Long term health of mafiascum

I would like to remind people that Blitz games are an explicit function of the Mini Theme queue. I occasionally see threads where people go "we should have blitz games"...but the fact is we do. People don't run them. I did Blitz month in November, which was great. We had a bunch of Blitz games. But before that...I had 2 blitz games come through my queue my entire tenure. There doesn't actually seem to be the demand for it that people think there are. Anyone at any time can go to either theme queue and run a Blitz game. It just doesn't happen in practice.

I'd like to see more blitz games, and that's why I go out of my way to encourage them. I am probably the biggest proponent of blitzes on site. Despite that, I recognize that the desire just isn't there. Despite giving blitzes their own month (which I will do again this year regardless) we failed to maintain interest for even the entire month.

It's a mod-supply issue. If more mods wanted to run them, they'd be more visible.

If you receive a PM from a banned user please report.

Because the users who are banned are the type of people we want in our community? Like, I'm okay if people who hold white supremacist views feel unwelcome here. I'm okay if people who hold some very hateful views of LGBT+ feel unwelcome here. I'm okay if that locks out potential newbies as a result. That's fine, they can go somewhere else.

If you have the ability...talk to Kison. He isn't going to say no to coding help.
