I will be unlikly to get something up tonight. Someone didn't PM me about new schedule until yesterday. Guess I know who I can rely on and who I can not. I should be able to get something epic for next time like AiTP 3 or some heavy neighbors or vidge gamesWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Sorry I was unable to make it. Given the the general attendance I will have to make something big and advertise the hell out of it for next time and hopefully that will draw others to marathon day in generalWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Nov crash day marathon and January Marathon were awesome. Sad last crash made them disappear . I rain AiTPPPP3 and it went real well
I had planned on doing some epic drinking games for this marathon but given the recent crash and real life stuff I haven't had time to advertise or get anything big in design. I may run another War in the Palace or some Bad Idea or Texas Justice Variant this March but other than that nothing big just some small little crazy thingsWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Marathon participation is a tricky thing...
'Joking'
The best solution to get participation for marathon day is to have everyone drink alcohol. They drink and have fun games and because they can't drive away from home later they are encouraged to play more games until they pass out
'Seriousness'
I will think of a solution and tell you when I get it

Pretty sure I have run some pretty good and big sized marathon games before. The recent site crash and confusion over days I think stifled this one. Also the times I ran big games they were further apart so maybe more time between them ain't such a bad ideaWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Idea I got for improving marathon days so far are as follows:
1. Run Global Anouncement threadalwayssaying when they are. Not just a week before
Chance of success small given it wasn't really effective this time. Not sure if that's crash related or whatever
2. PM people X time before it occurs. And or send a Mafia Scum Newsletter to emails
This idea could be effective but its a little impractical. Send a MS news letter with only info on Marathon Day? Seems like a small news letter. Perhaps one could pool all the queues and include info in the letter relating to ALL UPCOMING games being run on the site in ANY MS forum whether it be marathon, themepark, coney, normal, etc. This news letter could bring some people that left the site because of the crash back. Also let's face it, I hate it when I hear about some games too late. I know some players like Fonz and Gurgi were very sad when they missed Mith's 3rd california. And a news letter could have prevented that. And I'm sure there are other games and instances where stuff like that has happened. I know I been sad when I missed signups for a good game. Another possible impracticality issue is how to send emails to multiple and or all active members and even then, some people may block they email as spam.
3. Considering the recent crash related issues, pending how the higher-ups plan to do server updating and or data saving in the future. Perhaps every so often you could close the main site and have only the shelter open. During this time only marathon games would be run and site updates and saving would be performed. And this would be done in some regular and desirable intervals. This idea could strengthen marathon days and overall prevent crashes or crash related hardships in the future. However this idea would likly cause some effect on other forum game participation. And I don't think we want to hinder general site activity at a time like this just to help marathon games. Also I am not sure of the liklyhood of crashes in the future or your guys current plan to handle that stuff in the future so how helpful this idea will truly be there is not all in my hands
I don't have other ideas at this time. but I hope I have at least got the creative juices flowing on how to effectively fix all problemsWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Mr Rogers: So what games you want to run this time?
PokerFace: I am not sure I want to do another Udrink or WITP. If enough people ask me to run them or are online for them, then I guess I will
Mr. Rogers: If you do another WITP, you shouldn't use AITPPPP flavor. After all, your side has never truly won
PokerFace: I do like my crazed imagination bastard games. Remember when I ran two bastard games each with 12+ people during one marathon special.
Mr. Rogers: It required alot of advertising. to get that many. You think you got the time and effort to do it again?
PokerFace: Not really, though I could do a sequel to one of those games?
Mr. Rogers: Your time traveling flavor was entertaining in Two Face Mafia though not enough to compensate for the lack of advertising.
PokerFace: People didn't know what they were getting into then. If I were to get around to ever running Time Paradox Mafia, I would have to see if there is still an audience for a game series with vintage flavor. I need to test those sort of waters exist with something more classic.
Mr. Rogers: Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
PokerFace: There was a fad of Bad Idea Mafia games back in the day that got alot of people in a short time. Guns everywhere, people dying left and right.
Mr. Rogers: You have difficulty counting votes and keeping track of day kills in past mafia games. You will have to be sober, but even then I think running a Bad Idea mafia game will be too much to control
PokerFace: Then I think I'll combine the concepts of Bad Idea Mafia with the success I did have in the past...
Mr. Rogers: If you are running THAT gametype, you should realize its not mafia.
PokerFace: And the games during the Bad Idea Fad were mafia?
Mr. Rogers: I guess they all can be considered mafia if you make that comparison. And since you will be running it during a marathon special, people should not get too investigated in this type of crazy bastardness
PokerFace: Then let's bring in the title screen on the true sequel to Bad Reveal Mafia!
Coming to a marathon special near you its....
EVERYONE IS A SK MAFIA!
Everyone's Role PM wrote:Just as the title says. You and everyone else in the game is a serial killer. You can send one kill via private message to the mod each night. You can vote, lynch, and talk during the day. All deaths will be revealed as "XXX has died, he was a serial killer." You can also talk at night in the same game thread! Carefully pick your victims and make the right alliances. Be the last standing to win!When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

I have received some inquires about the game. Allow me to field them here
Q1: Am I missing something? Won't most days end in a no lynch?
Yes, I realize alot of days may end in a no lynch, especially earlier on. But then if you want a good chance of winning, i imagine some players are going to try to make deals with others. After all everyone is on the same playing ground so you will need to make deals to better your odds. Those with the most silver of tongues and means of controlling their reputations have the best chance. Consider it all a way of combing the aspects of survivor and big brother and mixing them with what it means to be an Serial Killer
Q2: I'm confused, How is this mafia?
All talking is in the game thread, so pretty much everyone can be considered part of a majority. However the actions you perform at night with your kill are ultimately decided by just you. So you are a minority informed with the whereabouts of your kill vs the uninformed whereabouts of everyone else's kill. Every death is being revealed as "XXX has died, he was a serial killer" so I'm not going to say who killed who and when until the game is over. You won't know when some one has made the concious decision to betray you until its too late
Q3: The equality of everyone being able to kill and be killed at any moment is going to very chaotic. This is going to be random lunacy and not much of a mafia game.
Sometime ago I came up with the idea of something called "Killing Spree Mafia". A small town version of Tarhalinder's Worst Idea mafia. The ability of each gun would be outlined. People would pick guns and then alignments would be sent out. I have not run the game because the effort of creating alot of balanced weapons is likly going to be outdone by the randomness of who picks a gun first, who gets what weapon, and what side they end up on. After all Tarhalinder's worst idea was a prototype of Unreal Tournament Mafia which was ultimately won by the mafia getting ahold of a broken weapon combination. So I have considered running my own prototype game, to gauge general chaos. "Everyone is an SK mafia" is going to be my prototype. I plan to add new aspects to this game type until it develops into a balanced "Killing Spree Mafia". So yes the game is going to be crazy, but after the beta, most problems will be weeded out
Q4: I think your game would be better if you allowed PMs outside the game between the players.
Yes, I have considered this possibility. The only reason, I have decided against it, is if I allow outside game talking between both players and possibly non-players it will inevitably take all action outside the game. The true entertainment of the game for spectators, those already dead, and the moderator will be lost. For the first running of this game, in thread talking seems needed for entertainment and testing. Should i run a second game perhaps I will choose to allow the outside talking there.
*
Considering what I have said here, some people might now ask "Aside from outside the game talk, what else might you add to the game in later runnings?". Something I may add to the game in later runs to control the general levels of chaos is something like a hurt and heal feature. Something simular to what's in Mr. Flay's War in Heaven Games. Basically I might allow players to send shields and not just kills. If you got more shields then kills that target you at night then you loose the shields and live. This variant of the game may need factions (town and mafia) and not everyone is a sk. Developing on the strength of the shields and guns you can send may be a more successful means of running "Killing Spree Mafia", but for now let's give the craziness of everyone being an SK a try and see what that nets usWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

I might also try two other kill limiting mechanicsIn post 253, PokerFace wrote:Considering what I have said here, some people might now ask "Aside from outside the game talk, what else might you add to the game in later runnings?".

Only person that gets targeted the most dies at night (This is same mechanice I used in Bad Reveal Mafia. Ties = both die)
Or I could mix it up and person with most and person with least (but not zero) die
I am running "Everyone is a SK Mafia!" in the Afternoon on the 12/28 for a few reasons. My other games are effectively 12am GMT. Europeans need the option to play one of my games. Also if first running goes well maybe I will re-run the game later that day while introducing whatever mechanic I think would improve it best. Beta Testing! I ran AITP games to gauge or beta test how WITP would normally play out. And now I will create a series of games with lots of deaths !

Uhm Dan, we had 2 spontaneous games this year that were upwards of 16sirdanilot wrote:The marathon games are not how I remember them from YE OULDE DAYS.
In the old days, it went like this:
Marathon was only one day, or at most one weekend. There was a plethora of people online all weekend. Games were spontaneously created and were filling at a stead yrate every time, except maybe during down-time hours in the US (where most people live). You could just go to the forum and join. I was often playing several games at a time, which is of course very hectic but also very fun.
Now, it has just become a forum where you can announce a 'live game'. I can't just pop in to join a game. Spontaneously created games don't get enough players.
In short: DAYS OF YORE WERE BETTER AND I WANT MY OLD MARATHON GAMES BACK
One tied and one set the new marathon player record count unless i am mistake

To my knowledge, yours is the new marathon record bulba
Zach and I got second with 16 in his first king maker this year and the 16 i got in Bastard Face Mafia of March 2009. I do not believe there was a bigger game before those. I had that record 3 months shy of 5 years. Congrats on taking it from me.

Looks like my concerns of taking over things were overzealous since that thread has not taken off. Maybe i was egotistical
At any rate I would still like input on improving "Everyone's an SK Mafia" in a means that made it more mafia like.

I've taken some time to think and come up with ideas on how to make "Everyone is an SK Mafia" more Mafia like
If I can't make it mafia, then the players will do it for me

Interesting, so you would say Saturday was the most worthwhile day? can you get numbers based on time of day or can we perhaps add a poll to this thread to discuss the best time of day to run a marathon gamelMr. Flay wrote:Back-of-the-envelope math says 15 games out of 26 ran on Thursday (not counting No Effort), 11/16 on Friday,19/20for Saturday (not counting ZPE), and 6/9 on Sunday, mostly supersmall games. I'll leave it open for Monday, but I expect people will have trouble filling games what with it being a workday, tired, etc...
My games did not get well off the ground this time (partially because of my own absence for most of the weekend) but I would still like this data to help improve/encourage overall attendance for future marathon daysWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

I don't think there were alot of replacements this year
If we wanted to find the right values we would likly need to be unbiased. Would need to go by actual game start time I think since that would best guage the signups and run of the game. Also would likly be best to go with GMT since Mith in UK is that or go by UTC to get more precise with the date
Would likly need two data results groups. one based on how many games were run at what time. And one based on game size at that time
That or perhaps the easier way of doing things would be to measure how many logged in users were browsering the marathon forum at each time GMT-wise. If this data can't be found as its in the past perhaps something can be setup to capture this info during the next one

Considering my history of marathon games I'd like to campaign for Marathon List Mod. I am of good standing and receiving the ability to open the this thread upon the agreed upon marathon days is something I can do. It is a privilege I am not stupid enough to abuse as I would likely loose alot of people's respect, site rights or be banned for life if I abused said power. Thus I will not do it. Besides I'm sure all the scum hunters would catch me and lynch me quick.
