I'm not breaking if people are going to try and kick Badwolf from the game if he is not in a hydra.

If you think there's no variation between hosts then I ask you to compare a game hosted by me to a game hosted by kataefi. Or a game hosted by ryker to a game hosted by potato. Or a game hosted by overswarm to a game hosted by...anyway. You're trying to insinuate everyone here is equally good at hosting and that's not the case.Basically the ideas behind it can't be applied to this environment because there isn't a large enough consumer base, and the consumer base there is, is mostly made up of the competitors themselves all selling the same abundant service.
It could be applied if there was:
A. A larger consumer base
B. A variation in services
Imagine a nation in which there was an unlimited supply of cabbages. Yet each person's occupation was that of a cabbage farmer. That's basically what we're doing here, trying to sell each other our "higher quality" cabbages.
I'm down.Idea time
Mario newbie was advertised in the mario subforum. Why don't we have someone whip up a Smash 4 newbie mafia and advertise it there?
Okay, I saw it. The argument is based on his play rather than his personality. That's somewhat of a fair argument to make given his track record and his reaction didn't help his case.Page 1 in g3S
I don't know if I ever actually posted this, but in my head, I told ya so.There are seven games in signups.
"Oh yeah, people will just wait to host their games"
This is quickly turning into a terrible idea
Make smaller games.I personally don't think any of the games would fill even if there was only one in signups. Pool of active players is abysmal right now
If dGames died, it died before hentai mafia.Dgames died with hentai mafia.
I actually have something in the works. I just need to talk with marshy.Looks like we need more extrinsic motivation to play mafia. People don't want to play for the sake of enjoying the game itself anymore.
Return of MVP debates?
After that we will collectively decide games are too chaotic and form a queue system.
The cycle continues.
There is variation, but I imagine that the variation has little effect on filling up games. Impulse is what fills games. Flavor IS a huge reason for why people join games, despite what they might say. While the set up and mod quality affects a persons in game experience it will not greatly affect their impulse to join a game later on. Another thing with regard to impulse is just the overall mood and feel of things. This is not the only time we've gone through a depression. People become busy during certain periods and interest just ins't that hight. We went through a brief period of interest during the zombies - sleepover period; then school started for a lot of people and other things. I'm not sure how Smash 4 decreases involvement in dgames, but Ryker insist it does. Furthermore, Dgames is an aging population. We lead busy lives. I personally just don't have time to really play mafia right now, and probably wont ever really get a chance to be as participative as I was before.If you think there's no variation between hosts then I ask you to compare a game hosted by me to a game hosted by kataefi.

Edit: or equally similar hosting styles. I think everyone I listed was a solid host but has their flaws (cept os)
chaco killed dgamesDgames died with hentai mafia.
I love open setups.There is no host that will get me to sign up for a game on name alone. I also don't really pay much attention to flavor. I look at setups, and occasionally the playerlist, but the biggest thing is just "do I feel like playing mafia right now". Right now the answer is just "no", and the only reason I'm signed up for Nabe's game is because an open setup is too rare to pass up around here. Seems I'm the only one who thinks so, since I think I'm still the only one /in that game, but it's the kind of thing I want to see more of, therefore I support it.
Queuequeue morechaco killed dgames
rip in peace queueless queue 2014-2014
additionally I want to add that I think I could host and fill my own closed 17-player setup in this climate within a week of thread open

You're acting like the queue was so amazing when it really wasn't that fantastic. Yes, it was orderly, but you'd have to wait a year and a half just to host your set-up so all the excitement and energy you built while making it went to waste because you'd just save it for a year and when it was finally your turn again you'd forgotten all about it. Likewise, I can now dodge a game while not waiting for it to start and then waiting for the next one to fill basically after the current one to end because half of DGames likes playing in one game at a time right now. There are issues with a new system, there always are, and calling for the old one (when it clearly had issues) isn't a fix to the problem.So ignoring the moderators circlejerk, there was a reason why the queue was adopted in the first place. Why was this not considered when it came do getting rid of the queue? (This current situation is exactly how I'd expect a queue-less mafia place to go) Was it the belief that we now have a more "mature" player base that would let hosts "take their turns?" Because 6 games in signups is showing that to be not the case
God no.So ignoring the moderators circlejerk, there was a reason why the queue was adopted in the first place. Why was this not considered when it came do getting rid of the queue?

It's a fix but not necessarily one we need. I would urge everyone who posts to different parts of the site to put advertisements in their signatures directing people to DGames.Find a way to entice new players to play mafia would solve this current issue.
To be fair with my game, I havent gotten around to even finishing the thread yet, hahahaha. So don't expect any sign ups until I do that. Ive been working thirds, so chaco is sleepy when he gets home and passes out til he works again. Im adjusting dammitI didn't buy that so I checked every open set-up at the moment that wasn't Zen's (one because it has absolutely no sign-ups, the other because its sign-ups are irrelevant as the game won't start until December even if it fills).

Swag: PJB, Chaco, Ryker, Gheb, Laundry (5 slots, 5 players, 3 repeat, 2 different)
G3S could run right now if Gheb forced the hydras into separate playerslots. That's already 13 players, more than you claim are on the site right now. Not including that, there's another 12 players sprinkled throughout different games that aren't Gheb's. That's not "less than 13", that's "25 individuals still signed up for a mafia game". Player count is not an issue.
May as well have been 24 hours but it filled in 11 days on a whole. So much for "we don't have players" or "no one cares" or "this system sucks". You just can't do the same **** in the last system and expect a game to fill.Also, for the record. Blazblue mafia will be full in less than 24 hours. On my honor.
