Speaking of which, what's the status of the panel of authorized reviewers? While there are certainly many active ones remaining, Bateleur has recently retired, and Puzzle, Hawkeye, Ljustus, and Hvirfilvindr haven't been in a game for six months or more. Are these folks still actively reviewing? If not, should some other folks take their places?

*nods* I certainly would not object to adding more capable moderators to the rolls. Now would be a good time to update it.
Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
While I am now, at least for now, retired from playing, I fully intend to take my turn to mod, which is coming up soon (in stereo, there will be overlap between my specialty and normal... I'm fine with postponing one of them if we don't want me modding 2 games at once). Someone PM me if my turn comes up and I don't notice due to not checking so regularly.
Incidentally, it seems likely that my turn to mod IS going to overlap with the 2 weeks in January/February I will be overseas, so I will need a temporary back-up mod for that time I guess. We'll take that hurdle once we see who's in and who's not in my game.
I am nominating Wrath of Dog for the probation list. As mafia, he vanished from the game as soon as heavy pressure was put on him. Then, he failed to respond to my prod PM in any way despite being online to receive it.

With Harry Potter and Hamlet done, we're currently due for a Normal and a Mini to start up.
Can someone PM whoever is up?

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
Soooo someone want to PM for the mini: ZasZ234 (On Hold)
Wuffles
SorryGuy
Zchinque
Zaz is listed on hold, Wuffles i haven't seen lately, sorryguy's basically stopped playing mafia, and Zchinque is probably the most active.
In other words, why doesn't someone PM all of them to get ready?
I'm in ZERO mafia games atm for the first time in a long time. I'm in withdrawal.

I have a question - for the new year and christmas, does mafia stop here during that time period? In other words, I am going to Florida for this time, and I'm wondering if games are put on hold for this week or so, or if I will find myself replaced.

Sadly the answer is no.
The thing to do is pm your mods about the situation and explain it. Perhaps they won't need you to be replaced, perhaps they will (and perhaps they can find someone to replace for like a week if they're willing...unlikely, but possible).
Make sure to keep your mod informed though.

If you can get even sporadic internet access (once every couple days) for quick reads and posts you'd probably be fine. Letting the mod know ahead of time is important, but if you can guarantee you will be posting again after a week of absence it is often the same effect as a replacement (given 3 days for prod, 1 day for lack of response, 1-2 days to find replacement, 1-2 days for replacement to catch up).

Done. I asked them to check in on the status of their games. If none of them are ready, we'll either bump them down or drop them, and move on to DragonDart.
Yeah, I will get the chance to go on the internet every couple days or so.
I think I'm gone from the 29 to 10, so I suppose if I can get on every 3-4 days it should be fine. I'll start letting my mods know closer to the time - maybe games will end or I'll be dead before I leave.
Mods are traditionally pretty open to allowing the game to be slow over Christmas/New Year. There's not a lot of point in trying to replace someone for a week or two over that time.
Excellent. Signups will be opening within the next couple of days, then.
All you needed to do was check my activity to see I'd been on every day, btw, Loran. I just got killed in clan mafia...rather too abruptly for my liking. That's why I haven't been around the mafia forum for a little while.
The game will be called Fairytale Mafia. It's probably going to be a pretty good one.
I'd like to throw my hand up for running a mafia game, preferably a newbie game (due to it being my first hosting of a game on MTGS). I've completed two games (Clan Contest, and Newbie #22, and have died in Newbie #23 (only to replace back into Newbie #23). I have significant experience in Mafia through IRC - particularly efnet and through MTGS's mafia channel. I feel that I would be better running a game, than playing many (Always seems that way - I prefer umpiring softball and baseball, prefer judging in Magic, and so on).
I have plenty of ideas for mafia games (normal, minis, newbies and specialities). I'm happy to shoot off some ideas, along with examples of flavour should I need to be tested.
I need to sign up for my game with arimnaes for specialty. It isn't complete yet, but it's getting there. Needless to say, it's not easy writing, especially with another game coming up. I will shoot to get it Fast-Tracked at some point, but for now, better to get in on the list.
What did he do? If anything he should be probation list no?

Regarding Fast tracks, is their currently a queue of them or is it just the one the council feels deserves it the most?
And can they be any size? If one can be mini sized, id probably wish to submit a mini to be fast tracked.

I need someone to take a look at my game for Fast Track. My co-mod still needs to get back to me as to whether there's anything he'd like to have changed (eh, arim?), but it's in a state suitable for preliminary review.

Question here: Isn't Cubus' game also a Fast track game? So shouldn't the regular specialty list (thus RafK) go now?

Doomsday is complete; that was the FTQ game, right? Who's up next? (crosses fingers)
Darn. And i didn't have time to finish my submission for the FTQ yet.

With Cubus taking the specialty slot though, and my own slot coming up on the Specialty shortly, I don't believe we have any setups lined up in advance.
Confusion, mostly. It looked like your name hadn't been taken off when your turn came up, when actually it had been added back on but there was basically no one in the queue. I think it's fair, though, that the others who recently signed up get a turn first, so I put you back on at the end of the list. If arim or Suth want to change the order they are, of course, welcome to.
