Big games are more troublesome to balance and drag on for too long but if we get a lot more people there's the possibility of running two smaller games side by side.

If they haven't yet it would be nice to give these new players a chance. Then again I only have one game under my belt with 15 people and that was hard enough. Not sure how 5 or so more would affect that. Would probably open it up to multiple factions fo sho.

Games tend to run better with fewer people. 

The way you balance out a lot of people without ending up with a game spanning several months is usually including a lot of killing roles.  Unfortunately the end result with that is that you have a bunch of people that get to play for 1 Day and then are gone.  Plus the more roles that shoot people at night, the less likely it is that the Town is getting a fair shake at winning.

So if you scale the numbers back a bit then you end up with, usually, a better setup and a list of replacements for people who have unexpected V/LA ( Vacation / Limited Access ).  If we start getting near the 22 or higher mark or we have people who would have the time/inclination for both, I would consider running two smaller (11ish) games side-by-side.

Boo, you bore. *hangs up*

So is starcraft the confirmed theme then? If not may I suggest weekend at bernies the video game? :P

Oh no...looking at the top of pages..my only weekness >.< lol. That's good :D. iz goin to be good.

also confusing weak and week is my weakness

A couple information points for those tracking this thread:

- I'm moving to 5/2 cycles for day/nights. This will lead to faster phases. If anyone objects speak up now.

- I'm planning a Very Non-Standard game. It will likely be one of its kind. All disclaimers and cautionary bumper stickers will apply.

- Smeags will co-host, assuming he has not changed his mind.

- Informal poll question:


Do you guys want...

A) Table layout for all vote counts.
B) Standard layout for all vote counts.
C) Table layout for the first page count from previous days and standard layouts for the daily counts.


Standard Layout looks like this:

( 3 ) Words Of Wisdom: The Penguin, Catwoman, Harley Quinn
( 2 ) The Joker: Batman, Words Of Wisdom

Not Voting: The Joker, Mr. Freeze, Robin

With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch. The deadline is The Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium.

I for one don't enjoy the bastard elements and prefer a more standard game. Thoughts, anyone else?

I vote layout C for votals. Votals similar to the ones we used to count ourselves, plus a daily table.

I would like the same way as before, with the table. It's neater and easier to read I think.
