What a bag of worms the mods opened by letting people submit character names. Keeping track of this stuff is going to be more difficult than doing vote counts.
Well, I'm willing to run two concurrent games if the council/mods/players (rascals? Az?) approves and there's 32 players interested (I'm certainly not doing any kind of invitational though, random always, to everything). The cool part is that we have more than 40 artifacts so the two games will certainly run completely different.
If that becomes a thing I also would love to recruit Xyre into moderation (he already refused once, hopefully with the peer pressure he can accept this time :D). In this case I think both DYH and Xyre can be isolated as the main mods and I will co-mod both games.
@KCC I obviously can't guarantee how long this game is going to last, but I'm using mechanics (yes, that one, now with even more improvements) to maintain a steady game pace and prevent unfun scenarios. I expect this game to end as quickly as a mini (two or so months).
The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.

If this happens, and you don't mind me being incredibly lurky during the July/August portions of the game (which I can guarantee I would be), then I guess you could count me /in as Piper Halliwell. -Though, if my limited posting and generally low content will be a problem that you don't want to have in your game, then I completely understand, and there'll be absolutely no hurt feelings here. Whatever you decide is fine with me.
Well Drey, concurrent games is nice and all, but they'll need to have a different setup. So unless you manage to do that, I don't think it's an option.
No I think a new Mini signup thread should be started as soon as this game begins (as there are just two Mini's running atm), or maybe a Normal. Then people who signed up for this one and are randomed out can sign up for the other game, if they want.
From what I am gathering, it is the artifacts that grant the role powers, not any particular role. If that is the case, then he can for sure run 2 games (Assuming he has 40 artifacts.) Barring that, we can do what we did for CIM and use the special subforum we have.

Not really, it would just have to do subforum masking a la Cyan's Impossible Mafia.

A League game should be going up soon though, right? I just worry about not having enough replacements if you guys do that.
Cyan's Impossible was only 12 players, doing a double thing with a 16 player game is a bit more taxing on the playerbase....

There are three Minis running - you're forgetting about Xyre's.

This is a good point, not because of the particular league game but considering all queues, but can probably be solved by holding up some game a little more, heck Xyre recently ran his game with double the players and no accommodating was necessary. Looks like our player base is more healthy than ever.
Cyan's Impossible was only 12 players, doing a double thing with a 16 player game is a bit more taxing on the playerbase....
Another good point, but the other option is having 16 or so guys randomed out, I may be biased but I know I'm always saddened when I join a game and can't play. In the end I think running two games is the lesser evil, since we can hold up the next FTQ a bit (not a big problem since this game was probably going to be the next FTQ cause it was the only one submited to FTQ so far :o) and we already are running an extra games with not problem whatsowever. I think the lesser evil is just to run two games at this point.
Btw we already have 32 players counting KCC and Misting.

Replacements would be needed for both games, no matter how much you might hope they aren't - and I don't think the playerbase can feasibly support that.
Another signup firing pretty soon after is probably the best fix, possibly with people that got randomed out of this game getting first pick there?
@DRey: Also, I'll be going on vacation from 6/16-6/21, and I'm finishing up Amistarian III for the FTQ submission. I'm not in any position to be fully modding, here.
I'd suggest you go ahead and figure out who the 16 lucky winners will be and we can get this thing up and running.

The next game to fire up should be Eco & Toasty's League game. They should be done adding the finishing touches this weekend and that'll be that.

Yea I won't be playing in League games. So can I be auto-in'd into this game?
Sadly I have a feeling both you and I will be randomed out of this game... sad too (Ya know the whole thing about asking to be in means you won't be in and all that.)

As long as our illustrious moderator will be randoming based on the roll of a dice, as I am sure he will (since he's great and awesome and fantastic and the best Mafia player ever and it's a shame he's moderating cause that means I can't play alongside him and all that and I've also named my first born after him and I often dream about how great it would be to be in his shoes and be as intelligent and funny and kind as him) and not based on people begging to be in the game, it shouldn't matter whether or not I talk about auto-inning in the game.
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p

That's a big OUCH. FUNNY
They hate us cause they ain't us.
I think I'll save it for a game I'm not 90% likely to need to replace out of at some point.
If that becomes a thing I also would love to recruit Xyre into moderation (he already refused once, hopefully with the peer pressure he can accept this time :D). In this case I think both DYH and Xyre can be isolated as the main mods and I will co-mod both games.

Oh well, I'm too lazy/aloof to change it to anything else anyway.

Also because the cast of characters has changed about fifty times and I have no idea who is who anymore.

I did not include KCC in the player list based on her feedback in the thread.
