My thought on this is that rolling sign ups dictate demand. If a game has sign ups open for longer until it fills, I don't think that's a problem. More likely to attract newer players than if any swing by and nothing is open.
I see that as a problem because then it makes the host and potential untapped players feel like people aren't interested in the game, and also if you sign up for a game a month ago and forget about it and have other commitments, it kinda sucks for everyone involved.

FYI - we'll need another Normal/League game after the Specialty fires and there are only two in queue right now. I've reached out to both but I haven't seen either Taredas nor Tom on in a while. If you have a normal that you're itching to host quickly... now's a good time to get cranking!

I've got a setup idea, but my job makes hosting impossible. Before I put the work in it: does anyone feel like hosting a game I design? I'll provide flavor for all the death scenes and roles.
It will be a mini.
Please sign me up to host a Specialty game, based on the Sword of Truth book series, which is one of my favorites.
This game is going to have a ***** ton going on, and I can't promise it will be balanced, but it will be a ton of fun for all parties involved. I'll find at least a couple of people to review it once that is necessary(I'm sure it will be years before I'm even reasonably close to that point, since the PCQ or FTQ system seems to no longer be a thing).
Battle For Vanillaville 2:Infernal Affairs ends in a werewolf Victory.
chilly_von_willy was focribly replaced. Thank you "notvoxxicus" for the replacement.
I would also like to mention that I tried my darndest to replace Id_Ego but I couldn't find a replacement slot. Can he be considered forcibly replaced?

It looks like I forgot to actually ask to be put on a hosting list, so please put me on the mini list. (I might try my luck convincing the FTQ to let me through, but in any event, might as well put a foot in the door.)

I think I'm gonna take an old setup I never ran, change a few roles up, make it bigger, and reflavor it as "New Phyrexia Mafia". I have some cool ideas, and I'll reach out to reviewers when I'm ready.

**** a full queue. Bring back the good stuff. Games with lots of flavour and complexity.
I love you so much right now.
@Iso:
Can't we compromise and at least poll people and be like: Would you like for the next game to be a Normal, Mini, or Specialty? We could even set guidelines for Minis to be 12 people, Normals to be 15-18, and Specialties to be 19+? There has to be some way to work this out.

Oh I meant for Normals to be 13-18, fuzzy math there.
Like..how are things currently done? Do we just rotate?
Currently, we keep 1 sign-up open at a time because larger games weren't firing off back in the day (mostly Normals, imagine that ) and smaller games kept taking their players because they would fill up faster. When a game ends, the type of game gets added to a sort of "line", where if there's already a sign-up open, the next type of game to fire will be the type that finished least recently, presuming there are none already running.
So let's say a Specialty and 3 Minis end at around the same time in this order, and there's a League game currently running:
Mini
Specialty
Mini
Mini
The next host on the Mini list will be PMed to post their sign-ups. If they don't respond within 2-3 days, the next Mini host on the queue gets the go-ahead, and so on.
Once that game fires, the next Specialty on the queue will open sign-ups.
Let's say the League game ends while the Specialty is just filling up, so now the "to-launch queue" looks like this:

A few years ago I hosted an epic Mafia game over on the now extinct Wizards forums. That game was Maximum Carnage: A Spider-Man Mafia. It was an infinitely complex advanced bastard game for 24 players which showcased a variety of innovative original mechanics and role interactions. It lasted months, and received widespread critical acclaim from the players and spectators alike.
After a year of development I have finally begun sign ups for its successor; Hobgoblin Lives: A Spider-Man Mafia 2. This game is for 21 players and is also infinitely complex, with some mechanics returning from the last game combined with some new ones for what promises to be an Amazing good time. I am hosting this game over on No Goblins Allowed, and we currently (at the time of writing this) have 18 players and need only 3 more. If this sounds like something that might appeal to you, shoot me a private message and I'll send you a link to the sign up thread. I hope to see you there.
* Disallow further sign-ups for the Specialty queue. Once the current queue is emptied, we will begin employing 2 PCQs at a time.
* Make note that we will be running a constant PCQ, and supplementing this with a 2nd PCQ game once the Specialty queue is emptied. Please also note that if your PCQ has been selected within the past 6 PCQ choices, that you can not host another PCQ until this rotation of 6 games has ended. Once our current stock of PCQ material has dried up and the last setup hits sign-ups, please create a new thread with MafiaScribe to accept more submissions. Feel free to date the thread titles so we know which are which, and can keep them organized as such.
* Open a Micro queue, strongly recommending either open setups and/or those of lesser complexity. Micro games will only allow 7 or fewer players. In doing so, please eliminate the Basic queue from the current list and write up a new description entailing what Micros will represent, including a good place for newer players to jump in and players with availability concerns to grab a game.
* Drop the League, and keep Normals at a strongly recommended 14-16 players.
* Keep the Mini queue open as-is and run 1 or 2 at a time - whatever the playerbase can support.

Sign me up for a Micro. Not sure at all if it's balanced, but should definitely be silly.
Experiment #4: Drunk Tracker Mafia
(also known as Danny Kaye Mafia)
- 3 sober trackers (each night, learn whom their target targeted)
- 2 drunk trackers (each night, learn their target targeted a random person other than themselves - don't know they're drunk)
- 2 mafia tracker poisoners (each night, learn whom their target targeted; one each night can instead poison a target, whom will die at the end of the following day)
- night head start
- players can't self-target

I think our rule of thumb has always been open setups don't need to be reviewed since players can judge for themselves whether the game is worth joining or not. (Non-open micros should probably require review per usual.)
Town Win % = 75%
Mafia Win % = 75%
