well, in that case, if we have the powers, then I would be glad to let extra people play- but if we don't then the two games really are the same. (and honestly, that's the reason they games split into two in the first place, methinks... because of the overflow from mafia)

**joncha** · June 20, 2004, 18:55

Assassins is really just the Mafia over-flow game, so I think there really isn't a big need to differentiate it too much. I think we should use it to experiment, though.

The powers idea was great, but I think maybe we should simplifiy it a bit. Otherwise it might intimidate new players from joining (which is the whole idea of assassins in the first place).

I think maybe we should relax the joining rule to prioritize people who aren't in the Mafia game instead of banning those who are.

**DarkCloud** · June 20, 2004, 19:02

I agree with that, joncha- I'd like to play in both games and can understand the concerns.

anyone should be able to join... people should just be prioritized if they're not in the mafia game

**Skanky Burns** · June 20, 2004, 22:27

I agree. People alive in the mafia game can join here too, but if the game is full and someone else wants to join, the mafia people get bumped off the list regardless of when they joined. Seems fair to me, although we will have to have a set standard period when joining the game is allowed, to give those who may want to join the chance to see the thread. A week, perhaps?

is it because people hate closed voting?

is it because people don't like my GMing?

we should at least be able to get 16- over that many people are dead in the mafia game.

what's the problem? this is sort of annoying.

I think it is because of the rule of "mafia or assassins, not both". At some point it was bound to happen that the 2 games would end at the same time, and people would prefer to get into mafia if possible.
And not having done the closed voting yet, I can't comment on it. But I can say that experimental things tend to appeal to a smaller group than tried-n-true, if for no other reason than the t-n-t has already found it's niche.

I support allowing people in both games, with the rule that people active in one game are lower priority than others.

**Imran Siddiqui** · June 20, 2004, 23:20

I'd agree that the either or is the reason. I'd love to play in this game... but not if it meant I could never be in a Mafia game.

Nah. I don't like Mafia because of docpiling.

Damned mafia bigots.

Think ye're too good for assassins?

**Skanky Burns** · June 21, 2004, 06:59

Mafia - the original and the best. I would gladly join here if it were allowed though.

**Zopperoni** · June 21, 2004, 07:12

What's DoY doing signing up for both?!

O, and once Kassi confirms that he's going to run the corporate theme, I'm withdrawing.

**duke o' york** · June 21, 2004, 07:23

I didn't sign up for this game.

**Zopperoni** · June 21, 2004, 07:36

Hm, reading back, then I suppose you didn't, but DC did put your name in the signup list...

**duke o' york** · June 21, 2004, 07:45

Oh. Maybe I should have checked that and had it removed sooner.

**DrSpike** · June 21, 2004, 09:14

I'm withdrawing from this for now. If it is decided later to allow players from Mafia to join at a lower priority and you need players I'll join here as well then.
