if you need a place for group PMs, just make one on DDO?

Should I make a Beginners Mafia post in the Guide?
-->
@Earth
I don't see why not, although with them both being pinned, it doesnt seem absolutely necessary. However, it would add a nice touch to the ending and help point new players in the right direction 🤔

@Buddamoose
I'll see what I can do.
Though I probably won't link here because this is just the first series.
No, link here, this is gonna be a running sign-up thread. Now that the 7 player series is filled, Sign-Ups are open for the next series. Until the current series end I feel it best to limit signees to solely beginners. At the end of this series, any unfilled spots will be opened up to any willing participants. Thoughts? 🤔
-->
@Buddamoose
Eh, should be fine, though I would rather we number our games. I propose we use the same system as DDO's (x.1, x.2, etc).
To repeat:
The sign-ups are now closed. If within two days of rationals post taking the last spot a beginner does not sign up, the series will begin with Rational taking the 7th spot.
Sign-Ups are now open for the next beginners series.
Until the close of the current series, it is respectfully requested that signees remain limited to beginner players. Upon the closing ofn the first series, sign-ups wil open to any willing participants.
This announcement is official, pending thoughts and review of community members, and thus subject to change.

@Earth
That can be numbered in here as necessary fmpov 🤔
Resigning
Ok well, *sign-ups are now open again*
Rational is now replacing warrior queens spot leaving the 7th still open. The same time limit still applies from before as fmpov its not quite fair to extend that time limit by starting it anew from the point of the 7th signee

@Buddamoose
If sign-ups are open, /in
Ayeeeeee,1h has the last spot reserved. 👏👏
-->
@Buddamoose
What I always did was have a 9 player game using the matrix-6 setup, and would give 2-3 spots for experienced players, 6-7 spots with new player priority, and the rest would be replacements. If a player was better than a beginner, but not good enough to be a ringer, I'd put them in replacements until we needed more players to fill the slots.

@1harderthanyouthink
In my 3+ years of mafia, I don't think I've ever seen you play
-->
@Vaarka
I think I was an experienced player in the first beginner series you played.
Ive seen him play once or twice, but i was inactive awhile. If he's a beginner we'll start tomorrow then

@1harderthanyouthink
I think you were a co-mod
He often played on ghangouts too actually,
Sorry 1H, i was spacing on ur experience, no offense intended

@Vaarka

On the note of my experience, I haven't played forum mafia in years, and I'm basically trying to re-learn the game here. Just mentioning that if it affects how quickly you move to start the first series.
Tbh, it looks like its all experienced players lol. Not sure how i feel about throwing a beginner to the wolves like that as i mentioned before as to why i wanted to start this.... hrmmm, this is just really gonna be a dry run of the series. But the positive of that is lurkers or new users have a basic game to read to further get a sense of the game.
Ill start the series on confirmation. Information regarding Phase length and replacement policy among other things will be disclosed in the Beginners Series 1.1 DP1 Thread.
I'll start the series on confirmation
Also, I was mistaken and will be disclosing role list now. Games are usually DP start, however due to being 7 players and the given set-up, it will be a NP start for this first game. Subsequent games will be DP start.
Roles
Mafia- may target one person to kill per night
2x Goon- powerless mafia
Town
1x Doctor- can protect one player per night from being killed if targeted by mafia.
1x Cop- can investigate one player per night and determine whether the player is innocent or guilty.
3x Vanilla- powerless town
Best of luck! 👍
Is this the game thread now
In my eyes there's 2 optimal ways to play the d1.
The aggressive town method
1) Cop outs, leads a lynch and forces a lynch when they feel like it. We hesitate to sheep it and if the chosen person is doc (or mafia perhaps) they claim doctor and we don't lynch. If not, we lynch and on n2 the doc saves cop etc. This makes us more aggressively capable on d2 even if the doc dies as long as the cop's investigation wasn't the doc.
The less blood-thirsty town method
No one outs, no one talks. Instant no-lynch. We let Maf give it a go.
Which one we pick is important but it would be helpful if cop did NOT OUT until consent has been given to the aggressive method.
Note for the aggressive
If cops is coutner-claimed (cc'd) we nolynch as well (it's very optimal).

My b, should have specifically said there'd be a seperate game thread. 😂
