them to recover until monday btw)
As for the games on the planned list:
- 8 players. It can actually run RIGHT NOW.
- 6 players. Another that can start NOW.
- Red Vs Blue Election Mafia
- This one looks pretty dead.
- 3 people. May recover once Josh prods it back up.
- 13 people, ready to start.

The rest are actually in discussion mode or preparation:
Aztec, Supernatural and Horrible Role do need to be put into DISCUSSION threads so that a full form game can be made. Aztec has some ideas to be fleshed out. Horrible needs ideas on possible roles unless leaf is already ready with them now. Supernatural has role ideas and concept but is in serious need of balancing.
My BYOR is going to be standard so I just need the green light for signups. Werewolf is also sounding standard and, thus, pretty much ready. Zai claims that his Mafia, though a semi-bastard, is also about ready for the green light.

Create 3 lists of games if you can:
1. Active games. Include both running games and games in signup. We'll just let a game with full signups go ahead and play. Bastard/OneLynch/Paranormal can go ahead when they want to and once they make sure everyone that wants to play does play. Josh needs to be asked if he wants to keep trying on Speed mafia but if he does he can go ahead and be active. Red and Blue needs to be dropped or put into Development.
2. Games in Que. Fully made games ready for signups but waiting for other games to finish. BYOR, Werewolf, and Zai's Mafia would go here, waiting for the other games to end. If Leaf is done making his roles then Horrible would go here too.
3. Games in Development. Games that people want to run but still need to develop, talk about and/or check to see if people are interested. Aztec, Supernatural, and my new King of the Mafia would fit here. So would Horrible if Leaf isn't done yet.
As far as how games go from one to the other, all games start on Development (whether they have a thread or not) and go into Que when the host feels that it's ready to run. Of course, that means, Standard games will get on que faster than others, though a Standard game should still be checked for popularity. For now we'll just let the host decide rather than have some drawn out acceptance process.
If we're going to do the "# of players max" deal then we need to list how many players are slotted for each of the Active games and how many max we'll want. Then, as openings show up, games in que can move to Active.
Only issue is what game in que will go into Active first. I'm almost tempted to suggest that poll again, made to allow people to vote multiple games, to show interest. When a slot opens, any game in que who's votes match or exceed it's requested # of players will start, with first come-first served in effect. Thus by the time the game had signups up, it'll not only be fully made but also KNOW it'll have folks who want to play. If a game sits in que over and over because it can't get enough votes of interest then it probably wouldn't have enough interested people singing up either.
