When I can, Im considering running a game where the actual game thread is only for votes, and all communication is done in 1 on 1 QTs made for each combination of players. I dont know how that would work, though.

that sounds miserable

Maybe. Its experimental. It could suck, or it could be great. Dont know unless we try.

The problem is that when lurkers lurk, those QTs were awfully dead, making it harder for players to enjoy the game I think. Lurkers hurt regular games, but they really hurt those games. If my memory's correct.

What if you enforce a requirement for posting in each QT at least semi-regularly?
I also had an idea of a game where each player has one QT they can create. They can add whoever they want into the QT, but no scum QT is provided.

I think you misunderstand. I'd never do that kind of thing with more than 7 players. With 13 players, I may do the 1 qt per person thing.

I just realised that this variation could be pretty good for chat mafia.

@espeonage: that actually sounds pretty cool. I'm all for modding unique, interesting, (esperimental) setups, so I may mod this kind once I can, and have modded the other games I have in mind.
