How about a [USEFUL THREAD] or [READ THIS FIRST] tag for the ones people need to read?  Just seems to be less work and doesn't rely on you never being busy.
And it's not usually too bad. Just a few new people who don't know the rules. A [READ ME] tag would definitely help.

The reason why I keep the signboard up in the first place, though, is that sometimes the useful threads will drop 5 pages into the abyss.  It means that we don't have to sticky everything we want people to see, and in reality the turnaround on those threads is... once every 6 months?

An additional [READ THIS] tag couldn't hurt, though.

@Archangel:
:-/

You don't have time to play even and, believe it or not, it takes time to mod. It's less spread out, sure, but it's a fair bit of effort and you do need to keep up with the thread. Also there's already one probable co-mod.

At least it won't mess with the game as much as not participating as a player, so Mephansteras' call again.
I will do a good job if Meph lets me try: I enjoy writing, and do it well, I most likely can do whatever Meph asks of me. I keep up with the thread, and keeping track of votes and such shouldn't be too hard for me. The thing I'd probably find most arduous would be assigning roles, and Meph's likely to be doing that.

In fact, I've got an idea for this round's setting and I hope Meph will let me write it, even if he doesn't want me as a co-mod.

I've realised the the reason I play Mafia so badly is that I don't enjoy it. Pure and simple. Time isn't my problem. I do have the time to play, but I don't use it. I could do well, but I'm not interested enough. I know I don't like it, so I'm not going to play it. So shut up about it. And be glad I'll definitely not be in charge of the roles.

I object. I dislike your antagonistic attitude, and disrespect for the players, mods, and the game itself. If you don't enjoy it, what are you doing here? I thought you said you'd go away and not to let you join games for many months. So I'll do as you asked and not let you join. So shut up about it.

If you're in, in any capacity, I'm out.

I'm sorry. I'm just sick of that specific player complaining about me. I didn't intend to insult anyone, and I should have worded that differently. I meant that I know that I don't play well, and I know why it is so, and I'm going to stop inflicting myself on anyone else by doing what I've been doing. If you truly do not want me, I'll still write out my ideas and send them to Meph, but I'll withdraw my request to co-mod.

You reeeeeeally don't want to be asking me if you should participate Archangel. The only reason I'm not objecting is that if you screw this up, you'll be outta here for good, which I'm kinda hoping for.

Oh, and also because you're technically not playing. That would also be why.

Thanks for the offer, Archangel, but if I do have a co-mod for this game it'll probably be Jokerman. Feel free to send me your ideas, though.

Game will probably get underway in a couple of days.

OK. That's fine. I'd have liked the chance, but there'll be other opportunities. I'll send you the idea that I've written and outline the other one. May I please have spoiled spec?

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.

Maaaan, now I have to re-image you in my brain. Bother.

In other news, we're at 14 players now. Awesome. I wonder if we can get to 16?

Game will start Thursday, since I'm not going to have time to properly set it up in the next two days. Maybe we'll get two more people by then.
