I suggest reviving the blitz queue

Also, I suggest pullarity lynch games with a shorter deadline. I mean automatically lynching the player with most votes if no majority is achieved during the day! This will help faster games to be more about mafia than the wagonomics and buffs the town in a positive way.

A separate queue like blitz will help people who want faster games recognize them. If MS wants to adopts faster games as a part of its culture - which was my impression - having a separate queue for it will help it a lot.

72-24 for only majority and 36-12 with pullarity lynch are my suggestions. Both are widely used out of MS and people like them.

Other sites are running 12/12 games (12 hours day) with 80+ players

and people have time zone issues but games fast like that are good for larger scales.

I think 72 - 24 is good cause it allows a full night to mafia team and removed the time zone issue

The 24 hour night means everyone will be available during night phase. All time zones have a colliding time so people will be able to talk to each other.

Also allowing day chats in blitz games should be a thing because that will help.

I think there are different newbies with different time preferences. I mean there are newbies in other communities who play 12 hour day games and they love it.

But in a nutshell, I think longer deadlines help newbies to understand the game better and I think with MS system that allows players to choose which queue they want to start playing from, the dedicated queue for newbies should host games that has at least a week-long day phases.

I really really think newbie games should have at least one-week long day phases personally. Players who prefer blitz are not "newbies". Blitz newbie games are a bad idea. Having shorter games is not about making newbies interested, It's about allowing a certain type of players who prefer shorter games and have free time to also use the platform. In other words, allowing a queue with shorter deadline games won't make players change to adapt, It will just allow the variety.

Also Blitz game is already allowed on MS. I was just saying as a way to increase this site player base - allowing blitz queue to exist might help a lot cause there are so many communities and mafia cultures that prefer shorter deadline games and such people will never play on ms because they know ms as a site that hosts 2 weeks, day phases games.

I played at MS for 2 years more or less and played on other communities and heard people talking about MS there. If you want an outside view about why people avoid playing on MS, that's the first thing that one can hear from other mafia players out of MS.
