Not usually...

But there are some very good games out there where people decided to do so :D  Like BMIX and some other ones I remember slightly less well.

And then there's KWN:DE, which is just absurd.

Roleplaying: Not really, except for variants that require it, which we don't have very often.

Also, an example of a mafia quicktopic thing, from BM XXIV: http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/yxkrEwQcp4GS

Here is the scum chat from BM XXIV, as an example.  If you want to read the thread first and see if you can figure it out yourself, beware of spoilers.

(edit- blah ninjas)

Actually, I highly recommend reading a few old games anyway- it's a great idea to see the mindset required to play.  Check the Notable Game Archive for some good ones.

OP updated with Beginner's XXV signups. Short description of the game added for people who have no idea what it is.

Voting for pin, and also suggesting to maybe add a descriptor to the BM's. Like in the notable games archive.
Yes.  Just... fuck yes.

Voting for a pin and seconding the short description idea, because right now it's sort of a wall o BMs.

It's a good idea, but it's going to take a while.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

BM XXV has started.

I have seen one new player want to play but be unable to due to the game filling.  If I see a couple more, I will start BM XXVI once XXV hits Day 2 or so.

Post your interest here!

A completely preventable one.

How about you hold out on ending a game until cooler heads like mine can come tell you why that's a horrible idea.

Oh, well. Get the next one up and running. It's the least you can do after aborting this one.

Hey Darvi, I want to learn how to mod a game, with the hope that I can be constructive and host games, instead of just joining and leeching off other peoples good will.
Can I co-mod the next Beginner's with you? I know the game mechanics well enough, and keep good enough track of game.

*sigh*

If you're in, I'll probably IC the next one =)  Might as well give 'er another shot.  Get back on the old underwater mule.

The new thread should open pretty soon.

Actually, you can have it.  I was only going to do it if no one else did OR we had interest enough for one while XXV was running.
