The new thread, as per Vecna being no longer around. If this could replace the current sticky... The lists should be current... if I missed you or put you in the wrong spot just let me know.
Do not post in here unless you are asking to sign up to host a game. Unless you have run a few games on the site, it is recommended that you post your experience. Posts without experience listed can and will be ignored.
NEW: You may also post in here additions to the probation list. We suggest including all probation-worthy people in a single post that also includes a status report that the game from which the reasons for listing these people is completed. (I'm saying make a single post to say "Game over and these people are lame")
=========================================================
A few of the players you could contact are: DYH, Pod, Ged, Cropcircles, Sutherlands, Fadeblue, Xyre, Cyan, Axelrod, Azrael, arimnaes, RafaelK, and StormBlind. Anyone who has been around the block a few times will do.
=========================================================
Council List:
Axelrod, Azrael, arimnaes, DYH in no particular order.
Please PM any of the above if you need to check a rule, want your game idea to be reviewed, or something else that would require mod assistance.
The following may never be used in a Normal game without permission from a council member. Specialty games must be reviewed in full, so the inclusion of the following may be attempted, and is up to the reviewer whether they are allowed or not.
1. A player on the replace list with a role.
2. A player not listed in the game that has an effect on the game.
3. A role with no feasible win condition. (A neutral that cannot win with town or mafia, and has no kills, for example.)
4. A role that may VOTE after death. Please confirm any post-death abilities with a reviewer even if they are not vote-related.
5. The mod having a role.
These are generally metagame roles, which have been restricted due to unplayability, unfeasibility, or the fact that the average normal game should not require its players to expect such twists that they might from a Specialty game.

A single player may be in a maximum of 3 games at one time.
We run 2 Normal, 2 Mini, 1 Specialty, 1 Fast-Track at once. “New Player” games are run according to demand.
A player in a current game may not discuss a current game with any other player in that game. Discussion with an outsider must first have permission requested, because it invalidates their right to play in the game as soon as any meaningful information is given. Both the host and council may punish for transgressions.
To sign up to host, you must have two complete games and one in progress, minimum. There will be no exceptions.
We strongly recommend finding an experienced player to review your setup.
All hosts should be prepared to host at any time when their name is in the top three of a list. When it is a host’s turn to make their game, they will be PMed. If they are not ready, or have a conflict, they may ask to be pushed back 2-4 slots. Lack of response after 72 hours will result in an automatic pushback.
To sign up to Host a special game, you must:
1. Have a game setup finished or near finished.
2. Submit the setup to a council member for review/balancing.
3. Have participated in three complete games on MTGSalvation.
The Fast-Track Queue exists to encourage flavorful, well-crafted, and uniquely enjoyable mafia designs. After each fast-track game ends, a committee of authorized reviewers will meet and select the next game on the queue from the current list of nominations.
To nominate a setup to the fast-track queue, you should first private message the Hosting Czar, Sutherlands. Ideally, nominations should be submitted while the current fast-track game is still running, but late nominations are also welcome. In your private message you should include the name of the setup and the name of an authorized reviewer who has read the setup.
Blacklist: Players listed here may not play in mafia unless they appeal.
Pawn, Russianhacka, Foilphob (deadposter and troll), Edghyatt
Probation list: Players listed below may be denied entry at the discretion of moderators, due to a history of chronic lurking and/or replacing.
Players and hosts may recommend players to be added to the probation list by PMing the council once the game is concluded (Azrael, Axelrod, Arimnaes, DYH).
A host may recommend the removal of a player from this list if they participated well in said host’s game, and players have the right to petition the council for removal from the probation list.
If my turn to mod a mini comes up while my noob game's still running, I ask to be pushed back until the noob game ends. I don't want to deal with two games at the same time.
Hey, can i get on the mini list? I've playedin Newb11, view askew, Defenders of the ancients, Mushroom kingdom, and am currently in newb 14.
If it matters, I have a setup near completion.
We live in a country were ~50% of the populace believe public schooling is a socialist conspiracy and that being called Einstein is an insult. We could try and fix it, but unfortunately the other 50% don't believe in euthanasia.
I'd like to be added to the Normal list. See previous experiance post ++ about 5-10 games.
Posted after abby and before niv.
I also asked to be put on the specialty list on December 16th of 2006, never received any type of response, then asked again on January 18th, 2007, and never received any response.
(I'm going to bring up one of bat's points from way back then in the mafia council thread about the specialty hosting list)

Ah, I have a pretty good setup, but I'm going to go ahead and wait until I have more experience. Also, I'm not sure what category it may fall under. Anyway, I feel I can do this. I've been a DM forever and this is nothing more than a modification of that. So I call upon the council, keep me in mind for obscure themed games in the future.
A single player may:
1. Be in a single “Normal” game at one time.
2. Be in a single “Specialty” game at one time. 3. Be in a single “Mini” game at one time.
4. Be signed up to be a replacement for any sort of game, but not available to replace until said player is no longer in the other of that type of game.
I of course intend to follow the rules, but I find it a tad unfair that people who are in two games (Matrix+Kung Fu) can sign up, while those in only one game (MTGS or Blizzard) cannot - just because their single game is of the 'wrong' type.
The point he is making is that if you're already in a mini and that's your only current game, it doesn't seem fair that you can't sign up to play in another mini while those playing in two other games (a specialty and a normal) can sign up.
I would support a general three-game-per-player rule, regardless of type.
EDIT: I just realized this discussion is in the wrong thread. I would suggest any responses be relayed in the Mafia Council Thread.
Since it appears that Az is voiding the rule of not allowed to be on the normal hosting list while on the mini hosting list, I'd like to sign up for a normal, please.

Edit: No, wait, huh? I thought the change being made was that you can play in multiple games of the same type, not that you could be on all the hosting lists at once.
This would be why the lists are separate. Otherwise you just have everyone on both lists.

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.
I removed anyone I had put on that was on both lists, and added the people who requested so that are not either list. If I missed you, or you notice someone who is on both the normal and mini lists, please let me know.

Hey, you! Yeah, you behind the computer screen! You're unconstitutional.
Specials are where most strange ideas get used, and it would be a shame for strange ideas to become commonplace as multiple people make the same extensions of existing abilities. That's about the only reason I can think of for limiting the special list.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
Having only been on the council for 48 hours, I was obviously not privy to the original decision. I've always assumed, however, that the reason was that the council wanted to give priority to the more interesting and well-balanced setups it received.
This policy:
3. If more than one setup is cleared for addition, they will all be re-examined when a new slot opens up in the queue.
stands in contrast to how the regular lists work, i.e., on a purely first-come first-served basis.

So I can submit my set-up, but it won't be added 'til a spot opens? Is this correct?
So I can submit my set-up, but it won't be added 'til a spot opens? Is this correct?
Yes. In the event that multiple setups are competing for the next slot on the specialty queue, then the council members who have reviewed those setups will likely confer and hammer out which will move forward.
The ideas was to ensure that there will always be at least one game on 'salvation that keeps things fresh and interesting, and brings new ideas to the table more quickly than if they were plodding through the other queues.
In practice, we've been getting a refreshing number of creative and well-made setups both on and off the specialty queue, which is as it should be. But it's been useful to have designated space to frontload and cater towards those types of designs, on a consistent basis.
I apologize for the somewhat short notice here, but I think I have to be asked to be removed from the mini list for the time being... After being out of town for 6 weeks, I found it really difficult to get back into the flow of this site (and the mafia scene in general), but I figured I would still be able to run the mini... Unfortunately, what with some time management issues this year, I really don't think that's going to be possible. Again, I do apologize for the late notice, but hopefully whoever's next up on the list didn't procrastinate like I did and has their setup ready already =P...
Anyway, I may well return to the site sometime, but honestly, it just isn't working for me right now.
Apologies again.
