TBD Mafia 2: The Squeakquel signups (20/???)

welcome to the signup thread for TBD Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo!
signups for this game are slightly more complicated than usual, so read this whole thing!


like many other parts of this game, the number of people who will play in this game is TBD! (that's "to be decided" in case you're unfamiliar with the acronym.) once there are at least 14 people signed up to play, you can post VOTE: stop signups in this thread, and once a majority of players have done so, signups will end! so, for instance, if we get to 14 players and 8 people immediately vote to stop the signups, then signups will officially be over. signups will also end if more than 72 hours pass without anyone else joining. I reserve the right to reduce that number if needed--if we repeatedly go exactly 71 hours between people signing up, for instance, then it makes more sense just to end it. finally, once 24 players have joined the game, signups will automatically end no matter what!

when you join this game, you also need to answer the following question:
on a scale of 1 to 5, how much control do you want the players to have over the design of this game?
you need to pick a whole number between one and five--no funny business with picking pi or anything like that.

once signups end, I will start the game thread, then a bit after that, I will distribute a questionnaire with a variety of questions about the game and about various non-game related topics. once everyone has filled out their questionnaire, I will produce a setup, which will be reviewed by Ircher. once he decides he likes it, the game will start!

keep in mind that the first TBD Mafia featured players being able to make game choices after dying; I obviously can't tell you whether that will be the case for
this
game since that was the result of the questionnaire, but you should assume that this game will feature that kind of thing.

I reserve the right to deny anyone's /in. if someone else joins the game who you think shouldn't be in it for some reason, send me a private message explaining why, and I will take that into consideration and act on it if I think it's reasonable.

one last note:
I reserve the right to replace players out of order in this game. I'm noting this now, because as per the replacement thread, doing so is allowed as long as that's something that's decided in advance.

damn you saw right through my scheme

(just in case anyone needs it, though, here's a clarification: 1 represents the least amount of control and 5 represents the most amount of control.)

I'm treating activity requirements as a case by case basis thing (it's possible, for instance, that someone could be near the end of their first newbie game but have made dozens of really good posts and have had a really high activity level throughout that game, and I'd likely allow that person in), but a good rule of thumb is that you should probably have at least one completed game on site and have a recent history of not replacing out of games, and it looks like you don't meet that criteria.

nope, because that throws off the whole premise of the questionnaire. for instance, in the first TBD Mafia, one of the questions was "what's the most advanced degree you have?", with choices ranging from "none" to "doctorate", and there were roles that cared about knowing how other players answered questions on the questionnaire (such as a cop who has to guess how their target responded to a randomly chosen question to successfully investigate their target) —if you're in a hydra, how do your answer a question that might be different for each of you? if you have a role that cares about that information, how do you make that guess if you target a hydra?

of course, the fact that hydras aren't allowed should not be taken as evidence that roles like this will exist in the final setup—this merely means that I don't want to eliminate that possibility before the game even begins.

/in 3 VOTE: Stop Signups
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

strictly speaking, I'm not going to start counting these until we reach 14 people, but I'll still count this, because to not do so would be dumb and pedantic.
