I'm working on an updated, MTGS-centric Flash tutorial for new players in the community. The goal is to be a one-stop shop for rules, roles, hosting, and strategy on MTGS. Part of this project is doing artwork; I need simplistic characters, background settings, and possibly interfaces and menu items. If this is something that interests you, please send me a PM and I can give you details.
Zionite! Long time no see buddy

"The Critics always said that we'd only have a black president when pigs flu"...
This reminds of one of my constant goals to make this place a better place. Did we ever decide if we should have the queue sign up thread to also be a place to ask for reviewers. Asking for reviewers in a thread is a lot easier then sending out a bunch of PMs when you don't have a reviewer lined up and don't have anyone in particular to ask.
Honestly, thing for me is that I like to rapidly iterate on a concept. Most of my setups have been designed and largely completed over the course of a day or two by sitting on AIM with a competent player/designer, and analyzing each angle of the game; fixing and iterating on them until they're at a good state.
I've always found that the *BEST* way to design; and if anyone wants assistance with that form of game design/review, I am more then happy to help.
If anyone wants to help ME with that, I'd appreciate it

"The Critics always said that we'd only have a black president when pigs flu"...
So sometime last year I disappeared from a couple of games without so much as a reason why, and aside from a drunk post made from an Irish Pub, I've been gone since. I would like to start playing mafia again, but I don't have a reason for why I dropped off of the radar, except that with my job, I sometimes...lose things in the mix. So to speak.
So I guess I'm here to ask for a ruling from the council on whether I can go back to signing up for games after my disappearance.
As a mod of a game from which you disappeared from (legions) which i promptly disappeared from as well. (Oops)
I'm fine with it. (Tho im unsure how much my statement matters)

Obviously a touchy subject but I personally don't feel like DV did anything requiring blacklisting. I remember one of my first games here, Star Trek EU, where scum-loran was caught and made all kinds of statements regarding who his scumbuddies were. This always happens in games and I never really understood what was so special about DV's comments, although the anger there was certainly uncalled for and not very sportsmanlike.
Largely agree honestly.I didnt get it then, and i dont get it now. And im not a huge DV fan cause he drives me nuts. But at the same time... i TRULY dont understand what he did wrong, since these DO happen, but somehow, because xyre awknowledged it, DV was in the wrong. *shrug* We've had this issue in the past (Charmmaster i think?) and i dont remember the resolution we had.

So, there's an issue. I wonder if any of you have StormBlind's set uo for Highlander Mafia? He seems to be having issues, and we really need a vote count to continue the day.
I sent out prods on the 1st, and posted the second. (yesterday) You're MASSIVELY jumping the gun here. I simply haven't had time to do a vote count the past 2 days. Calm down.

I'm slightly late to the party, I'd like to chime in *Makes me feel involved T_T*
- On the hosting thing, although the clan mafia thing solves that for now, my suggestion is to run a specialty. I am fully aware that a normal would be nice since they move the slowest, but at the same time, i think the specialty list would be the best to fire. While alot of the games have gotten decent signups, the REASON symbiont and goo have had SO many is because they ARE specialties. Experienced players prefer them near as i can tell, as do alot of the graduating class of mafia players so to speak. It's simply the games with the highest amount of player appeal.
- On the Joboman thing, i can definitely see why some players would be upset, but honestly, besides feeling someone should have given an indepth review of the game before launch (But again, i think ALL games should have an indepth review before launch) i dont see the issue. Props to joboman for taking charge of it and running it, even if i do see the huge potential for issues later. (Nivness)

But MMoD is around. Stupid question but have you discussed it with him?
Well, he did an edit on the 20th stating he would try to squeeze in the edit between classes / a concert. So he's here, around, didnt forget, ect. But just hasn't gotten around to putting it all together.
So... maybe a council prod would help?

Oh man hats. I think that is my favorite game I've played in.
Its definitely one of mine. Great gameplay, really wacky and ridiculous powers, good premise, Tilde being insane and blowing up the one person who could have caused the game to end really early.
So awesome.

Yes, I remember, he was the one person ahead of me in the queue.
[quote]It's interesting to look at that list, since there are several games there that had some design flaw that ultimately undermined the game to some extent. It may be that to qualify for the FTQ requires less a good game than a very pretty game (though there are some very good games on that list).
The only ones i really remember and can comment on:
Hats - Tilde blowing the azrael up, once all the hats were out and about, it was pretty much just "who has this hat" and then Process of Elimination. Didn't help the scum had some pretty scummy superpowers (other then me, and i coasted to near LYLO off it and azraels certainty i couldn't be scum).
Legionnaire (Aka. Britannia) - Flaw: Dead mod.
Doomsday - Replacement issue after replacement issue. Didnt work well.

Unreal city was not, AFAIK. Ghost Town, VR Salvation, Inheritance, most of Xyre's stuff: those are all representative of FTQ-type games.
As well as my doomsday and Brittania mafia's. (Britannia died :() I think me and Xyre are the only 2 time nominee's.
I remember there being a discussion somewhere with someone, about how there's 3 FTQ qualification fields: Flavor, Mechanics (game mechanics), and role abilities. Usually, it requires 2 of 3, and Game Mechanics is probably the single most required I've seen (almost every game has SOME unique mechanic driving it).
Just wanted to heads up

Fully expect you to be the mafia forum mod if arim ever leaves!
P.S. Please never learn arim
