Who Would Play

[#HBC | Ryker]

In a game with 4 day day phases, 2 day night phases, 1 day replace/modkill (no prods and discounting accepted V/LA) with 13 players? And would you prefer it to a longer day phase game and why?

 

[~ Gheb ~]

As long as it doesn't become the standard I'd sure give it a shot.

 

[vanderzant]

I would play it if I could somehow have it guaranteed that everyone would have a good level of activity.

But that's... wishful thinking really, so no. It'd probably feel way too rushed if you aren't getting 20+ posts off each player in 4 rl days.

 

[Dooms]

You wouldn't be including V/LA?

If it's V/LA you should get them replaced as soon as it's mentioned honestly. It'd make it go faster, plus **** happens, so I wouldn't modkill over that lol.

I agree with the idea as a whole though.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Depends on the V/LA which is why I said accepted V/LA.

If the most active player in the game is going to a tournament one Saturday I would give it to him. If his friend who posted a grand total of 3 times in 2 days is going with him, then not so much.

I don't feel the need to be a **** to people who are obviously trying to remain active. Lurking is a strategy and I understand that, but mod sanctioned lurking in such a set-up isn't fair.

 

[X1-12]

I'd play it sure.

 

[UTDZac]

Same, I like quicker, less drawn out games.

 

[th3kuzinator]

I agree 10 days is too long for a Day phase.

I like 7. 4 seems a little quick but still good.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

I agree 10 days is too long for a Day phase.

That's the point.

 

[th3kuzinator]

That it is.

freaking wifom.

 

[Purple]

I'd play this.

 

[ranmaru]

So what's with this man? Cmon. I like em long and fast. Wow... ;-;

 

[Purple]

mmmmm baybee

 

[Radical Fiction]

Roxy beat me to the punch.

 

[Radical Fiction]

I would run this as soon as I got enough people to PM me wanting in with this warning in place.

WARNING:

******* MODDING IN PROGRESS! I DO NOT GUARANTEE GAME BALANCE! I DO GUARANTEE FUNNY AS HELL FLAVOR!

 

[ranmaru]

****ing inned.

 

[Radical Fiction]

PMing EE. This game shall be on par with Hentai Mafia.

 

[Beat!]

K, interested

 

[Tom]

I wouldn't play it, because smaller games means much faster pace means I must try harder, and I am not going to try-hard in a game hosted by Ryker advertised as "******* modding, I do not guarantee game balance." Sorry to sound like a bummer, but a ten year old can come up with funny flavor.

 

[Radical Fiction]

Tom, I didn't expect you. Nor do I expect any interest besides a couple people. It's not about to reach even nine players.

 

[Tom]

Also, maybe I am over-thinking this (or maybe I'm just thinking about it more than you did), but if the "point" is that 10 day Days are too long, why would you both shorten the Day and also make it a ******* game? Are you trying to legitimize the idea of 4-7 day Days, or aren't you?

 

[Beat!]

Nice quick edit

 

[Radical Fiction]

Tom, I'm joking. It's not about to reach that. And this topic was originally created for other people to see as I do not seriously enjoy modding games. I will gladly argue the merits of shorter phases.

 

[Tom]

You're joking about what? It's not about to reach what? I literally cannot understand what you are saying. That next sentence doesn't make sense either, of course the topic was made for people to see.... what the ****? You do not seriously enjoy modding games, or you do not enjoy modding serious games? WHERE THE **** DID YOU LEARN ENGLISH? Also, we don't need to argue the merits of shorter phases if you aren't actually trying to host a game that exhibits these merits... if its a joke game, then the point is not to host a legitimate game with shorter deadlines, the point is just to host a funny but stupid game.

 

[ranmaru]

I don't mind a funny and stupid game being short, actually.

In a normal game I'd rather keep it 10, but I'm also interested in playing for fun.

 

[Radical Fiction]

Why would you rather keep it ten?

Tom, I'm not serious about a ******* Mafia. I am serious about lowering the day phase norm, but I don't want to be the one hosting games.

 

[ranmaru]

Because I got IRL. I'd want people to have enough time to contribute and think about what they say and what they will do.

Plus I like Forum Maf better than Aimaf because of the ten day phase per DAY.

If it went shorter, the closer it'd be to Aimaf. Maybe.

=====================

But I wouldn't mind having your game be as short as you have it. It'd be nice to have some shorter ones to get a fix. Usually I want to see a reply in mafia come up, but then I'd want to play Aimaf to satisfy my mafia craving.

 

[Asdioh]

this sounds good to me

 

[Vult Redux]

While I would enjoy a more laid-backish game I would find it very difficult to keep up with 4-day Days.

And that's the major benefit to longer Day phases; you can devote less time to the game which means you don't have to sacrifice as much IRL time.

 

[Radical Fiction]

Hence a topic gauging interest.

 

[Purple]

And here's when Ryker forgets he has an older account

 

[Radical Fiction]

I sure as hell don't need it at the moment.
