I would like to play.
There's a game currently in sign-ups. I don't know if Skynet takes new players but you could ask. Otherwise, we can PM you when the next game enters sign-ups.

If you like playing small games, Yellow, we're trying to run those more often.

I think this is a good call.

I couldn't tell if I prefer small games, but for a first try it would be perfect.

Should we start a newb friendly game after the not newb friendly Skynet's Seduction ends?

Some of the games in the queue are also probably newb friendly.

Such as:
Roseheart's Vanilla Mafia
Lords of Mafia maybe?

Lords of Mafia is perhaps not quite as newb friendly as you'd hope. It's a flavor-altered version of War in the Palace.

As far as I can tell the latest one was in April 2017 so I don't know when that will happen again.

I see no reason why they couldn't join just any game, as long as the expectation is that there are going to be weird mechanics involved.

If we could recruit for a proper BM, I'd be willing to run one this summer.

Could always run a smaller setup e.g. Vengeful Mafia as Beginner's games. That should be able to support 1 or 2 beginners with the rest of the slots filled by veterans looking for quick action.



So what should we do with this thread? I obviously haven't been maintaining it and don't intend to start again.

Maybe have the OP point people to the Games Threshold and List thread? That way they can signal their interest there, which might be more effective.

Having this thread as a general repository of new player information is probably still good. Though if it needs revamping you can see about passing it off to someone else. I can always unsticky this one and sticky the new one.

For anyone looking to refine their game, or even just see what it's all about, the Championship is a great place to look!
