9 players
A relaxed and casual atmosphere
A hideously Townsided setup
Plurality lynching at deadline
And a scumsided deadline mechanic to even the balance.
Instead of prods and time based deadlines, the Day phases will last a certain number of posts. This will both stifle town's ability to hunt for scum AND give scum a chance to go for a satisfying game ending rush of posts.
Coming to the Micro queue when I'm good and ready.
And hey, on the plus side you won't have to read 50 pages per day!
Also it looks like it hit a wall, being in Mish Mash instead of the Mafia Large Themed queue. So I'd check with Bob via PM to see the status of this if I were you

Greatest Idea Mafia
Coming soon to a Large Theme (?) queue near you!
Greatest Idea Mafia is a semi-open setup with UPick-esque role choice mechanic that allows players to choose their role and alignment given a set of options.
146 different role cards from the list found here.
Two weeks per day phase/48 hours per night phase.
No hydras.
Balance explicitly not guaranteed.
I'd like to run this as a 14-21 player game in the Large Theme queue, but I'm not sure how much interest there'd be. I'll decide whether to stick with a Large or make it a Mini based on how many pre-in's I get. If you'd like a spot send me a PM today!

I'm building a few games right now. This is one of them. Your encouragement helps. More to come soon.
- U-Pick. Literally ANYTHING. Special Mechanics... maybe?
Number of players
- 16-25. It's a upick, i can be flexible
Are hydras allowed (Yes/No)
- Sure.
Your modding experience
- lots.
Current modding commitments
- Helping on a large theme, and am 2x to host on newbie queue.
Reviewers
- yeah there'll be a qualified reviewer or 2
Reviewers agreed to FINAL version? (Yes/No)
- sure.
Backup or co-mod
- tbd
Backup or co-mod's experience
- tbd
Backup or co-mod's commitments
- tbd
Is it possible your game has any of the following: cults, mid-game alignment changes, moderator lies that cannot be reasonably anticipated (for example, Godfather, Tailor, Miller, Ninja, and mechanics like that are generally fine. Telling someone they are a reflexive doctor when they're actually a PGO is not), secret win conditions, un-divulged non-randomness in player role/alignment generation, direct moderator influence during the game? (Yes/No)
- no.
Anything else
- if you're gonna pre-in, send in your u-pick. I'd rather not force people to wait long and it's easier if I'm able to generate some decent roles sooner rather than later. Also, if you're gonna do some kind of weird/esoteric flavor, a link to something which gives useful background on your flavor would be helpful.

Spoiler: People attempting to join my game, future, colourised
-Probably a large theme.
-Definitely gonna have a lot of mechanics and be generally quite ambitious.
-Beep
-Probably not gonna do stuff with stats and leveling up because that would be batshit insane
-Heavily flavour-based game, where it should be very difficult to determine who is good/bad by flavour, minimising need for fakeclaims
-Slavery is endorsed
-Slavery is opposed
-THERE WILL BE CHANGES
-Almost certainly will include a bounty mechanic of some kind
-Also will include a mechanic for the removal of limbs and replacement parts
-Beep?
-Characters are easy to understand because everyone is basically an NPC
-The world doesn't care about you
-Praise Okran
-Get eaten by beak things
-Get eaten by fogmen
-Get eaten by cannibals
-Get eaten by blood spiders
-Beep!
-Welcome... to rebirth.

Stellaris Mafia
Entering the final stages of review...
So here's a quick rundown of what's coming:
Stellaris is a game of interstellar exploration, war, and intrigue. You are the leader of a civilisation which has just entered the galactic stage. You swiftly discover that the universe is much larger, and much more intimidating than you could have ever imagined. And you are not alone...
Stellaris Mafia will introduce a number of custom mechanics allowing players to forge their own destiny amongst the stars throughout the game. You will be able to customise things such as your assigned empire's species and society to an extent throughout the game as well as research exciting technologies to further develop your capabilities. All of this will grant you new abilities and powers which can be used as you deem fit to influence the game in a manner of your own making. I will not lock players into forced mechanical behaviours, instead I shall give you a framework to explore the Stellaris theme whilst retaining player freedom and creativity as well as balance to the extent possible.
I delight in taking certain themes and translating concepts that belong to them in a way they can fit into the game of Mafia. This often results in fairly crazy games, and Stellaris Mafia is no exception. Me and my reviewers have taken utmost care to make sure nothing ever feels downright unfair or unfun. That being said however, you should not join if you're expecting a standard game. This game
will
contain wacky new mechanics and abilities. If this is your cup of tea, great! See the spoiler below for a list of reason why not to join however as well as reasons for the contrary if unsure.
Spoiler:
DON'T JOIN IF:
You're seeking a light-hearted game.
Dislike vote manipulating mechanics.
Dislike ability heavy games.
Dislike having fun.
DO JOIN IF:
You love plotting and scheming with the addition of new elements.
You love Stellaris, sci-fi, or anything spacey in general.
You hunger for craziness.
You couldn't care less about a game being non-standard.
Accepting up to 2 more pre-ins.
Spoiler: Pre-Inned

It’s Daylight Savings, which means we just moved our clocks forward. So it’s time for the next iteration of the series where time may not keep working the way we want it to...
