Done before I believe TBM

[TheButtonmen]

Tarnations; Nothing new under the sun I guess. Back to the drawing board!

[Netopalis]

Coming this summer (if I can get everything together in time)....

This game! (Click the link!)

[Maemuki]

Please tell me that nobody has made a Twilight Princess and/or Wind Waker Mafia.

It's still going to take some time though, so I was wondering if anybody would be interested...

Neither of those have been done.
I think I would vastly prefer Wind Waker Mafia tbh; I don't think I actually remember anyone from Twilight Princess because I was too busy loathing the game for the first half.

OKAY GUYS I HAVE AN IDEA AND A CURSORY SEARCH (ALBEIT WITH GOOGLE SINCE THE FORUM'S SEARCH FEATURE IS DISABLED FOR PERFORMANCE) HAS NOT REVEALED PREVIOUS IMPLEMENTATION OR DISCUSSION OF THIS PLAN.

CAPS LOCK MAIFA.

THAT'S RIGHT. ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, ALL THE TIME.

I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR TWO KEY REASONS. FIRSTLY AS THE PLAYERS IN THE GAME GET HABITUATED TO CAPS LOCK THEY WOULD SAY THINGS THAT SOUND REASONABLE IN THE GAME BUT WOULD BE ABSURD TO PLAYERS LINKED TO ONLY A SINGLE POST (E.G, YELLING 'EVERYONE I THINK THIS PLAYER IS TOWN SO PERHAPS WE SHOULD REDIRECT OUR QUESTIONING.') THIS WOULD MAKE CAPS LOCK MAFIA A COMEDY GOLD MINE.

SECONDLY, ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, I BELIEVE IT WOULD CHANGE THE VERY DYNAMIC OF THE GAME. WALLPOSTING AND LOGICAL CASES THAT RELY ON LOOKING COLLECTED AND COHERENT WOULD SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THIS POSTING RESTRICTION. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MANY PLAYERS WOULD UNCONSCIOUSLY GRAVITATE TO MORE ONE-LINER POSTS AND SHORT, PITHY RESPONSES. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE A PLAYER MIX WITH SOME WHO ALREADY DO THIS AND SOME WHO HAVE A META OF CASES AND WALL POSTING TO SEE WHAT THE TOWN DYNAMIC ENDS UP BEING.

SO YEAH WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

P.S YES YOU MUST USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS WHEN YOU ARE SO MUCH AS DISCUSSING CAPS LOCK MAIFA, I AM SORRY BUT THOSE ARE JUST THE RULES.

P.P.S THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO CAPS LOCK MAFIA IS IF Vi IS THERE AND YOU ARE TYPING HER NAME BECAUSE OTHERWISE SHE WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO DAYKILL EVERY PLAYER, EVERY POST.

[shaft.ed]

1) your sig isn't in caps

2) everyone would just habituate to caps. if anything it'll just make people post in caps by accident in the discussion forums

[Ellibereth]

I WOULD JOIN THAT AS A MEMBER OF THE FORMER MENTIONED GROUP.

[Wacky]

Would there be interest in a GFC themed mafia game?

[Phate]

Would there be interest in a GFC themed mafia game?

meh. Global financial crises are played out.

I'D PLAY THIS I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT.

[animorpherv1]

Anyone up for Olympic Mafia and/or Annoying People Mafia?

Olympic Mafia: Everyone would represent a sport, and some sports want to retract from the Olympics. Could be either a Mini or a Large, and will probbaly be semi-open.

Annoying People: Simple. [insert # here] of annoying people meet one day at [insert place here] and start to get annoyned by everyone else. I'm thinking this would be a closed mini.

[Phaen]

CAPS LOCK MAFIA SOUNDS INTRIGUING AND HILARIOUS

[RayFrost]

I ENDORSE THIS PRODUCT

[Netopalis]

I WOULD BE WILLING TO OFFER MY RIDICULOUSLY CONVOLUTED AND OFTEN WRONG, YET HIGHLY LOGICAL ARGUMENTS AND CASES TO CAPS LOCK MAFIA. I BELIEVE THAT IT COULD BE AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE, AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT HAPPENS WITH IT. IT IS ALSO AWESOME IN THE SENSE THAT IT REMINDS ME OF "DINOSAUR COMICS" BY RYAN NORTH.

EDIT TO ADD: THIS WILL ALSO GO AMAZINGLY WELL WITH MY SIG!

[Brandi]

OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT IDEA. CAPS LOCK IS MY BESTEST FRIEND.

[Glork]

POKEY THE PENGUIN IS THE SUPERIOR CAPSLOCK COMIC.

[Drench]

I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT CAPS LOCK MAFIA WOULD BE THE FIRST GAME IN YONKS I WOULD NOT FLAKE FROM IF IT WERE TO COME ABOUT. I WANT THIS GAME.

ALSO IF Vi COULD JOIN THAT WOULD BE GREAT. SOMEONE TELL Vi ABOUT IT SO Vi CAN JOIN. ALSO WE NEED TO FIND OUT Vi'S GENDER PLEASE.

in other news House M.D. y/n

THERE YOU ARE! COULD YOU PLEASE /IN FOR ALL CAPS MAFIA IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN? THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. THANK YOU.

ON FURTHER REVIEW I CANNOT RUN THEME GAMES BECAUSE I HAVEN'T MODDED, BUT IF A SIMPLE POSTING RESTRICTION IS TAME ENOUGH THAT I CAN STILL CALL THIS GAME A 'MINI NORMAL' I CAN GET /IN THE MOD QUEUE RIGHT NOW. IF NOT SOMEONE ELSE WILL NEED TO MOD THIS. OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION WOULD BE AWESOME ON THIS POINT.

ALSO NETO, YEAH, I'M KIND OF GOING FOR A DINOSAUR COMICS VIBE, IT'S COOL THAT YOU CAUGHT THAT.

OH, AND IF THE GAME FILLS WITH PRE-IN'S, DO I STILL NEED TO WAIT FOR THE QUEUE? I IMAGINE SO BUT IT'D BE REALLY COOL IF WE COULD JUST ROCK OUT AND GO.

Talk to MeMe (or perhaps Thesp, since he's reviewing Normals). Generally post restrictions are not sufficient to kick it out of Normal, but they have final say.

OH, AND IF THE GAME FILLS WITH PRE-IN'S, DO I STILL NEED TO WAIT FOR THE QUEUE? I IMAGINE SO BUT IT'D BE REALLY COOL IF WE COULD JUST ROCK OUT AND GO.

You must sign up for the Queue to run a game.

When your name gets to the top of the list

, you can start the game, whether that's with pre-ins or new signups or something in between. You

cannot

jump the line just by having 12 pre-ins. It just saves you a week or so of signups, and usually means your players are less likely to flake on you.

[Ellibereth]

CAN WE JUST FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN MOD A LARGE THEME?

[Drench]

I THINK I CAN RUN LARGE GAMES, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK THE RESTRICTIONS FIRST. BE RIGHT BACK.

[Drench]

I MAY BE ABLE TO RUN IT AS A THEME, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHETHER 'NO MODDING PROBLEMS' APPLIES TO THE TWO QUALIFIERS OR THE UMBRELLA OF YOUR HISTORY.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE GO FROM HERE, BUT YEAH. IF WE CAN MAKE IT LARGE NORMAL, IT WORKS OUT GREAT. ALTHOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY MYSELF.

WE SHOULD MAKE A NEW (QUICK)TOPIC ABOUT THIS SO WE STOP CLUTTERING UP THE THREAD.
