As mentioned elsewhere, I'll go for 10 players who weren't in game 2, and the remaining 10 will be decided by ballot, so get your name in. New game will probably start Monday next week.

Also give me feedback about the rule setup

I'd quite like to play, please Mr Comical sir.

I've been practising:

Me! again!

I should note that myoptika PM'd me greatly in advance to get his shoe in the door, so that's 8 non-game 2 slots remaining.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Tue Jun 17, 2008 21:27

I'd like to play, too. I like the new roles.

I'll go again, but I'd be willing to sit it out if there's too many.

Damn, first time I see the sign-up thread in time but I'm leaving for Glastonbury next Wednesday so can't do it. Ah well, hopefully I'll be back in time for sign-ups for the next next one.

Oi'd like to play, if there's any free spots.

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5016

I don't want to play this game, it looks even crapper than the last one. Which was crap.

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Jun 17, 2008 22:57

Yeah, I'll go in for any free spots for game-2 players please Mr. Comical sir. At least this time I won't be able to tirelessly try and lynch you

vegetables · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 354

I'll sit this one out, I think. Too much mafia in one go is a drain.

You've forgotten to make your game claimproof, Mr. Gnomes. That could potentially break it.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jun 17, 2008 23:52

Me please.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Tue Jun 17, 2008 23:55

Depends. Do I get to post in the dead peoples thread if I don't play?

I don't agree with Pundabaya's sentiments or tone, but I am really concerned about this setup; I'm pretty confident that it isn't balanced.

GazChap · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 0:21

I have to admit, the townies do seem to be unusually high-powered this time around. As does the Serial Killer.

What is this 'claimproof'?

Making it so that the game can't be broken by a mass claim of roles, where all the members of the town declare what they are. Even if the doctors and vigilante pretend to be townies, I think they could confirm 6 of their number on day 1 before having only claimed townies to vote against. In this game non-town has no choice if a claim is forced but to claim town or try and counter-claim a townie, which puts them at a bit of a disadvantage.

vegetables · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 354

Furthermore, this strategy gets more and more powerful the fewer townies there are, so gets stronger the longer the game goes on. This combined with the cult knowing who's likely not town means the mafia have little hope of winning, I think.

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5016

If all the townie speshulz declare on day one, then that leaves it 5:6 Townies to bad men ratio, and also supplies the speshulz with a 9 man voting block.

From there they can simply eliminate everyone else on the list.

sinister agent · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 7046

Hmm. I think there's too much role-knowing for this to be fair on the mob. If the townies were less mental than before, they'd probably wipe the floor with everyone.

kalmar · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 9:47

I shall also want play pls.

Also, please leave out the cult element if poss, I think it's jumping in the deep end a bit.

I've removed the cult from my game, which should be game five. It's mostly a straight mafia vs town game, but there are three possible roles who have individual win conditions. And there are also a couple of new roles, which if they survive for a few days could prove very useful to the townies.

I actually made loads of new classes with special rules, but I'm stripping them out one by one.

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 10:38

I'd like to play if there are any free slots.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Presumably if someone applies who didn't play game 2, they're welcome to go into the ballot?

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

I'll sit this one out as I'm unlikely to have enought time for it - I'm going ot be busy next week when I'm back at work. The game after I'd be available for, though. However:

On past history, that's a mahoosive "if"!

myp · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 13:55

It'll give you time to brush up on the rules, as well.

Wrong way round. If you played in game 2 you go into the ballot. If not, you're guaranteed a slot (up to 10 slots, after which you go into the ballot).

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 13:57

The first ten are in, then so far there are only seven, if that seven goes over ten they are balloted.

And there's already 10 numbnuts.

Yes, I know. I added the last one myself, numbnuts.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Yes? BEFORE I posted my one, let alone your reply.

When I posted the question, all the guaranteed spots were full, hence the question.

The management reserves the right to change the rules at any time and without prior notice, even if this includes making things up on the spot in order to defy you.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Heh! Good job I'm sitting this one out then.

Good on you for running this as well, and I shall watch with interest.

Also to ignore your every protestation and have you thrown off a cliff anyway.

Indeed. It's nice for your dying words to be proven entirely 100% correct, mind.

Be Excellent To Each Other
