A quick suggestion:
Since I've already played mafia on a forum that excels at this (20+ seasons), it's really better to make a separate thread for each day and each voting. Close treads after day/voting ends, it's in fact easier to find them in the closed forum than in general, besides, no mess ups. |

I agree that confirmations from player would be nice...
If they wouldn't even confirm it is already a good sign they will go inactive. |

That is what Tracil did also. One of the players suggested using different Blog pages for each day/night instead.Last edit: 2008-03-14 06:09:35 |

| That probably isn't a very good idea to counter those on the brink of inactiveness tho. They are much more likely to check a huge ass thread where they can find all the info at once, rather than looking for some odd places in blogs or closed threads. |

That's one of the things that I really really liked about Tracil's version. It seems like it'd be so much easier to find specific posts if the days and nights were broken up into different threads rather than having to sort through 200+ pages of posts. In a way the days and nights were broken up by having the day/night posts linked on the first page, but still...having that many pages seems like a pretty daunting task when looking for specific posts.
Mynock has a pretty good point, however if someone's unwilling to lurk through a couple of threads, it seems doubtful that he'd be that much more willing to look through one huge ass thread.Last edit: 2008-03-14 06:44:54 |

| I like the one big thread idea with linking to important posts: multiple threads for a game of this size would just make some players go inactive if they were barely participating anyway. Last edit: 2008-03-14 06:53:25 |

| I could have sworn that I suggested breaking the thread apart by days in the first mafia thread. I guess nobody cared then :-/ |

| Seems to me that linking to each day/night post in the OP is effectively just as good. |

I honestly think it would be better for all the signed-up people to send a confirmation in. There were quite some inactives last time around as well, and with a lot of people signing up mid-game they might have forgotten all about it (it has been 2-3 weeks already for some).
So I believe some sort of activity confirmation is necessary.
Probably in the form of sending out the roles, and if one does not confirm their acknowledgment of the role within 48 hrs they should be removed and the role given to someone else.
However it's even better to just send a PM to everyone before the game and only leave them in for the role distributions if they reply affirmatively.
Agreed, and that is exactly what Tracil and his assistant did. Although 110+ PM's is quit e a number.
We could just confirm our role by typing something like this in the subject bar: #.name:confirmed
when pming, that would ease the amount of work, although that still a lot of names to go through.
Edit: Actually, to help organize the list, you can type in alphabetizer in google. I just used it to alphabetize the current list. ( I just had to delete # in the front).Last edit: 2008-03-14 07:53:48 |

I'm also running for mayor.
Why you should vote for me:
I have nothing better to do and will try to be the first person to vote. That means double lynching galore.
I'm also random, so even if I was mafiaso I wouldn't care what I do. |
