Wizard Duel may also take a short break from being a mafia game and wander up to the normal Forum Games section anyway, since I'm thinking of running a pure Duel from that rules set (with no Cabal or side-actions).
So a sortof SMOL with duals and possibly stat choices?

For the record:

BYOR2 = midgame
Wizard's 3 = earlygame (it's Day 4, but there's 9 people left, a low DPC (1 death day/night is not unusual) and it keeps going till only 1 survives)
LCS = Last Day
KotM = Ongoing
Para 12 = midgame
One Lynch = early game (6 players, 1 DPC, however, town will NL most of those days so it'll run quickly into LYLO)
BYOR:PE = Midgame

Well, the system CAN handle Horrible and Vote eventually.. we just need to stagger them.  Note that Duel will be going for at least another 2 more game days (even after one side wins they keep going until one person is left) and paranormal is only in Mid game. 

So I'm thinking next week run Horrible and Vote, then we wait for some of these games to end.

Also note that TYPE of game matters.  N-M won't bring the same types of people as Horrible Role, after all.

Right, of course.  It was more of a "What if I had been unable to sign up for games, and then suddenly 5 I wanted to play became available simultaneously.  Well, if I wasn't thinking ahead, I'd sign up for all 5 and then immediately become largely inactive in all but one of them.  Given humanity's propensity to dive after resources with no thought to the consequences, this is probably a pretty bad idea."

So I'm pretty much thinking "Wait for a game day or two of Near-Mountainous, Christmas, and Neruz's Bastard.  Then you should have 6-12 people dead from those two alone, plus any other games, and putting more stuff into signups should be feasible."

Well, anyway, that's all theory.  I wasn't saying the system couldn't handle Horrible and Vote eventually--we're currently running at 63 players, when we used to be at 108.  I'm more thinking that a slow scale-up to previous running capacity would be better than splatting 5 games on at once, and that 3 simultaneously starting might be a bit rough.


Also, Dakarian: you forgot BYOR Panda on your list.

It'll be a pure tournament style game with players choosing one of the combat roles to play (barring Archmage, of course), and the other mages assisting. I haven't figured it all out yet, but I'll have a thread for it up once WD3 ends with a link in WD3 to it.

BYOR Pand is ongoing and will probably still be going on in January. It wouldn't shock me if BYOR Pand was still alive in February.

Maybe... mid-game? I dunno, it's hard to know exactly without knowing the setup, after all, so just say it's ongoing.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

For the record, I'm planning to open signups for Rysith's semi-bastard later this week, aiming for a start date on or near the 10th of January.

I'd like INFILTRATE//SEEK//ELIMINATE added to the queue proper, please.

I figure I'll get in around the time BM7 ends (maybe a a bit before, but whatever) and I'm purposely not joining any more games so I'll have time to host it.

To be true, I somewhat wish I waited for Christmas Mafia.. even though it would've been meh to have a 'christmas' theme game AFTER christmas.  Activity is spotty thanks to the holiday and it's having an effect on the games. New Years is coming, which is going to cause another mess of delays as well.

So any new games should wait until after the holidays are over.  After that, yah werewolf should be fine.

I was looking at the current Beginner Mafia and it made me think about making a Pokemon Mafia, where each person would be modeled after a Pokemon or some such item, and each Night, each Pokemon would use one of their attacks (Each person would have HP.) All the attacks would be posted (Pikachu uses Thunder on Geodude, for example.) I'm sure there's other roles and rules I could come up with, but I'm wondering how well all of this might work.
