no deadlines mafia [full at last]

I've made a small change to the sample role PM in the spoilered rules -- the win condition for that role was copied and pasted from a game with an open setup with only two factions, so the wording is slightly different now.

this should be rather fun

[Alisae]

It'd be really cool if all the roles dealt with time/deadlines in some way
But Xyzzy isn't a madman like me.

oof

[Varsoon]

I learned quick
Not to expect every mod
to have lost their damn minds.

Oh boy that’s a blast from the past
Hi lightganski!

[Varsoon]

Whyyy does this have to be a 24 player game?

[Shoshin]

Suddenly in too many games.

Please reserve a spot for Purrcocet, thanks.

NM, I just saw she outted. :/

[Varsoon]

You shouldn't put so much faith in Shoshin.
Also not sure if this game will fill with no hydras and 24 slots.
It's a tall order.

Have you reviewed Labrynth? Anyway, I would 100% /in as a hydra but the mod is opposed to that. \_0_/

unless you want me out

[Varsoon]

Labyrinth was a fluke, imo.

And filling 21+ player games with no hydras is a rough time.
It could happen but we'd have to really push up the advertising for the game maybe
Try to reach out to friends who'd want to play.
Even then the no deadline thing might put people off from it.

I'm curious what the numbers are, though, on how many users regularly are in each queue.

[Varsoon]

Large theme game queue seems like it's got a good regular 60 or so, but maybe I'm wildin

[Shoshin]

Jeez, Varsoon. You really hate me, huh?

My record speaks for itself and it's not just Labyrinth. In my initial newbie game, I called scumteam on D1 and was named MVP. In American Presidents, I called scumteam on D2 after which I was nightkilled. Town went on to win. I played a key role in winning Supp Mafia, pushing lynches on scum from D2 to the last day phase, when we won. I lynched scum in the recent Epic game, after which scum used their sole kill in the whole game on me. I've won all my town games on this site except the one that you were in, where again I told you not to mislynch Irrelephant (you did), told town not to mislynch Reck (they did), and then got screwed by Nos trolling.

You really need to get over yourself.

[Shoshin]

Nancy, I appreciate you defending me against Varsoon. If you want to play a game with me, I'm planning to sign up for a game with RC at some point in the near future. I'll let you know when.

I don’t want to get in the middle of this but yeah, I know better now, then to disregard your reads, so please let le know.

Sounds like fun.

Varsoon has really great games as well and I hope I’m still on his automatic PM pre-in list.

[Varsoon]

I don't hate you, I just find the faith people put into your town play to be unrealistic.
You can keep offering yourself up as some infallible perfect town player, but it's really not the case.
Like, cool, you won some games. Don't let that confidence get to your head. Focus on getting better.
I'd suggest trying to be more personable and easy to work with.

Like, check it, here all I said was not to put so much faith in you, and when pointed to labyrinth (for the fourth time now as if it's proof you're infallible), I said it was a fluke.
Don't see how that merits you thinking I hate you (I don't, you're aight) or that I need to 'get over myself'. I certainly don't think I'm any better of a player than you--I've got a much worse track record on-site. I also don't think I'm morally superior to you or anything else.

You're just a person I vaguely know online. Again, I'd like for you to work out the rougher parts of your play and, generally, be an easier player to engage with, because those are the things keeping me from fully enjoying playing games with you, which is the primary mode that I'll likely be engaging with you on this site. I think that if you were to work on these suggestions, you'd not just grow to be a much better player, but you'd also be more fun for others to play with as well, which would improve site morale. In general, I find very cynical players who consider themselves beyond reproach to be a negative force for this site--the most player-oriented replace-outs that I have seen have been due to players like that clashing with other players. As a moderator and a player, I'd like to avoid those sorts of conflicts and work towards a user meta that doesn't stoke the ego of folks like that. I'm sorry if my comments have come off as contentious; I don't intend them that way.

Spoiler: On RC

You mentioned RC, which is a pretty good example;
I find RC to be one of the most difficult players to play with on-site. I still play games with RC. I still am very happy to have RC in my games. I've still enjoyed playing games RC's run. I think RC's probably a fine person.
Does RC put forth an effort that helps town win games? Absolutely. Probably more than I ever have.
That said, I've almost never seen RC own up to a legitimate mistake they've made and I've seen plenty of games where people got very frustrated with RC, who refused to compromise in their own egotistic approach to play.
I've seen players avoid RC and replace out of games because of how unapollogetically abrasive and self-centered RC can be.
I just don't think that RC's approach to play does RC any favors and I take literally any chance that I get to turn people off of taking poor advice from RC.
RC could be one of the outright best players on the site if they were able to do something about this, but I've never seen them put forth any effort to even address that they have a problem.
In a lot of ways, I'm worried that you're headed down the same route.
There's more to playing games than winning them, is all.

I also don't mean for this signup thread to be a place of drama.
If you want to argue with me about something, feel free to hit me up in a PM.
If you disagree here, that's cool too, but the point of this thread is signups and I think I've already posted enough off-topic as is.
