flatluigi: Apr 22, 2008; here come the planes

I got nightkilled n1 in france.

On the good side, this means I can finally make time for my big game, Amnesia Mafia! In keeping with the other games I've run, it'll be fun, moderately balanced, and have an interesting gimmick with minor/moderate gameplay effects. I promise everyone will have a good time.

If you want a reserved space, PM me -- I've got 23 ready.

Xythar: Dec 22, 2004; echoes of a contemporary nation

The current/completed games list is falling way behind.

Could I please ask all mods who are currently running a game, or recently completed a game, to update the list with their game? I don't want to put everything in myself because I haven't been keeping track of what's happening.

No, Piuro was just saying it so he could get a little snipe to imply how he would have done it better if we'd let him have the official discussion thread.

The list in the OP doesn't matter, the wiki is what we go by and that's what we need to keep updated. Is there a better method than "let the mod of each game handle it"?

No, all I do is update currently running games in the OP. I am in no way responsible or obligated for the wiki, nor have I ever been.

It usually works pretty well when one person gets a bug up their butt and does it all themselves.

I did my game myself, it wasn't that hard, don't know why it can't just be a rule that mods update the wiki themselves for their own games.

And now it's changed a third time. First it was a TF2 pic, then it was given lovely annoying animation and stupid mis-bolded text, and now the text changed. Someone is wasting some money or I guess it's a mod doing it?

sc4rs: Sep 15, 2007; This is what I think of your opinion.

I'd like to run a GBS game when France is finished, was there anyone else that was planning on running a GBS game that I could recruit as a co-mod/be a co-mod for/work on a setup with?

EDIT: Obviously it would be a simple setup as GBS games are newbie-only, I was planning on having somewhat silly flavor like Ice Cream Shop mafia where everyone is different flavors and the scum are Frozen Yogurt.

to what you just said.

Can you repeat yourself
in a more interesting way?

I think silly flavor is great, but ice cream shop and frozen yogurt? It is GBS, not Pet Island.

Well part of the point was I'd like to mod a game that's a complete 180 from MTG Mafia II, and I think I write flavor well enough that it'd be enjoyable no matter what the theme. (besides, the first MTG Mafia was just fine so

)

When introducing people to the concept of Mafia I find it's easiest to, you know, have there be a "Mafia" in a "Town" with a "Cop" and "Doctor" and such.

Yeah, I agree. GBS games should be at least themed around the mafia, I'm fond of the PROBLEM in TOWN NAME template.
