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.

I would still like some more input on this, for those of you who haven't already responded and a big thank you for those that have.

OK - the votes are in - let's do this thing. PK's game has just started and the next sign ups are not yet posted, so the timing is perfect to split it up. The split will happen as soon as PK's game is over, but I am putting up the lists now, so people can see which game they should be signing up for. Here are the final results:

A League

The A list is longer than the B list because we have 5 very infrequent players and because the B list can grow. As time goes on, we will promote some players from the B League to the A League, if we continue to get new players.

If I left anyone off, feel free to shout, and any new players will start on the B League.

He has, but somebody nominated him anyways.

I actually think that was wise. If an awesome player who has left us comes back to join in a game at some point, we don't want him devouring the B League players. Let's put him where he belongs, if that happens.

You forgot me. This is for players right?

I knew I was leaving somebody out - I had a complete list of people who had been nominated to go on for the A league, but I just went from memory for the list of everyone else for the B league. Sorry about that - the omission has been corrected.

Playing and hosting.

Generally speaking, you host in the league you play in. See the hosting sign up thread for details.

You can still invite A League hosts to join:

However, I realize that means that some people are not going to be able to play games by their favorite hosts, if the host in question happens to be in the other league, so I propose an invitation system: If you want a host from the other league to host a game for your league, get some of your fellow league members together, and, if a majority from your league agrees, and if the host is willing, the host will be able to sign up on your league's host list for a game in the normal rotation.

Also, two side notes, that may or may not have been brought up.... I skim too much.

1:We should have a new poll thing every few months, in case someone gets better, or a new player needs to be upranked.

2: Also, I'm not sure how you did it this time, but I think the rule should be that a person needs at least two(or three, maybe) votes to be A-rank. This would be to prevent someone who's A-rank to vote for his friend(Who deserves to be B-rank) because he wants to play in the same game.

Hopefully this will all work out for the better!

Actually, I'm not going to post what I was going to. I really need to be less pessimistic about everything.

You've been posting a lot of those lately. I'm really nostalgic about everything, but I don't usually show it. ...Usually... Anyway, I think the split list idea will work well.

Wow... I'm more towards playing in the A league games, but towards hosting B league ones. A little annoying, it is.
