to be fair, it's not usually a mod who provides how big or small a game is.

Mafia on the Metro

(Source: Los Angeles County MTA)

You've played Mafia in all sorts of places. Left villages in ruins, ransacked game tables, destroyed computer systems,

partied

nuked the planet to near-permanent radioactivity... But have you ever tried lynching someone on a moving train? Set in Los Angeles, this game will feature public transportation like you've never seen it before.

Now taking up to

4 reservations for spots on an upcoming midnight subway car out of Union Station!

Fine print:

• The game has been reviewed for balance and Normalcy.
  Days will run for 14 days and Nights for 2 days.
  Players have 48 hours to post and 48 hours to answer their prods.
  No hydras, please.

Spoiler: Rules

Rules

All rules listed in the Boilerplate Game Rules (rev. May 14, 2013) page apply to this game except where contradicted in the additional rules below:

1. Do not use
   #BF0000
   . All other formatting is fair game.
2. Days will have a deadline of two weeks, and Nights will last 48 hours. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
3. Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond in the game thread before a replacement is sought. Saturday and Sunday will be considered a 24-hour period for purposes of activity.
4. Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline or there is a majority of votes for No Lynch, the Day will end without a lynch. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
5. All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to talk in twilight phase until the thread is locked, at which point Day ends. Dead players may not post until the game has been officially declared over; no "Bah!" posts.
6. Actions not received by deadline will be considered forfeit. Actions may be submitted ahead of time and can be changed as many times as desired; at deadline, the last action that was submitted will be used. Actions may be submitted by any means where I can be contacted.
7. All actions will be processed according to Natural Action Resolution.
8. Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
9. Any situations not covered above will be handled on an individual basis. I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary.

DANGAN RONPA MAFIA (coming soon to mini theme!!)

Thirteen super talented high school students plus one sadistic teddy bear is a recipe for success. Look at those accusatory glares. You know you want to pre-in.

More info:
13 players, closed setup, no bastard modding, no hydras please. Up to three pre-ins are allowed. Passingly reviewed by Nikanor. Days are 14 days, nights are 48 hours.

Spoiler: Rules (verbatim)

GENERAL RULES:
1. All general forum rules apply.
2. Don't directly quote any PM you receive from the mod.
3. Don't personally insult anyone you're playing with.
4. You can talk about meta from finished games but NOT ongoing games.
5. Don't pretend to be me. (why though??? why would anyone do that)

If any of the above rules are broken, I will post a GIF of Nic Cage shouting in despair – consider this a warning. Break them again and you will be replaced.

STUFF ABOUT THE GAME:
1. If you don't post for approximately two days, I will prod you and will start looking for a replacement if you don't respond in another 24 hours.
2. Three prods and you're out. Committed players are exactly what we need here.
3. If you're going to be V/LA then please post in thread so I know you are going to be away.
4. Day time will last two weeks max; night time will last two days unless someone asks for it to be longer to which I will grant only one one-day extension.
5. Vote with the bold or vote tag. Unvoting is NOT required when SWITCHING votes.
6. A lynch occurs when more than half the players have voted for the same person. After that, no one may change their vote.
7. No role may take more than one action in a single night, unless a mafia power role is the last member of his or her team alive. In that case, that player may use the factional kill and their power role ability on the same night.
8. If we don't get a majority before deadline then we will have a no-lynch.
9. After you're dead, please do not post in the thread until the game is over. (There's going to be a great QT which you can post in though.)
10. I will use the color fuchsia. Please don't use the color fuchsia as well.
11. There's probably only going to be one vote-count every 24 hours, so just a heads-up.
12. If you have a question or anything of the sort, bold it in thread or PM me and I will be happy to respond.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

It's his third year, and the most shenanigan filled one yet. Blowing up his aunt, riding the Knight Bus, seeing a Grim, playing Quidditch, getting a crush, finding out a mental person wants to kill him, dementors, werewolves AND MAGIC!

Players: 20
Pre-ins left: 13
No cults. No bastard modding. No jesters.
I will be selective in who I let in. If you have ever flaked from one of my games, or I just plain don't like you, you're not getting in. Hydras may be allowed, but only public ones.

Game Type:

Large Normal

Number of Players:

19

Start Date:

Not sure how long it takes to get through the Large Normal queue. Would expect to be ready for signups by May?

Length:

I am expecting this game to have a maximum length of around 3 weeks to a month.

Other info. Day phases will be 4 days. 5 if the day phase rolls through a weekend. Prod cycle will be 24/12. Night will last 24 hours. Ruleset will be modified from this form. (Deadline and activity requirements will be different. Rest of rules will be tweaked.)

This game will be run with activity requirements such that having an inactive playerslot is unacceptable. I will make attempts to replace slots as necessary but any slot that remains inactive for a time period equivalent to one day and night cycle will be modkilled. (5-6 days.) For this reason, consider whether or not you will be able to fulfill a commitment to play this game from start to finish.

To that end, I'm requiring IC status to sign up for this game with a relatively good record of finishing games. If you have SE status, PM me with a record of your completed games and you may be accepted into the game as well.

I will confirm that there's no pre-in limit with Tierce, but for now will adhere to the 50% pre-in rule and allow 9 pre-ins at most.

No hydras please.

Ikaruga Mafia

A 22 player game featuring a unique polarity mechanic. Each night, each player can switch their polarity from Light to Dark, or vice versa (unless told otherwise). Any night actions they perform will be the same polarity as the one they choose. If that action targets a player of the opposite polarity, then the action goes through. If it targets a player of the same polarity, then the action is absorbed and blocked. Note: Polarities are not the same as alignments, so there will be no alignment changes in this game. As you might imagine, this game will be swingy, as successful actions rely on choosing correctly. As such, it is recommended that you have played at least one large theme game.

There are 6 pre-ins left. PM me if interested.

Coming Soon...a new mini:

During the middle of the second age, in the fires of Mount Doom was forged a ring. That ring was malevolent - and
powerful as no other object; and wielding it, the Necromancer - Sauron - was almost too powerful to fight against.

It is now the third age of Middle Earth. The free peoples of Middle Earth are on a quest to destroy this ring - but
the enemy forces will not rest to prevent that.

Will they succeed?

Presented to you a game featuring:

• Special and unique mechanics
  
• Interesting flavor

Prison Break Mafia

- Are you a fan of the series Prison Break?
- Maybe you're a fan of Wentworth Miller and his devilishly handsome tattoos?
- Are you a fan of great first seasons and disappointing finishes?
- Maybe you just like me?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, then Prison Break Mafia sounds like it would be excellent for you! Currently in the mini theme queue, this is a 13 player game based on Prison Break, the tv series that showed promise and in the end, disappointed all!*

6 pre-in slots available. Ensure you don't miss a spot in Fox River now!

*Cannot guarantee this game will not reflect the series, and not disappoint either. No wait, it definitely won't!

Arcadia Act I

Arcadia, home of the infinitely powerful Fae. Governed by the Queen and her Regents--those exceptional Fae who have excelled such a mastery in something that they became the living embodiment of it--the city has remained hidden from the lesser races and the many multiverses beyond since time memorial...but amongst the Fae, trickery is commonplace and to their limitless lives, plots can span aeons...

B_E's Mind Mafia

This setup was just finished in my mind. It hasn't even been reviewed yet!!!!!!! It's like 1000000000000th in the mini normal queue!

But I'm impatient, therefore posting this now.

Play as the convoluted and terrible mind of Burning_Earth. Will B_E continue succumbing to his mafia and mtg addiction? Will he become a drug addict, breaking the law and being a demented wreck? Will he actually DO WELL AT SCHOOL, as he used to to before he got into uh, this mafia thing? Well, the only way to find out if B_E will stop his terrible mafia addiction... is to play a mafia game about it . Play B_E's Mind Mafia, expected to run in two million years.

Think drawing vanilla will stop you from having a night action? NOT SO.

Now accepting pre-/ins. Hydras are welcome (as long as they have only 2 heads).

I'm not entirely sure whether it's the right thing to post in here, but I have a Large Normal that's been in signups for a month and is only about half full, so it could really use more players. One more hydra is allowed, and it can't have more than 2 heads.

SUBURBAN WARFARE MAFIA

moderated by: xRECKONERx
backup moderator: InflatablePie
reviewed by: Faraday, AngryPidgeon, zoraster, InflatablePie

In the quiet suburb of Wakeflower, things get pretty intense. When the yearly parade of homes comes through, some housewives get downright vicious in their competition with the other "bitches", as they call them. When barbecue and bloc party season is on the horizon, some families drop thousands of dollars on fancy new solar-powered grills and bigger, deeper pools in order to one-up their neighbors. But when Jim Furley (the 66-year old bachelor who ran the Homeowner's Association for years) was found dead at the entrance to the subdivision, everything changed. Now, the question is... can these snotty families put aside their differences long enough to solve the murder? Or will their own hatred and vitriol consume them?

GAME INFORMATION

• Neighborhoods
  : The game will be for 16 players, divided into four "neighborhoods", representing the four culdesacs on which the players reside (Oak Court, Pine Street, Cedar Street, Maple Court). These four-player neighborhoods will have night talk.
  
• Role Mechanics
  : While you
  may
  see a smattering of traditional-use roles, there will be at least
  some
  roles in the game that utilize the neighborhood mechanics in an interesting way. (IE, may target an entire neighborhood with an ability, etc)
  
• Power Roles
  : This game is effectively vanillaless. There are no "vanilla townie" roles in the game, and every role will have at
  least
  one ability (passive or active).
  
• Balance
  : As is, the setup is mostly balanced. However, as is the norm with mechanics-heavy, vanillaless games, it's impossible to stretch out every possibility and have it be balanced. This game will be mighty swingy, however, it's not
  breakable
  by any means.
  
• Setup Information
  : This is not multiball. There is one scum team of 4, and one town team of 12.
  
• Flavor
  : Flavor was implemented after-the-fact, as this game was designed mechanically and then had flavor applied to the mechanics. Flavor won't be overtly offensive (a la Gay Mafia), but will probably feature some curse words and adult content.

I have

8

pre-in slots available.
