We're slowing down just a bit and have enough players for the three planned games, so I think I might accept 80 was a bit of an ambitious target, leave this open a few more days just for any late-comers, and then split people between games.

Growing too fast is a thing too Crab, especially since this community isnt even 8 months old. Going from 1 game to 3 concurrent ones is more than I expected when I first came into this. 😆
I think we will need ~30 players for the Cthulhu game. Depending on what the other two games plan we may need more.
The game counts probably shouldn't vary too wildly. I don't think we want a game ending several weeks after the other ones.
World Domination is slower than it looks from the outside.
Yeah, especially if we're trying to do this in waves. It'd be more platable if we just had some sort of a queue, a revolving door if you will.
Edit: AC Mafia has taught me bad habits
May not always be possible. But for Season 3 I think the differences will not be too big. 21+, 24+ and 30 at the moment.
There is also the possibility that a game ends sooner than expected.
I thought yours was 21+?
20-30 is what I told crab.
sigh.
I want to get going too. The sooner I get killed n1, the sooner I can move on to waiting for the next game.

They can discuss the details/target beforehand in their private thread, if that's what you're referring to
Depends. But largely the kill is normal and they have to choose who carries it out.
Every kill is unique mate. there is no such thing as a "normal" kill.
I mean aside from a modifier like stealth or something.

Hey All. I'm an indie dev from Ohio and I thought this thread would find our new, upcoming interesting. It is called Devil's Bluff and is a 12-player murder-mystery game. Imagine an online game of Clue or a virtual game of Mafia/Werewolf (without the roles).
Here is a short trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii9S53XKcFo
And a funny Let's Play Gameplay Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLkLRIhyxqs
We are in beta testing. If anyone is interested, shoot me an email at keyur@kbjgames.com, or DM us on Twitter @DevilsBluff, and lastly add us on Skype at jokeontheworld
Best,

Noice! I'm really digging the gameplay, the clues, and the aesthetic of the game.
Great job all of you guys!
Just one question: anyone even if they aren't the devil can kill another player? Players were attacking each other (the wizard who was the devil, the witch and the frankenstein dude) in the let's play vid.

Only Devil can attack and only when in costume. Aside from that, players cannot direclty attack each other, though they can slap one another for fun and/or if someone is being annoying. Lastly, there are traps in the mansion that one player could switch on another player to cause damage.
--Keyur
Only if I'm put in the same game as Kark and given a seductress role.
I'll sign up! Female pronouns.

I'm closing sign-up and assigning players tomorrow, and I'm going to give each of the game-runners a sort of check-list/guide-book thing so they can check some stuff about their games without me having to see them. Then I'll allow a week. So, it should start in a week and a day.

Assuming that no new players join, the games sizes will probably be 23/21/21; possibly even 21/21/21 as there will almost certainly be drop-outs and having one or two players available as replacements would be useful. I'm aware the means some of our mods will have to down-size by a few slots; hopefully that's not catastrophic.

21 and 24 would both (normally) have about four to five mafia, so unless you've got something very funky going on with many weak mafia or a few strong ones, you won't have to adjust them. That means you're taking (e.g.) three town to go from 24 to 21. If, currently, about half to two thirds of your town are ordinary and a half to two thirds are power roles, you'd probably be looking to take two ordinary town out and one power role, which should keep it at roughly the same ratio. Given reducing the number of town players reduces the number of mistakes town can make, the power role removed should be one of the very minor ones.
Yeah, I've figured out what to remove. Shouldn't impact much, though the power role I removed...sniff...the description was a masterpiece. :'(

You'll have to moderate without him. You have Karkador, MattyG, Ourobolus and LaunchpadMcQ for help, there's no need for a someone who doesn't actually run a game or have experience running a game to use for help not be in the player list.
If you really think you can't adapt your game to 21, we can always tag you out for Seath and he can mod and you can play, and maybe use your game next season. Up to you; I just think it's very unlikely we'll get 7 new sign-ups before tomorrow evening that would allow for a 30 player game so I don't think trying to stay at 30 and still run this round is possible.
EDIT: 2 games of 31 is possible, but those are big games. I'd expect each one to last about three months if not a little longer. I don't know how okay everyone is with that.
Okay. Terrabyte20xx should be fine to run in the other two games. He is still helping me with the planning.
I talked about the player count with him and 21 should be doable.

Well, in the case pray that more people sign up! We need to do something suitably dramatic. Dance, my monkeys, dance.
Still some time to recruit. Did you try to contact the players from the first season?

One of the games would have to be very small. If one game was 30 players, and one 21, currently the other would have to be 12. Those are all very different experiences, and random assignment would be unfair; people would have to chose. It's more work at this stage than just trimming set-ups. Roles are not important part of mafia anyway, if you can't trim a game successfully there's a high chance you're emphasizing the wrong parts.
