What Murdercat's card game stuff?
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?

Haunted Village
The last 2 runs were a horribly townsided setup and a horribly scumsided setup

I don’t think it’s going to take up that much of the meta, but yeah, we should probably fix that. The trouble is that it ended up being pretty significantly townsided and would need some major retooling.

Pick Your Poison is now in signups in the Open Queue!
I expect everyone who said they liked it to join, or else
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

great analysis! also cool to see the coalition in the most popular opens, and that infinity card thing also looks interesting, i'll have to read that.

Necro-bump for a couple of reasons:

1.) I've been slowly piecing together ideas for a 13-player open, but I'm in no rush. I want to make sure I get everything right and then run it by as many people as I possibly can to get their opinions on balance/fun. So like...months down the road. I'd rather create one great open setup than just throw together the first thing that pops into my mind. Perhaps more importantly for now though...

2.) I've just recently set my sights towards actually playing games in the Open Queue. As someone who has been on the site for just over 6 months, I'm familiar with most of these setups as a reader, but have never gotten a chance to play any of them. While many players may be tired of some of those "ancient" setups, I'm rarely seeing more traditional mafia setups run that would appeal to my individual tastes. I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but a lot of the games that I see run in the Open Queue in recent months are a bit too gimmicky for my liking (personal preference. I'm not knocking those games or those who enjoy them). Some of the older players may be bored to death of stuff like White Flag, Pollock's Flag, 9:12, Twin Trap, etc., but that's the kind of stuff I want to try out :lol:

Again, my experience with these games isn't as a player, so I can only offer what kind of games I've enjoyed reading. Overall, I'm not a fan of multiball, but I wouldn't mind trying Fire and Ice or Jungle Republic at some point. Although I enjoy NewD3 in the Newbie Queue, I'm generally not interested in other semi-opens except for maybe 9:12. I don't personally want to play stuff like Stack the Deck, Pick your Poison, C9 variants, but they seem to have a big appeal for others. Nightless anything just seems painfully dull for scum.

Just figured I'd give my $0.02 as someone with a fairly recent join-date.
