You can pry the new game announcement thread from my cold dead hands

The OP and last post of the new game announcements thread have been updated appropriately

Jose Valasquez
Apr 8, 2005

My previous posts about the old New Game Announcement thread were jokes because I don't actually care very much about who runs what thread, I honestly was surprised when Ecco PMed me that my thread was still around, but the new thread does not serve the purpose of the old thread at all.

The reason we created the old thread was so that people wouldn't have to dig through the garbage discussion happening in this thread to find out about games that were starting. "Casual" Mafia players who didn't want to sit through "game theory" and other circlejerks could just follow that thread and jump in to a game when they wanted to.

The new thread is already at 2 pages and only has one game announcement. New game announcement and in depth discussions about game mechanics are completely different. Where am I supposed to go once a year when I need a Mafia fix but don't want to dig through endless discussions about stuff I don't care about to find a Mafia game that is recruiting?

perhaps you should check the OP of that thread that has games currently in signups

The old thread worked for 7 years and I didn't update the OP past the first. Humans get bored and stop updating things.

I just don't think the solution to this thread being terrible is to make the New Games Announcement thread terrible too, but that's just me v:shobon:v

But anyway, you guys can do whatever, I don't care, it's just that being in this thread again brought out my PTSD and caused an uncontrollable desire to argue about something.

I'll continue to just occasionally play in games that I'm invited to by mods that I know are good and you guys can have as many threads as you want :glomp:

I'm trying to gauge interest in running a new Harry Potter themed game. I have it all ready and will co run it with Max.

This game is the follow up to:
Harry Potter and the Circus of Chaos (Mafia wiki description of the game)
Harry Potter and the Blood of Heroes (Where at final 4 the town got the final mafia member to scum claim in the thread.)
Harry Potter and the Mask of Gryffindor (An exciting ending but a lot of unfortunate “windmill chasing”)

These game have been kind of wild and fun to run, and I hope this new one is as well.

It's to be a large game with 27 players. I know that there are multiple games in start ups right now, so I would be wanting to running it in at least a week from now if not more depending on interest and so on. Please let me or Max know if you would want to play.

I just reread the end of HP1 and now I'm full of anxiety again because I was 100% correct but WR? messed it up :argh:
Also that was 13 years ago what the hell

I'm in :hellyeah:

How about a cop that has a 50/50 chance of killing whoever they investigate?

If the dead target was town they plant evidence and the flip says scum.

Let's add a little realism to the game

No Mafia, just killer cops and and survivors

I'm good! I have been trying to get Token Female to run a new Harry Potter game for 5+ years now and she's finally doing it, so here I am!

I've also tentatively agreed to play in another game after HP wraps up. Mafia is fun!

It's true. Given current meta it is a much better use of the nk to clear out your detractors than to hope the town overanalyzes it.

Jose Valasquez
Apr 8, 2005

Town should start analyzing nks more because it would probably work pretty well in a lot of games and it would give me more effective tools as scum.
