Special Marathon Weekend: July 25-27

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:52 pm

Post by mith »

As discussed in the Open/Semi-Open Design Challenge thread, we are nearing the point of being able to take pre-orders for a deck of Mafia cards, which a number of users have been working on behind the scenes. I recently challenged everyone to submit Open and Semi-Open setups for possible inclusion in the rulebook as suggested setups, and I have compiled a shortlist of these which I would like to see playtested if possible. For that reason, I will be opening the Marathon forum this weekend.

I don't have any plans to restrict the forum to
only
Open/Semi-Open games; however, I would like to prioritize getting those run, so we may have early signups and specific time windows set aside for some of those games (particularly the larger ones). You are also encouraged to try out any other setup proposed in the challenge thread, or in the Open Setup Ideas and Discussion thread, which you think might be good for face-to-face play.

That sucks. I dont have a laptop/desktop to use for this.
I apologize if certain words are misspelled. My sister got too liberal with liquid drinks near the laptop.

I will not be running a mafia game during this weekend but I may consider joining one of these games to help play test it should I have the time
When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly

I'll run The Madmen if I can get enough people. If you're interested in being in that type of game, PM me and let me know what times work best over this weekend. I'm not available Saturday afternoon (noon to like 4PM EST).

I'd like to play that one, I think it's pretty flawed.

I think it would be a good idea to link these specific games here when they go into signups, to ensure people see them and they actually fill.
