(OLD)Newbie Game Queue (Players and Moderators)

Hi All,

Having never played on this site I'm officially a newbie and would like to /sign for the next full game.

A few questions in preparation:

1. How long does a newbie lobby normally take to fill?
2. What are the day/night phase lengths for newbie games?
3. Are all newbie games variable open setups?
4. Are there activity/post count requirements?
5. Are gifs allowed in game? If so what are those commands?
6. Is the distribution of players such that experienced players will be balanced amongst town and mafia?
7. Do these games use hammer voting? (And does hammer automatically end day phase?)
8. Are last wills allowed?
9. What are the commands to vote a player?
10. Do Mafia share day and/or night private chat in newbie games?
11. How many questions are considered excessive? :-O

I appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance,

-Frog

P.S. Is there any way to claim the unused 'Frog' handle? I've been using it on SC2Mafia and MafiaUniverse for a few years now.

Thanks Maestro!

Being unfamiliar with day phases longer than 48 hours, I'm a bit wowed by the game day length being 2 weeks. :-O

And about hammer voting - not all sites use hammer voting. I.E. Hammer Voting = As soon as majority vote is reached that player is officially lynched.

The alternative to hammer voting are variants of time voting. For example, it doesn't matter who gains majority vote at any time of day other than whoever has either majority vote, or most votes by the end of the day. Ties may either be randomized or result in a no-lynch (or in custom setup rules result in a random town lynch, endless possibilities, etc.)

Plox send me guttsa's rolecard, or at least give me the go ahead.

Thanks!

I tried... no success yet.

I'd like to practice with the website (commands, feel, meta) before I enter any competitive games here.

Looking towards future games, which games hold the highest esteem hosted on this website? I know some people from my home site play here, maybe they can give me the heads up. Any invites to those games appreciated.

None really. Different strokes for different folks - it's like asking whether the winner of the 100m sprint is held in more regard than the winner of the swimming competition.

Yeah I understand the variance of vanilla, open, closed, size etc. affecting play style sweet spots.

Thanks for the tip- play everything. Lol.
