You just do whatever you feel like, call it mathematically balanced, and because he's not good at math he won't notice the difference. :)

Okay, a serious reply, then.

I'm interested in playing, but it depends on when.

I could help with Balance if that's needed, but there's no way I have time to play or mod.

Also, Mal, to be fair we did have spam in the games of yore too. It was just relegated to the night period.

Actually, in order to make this work I think you'd need a pretty clear definition of what constitutes spam. The basic premise of mafia is that you're in a life or Death situation, true. However that does not preclude the participants from discussing issues not directly tied to that situation. As long as posting is done in character I see no reason why talk with no content is bad. If anything it'd be the natural reaction for many in that kind of scenario.

Fair point Morgy. I will agree with you, special emphasis on 'in character'.

And I'd be pleased to have your advise re: balance :)

So ehm, is this going to run as 117, or is this a game next to other games (and if so, then what about mod-alts, SH et cetera), or is it going on the mod-list to be ran in the future?
Also, who is going to make and mod it, if Malaclypse doesn't have the mathematical background he seeks?


I don't know re: timing, have to secure enough interest first - can I get back to you on that please?

You drastically underestimate our addictions.

no. I've ran two games. I wish I could say they failed spectacularly or even miserably. They didn't do that well.

Nobody wants to help pave the way for your ego to overwhelm the known universe with spores; it's a slogging war of attrition, you see, that requires all the resources we can muster


It's just so big and swollen, like a pumpkin that has been festering in a swamp bog only to be placed in the direct sunlight until the caress of a gnat's proboscis can cause it to explode. flinging putrid spongy gobbets of sickly yellow and orange stench about the encampment.

Only then can we be free
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

You know what?

Morgy got me thinking and maybe to make it easier we can do it altless so ppl can spam all they like.

You should still lynch those that don't contribute in any meaningful way and you can be as prejudiced as you like

Also would mean it would be easier to fit it in alongside whatever other games are planned

I would be interested in an alt-less game, but I will always be a low poster, so if that is a problem, I will sit out.

I think if you try to run this concurrently with another game, one or the other could suffer for it.

A relatively serious altless game? Sure, I may give that a crack.
