chill out my dude

I believe it happened once in an early NFM and it didn't seem to go so badly, I forgot who won though. So it does have its uses, but generally it's a suboptimal strategy early on but late game it's good but it's generally reserved to MyLo/LyLo situations. Plus games would get a bit boring if everyone just claimed quickly, especially in TFM games and things like my upcoming SFM. Massclaiming in a game just depends on the current situation in it. That's really it.

There was a D2 massclaim in an NFM that ended up with a town win, but that's the only example I can think of.

The mafia initiated the massclaim tho so...

7I had a premature massclaim.
Triad won. <3

Also >CFM2

I'm not surprised if there was an early massclaim in an NFM game. I'm not a huge fan of its setup (but I've neglecting to give Mel feedback for two months now whoops). But in most games mass claiming outside of mylo isn't always he best idea. A lot of times its down because town is in a really good position or people are too lazy to scumhunt and think that claims will help them find scum. Either way exposing information will have its drawbacks- look at Episode X when town mass claimed as a result of a lit fuse. Town didn't lose a single citizen until all of their power roles had died.

We have attempted larger NFMs in the past, which resulted in the game going inactive, as most of the players disappeared. It's difficult to fill 14 players as it is.

There is a normal FM, called Standard.

I had a suggestion regarding FM signups.

Would it be possible to setup a mailing group to notify interested users via PM when sign-ups for a new game are almost ready to start?

I feel it is very easy to miss the sign-up phase for non-NFM games, since new games are posted only a couple times each month, but they tend to fill up in a few days or less. I understand why the current setup is used for most games, since allowing players to pre-join games too far in advance creates more work for the host, due to low confirmation rates.

And there are ways to stay informed - checking the Signups forum daily, watching for new game announcements in the News or Announcements threads and hanging out in the Discord chat.

But it is still pretty easy to miss out. :|

A mailing group would probably help a lot of people stay informed and facilitate signups on larger games. I was thinking of something similar to what the Testing Ground uses to coordinate their games.

What do you think?

If you subscribe to the forum ( go to the signups forum and click on "subscribe forum" on the bottom left ) you should receive an email everytime a new topic is posted I think.

Were the mod apps all a big charade so when you inevitably picked Swords it didn't seem like mod bias?

Swordsworth was the only non FM mod to play along with Met's bad meme of pokewatch avatars. Does this confirm mod bias?

Open answer question here for anybody, apologize if this is not the place for it-


Can you play FM relaxed and unconcerned? Casual.
How much time do you allocate for FM?

Here's my opinion:

1. Nobody's going to stop you from playing relaxed and unconcerned, but it wouldn't make sense go into a SP with that attitude.
2. Enough that it isn't too little that it hurts your team.

How much times is that, would you give?

I get that it fluctuates on a day per day basis and no one whose ever stayed with FM gives a set time aside for it. How much time would YOU say someone should give.

I don't set aside time. I personally just check in when I'm not doing anything else.
