get a co-mod. someone who can not only review the setup for you and give you a second opinion on all the mechanics/roles but also someone who can help you with vote counts if you are busy one weekend. especially if you are using roles that are not commonly seen, you should get an outside opinion. maybe xiivi. maybe marshy. maybe ronike. xiivi is my usual answer but the others would also do a good job if not a better job due to more experience.

consider trimming the game down to a smaller number. think about what all of the roles accomplish, if anyone of them clash with each other in game design, and see which ones you should use and which ones you might want to cut. 18 would be better than 20. 16 would be even better than that.

include a fair number of vanilla townies. in a game with 20 players this means at minimum 5 in my opinion, and that is a small number already.

be patient and revise the game over and over until you are happy.

I've got Marshy helping me out with the game. Just PM'd him all of the details (I had too much to say over AIM atm lol) so we're gonna work on it. In terms of co modding with needing help with vote counts and such, I think I'm safe to go with it but if I need any help I'm open to helpers.

Also it's 20... with a catch. I can't really explain it now. And there aren't too many new roles. Most of them will be explained at the start of the game anyway. They aren't like crazy wtf roles lol.

20's too many. People will lynch to get people dead, and it won't fill up.

Twenty is to large of a number for a mafia game unless you know it will be filled. If you were to pre-in a lot of spots, such as like Tom's Left Four Scum, it would be a different story. But as such, I so think it is possible.

Jake is definitely dropping Yoshi
/out if I'm signing up for any of the games. I joined way too many mafia games at once, and was busy over the last two weeks, meaning I have alot of re-reading I have to do, and just adding more games would be suicide. I'll be spending all day playing mafia lol.

I'll continue the games I'm currently in (other than a few, which I have asked to be replaced or will in the near future), but other than that, I'll stop signing up until some of my games are done.

signups for chacos and toms 20-man mindscrew mafia have started

20 is okay because im probably going to get unlimited vig shots or something

also an experience cap will be needed so no signing up unless you have completed one game of mafia on here

Heh. I don't think I'll sign up (3 games plus evolution is plenty), but I'd love to see the setup and watch.
