So the 2 person family with a godfather and a regular, and the 3 person with a boss and 2 regulars, or something like that?

If people want to start late tonight/early tomorrow morning, looks like we'll be doing 19 people with a 14 on 5 configuration - just gotta break down the mafia and decide if we want to go with the exact same townie/ISK roles as last time or some something minimally invasive like splitting up the investigator or something similar...

Just tell me who is playing and what roles we are going with and I can send out the info tomorrow morning. ;-D

Maybe we should get moving with who we have now. I suggest the only change in role we make is splitting the investigator into two roles (like I mentioned a couple of pages ago-one finds mob, one finds isk).

My thoughts:

I don't think we need two crime families if we only have 19 or however many. It just seems that 14-on-5 with 2 crime families is actually a little unfair for the Mafia, clearly the Mafia not all being able to work together is a disadvantage for them. Whereas 14 v. 5 is a nice ratio, given that both sides have some special roles. As for the special roles, I think they're fine how they are now. I wouldn't mind seeing sensor or tracker added. Now if we have 21, then I would say 2 crime families is kind of cool. But I think having a "crime family" of just 2 members is a little small....

As an aside, I don't see the huge advantage of splitting up the investigator role. I don't think it hurts the town any, but I don't see the huge advantage in having one guy find the one ISK (but it's not really important to me, whatever)....

But it's no big deal either way; let's get this game on!! ;-D

I'm a fan of small changes if any. I really don't care either way, but if we go crazy on roles I think it will turn into much more a crapshoot than actually evaluation of players/posts and such. Where is my PM?

OK everyone, I am going to have to bow out of this one as a player and just mod from the sidelines, so time to take J's role - you guys figure out the exact roles and distributions you want and then let's try to get this thing going in the morning/early afternoon tomorrow if possible.

Looks like 19 is the big number as I've heard back from most invites/feelers, so let's assume some form of a 15 on 4 with more mafia roles or a 14 on 5 with more regular mafia - I'll let y'all hash out the details and then let's get this puppy up and running already, OK?! ;-D

Let's just go 14 v 5 and not get crazy with the roles. split up the investigator if you wish, but let's not go crazy. Send us our PMs and let's get moving.
