Retro mafia: Interest thread

You'd be happy to compete in ten mafia games simultaneously, without making any errors or forgetting what's occurred in which game?

 

Love Eds and I both using 10 as an example

 

I'm turning into Prez

help me

 

No. People would have had their games fully prepped if we hadn't been using the particular queue system we have been until now. It's just unfair on those who have been waiting.

If you're going to abolish the 1-game-at-a-time rule, at least let those who have been waiting have a chance to run their games.

 

I remember the days when you used to like me

 

That makes sense, but the people in the queue haven't made their game because they assumed we were still on the one-game unwritten rule. I'm happy to play more than one game at once but there's definitely a limit (perhaps at two, IMO), but those people who waited get priority over Howe, even if I'd much rather play Retro mafia than something I know nothing about like Firefly.

 

Skippos, N11, Mousey & Escath are in front of Howe in the queue. If they all agree for you to go in front, then it's fine, you can start.

 

Look, I want to play a number of games in the queue, but I don't want to play them at the same time because I like to focus on a single game or two. Even if that's not what you personally want, you're still likely to play worse if you're involved in more games. It's just basic common sense really.

The situation we're in now has only occurred because those in the queue atm thought there was a one-game rule. If we give them a chance to sort themselves out, and they get their game going, then good. If not, you're welcome to swoop in and take over. They get priority because it's something they've been thinking about for a while whereas you've just finished hosting another game.

 

BSG is in about d3. There'll be a good week or two before it's finished. Making an interest thread now would be nigh pointless because you'd have to have reconfirmations and such. Not everybody rolls like that.

Oh please. You're completely twisting my (and Eds') words. Noone said you wanted to start 10 games now. That example was just to highlight that there is such a thing as "too many games," which you disagreed with.

I'm personally not against multiple games at once, to a point. I'm against you pushing the queue. You've just finished modding a game. Others are keen to start games that have been waiting for longer than you. There is a queue. If you disagree with that principle, then argue that, but don't just think it's your god-given right to jump to the start of the queue. As Eds says, check with the others who have been waiting and FOLLOWING THE MAFIA CODE OF THE SITE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY AGREE WITH IT. Just because you want to change it, doesn't mean it's right to leapfrog those who have been waiting longer. Put yourself in their shoes.

 

In a way I agree but how else do you suggest we do it? I think a poll based on what people want as the next game really is a much better idea because first-come-first-served really doesn't promote decent games. It'd also promote innovative thinking as mods would have to think up some interesting ideas as well as a strong theme to get votes.

I just fundamentally disagree that 3+ games running at the same time is ever a good thing.

 

I want to be in most games because I find them interesting.
I don't want to be in more than 2 games at once because I lose my focus, and play much worse as a result. Generally quality decreases.

I imagine there's many more people in the same boat.

What do you think of the poll idea? Do you not think that would create interest?
