    Hello everyone. It might just be me but I don't see a how to play thread/basics thread for mafia.

    Is there one. If not, I can make it.

    Hi momo

    Games here on DLP usually have shorter Day lengths, hence why people are surprised at the 1 week Days. I would suggest going no longer than 5 IRL days for D1 (so that D1/N1 is a week) and then shortening subsequent days, for example.

    Sooooo, is Stack the Deck going to happen or is there not enough interest?

    I'm down for whatever setup, doesn't necessarily have to be a StD.



    Wait that came out wrong.

    We might have to do some mass tagging to get people to sign up for the StD. I can see why it'd go against people nature to sign up for an StD tho...

    Is there something wrong with a Stack the Deck setup? I've never played it before.

    Me either, but I'm assuming that since balance isn't guaranteed many people are turned off from playing.

    Balance is not what's stopping me playing.

    Yeah, people can or can not sign up for it, but I will say I'd definitely not have signed up for it if I felt like it was a bad setup.

    Ah. I thought that since roles are randomly rolled if you want them that certain combinations of roles would be better than others, this creating a disparity in power.

    It's the combination of a guy who appeared out of nowhere and fluff running this, guys.

    What's wrong with fluff running things? I don't recall any problems with Narutomafia.

    That's true. Some of that loathing even reflects onto Jarizok as his avatar is similar enough to make me see red.

    So, what are we going to do? Are we going to mass tag?

    I think that's the last step before we have to try rearranging the queue, yeah. Mass tag people who haven't already clearly opted out or signed on, then move on if the interest isn't here at the moment.

    Either this game is shifted back in the lineup and the next fills, or the interest isn't there for mafia period right now, and we just wait on that to change.

    FWIW, I'm not interested in another game at this point, so please do not tag me.

    Going to give signups a few days and we'll see where we're at.

    Sometimes a game doesn't fire. Be it the setup, the mod, or just the timing (a lot of people busy), these things happen.

    I can't host my WH for a few weeks yet, thought I'd have some time with another game in between.
