Yeah, but what you're not understanding is that a few years ago, 150 pages would have been one of the all-time longest games. Rolling In The Deep (NY142) was in the 160s or something (a bunch of the pages were eaten in the Great Tiger Attack of '11-'12 - CONSTANT VIGILANCE) and it was I think second longest for a while. Its D1 lasted 84 pages, and was briefly THE longest day on record.

Now, those numbers are unremarkable. A large game's D1 hits 100 pages as often as not, and no one blinks if it tops 200 pages by the end of the game. Now there are D1s that are as long as those epic old games, and some games are topping 500 pages. They're also getting faster paced. Anyone who's been around a while will tell you that most of the really talented older players have been drifting away from the site, or restricting themselves to semi-invitational games like Camn's Revenge.

I have a much longer manifesto about this, and I'm designed a massive large game with an eye towards combating these unhealthy trends.

The problem back when I was active years ago was word count, not post count. I distinctly remember Zoraster modding a game back in the day where he explicitly placed a maximum character length in the rules.

Multiple infractions were handed out.

Pine's game seems like it could turn into an absolute trainwreck with the wrong playerlist, but I would like to pre-/in in the hopes of being wrong.

Accepted, though traditionally you should PM the mod.

Pre-in slots are nearly full. Wisdom of the mod is in effect.

Thank ye.

Game Name:

A Village in the Woods

Flavor/Mechanics:

This will be a complex, flavor intensive game where not everything is as it seems. Players signing up should be beware that there may be mechanics at play that they may not be made aware of and they may not have a clear idea of every aspect of their role.

Your Experience:

Open 242

Current Modding Commitments:

Number of Players:

13

Hydrae:

No more than 2

Restrictions:

Due to the complexity of the game, I am requiring at least 2 completed games.

Is it possible your game has any of the following bastard roles or mechanics?

cults, mid-game alignment changes, moderator lies that cannot be reasonably anticipated (for example, Godfather, Tailor, Miller, Ninja, and mechanics like that are generally fine. Telling someone they are a reflexive doctor when they're actually a PGO is not), secret win conditions, un-divulged non-randomness in player role/alignment generation, direct moderator influence during the game

Expect ambiguity, but no direct lies. I reserve the right to refuse to answer any question, though you are certainly welcome to ask.

I can confirm pre-ins from Albert and Drealmerz.

I believe I count 9 /in's so far?

[Socrates]

Noting that I have given Ibuki permission to play.

So one more for a full game!

[Socrates]

Alright, I will get the thread set up and role PM's out by this evening.

Edit: assuming I get thread creation privileges by then.
