ya, im heading back to uni soon and have always struggled to juggle mafia with irl responsibilities, i'd love to have geriatric available as a regular option.

even having a slightly higher post count to let people feel like they can be more active would be chill (25 or s/t)

Enthusiasm noted! I might experiment with a slightly more relaxed posting cap in a future game to see how that goes. I think there's a sweet spot where people feel free to post what they want but no one struggles to keep up, and it's worth experimenting with a bit.

As it is, of course, I think F11 is a pretty dry and obviously flawed setup, I just have a bit of a nostalgic soft spot for it and thought combining an old setup with the postcap was a neat idea. Will try modding something shinier when I run a game next (he says, as he puts literally mountainous in the open queue). Right now, though, I could use a break from F5ing the site every day, so it'll probably be a little bit before I run anything.

However, if there is a micro setup folks are interested in, feel free to say so.

I think the specific appeal of the game format for me came from: (1) low volume of posts/pages to read, (2) longer deadlines, and (3) small game size. The specific post limit per 24 hours was kinda cool but if it was a lot of trouble I don't know that it was really a necessary feature.

I think really I just need there to be at least one weekend per game-day phase where I have time to look at things, and not too many posts for me to get caught up on when I do. Whatever mechanism facilitates that is fine with me.

In terms of activity, I feel like any game with longer deadlines is gonna have natural lulls in posting. I sort of think that's okay actually. At least I don't personally mind.

Yeah it was perfect. I didn't feel like I was behind the entire game.

gg thanks for hosting catboi!!

[Umlaut]

Thanks for bringing it home, Joq. I don't know that I would have decided correctly in your shoes.

I like the geriatric rules, and I think if they're used more often people will get accustomed to posting more and not being afraid they might run out.
