... if this relys on people PMing their posts to you, then you posting it for them... this will be way too much work for one mod.

Yes, I'd like a bit more explanation before I join this.

But she joined his. And if she trusts him, she'll trust /.

I just looked at the announcement thread and it looks like it's anonymous at night. While that still doesn't explain enough about it, but that's enough for me. I would say that, but I've decided to sit out. I need to cut back, and I have a bit of a project in mind right now. However, if / would like me to look over the roles, I'd be happy to.

Time to get pancakes! *in cooking mood :D*
Anyway, I'd be interested if there were a bit more of an explanation of the system. If there's anonymous posting at night, it might be pretty interesting...

Very well, my apologies for not explaining anything.
Alright, understand this concept so far is based on a newspaper theme, also I suppose the title of anonymous night posting is a bit deceptive.

the concept I'm working on so far has three phases, a day phase, a night phase and and extra phase, after a lynch is settled during the day, an evening edition of the paper is posted, listing what has happened as a result of the players lynching the person, as well as a few hints concerning roles that might work in the day, vigs and the like, just a normal scene.

afterward during the night phase, each person will send me, along with there actions (if applicable), a letter for the editor, classifieds, or such.

The game proceeds to a third phase where some new roles are allowed to make additions, alterations, and overviews of the "paper", after which I post it the following morning, with all the hints, death scenes, players messages, and other possible concepts out in the open.

Also PCM, I thank you for the help, I will show you some of the concepts I'm working on.

The game seems pretty sound. I'd join. However, since I've resigned myself to over viewing the roles, I'll keep a close eye on this one. /, I expect a role sheet when game time roles around.

Thanks, I'll be sure to run any other concepts by you as well.

sounds good, and I would play it, but I have two concerns:

First my experience from my last mafia games shows that the activity of many players (even some known names) have been not at the desired level to secure a smooth game process. I would strongly recommend you to be selective during sign ups, based also on your experience (you play also a lot mafia games and know who are really active). Another aspect for selection should be the quality of players, I would expect that they have at least some experience from the past.

Second issue addresses yourself. I want to be sure that you are aware of the time you will need to mod this set up. Due to your game concept you expect from us some text every night which you will publish as a newspaper and as far as I understood anonymously. To secure the anonymity of them you will need to edit them so that the real writer can't be understood due to reasons like "English not being native language" or "certain posting styles" etc. Will you be able to invest all this time next 1-2 months?
