So, I talked to Chris and pretty much got MLBHoF straightened out, which I think means…

You can put it on the boaaaaaard, yes! (as in ##Queue it for hopefully the summer, 25 players)

It is the truth. I am sick of badly balanced, poor excuses for games we've been seeing lately. So called 'great' hosts throwing us their leftover scraps. I want to sign up for a game and know, as either side, that I am going to have a fair shake of it before I get scanned night or one shot night one.

FFD.

You are the one to take me from this desert wasteland into a waiting paradise of balance and amusing flavor.

Only you can deliver me.


Couldn't User of the Year have ended on Day 2?

I don't care who makes a game, but if FFD wants a small game and everyone wants FFD to host next, then Speed is next on the queue if we can find him.

I should pay more attention to this topic. Hmm

I can balance perfectly well if I want to do a normal game.

It's just that I usually find that boring.

As long as a game isn't completely unbalanced, and thus unfair to either faction, it doesn't matter if it's slightly lopsided. Sometimes there's good reason to have it tilted a certain direction. A fun game, preferably with good flavour, should get priority, then balance. I've always subscribed to the belief (and I know I'm not alone) that you should try and make a game with an edge that people will want to talk about and remember for more than two weeks afterwards. Anyone can make a bogstandard mafia game with a given theme. When you get it right, you get games like American History/Soul/Stargate etc. Not to say that you need an interesting 3rd party to make it a fun game though!

8-man game where Town has a vig?


Either way, I think that the standard balance conventions in terms of "games shouldn't be ending before X" get thrown out the window when the playercount drops below 12 or so.

balanced just means that both sides have an equal chance at winning. so you could have a balanced game with like.... 10 extra kills

swinginess is the problem with games that can end too early or games with too much power that are played more at night and with luck than during the day

Thinking of putting Sin City mafia on hold in favor of Ghostbusters mafia if there's enough interest. It'd still be awhile before I could host it though.

Inception or that flavorless game, I reckon.

Baku said he's going on a vacation and won't be able to host until he's back (Unless Chaos goes really quickly so he can get it running and done before he goes)

I guess Guild Wars might be another choice, if people want another large game?

if that's what people want, sure
I think the people on the small games list have been waiting a long time though
