Noctis, I'm not against you playing, but actually play this time. You play so horrendously that it's seems almost intentional.

Cut whatever it is you've been doing the last 10 games out. You are always spiteful to your own faction. Your behavior as town and many other times as town shows a trend. An ugly trend. Even when you were on my team of scum not so long ago I had to tell you in the QT to shut up and stop posting in the game. That should tell you a lot.

You have reached a level that is far below Radish's status because Radish at least plays the game... in his own twisted way. You -and I really hate to put this so bluntly- just suck at mafia. I've held my tongue for so long but you play again and again without any improvement.

Wasn't there a line up of mods waiting to host a game before last game... where are they now?

Yeah, linkz and wonk wanted to host I believe.

Mantle should host. It will be a great break from actually playing. You really don't become a complete player until you host.

Halloween themed please! Castlevania will do, but there are other themes you can impose. You 'are' the host after all. The power goes straight to your brain. Just ask Mr. Kitten,

Hmm....

How do you effectively host a game? Also I know nothing about castlevania :( If there is any theme I can do properly, it's Yakuza. Or maybe God of war or some random theme with my own story, like you did.

Halloween theme would be pretty awesome! The timing would be perfect.

The fact of the matter is that we'll go along with the theme chosen by whoever steps up to the plate to host.

Yakuza would be pretty interesting. I don't know much about it but it is rather appropriate haha

Kiryu sen!

Just put together teams such that one won't have a great advantage over the other(s), decide on how you want the game to run (time limit on days?  majority/plurality lynch? punishment for lurking? etc.), and make sure people follow it.  Warnings and modkills are really your only tools so you have to use them wisely. 

Flavor isn't necessary.  Obviously it can be screwed up if you aren't careful and ruin an otherwise completely balanced game.  (Fortunately for me, the deputy immediately getting lynched combined with the cop ... being radishhead ... counterbalanced the flavor meta disadvantage mafia were faced with due to my mistake.)  So don't feel like you're obligated have to have a game with flavor. 

On the other hand, if you want to do flavor, go for it.  Just make absolutely sure people can't use the flavor to scumhunt in any way.  If you want help with balancing the teams, or anything else, find someone to help you (they probably won't be able to play since you'll probably be giving them lots of info about the setup that players shouldn't know ... unless you go with an "open setup" where the roles that are in the game are public info).  You can also have a "co-mod" who can be in the thread while you aren't, doing official votals etc.
