Sorian, Fat and Time should all have spec access.



Volcano Island


(Technically shouldn't count due to how the game worked, I think the actual record is 6 in Woof 2)

what an incredible game volcano was, tbh. it was a horrific mess in every way possible, but there was beauty in it. we all made something beautiful there

Well played Sorian! I really wanted to drag you down with me as soon as you gave me up to town, but now that we both ended up winning it's all good :p

Seems pretty balanced :p

Did you see the inquiry into drop rates increasing or not? (Or are you waiting for all games to wrap before calculating?)

Can't believe you called me a goober in your outer thread. My arguments were brilliant ;)
You were only tunneling on the closest thing town had to a cop :p Had I lived one more day we would've had the info on Bronx too. RIP town.
........ *shuffles feet*

ahem

you will get your statistics when it's good and ready ok

Just wanted to make sure the request wasn't lost in the shuffle of a game ending. Thanks ynnny!

A couple of the mods have been talking for a while about reducing the average size of games. On average, Gafia games run somewhere between 20-25 players. This would reduce the games down to more like 15-20 players. What do people think about this?

EDIT: I should clarify that this has mostly been idle talk - no actual plans are in place.
In addition to the points Sophia made, this might help with the replacement issues if we do fewer players total during the main season

Also, this is minor, but I know Pineapple Pizza is having a separate spec thread from Brexit - is there a reason we don't do that during main season? I personally don't like reading spec threads for multiple games because I often only pay attention to one game at a time, and it can be a little confusing reading posts for two or three games in one thread. It might be another thing to help with replacements, since we could let someone spectate one game will still being able to sub for another.

I know we tried it once. I forgot why we went back to a merged main thread tho... @.@

Low activity I think
Yeah, I think we had more activity in the Arkham/Anime thread than in some previous dead threads I have been part of. While I mostly followed just anime mafia, the chatter in the spectator thread brought my attention to cool stuff happening in Arkham too. So I don't mind the combined threads.

It does have the downside of making me have to pick between signing up as a replacement for ongoing games and being able to gripe about being NKed Night 1 again, though.

The general thought was that it made the spec threads less fun.

We keep the mid-season threads separated because they are so scattered in their start/end times, and to allow for roles like Mediums.

Hmm... speaking of Mediums.

How would people be interested in a game based upon Town of Salem? Semi-open setup, like the Mini Mafias we run.

Not sure I know enough to really say, but at the same time I sign up for whatever's open so probably yes.

It'd basically be Mini Mafia, but role madness, as everyone has a role in Town of Salem. It'd also be semi-open, as a list of potential roles would be in the OP, but not which roles are active in the game at the moment.

So kind of like ONUW except a bit less of a shit show (maybe).

The biggest issue with large games in my mind is that the number of people coasting or not playing is generally higher, but nobody wants to take much time to deal with them since it feels like a 'waste'. It's not fun lynching someone who isn't even really playing.

We need another Love Boat so people can experience the amazingness of stupid amounts of activity.
D2 was a sight to behold, I still have the pages of it that I printed.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Mario Kart game to bring you some important news! In honor of Overwatch's 1 year Anniversary we're going to be bringing back Gafia vs. The World! It's where we get a group of us and just play some good ol' Overwatch games to fuel our Lootbox addictions. Also because it's much more fun playing with friends than with randoms.

Don't have Overwatch on PC? Don't worry! This weekend the game is completely Free to Play! The game is also on sale for $20 so if you get addicted enjoy playing it's much cheaper than normal!

However, the only problem is the game is 6 v 6 so once we get 6 people we won't have room for more. BUT if we are able to get 12 people willing to play we can set up a small tournament and have some 6 v 6 Gafia Only games! It'll be on a first-come-first-serve basis but if the original 6 slots are full please let me know you are still interested.

Lootbox Addicts:
1. Sawneeks
2. Mazre
3. Roy
4. Mantis ( maybe )
5. Ouro ( maybe )
6. Sophia ( maybe )

Reserves:
1. Fran
2. StarSketch
13. AbsolutBro
4. Nin
5. Cabot
6.

Gafia vs. The World Part 3 will be this Sunday at 12 PM PST.

I would like to play Overwatch but I Kinda suck at it.

If that's ok count me in.

No worries! A couple of us don't play very often and we're not super competitive, just kinda playing for the fun of it.

Also, Sophia messaged me on Discord just a bit before your post so she'll be getting the 6th spot but I will be pinging everyone when the time comes since we have so many 'maybes'.
