Help
Will whoever is modding the next few normalish games mind having me tag along. Want to test the MafiaManager website I made (if you havent heard of it yet check my sig) so I'll need to be part of the mod team up till the point where I know I wont have to do tech support on games that I might be playing.
Also, I spoke about this earlier but noone replied - has anyone read the mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson. I thought of one or two really cool mechanics based of the books, but I'm struggling to make it look anything like balanced.

I read the first two as well.
one of the most original magic systems I have read, but making a game out of it might be hard.

I disagree.
the mod's job, imo, is to create a set up that's both fun, and gives all sides equal chances of winning.

Compromise - games are more fun when they're balanced

lol, well, yeah, normal hgames, you can't do much.
but if you are making up a new set up, I feel its important to try to ensure that all teams get a fair chance, and that means no team should be reliant on a single power role.

updated the list,
after Tapper's game, we have a slotted full-sized simple meat and potatoes game (that some have been pining for), but no one actually's stepped up to run it.
Alternatively, I can run my game. it's about 6-8, but essentially it's town v. multiple teams of scum. everyone's roled but about half the roles are passive, so it should play pretty much as normal game would, i'm trying to keep it simple if posible.
the issue here being that in the end of April I go home from Uni, and I have no clue how much net time i'd have to run the game from now till... well, end of summer at least.
if most people really want a TMDI 1-2, i'll shelve my game till better times.
if not, i'm ready to start as soon as Tapper's mini ends. A euro co-mod would be nice, but if not, I think I can manage on my own untill someone dies.

I can setup a meat and potatoes game, but I can't mod it as I will be going on vacation next week.

I demand a meat and potatoes game! High complexity games should be between meat and potatoes, not the other way around..
And I agree with Ment. All factions should have an equal chance of winning at the outset

You missed out my Merc mini thing. Although after discussing with Tapper, we decided it was probably better as a full game than as a mini. It will be Alliances themed.
