I will need at least one reviewer for this. this will be somewhat similar to a Upick game, so I'll need someone who's able to offer quick back and forth feedback, but with the added caveat that I can't guarantee whether I'll be aiming for a mostly balanced game or a swingy, complex game (I'm guessing the latter, but it's impossible to say right now--see the original game for an idea of why this is the case). if you think you'd enjoy being part of that, PM me!
I'm still looking for people for this!
it's been another couple weeks and I still haven't heard from anyone :(

I still need at least one reviewer and a backup moderator for this (with the option to be a co-moderator if you would prefer to take a more active role and be involved in setup design), so let me know if you're available!!! I would like to enter this game into signups very soon, but I can't do that without your help!
I'm just reposting this post again since it's been another week and a half, and so far all I have is one person who has offered to review it who won't be available for about the next month. anyone???

It is a 19 player game with special mechanics. It is slightly bastard, but not in a way you'd expect.

I'm in no rush, I have loads of flavor work to do and I won't run it before July, anyway.
Thanks in advance!
July is now and I've finished the setup. I hope to get a reviewer or two?
But I know, at the end...
Shoot me a message if you need a game reviewed!

I have a setup I would like reviewed. It will be for a Large Theme game, but is incredibly simplistic in nature. Semi Open setup. It's in theme entirely because of a certain mechanic (which will be posted in rules and whatnot) and how the game works.

Looking to have a Large Theme game called "Demons Among Man" reviewed. It has an original theme, a lot of comedic role flavours, some custom events, and is designed to be more interesting and unique than anything.

Hey there.

  • I,

  • I can vote like any player, but my vote is worth 0.
  • I can be voted, but I cannot be lynched; votes on me will do nothing and are equivalent to Not Voting.

  • As an extension, I cannot inform the mafia if a town player is fakeclaiming or realclaiming a role.
  • I cannot submit night actions for the scumteam.
  • However, I CAN be sent to do the nightkill if the scumteam so chooses to elect me to do so.

    3. I cannot edit a valid vote or a valid unvote out of a post.
    4. If a vote or unvote is only invalid because of broken tags, I cannot edit/delete it because I am moderator-bound to fix the broken tag and thus it will become a valid vote/unvote and be subject to the above rules.
    5. The mafia cannot ask me to break tags in a post where tags were working, as I am moderator-bound to fix any broken tags.
    6. The mafia cannot ask me to delete essentially a whole gamedays' worth of posts.

I am planning to mod a 5P Open Micro. Because this Micro has rather unusual mechanics, I would like to have a reviewer. I have done some preliminary calculations to ensure that it is roughly balanced, but a reviewer's opinion would help.

Looking for a final review of my Restraunt Anonymafia game for an alternate site. It's a relatively large role madness game, with some unique roles included in it. I've had it reviewed before and I am confident in the setup after revising it, a last look to iron out any overlooked bumps would be appreciated.

Looking for someone to take a look at a Mini Theme setup based on an XP mechanic, where players can gain XP and spend it to activate abilities.
Edit: Thanks WhyMafia, though I'd always appreciate more eyes on it.
Edit 2: Thanks Ircher as well!

I'm happy to help, but mobile for a couple of days.

In other news, if anyone wants to take a look at a role madness micro (9 person) that's questionably slightly bastard I'd be much obliged.

Looking for an advanced reviewer who can account for many variables. We have come to the point where we need someone besides us to look at the game. We have done all we can to balance but a third (or fourth) head is required.

I'm looking for a reviewer or two for a Large Theme game based on the manga Btooom. Additionally, unless I hear back from my prospective co-mod, I'll also have a co-mod slot open if you're interested.

It'd be preferable if they have some experience running more complicated Large Themes, as in games with different mechanics rather than just odd roles.

Thanks!

I'll drop the advanced part because we need someone to look at the game at this point. This is a setup made by myself and BTD6_Maker. Any interested parties who are qualified are welcome to take a look.

hello! i'm looking for a reviewer and also someone who who would be willing to comoderate or backup mod a game. the setup is relatively simple in nature, just based all around one mechanic. i was thinking that it woud be a micro, and it's anonymafia if that changes anyone's mind. the reviewer and the comod / backup mod don't have to be the same person, i suppose.

edit: thank you to penguin_alien!

As an FYI, my understanding is that your first moderated game on site needs to be an open or normal setup, and that needs to be 3 months from when you join site. It's probably fine to have an additional setup rattling around in the wings, but i think you'll need to run and complete that setup first before you can run an micro or other game.
