I've modified our stickies, Killjoy should be prodding hosts to get rolling signups up, shortly.
I suppose that means we'll need to figure out what the next FTQ submission's going to be, pretty soon, or else rethink how that queue is going to operate. We could certainly use some more nominations, at the moment.
Is there any rule against my getting a couple ideas into review quickly enough that they could potentially be voted on to run after my current game finishes? I have general outlines for Trek MU4, Annorax's Bastard Mod Mafia 2, and an unnamed My Little Pony game in the works & am willing to fast track them into review-ready form (especially the MLP game) as FTQ or Specialty if you guys need additional games in a ready-to-fire state.

It's come to my attention that HookerPunch has posted sign-ups before Bolly's game has filled. I understand the whole "rolling sign-ups" thing, but...why so soon? And why aren't we filling up games of other types first?

KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

The Theory thread has now been moved to [The Family]'s clan thread. All Mafia theory discussion will take place there.
Az, what was it that you wanted to happen with the replacement request thread + the "welcome new players" thing?
Oh. I just saw the way the theory thread got folded in. Is there a way we can just use the existing thread and stick a redirect in the clan area? Or something similar?
My thought was that the best way to give the clan more visibility and membership would be to make it more visible in THIS subforum. If we're retiring the theory and discussion thread, it's going to both take away any place immediately apparent to discuss theory, and not really achieve the goal of helping clans.
If that won't work, we should do it the other way around, stick a redirect here going to clans while leaving theory discussion alive.

We created a new [The Family] thread to accommodate the Theory thread migration...I thought the understanding was that we were going to retire the Theory thread and, instead, use the [The Family] thread to discuss Mafia Theory.
We can't move Theory into Clans because that goes against the rules of the Clans subforum (as Mafia Theory & Discussion is not a clan) and sort of eliminates the point of us having made a new [The Family] thread. The Clans mods agreed to let us use [The Family] as the Theory thread, but you wanting to move the Theory thread into Clans was something never discussed. I'm pretty sure that you never even said anything about it.

Hmmm. I'd like to keep the number of stickies down so that it's easier for newcomers to navigate the sub - what d'ya think about converting and/or retiring the mafia theory and discussion thread, maybe making it a redirect to the clan thread, something like that?
We can create a new thread for it, that's fine by me, I just think if the point is to help out clans, we need a redirect. So maybe create the family thread here, then move it to clans, thereby leaving a redirect in place. How's that?
I don't see how that quote isn't what we did. There's a link to the clan thread as the last post in the Theory thread.
Problem is, Rhand already made the new clan thread and if we want to move it just to create a redirect, we need cooperation with the Clans mods. Did you have anyone in mind?

But the theory thread is about to drop off the page in a week or two, no? If we sticky the clan thread, then move it, won't the redirect stay put? Not familiar with the clan mods.
Can't we just sticky the Theory thread again? I was suggesting in Clans that someone go through and make a list of all the theory discussions and their conclusions and put it as an article. So we compile all the discussions that were had in there relevant to the game.

The Theory thread won't drop off for another several months.
I thought the entire purpose of repurposing [The Family] into the Theory thread was to bring more traffic to [The Family] and to remove a sticky from the Mafia sub.

Then is there a problem with me restickying the Theory thread and leaving it locked?
Seems non-optimal. What we want is something that players can read and understand with a single click. A thread title that clearly indicates that the link leads to theory discussion and the mafia clan thread. We don't want to put a random, locked sticky at the top of the forum list with no explanation, that hasn't had a post in X number of years, and hope that people go read the last post.
Is it really a problem to get the cooperation of clans for this?
I'm not really clear on anything we can do in clans to help, but how about a new stickied and locked post here titled "Theory Discussion" or some-such, with links to the retired theory thread, and says current theory discussion is welcome here - with a link to the clan?

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
That could work. I guess if we're set on doing it with internal thread links rather than a redirect link, we can simply integrate the links to the clan threads into our existing stickies.

Kool, would it be problematic for us to do the following:
1. Initially create a new clan thread/mafia theory discussion thread in this forum.
2. Move that thread to clans, leaving a stickied topic redirect in place, to better direct our traffic to clans.

That would work. Move it from Clans to Mafia with no redirect timer, then move it back with a permanent redirect timer. You should be able to sticky the redirect.
Poop. Just tested a redirect and I couldn't sticky it. I thought you could.
EDIT: But the admins said that they can sticky it.
EDIT EDIT: Kahedron did it, so we're all set.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: A potential concern was brought to me - with the redirect being named "The Only Way You Leave [The Family] is in a Bodybag", users who aren't already part of The Family or at least aren't already a vet may not know what that is, so they may be less likely to click the redirect. This may be more of a discussion for The Family to have, but is it worth maybe making it clearer what The Family is in their title (or at least that the thread is now for theory & discussion?

Is it at all possible to change the title of the redirect to something like "Mafia theory and discussion: clan [The Family]"?
I don't think that we're reaching our target group the way we did it now.
Clarification on the new rolling system: you no longer have to wait on games to finish. If you have a sufficient number of players who signed up and have confirmed, you are free to fire at your discretion.
If for whatever reason you want to let your signups go a bit longer after filling the minimum number, that's fine too.
As a consequence, we no longer have a set number of games of any given type that will be running at a time. It's completely a demand-based system.
The only interaction between games of the same type at this point is if the previous game of the same type has ended, and a few weeks later your signup still hasn't filled, we'll check and see if there's a problem.

EDIT: But the admins said that they can sticky it.
EDIT EDIT: Kahedron did it, so we're all set.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: A potential concern was brought to me - with the redirect being named "The Only Way You Leave [The Family] is in a Bodybag", users who aren't already part of The Family or at least aren't already a vet may not know what that is, so they may be less likely to click the redirect. This may be more of a discussion for The Family to have, but is it worth maybe making it clearer what The Family is in their title (or at least that the thread is now for theory & discussion?

In any event, I'd recommend adding something in the OP explaining that.
Thanks everyone.
EDIT: I see you already beat me to it. *thumbs up*
EDIT EDIT: Theory and discussion is good to go with an unsticky.

I don't think that we're reaching our target group the way we did it now.
If for whatever reason you want to let your signups go a bit longer after filling the minimum number, that's fine too.
As a consequence, we no longer have a set number of games of any given type that will be running at a time. It's completely a demand-based system.
The only interaction between games of the same type at this point is if the previous game of the same type has ended, and a few weeks later your signup still hasn't filled, we'll check and see if there's a problem.

I tried editing the thread title, but the redirect doesn't change. And I don't think I can change the redirect title
Creating a new prefix should be doable. What exactly are you asking for though?
I just tried changing the name of the redirect itself and couldn't. If you want I could shuffle the threads around again so we get a new redirect with the current title of the families thread.
