It's not the size mate, it's how you use it.
So, being a Mafia addict, I recently spent a day looking over my extensive collection of files on your personal lives, shoe sizes, and Mafia histories, wondering what new exciting Mafia ideas I could come up with.
I came up with a few brilliant notions (and a lot of extremely er...unbrilliant ones.) Here's one:
I'm personally very fond of the Mini Games. With dedicated players who post and use logic they are not only a quick, fun experience, but also quite interesting to watch. Since everyone posts, and games never lag, non-players have the opportunity to watch dazzling logic, Crap Logic, and er...random non-logic thrown about in a display of deception, creativity, and several other cool nouns.
Oh wait. Did I mention I dream of an ideal Mafia world? But back to my idea: the average Mafia player, myself included, really can learn a lot from watching people play. Especially in a small environment, where anyone not posting or posting oddly is noticed. So, here's the scoop:
Suppose someone runs a series of Mini Games, outside the MiniList, with experienced players - a sort of MiniInvitational. Originally I wanted to run a four/five game series with the same roles and players, but after talking with mith we agreed that this was too boring, so the updated idea would run a four/five game series with different themes: we could use the Mini 1 roles with a Doc added, the Mini 2 cops, a two family game, and a couple others.
Suppose that the players in this series are all experienced. They'll happily post all the time, attack Crap Logic, and provide fun reading material and analysis for the watchers.
Suppose that immediately after the game the players and the Mod provide analysis describing their actions and thoughts during the game, and that while the game is going on there are polls that allow onlookers to vote on who's scum, who's suspicious but not scum, etc.
Suppose also that I even have permission to pitch this idea to you all. So, experts (and I use this term loosely enough; the old-timers know who they are,) what do you think? Would you be interested in playing and providing analysis? Would you want to play a set of Mini Games with the same people? Would you want the set to be all different types?
Newer players, would you be interested in watching? Think you could learn from it? Like the analysis and poll ideas?
All players: any suggestions, comments, criticism, etc? I'm not going to go ahead with any of this until I see what you all think, but I'm convinced the idea has theoretical potential.
The practical side of it remains to be seen. But then again, I did run an Improbable Mafia, so hey...

Wow Q, nice piece of text. But personally I consider you one of the experts. That ofcourse is loosely said . I would love to watch the invitational. What i'm really curious of is if IS is going to call everyone retards in that game."Roadbird you suck! You kill little kittens for fun! Die you evil Mafia scum, I'm attacking you!

LOL !
I think that's a great idea, Quercitron! I'm sure everybody would like to watch that. I think you can learn more by watching than by playing mafia. Plus, the "old players" can play without being lynched the first day (with the exception of one, off course)."OH MY GOD, Cadmium! I can make rye bread! You must be innocent, I'll do whatever you tell me!" exclaims Mackay excitedly. - Jeep, Mini Game 9-

Sounds like fun both to play and to watch. Watching how Player A plays in Game 1 would help Player A and others figure out his style (Does he play the same way every game? Does he play differently every game? Is he the type that's going to try to decieve early on, or is he more likely to pretend he's a townie? Does he give hints about his role, or does he die protesting he's a townie?). It's helpful to know that sort of thing for later games.- Internet Stranger
