I post during work times and I post after the kids are gone to bed (usually after 7:30) so there's definitely scope for you to play the games just as I do. And I dont play all the time, about 3 or 4 games per year at the moment which is mostly down to work and busy times. Most games here have enough killing power in the game that its over by Friday, so you could sign up and play knowing that you're probably going to be free by the weekend coming. I'm all about the kids too. But there's definitely room to play and room not to be here when its kids time. Plus, you have a phone, you can get in the odd minute here or there too

So I’d suggest that even vanilla people could have a backroom to post their thoughts. A mod could respond sometimes, and it’s entertaining reading after the game ends to see the thought process. I don’t like the night lock at all. Sure, we play this when we are bored and not in work. Closing a game at 10pm means fewer random songs and bull posting. A time for the fluffy, and less fluffy people to let their hair down. Discord is grand, but I was wondering, can anybody get access to the relevant discord server. Still don’t have access to the last game myself. It can be interesting to read other people’s musings. Whoops - edit. I’d be completely against the idea of having a more experienced player guide a new player along the way. Goes against the spirit of the game IMHO. Sink or swim guys.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have more niche themes because most people will play for the game rather than the theme. I'm thinking more just to catch people's eye when a new thread comes up on the home page. That might be a reason for the decline in the numbers.

I shall give it another few days but I think Terminator will be the theme. (I can do another niche game down the road..... bye bye Serial Killer Larry David! :pac: I shall begin working on an OP based off 14/15 players and post it as soon as to promote the game and to make things as transparent as possible for new players. As I have said, its fairly vanilla (5 roles max). Each role will fit the theme nicely I think. However there is a new role mechanic and Id love to discuss it with a mod or another experience player who has time to ensure its not too complicated (I dont think it is but Im biased).

I almost lost my mind playing that game and then afterwards when we lost after so much hard work, I was deflated and I don't really feel like playing anymore. It's not anyone's fault. I decided to spend more time doing other things. In the last werewolf game, I signed up as a favour to make up the numbers. On the day I had intended on contributing more, I was munched first thing. Unlike other times however, I wasn't the least bit disappointed to log in and find out I was dead. I have signed up to moderate a game due to commence in 2022. I've been contemplating whether to remove my name from the queue. I haven't decided yet. If people want me to do this sooner than later as my level of dedication is uncertain I will. I've never modded before and I'm not fully aware of what is required.Thoughts * I'm not a fan of the Day 1 munch, it's random and unfair on a player who signs up to be killed off before the game has really begun. Rikand doesn't abide by this method and I prefer their format. *Post limit is a good idea. It'll result in quality over quantity. *I would like the thread locked for night and then locked halfway through the day for an hour (so roughly 3-4pm). Every time it is locked I would like a simple basic summary of what transpired e.g. "X was poisoned, X was shot dead, X was munched". * I think too many players sign up who have no dedication to meeting posting and voting requirements and even if it means pulling out last minute, they should let the moderators know out of respect for everybody. * I don't like non-anon games. It's less 'mysterious' and leads to bias against particular players e.g. "I think X is a wolf, because he doesn't do that when he's village". *I prefer a forum backroom over Discord. *Generally speaking, I don't like it when players have bullets and go around shooting others without any discrimination or debate. Annoying! What else? I think that is it. Someone should run Aliens Versus Predator and The Lost Boys games if I forbear. I'll sign up for those.
