Simple Mafia 4 is going to be a little different, and I want to go ahead and start the sign ups so that folks can ask questions and we can discuss how it should work.
The format will still be simple and no-flavor, but it's also going to be what is called a teaching game. Sign-ups are unlimited and not capped at 15 players. I'll design a game to fit the number of people who want to play. Each player who wants one will be assigned a mentor who is an experienced player. Most of the mentors will come from another site where mafia is played, but if you would like to be a mentor, we can discuss it.
When you sign up, indicate if you want to be mentored or want to play without a mentor (independent). You can also indicate if you want to be a mentor, but I may not take all (or any) volunteers depending on how the numbers work out.
Sign up like this:
1. joe blow (any of the above)
2. john doe (student)
3. joe smith (independent)
4. sam gamgee (mentor)

Re: Simple Mafia 4 Sign Up
I'll see about the timing and how the numbers are travelling.
I've signed up for the RatSkep game starting Friday 25th so I might give this one a miss.

Re: Simple Mafia 4 Sign Up
The mentor and mentee usually figure out something that works for them. When I've mentored/been mentored we've usually done a combo of instant messenger, shared google spreadsheet, and PMs. The PMs were especially good when we both weren't online at the same time, or if one of us wanted to write up a fairly detailed analysis. But it's completely dependent on what the parties involved work out for themselves.Charlou wrote:How does the mentoring work? Is it via PM?
Re: Simple Mafia 4 Sign Up
I'd be interested in having a mentor, but the communication aspect sounds time consuming for me atm .. I'm interested in playing so you can count me in, but can I let you know if I'll play as an independent or student a bit closer to the game?
Oh, I'll be unavailable from June 30 until July 10, which will come up soon enough. Leave me out if the game looks like falling during those dates.
Cheers.

I may make this game 5 instead of 4 if it looks like that would work for more people. Either way, it's good to start talking about it now, because teaching games take more time, due to figuring out who needs mentors and who can be a mentor.
Also, some mentors put a lot of time into it and some are more brief. I can take that into account when figuring out who should team up with whom.

Thanks, that would be good.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
