OK - I think perhaps we should give the splitting up into two groups a try. Since I am one among a "privileged" few who get the honor of being killed right at the beginning of the game for the crime being too good a player, I think the best way to cut down on some of that would be to put most, if not all of those people into the same group, which means I need some input from you.
If you were the mafia godfather, who are those you would make a point of getting rid of as soon as possible, because you consider them to be a big threat? Since this is tantamount to saying who you think are the really good players, somebody may feel left out if nobody picks them, so let's keep this private, for now. That way nobody will know if they were never picked.
The criteria is simple: PM me all the players that you would get rid of as soon as possible (no more than 10, but if there's only a few on your list, that's OK). Send as many as you think of. It's best if we do this outside of the context of an actual game, so that there are no other criteria considered. Please try to rank them in order of how big a threat if you are sending a lot of names.
I will look use your "nominations" to try to put all of those people who are on just about everybody's list into one group. Then we may have to add or subtract some to make both groups be approximately the same size. Feel free to nominate anyone who has ever played in a Hamumu mafia game.
This will allow us to have two games happening at the same time, hopefully leading to games lasting half as long and two people being able to host as once. Hopefully this will cut the waiting time to host down from about 6-8 months to about 1.5-2 months. At any rate, let's give it a shot and see what happens. We can always tweak it or go back to the old way, if it doesn't work out. Drop me a PM with your suggestions and let's get this ball rolling.
