Usually the host will put the starting date of said game, if not you can ping them and ask. And right now there are 4-5 signup threads.There was a rule that was made with the abolishing of the calendar that the delay between posting signups and starting your game cannot surpass a month. That rule has not been enforced and would help in 'cleaning' up the place a bit.
The rule is being enforced though. I stopped Ekko from posting his sign up thread when he's not gonna host any time soon. But if people post it when I'm away from the forum and already filling up spots like Flower, I can't stop them completely.
 
The current mafia playerbase is not the same as the current active mafia playerbase. Not everyone who has ever played mafia still actively plays it.

I'm not personally pushing every game to go later. That's what's naturally gonna happen when everyone wants to host at the same time.
Mate I can assure you I can get a full 30 players list by the end of the week end. And, again, while you were gone for a few months we managed just fine in organizing ourselves. People respected each others game and we were discussing when to start ours between ourselves. There hasnt been more than 1-2 games running concurrently, and if there were 2 they were alternating day and night phases.
 
Tbh I wouldn't mind a trial to see if two games running alongside each other could work. It says in the rules they can, but no two games ever ran like that. You won't know if sth works or not if you don't try. Esp Ratchet's game. It has 18 players. You can easily run another game next to it.
They can run together, we have the playerbase. Atm people are just waiting and doing nothing because no game has started besides Yos. I say whoever has a setup ready should go for it tbh.

Normally you put signups when your game is close to being completed.

Then another sign up thread would come up for the next game after that one.

Hosts can see the signup threads previously made and post their signup thread and start date accordingly. As long as the setup is almost finished.

That game would take priority before others unless another game filled up faster and the host didn't mind delaying it a bit.

So having a queue like this, although understandable, is not absolutely necessary imo.

Yes, thats how it worked for the past few months. Nobody complained.

You sure you can do if set the same start date as say, Aries' game? You believe the players would play with alternating with Aries' game and you wouldn't feel the need to make your game go later than his?

I think you're missing my point, Fuji. There's a lot more people trying to host now. Backlog will develop as a result of so many people wanting to hosts. This would occur regardless of whether or not this thread existed. Those months I was gone didn't have nearly the same number of people wanting to host.

For the sake of the two games at the same time, let's ask and see. I will ask in my signup thread who would be down to play my game and Aries' at the same time with alternating phases.

I think you're the one missing the point, instead of going back to something like a backlog we just keep going with the system we have now, IE your game is done? Ask other hosts if theirs is almost finished or not then post accordingly. Not something arbitrary like a set date/month.

Thats my current issue here. We are old enough to coordinate between ourself without the need of a backlog. Its been working just fine for months, there is no need to change it.

And yeah I can get 30 unique players playing concurrently to Ariess game easily.
Agreed, I am not interested in hosting if there will be another game running. One game at a time is enough imo.
I dont think you understood what Ariess said.

Okay, let's try it. Who's ready to host right now?

@Flowa @Ekkologix @Ariess @Ratchet @Adam 🍎 @SoulKiller @Ultra

I am which is precisely why I made that post. Not interesting in having 2 games running at the same time with alternative cycles. I mean if people are fine then hey it's their call. But it has to be mutual agreement between the hosts. Otherwise, one game at a time. Unless you host a small game.

Meaning, I ain't gonna host my game if there is another game happening period. It's not fair for the players to sit through playing mafia 24/7 it is exhausting. I want them to enjoy one experience at a time. So whenever I host my game, I won't be okay with other people hosting game at the same time as mine.

Its gonna be different players playing each game, not sure why thats a problem to you ?
