If you would like to host a game in Mafia Society you can apply here. Below
you will find the Hosting Guidelines and How it Works. The former details a general outline
of what should be included in a game and hosting management. The latter explains how the
queue system works and the process to which your game goes into sign ups.
As long as you are a member of this club, you are allowed to host mafia games. Whether you are new or experienced to hosting, all hosting requirements must be satisfied as outlined below. A game manager will be assigned to you as a co-host, they will oversee your game, help you host and make sure that you are satisfying these requirements.
Every host needs to post game rules for their game, you can check the rules in this game for a rough outline of what the rules should include, feel free to copy rules from other games, but must be credited to the original host or include an acknowledgement note such as Acknowledgement: [Some] Rules were borrowed from Jackrito, grave and soren. Thank you all!.
Rules must contain the following rules:
External communications (PM/IRC/etc.) are prohibited. You do not mention the game at all outside of the game thread until the game is over. It does not matter if you don't think it will have any effect of the game, do not talk about the game to anyone at all. If someone sends you a message about the game, screenshot it and PM me immediately. This will not be tolerated.
Do not quote, copy and paste or screenshot any PMs sent from the host. Doing so will result in a mod-kill. Pretending to break this rule is the same as actually breaking it. You may paraphrase, but use caution. Putting words or phrases in quotation marks when discussing private communications with the host in-thread is a violation of this rule. If you're ever unsure about what you can and cannot say, run it by me first.
Must specify the length of day and night phases
Must specify the rules about lynching clearly. For example, how ties are dealt with, whether a lynch follows a plurality or majority rule etc.
Rules about dealing with inactivity has to be clearly outlined and inactivity must be dealt with as such.
It is a modkillable offense if you quote/mention someone in a secret club that you use to take notes in. It is recommended to not use a secret club on MAL if you wish to take notes on a mafia game. This website https://www.quicktopic.com/ is recommended instead.
Role PMs must include alignment and win condition information.
Role PM Sample:

you are a Town Doctor
Alignment: Town
Win condition:
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive.

You win when the number of mafias outnumber town or when nothing can prevent this from happening.

[Ability Description]

[url=]Countdown To Game Start Link[/url]
Hosts must provide a timer for each phase
Vote counts must be updated frequently during the day
Phases must be linked in the OP
A short description of the setup is required, which includes whether it is closed or open setup, whether it is a full reveal game, if its a role madness game and games must be stated if it contains any bastard elements in both sign up and game thread. Refer to this link to know whether or nor your game falls under bastard modding.
Night actions must be posted for the game manager to check
Screenshot of the rng of roles
Inform replaced players the night actions that were taken by the player they replaced
Do not replace inactive players with a dead player.
How it works:
To apply to host a game, fill out the form below.
Have your setup prepared before you apply.
Once you have been accepted, you will be added to the queue list and a game manager will be assigned to you shortly. If a game manager has not been assigned to you within 48 hours, please contact one of us ASAP.
The role of the game manager is to check the setup of your game to make sure that it is balanced, and they will also help co-host or monitor (if you already have a co-host) your game. This is usually done in a secret hosting club on MAL. You will be given permission to open sign ups once your turn comes. If you have been given permission but are not ready to host within 48 hours of notification, you will be removed from the queue.
The Normal Game Queue uses a 5 game cycle system. Where there can only be a max of 5 active/pending games in the queue at a time. There can only be one game per host within the 5 game cycle. This does not apply to the other queues.
Game Managers reserves the right to re-order the queue list under special circumstances.
Each month we aim to reach a quota of 2 normal games, 2 mini games, 1 basic game and 1 miscellaneous game.
Outlines of each queue is listed below.
Format:
Username:
Theme:
How many members you need:

Normal Game Queue: Normal mafia games, with 16 or more players.
This queue is limited to 5 games.
If the queue is full, you will have to wait until a new spot opens.

Basic Mafia Queue: No more than 15 players.
Only normal power roles (fx. Cop, Doctor, Roleblocker, Vigilante and Godfather)
Maximum number of PR = 1/3 of player size.

If the other queues are filled or to long, you can always host your game here.

As for co-host, I wonder if I can just use the first person to die in the game as my co-host if s/he is willing to. If I cannot do this, I wish to kidnap the game manager who checks my game as co-host.
Username: SoulEaterQUEEN Theme: All any How many members you need: 7 or 14 depends on set up** When: August Queue: Mini game
**Set-up will be a mafia game with puzzle elements, and this will be a hydra based game. This means that 14 players will be required for the sign ups, but everyone will be sharing roles as "joint accounts". Communication will be done in secret clubs, and this will require some work to solve the game between the "joint account".

Typically speaking, the Death Note Game is usually under mini game because it take between three and six days to run it completion. So just curious about it being added to normal games.

Suzune-chan said: Typically speaking, the Death Note Game is usually under mini game because it take between three and six days to run it completion. So just curious about it being added to normal games.
It is added to the normal queue because it is considered one based on our classification that a game is a mini game if and only if it requires 14 players or less. Your game requires 20 players therefore it is classified as a normal game.
SoulEaterQUEEN said: It was probably because of the number of players guideline that resulted in the confusion.
Why isn't my Hydra game not listed in the Mini Game Queue?
I'd like to change my Undertale vs Underfell mafia to early August because I'll be on holiday (again lol) next week (i just got back from visiting relatives 4 2 weeks and I'm a week away from my proper holiday) so I can't do it until after the 14th >.< I'm very sorry that this runs over the 2 month limit, but the game is all planned I just can't start it for two weeks...
