Normal Queue Rules
Stolen from N, who borrowed them from Tierce
General
The queue is divided in two parts:
Mini Normals can have a maximum of 13 players.
Large Normals have a minimum of 14 players.
All flavour in Normals must be public and entirely original. Flavour based on any sort of source material is considered a Theme game.
Roles must use standard names, and Role PMs should not contain flavour.
The game can have either one or two Mafia/Werewolf groups and no more than one Serial Killer.
There must be at least one Vanilla Townie, and a sample Vanilla Townie role PM must be made public.
There can only be a maximum of one Non-Normal role in a Mini Normal game and two Non-Normal roles in a Large Normal game.
Only Normal mechanics and roles (besides the above variants) are allowed. See here for more information.
This queue is only for games currently in signups. If you have a question about a currently running game (which is any game once I have declared it full), please PM me. If you wish to pre-in for a game not yet in signups, PM that game's Moderator.
The only acceptable posts for this thread are /in for x, or /in to mod. Ego posts, and other off-topic posts will get you warned and if you continue, a time out from the thread.
I will announce when games go into sign ups. Until there is an active game, any /in to sign up will be ignored.
Mini thread numbers are shared with the Mini Theme Queue. T-Bone and myself have a thread where we keep track of the numbers, don't fret.
Players
Please post in this thread to be added to the game currently in signups.
When there are two games taking signups at the same time
, please specify which game you are signing up for (e.g., "/in mith's game" or "/in for the Large game"). In those occasions, non-specific signups such as "/in" or "/in for next" or "/mod" will be ignored.
If you change your mind after signing up for a game (but before it begins), please create a new post saying so (e.g., "/out"). Do not edit your older post, because I may not see the change.
There is no experience requirement to sign up for a Normal game. However, playing through a Newbie game is recommended.
Each player can only be active in a total of four Mini games (Normal and/or Theme) at a time. Hydras and alt accounts count toward this limit. If a player dies in an ongoing game, that player is considered released and is free to sign up for another.
There is no limit on how many Large games you can be active in.
All pre-ins need to be confirmed in thread within 48 hours of the game being announced.
Hydras are not allowed in Normal games.
Moderators
To sign up to moderate a Mini Normal, you must have been active on the site for at least 3 months and have completed at least one Mafia game.
To sign up to moderate a Large Normal, you must have been active on the site for at least 3 months, have completed at least one Mafia game, and have moderated one game to completion. First time Large mods are limited to a maximum of 21 players (this may be waived by the listmod on a case-by-case basis).
You may run a game that qualifies as a Micro in the Mini Normal queue, but you must have the prerequisite experience to run a Micro and it will only count as running a Micro for experience.
Please post in this thread to be added to the moderator queues ("/in to mod a Mini", "/in to mod a Large", etc.).
Once you've signed up to mod, I will send you a message asking for all the relevant information for your review. It usually takes about a week after I receive this for a review to start, but it can be longer in times of high demand.
To moderate a Large game, you need a co- or backup moderator (must be eligible to run a Large Normal).
Only one Mini Normal game will be in signups at a time.
Only one Large Normal game will be in signups at a time
Games that do not fill within four weeks may be pulled from the queue.
You are expected to have a setup ready for review when you sign up to mod a game. Please see this post for more information.
Potential moderators can only be in a single Mini/Open moderator queue (Mini Normal, Mini Theme, Open) at a time.
Potential moderators can only be in a single Large moderator queue (Large Normal, Large Theme) at a time.
Moderators must wait until the game they are moderating is completed before joining the queue again.
If you have moderated two games to completion, you can run a Large Normal concurrently with one other Non-Large game.
Please respond promptly to all PMs I send you. If you do not, you may be removed from the list when it becomes your turn, as I will assume you are no longer on the site.
You have 72 hours from when your game is announced to begin your game or it will be given to someone else.
Your game number should either be in your thread title or in the first post. This is extremely helpful for archiving purposes.
It is also very helpful if your first post stays up to date (even after the game is completed) with players who are dead and alive. It helps keep track of limits for players, and we like to have a record of how games have finished.
Moderators have the right to reject players from their player lists, if they feel that player will be detrimental to the game. The moderator should ask the List Mod as well, who will then communicate the information to the player. Please do not abuse this.

This is the new Normal Queue thread, for minis and larges. A couple of housekeeping rules:
1. Please don't post ego posts, or any other form of off-topic posts. There is no need for it, and it makes my job harder. I am doing this for your benefit, so don't be a pain in the backside.
2. If you have a question, please PM me. I will do my best to answer it.
With that said and done - Errantparabola's 16p is still in signups, and I think I've got the signups correct so far.
mhsmith0's mini normal is also in signups. If he has any preins, I will update the list.
Please, if you are confirming preins, or just inning, make it clear which game it is. If you don't, I won't count your /in.

Right. I apologise for making a mistake copying over the old Player List, but in my defence, it's been on the front page for nearly a week and no-one corrected me. That said, do not be rude to me in the thread. You didn't need to type in ALL CAPS and you didn't need to make two posts about it. One would've been sufficient, and a PM even preferable.
This is the correct player list, from what I can figure out:

LicketyQuickety's Mini Normal 1847
is now in sign ups again. The reason for this is the fact that a slot was compromised pre-game due to a site bug. As a result, LicketyQuickety still wants to run the game, but it will now be an Open Game.
Not counting this as an /in for JaeReed's game then. There isn't a second game in signups. I also won't remember this so you will have to re /in when a new game hit signups.

In post 318, Naomi-Tan wrote:Its not our fault you merged the ques :I not everyone likes large games.. Its why the old que used to have both large and mini' signups at the same time with one taking the /in next's while the other is just a sign up for mini-exlusively
1. I didn't merge the queues. The queues were merged long before I got here.
2. There are no mini games in signups because they are taking a while to get through the review.
3. The rules for the queue are very obvious in the first post.
4. If you have further problems, PM me. This is not the forum for it, as it says in the first post.

Guys, I will post in thread when a mini normal is in signups. Until that point, any /ins for minis will be ignored for my own sanity and the sake of the moderator who is running it.

Mini Normal 1862 has filled for XnadrojX with the following player list:
Gamma Emerald
Naomi-Tan
Asphodel
Flubbernugget
TwoFace
-Grey-
The RealGin-N-Tonic
Rainbowdash
krylea
All Alone
Human Sequencer
Alisae

There will be a delay for the next few days as I am currently suffering with personal issues. I am going to try and let another mod take over for a week or so, but it's more difficult with Normal Review PTs and stuff. Please bare with me.

Hi all,
I would like to thank you all for your patience with me and the Normal Queue. There are obviously delays and things - there is a backlog of reviews waiting, but we are trying to sort it out - hopefully by New Year things will speed up.
On top of this, I have created a second list for people who /in to signup, even when there aren't any games in signups. I will add you to that list, and then PM you when signups have gone in - you then have 1 week to respond to my PM to ensure your sign up for the game, if you do not respond then I will use the thread.
I hope that's okay - any questions, queries or suggestions, please PM me.

Now going into signups - Shadow_step's Mini Normal.
Shadow_step has indicated that he would prefer players with 1 game's experience, so I have taken those from my first post list with that and added them to this list:
KainTepes
Zachstralkita
CloudKicker
Alisae
ssbm_Kyouko
BlueBloodedToffee
Desperado
All Alone
krylea
Elena Fisher
Please /in to signup. If you have got a game completed and I've missed you off, please let me know. There will be another mini game in signups soon after anyway. All on the list will be PMed to confirm their desire to still play.
