i dont actually play mafia on a regular basis any more (the schedule is still shit tbh and id like to have it removed), so my main concern is getting joke games unbanned

how does playing these in the mafia board distract from regular games especially when most (read: like the 3 we got to play before their sudden ban) of them are just supposed to be 1-hour games between close friends
 
i have no problems with the short games, and i don't feel they're doing any harm at all

i think this can be resolved

what you should do is have a period of time in which people can submit nominations for changes they would like to see. then, when the time is up, hold a vote to allow people to pick their favorite proposals. the poll should of course allow each user as many votes as there are options, since obviously someone might agree with multiple proposals

of course, this won't really tell you what you should do, but it will give us a good feel for which possible changes are popular with the community

That sounds like a good idea.
 
Oh also the banning of joke games seem stupid. Even if people are playing them to satire/mock/whatever, they're still playing them =/ let them have fun.

I agree. I haven't been bothered by them at all. Although that may be because I'm asleep when they happen.
 
On "joke" games, I rather agree with MG1 about how they can simply go in forum games. But I find the fact that "you can get banned from hosting" if you create a "joke" mafia game to be a ridiculous punishment.

So ridiculous that I'm sorely tempted to make a "joke" game to thumb my nose at such a ridiculous rule. I won't though. Yet.

His point was that I should recheck my argument? I don't see any need to. I know what I said. The schedule should not be removed. The person arguing for this change is Uniju. Uniju is complaining that without the schedule, he'd be playing Turb's mafia now. He would not. He'd be playing it sometime in May or June, had she put it on the schedule. Instead she left it to die out. That's not the schedule's fault, that's lack of dedication by the host. Meanwhile, the people who actually play mafia are saying that everything is just fine.

No, Turb told me she would host mafia...

I don't think they're banned they just have to put them in Mindless Junk.

As I've said I put a proposal to try and separate the live games from the schedule.
I think that they should either be done in Forum Games or the chat board, though. But no reason to remove the schedule.

As for suggestions, we do have a General Discussion thread...

@Uniju: Turb's cancelled mafia.
