The Mafia Discussion Thread

[Jimmy]

Would like me try and find a replacement, GoGo?

[oldskool]

I'll do it

[GoGo Yubari]

Nah, I'll try to see it through and catch up later tonight.

[Jimmy]

I appreciate that. Though OldSkool and Another Guy who's expressed interested may well go into the game. The in-activity is pissing me off.

[Gongsun Zan]

So, if I designed a game, would someone else run it for me? You know, being a lazy bastard and all.

[Ruki]

What kinda game?

Not volunteering, just curious.

[Plubby]

I would, but I think I need to take several months off to relearn how to run games.

Yeah, I might could help you out with that. I suppose it depends on how work-intensive it would be. If you're not looking for big write-ups, I could probably swing it.

And public outcry should be able to move a game further up the list so that good game-runners can be preferred. There's a pretty long chunk of games by people who haven't run that many, every now and then it should be possible to bump a Sousa or MPH game up to the top if they're amenable. Although Saved by the Bell is going to be the greatest game of all time.

I'd rather we just give people a few days to get their sign-up thread posted and if they don't, we move onto the next person. People on a waiting list should have as fair a chance as anybody else. You can't give people preferential treatment - if that's going to happen the list should just go.

And I still maintain that the main problem is people signing up to a game, not liking their role, and then not bothering to pay much attention to the game. This wouldn't stop that at all.

Bingo. It's not rocket science. There's no formula to this. People are just selfish and lazy, in the most basic of terms.

Which is why I try to make all my roles as interesting as possible. Throwing in additional non-role related events in the game thread also tends to help. Unfortunately, keeping track of everything is a huge bother.

[Josh]

Zan's posted twice in here in 24 hours.

I'm scared.

[TEOL]

I just stick to running traditional games. People can't say they only signed up to play as their favourite character then.

Oh, and RW hasn't replied to any of my PMs, which I find a bit disappointing.

De-mod RW in 08!

[Sousa]

Pesci gets a new joke in '08.

I blame the alcohol personally.

The contents of said PMs are intriguing though.

[TEOL]

Copies have been hidden in a safe in Zurich. The code has been sent to Sousa and MPH in the event of my demise.

If you all never hear from me again; godspeed.

[Plubby]

To...Sousa? And MPH?

...way to go

[TEOL]

Dude, I'm trying to keep it SECRET.

[Plubby]

So you gave it to two of the biggest whores on EWB? Sousa will do anything for TGC, and Empee lowered himself to the EWR forums to become green.

[TEOL]

... I'm walking away from this one.
