General Queue Information
Forum Rules and Guidelines

New players will probably want to start playing one game here before playing elsewhere on the site.

Reply in this thread indicating that you'd like to play ("/in for next" is a standard way of doing so).

You will get a PM from your game moderator when your game is about to begin.

Your name should be added to the first post within 24-48 hours. The waiting time for a game to start is currently 2-3 days, on average. Upcoming games will be full when there is one Inexperience-Challenged (IC) player, two Semi-Experienced (SE) player(s), and six Newbie players available. More/less ICs and SEs may be used in any given game to relieve a backlog on those specific areas of the Queue.

Player Requirements:

For purposes of Player Game Limits:

A
finished
game is one in which you are out of the game (by lynch or night kill) but the game is still being played by others.
A
completed
game is a game in which a winning side has been declared and the game is over.
For purposes of quantifying eligible completed games, two completed micro games will count as one completed game in another queue.
Replacing out of a game will count as a finished game if there was an acceptable level of participation.

Taking on too many Newbie games at one time, getting overloaded, and replacing out of those games can get you banned from the Newbie Queue!

Spoiler: SEs

Spoiler: ICs

Spoiler: Replacements

Spoiler: Alts

Any player is, of course, welcome to join other Game Queues as they feel ready...

Moderator Requirements:

Potential moderators must have one completed game on this site as a Moderator. See the Modding Requirements wiki article for exact details.
Potential moderators MUST visit the Newbie_Game#Moderators wiki page to see what is required of Newbie game Mods.
Potential moderators must include links to their completed games
when they make the request to be added to the modding rotation
. If you have more than two games as a Mod, please link the latest two.
For purposes of quantifying eligible completed games, three completed micro games will count as one completed game in another queue.

Newbie Setup

Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):

	A	B	C
1	Town Jailkeeper	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
2	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Cop	Town Doctor
3	Town 1-shot Bulletproof	Mafia Goon	Town Tracker

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates either one row or one column. The remaining six roles will be filled in by mafia goons and vanilla townies appropriately, to create a 2-mafia and 7-town setup. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons.

All Newbie games should use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects. Roleblocker actions will take precedence over Jailkeeper actions should that apply.

As has been previously discussed, we have FINALLY implemented the numerous amounts of changes we've discussed in the past year. Included in these changes are:

updating the format of the OP so it's cleaner, and easier to read through for any relevant information
changing the requirements for SEs from two completed games anywhere, to three completed games with one being from outside of The Road to Rome
changing the requirements for ICs from five completed games anywhere, to five completed games with at least two being from outside of The Road to Rome
newbie games will now have five newbies, three SEs, and one IC
updating the newbie setup to reflect the Matrix6 format, with one of six options that I'll be randomizing, as shown below:

1. town jailkeeper, vanilla townie, mafia goon
2. mafia roleblocker, town cop, town doctor
3. town 1-shot bulletproof, mafia goon, town tracker
4. town jailkeeper, mafia roleblocker, town 1-shot bulletproof
5. vanilla townie, town cop, mafia goon
6. mafia goon, town doctor, town tracker

Wiki entries for the completed games and Matrix6 have been updated accordingly. The link to the Newbie Information on the wiki will be updated shortly. Wooooo!

Reposting but still needed:

I need a replacement for Fropome in Newbie 1359 (D2, 19 pages)

Newbie slot so anyone besides a newbie currently in his or her first game can replace in. Thanks.

Spoiler:

but in all seriousness, singer: should there be some notification about the slight changes to the SE/IC requirements? or maybe I'm just behind with the times...but they say something I don't remember from before, about "at least this many games outside The Road to Rome", that some people might need their attention drawn to (not jmo, I'm just saying in general)
