The mod list used to be divided between big vs. small games (which maxed out at 14 players). Now games are starting with 20+ people so I think mods need to make an effort to keep their games moving. Ignatious Creek Mafia started on 4/22 (1 month + 3 days ago) and has half the players still living... wut? My game started on 5/15 and ended six days later on 5/21. What gives? At this rate I'll be 30 the next time I get to host a game (and I wanna try out a concept :P ).
I think instead of "Announcements" threads mods will have a better chance at getting a faster response if they send out individual PMs reminding people to submit their night actions. I think I'll be doing this in the future; it prevents people from submitting info in the wrong thread as well. I also think the mods should keep a list of replacements handy (probably dead townies - they're more likely to keep up with the game) in mind since a lot of people tend to go inactive. Another suggestion would be to implement day phase time limits - perhaps 3 days max. Any other suggestions?

It cuts down on the work that I have to do as a mod and also gives people time ot think. |

5/25/2012 12:20:45 PM Posted: 11 months ago 24 hour time limit on NP's. If they aren't sent in by that time, waive 'em. Let the players no before the game that slowness won't be tolerated. At least, thats the approach I'm going to take.

5/25/2012 6:06:31 PM Posted: 11 months ago it has to do with the mod. relatively inactive players, like thadd, make inactive mods.
but i can relate danielle - my game also moved (and ended) ridiculously fast |

All we need to do let more people mod at a time. Your highly adored emperor/dictator/grand-poobah/all that good stuff. Vice-President to the honorable Airmax adminstration, as well.
