Are the potential modslots meant for any FM Mod to host their own game (example: Obi can take a potential modslot and host a SFM game, despite that it's Met's Queue)? Because wouldn't it eventually get boring and repetitive to host/oversee the same brand of FM game every single time?

Also, will we be allowed to create our own ECOs or do we have to use a current FM Mod's ECO?

I probably won't join a queue for hosting until someone really wants me to do it.

I wonder if they have copies of former FM Mods' ECOs in the hidden mod forum? There were some from Invenio and Iggy I liked, but I forgot to copy and paste them into a Google Doc before they left. If not, oh well, I primarily like Invenio allowing the Witch to make the Ret revive evil roles, but Mel does that anyways.

1. Potential mod slots are for the FM Mods, if any choose to take up the slot.
2. I don't see why you couldn't make modifications to someone's current ECO, just make sure it is approved by a mod.
I don't think we have copies of the former mods ECO's, apologies.
This was not the scumslip you were looking for.

Oh well about the former mods' ECOs. I think I remember most of what I would have wanted. And thanks for the answers. :)

Question:
Will you ever switch which queues you run? I wouldn't be surprised if you get bored of overseeing the same brand of game so frequently.

Why doesn't the NFM rolelist have an SK anymore?

because why not?

The NFM rolelist is constantly changing. Every 2-3 games it shifts, based on what rolelist we like, what is becoming the norm in other games, what we thinks works for balance, and whatever we feel like. SK may be in the next few days, who knows.

I suppose it could happen, but not for a long time. The potential mod slots help with that a bit.

They used to be so much smaller before the system change.

With the new FM system in the early stages, I am wondering how many games do you plan on running at the same time (combined, not for each FM Mod). Will it be about 1-2 of each brand? Each FM Mod hosting 1 game at the same time?

Also, who's Zinthos? They have mod permissions in Signups and Game Threads.

Also, Day Chat was originally in NFM, however, when Godfather became a regular role in NFM, it was decided it was obsolete. With the removal of Godfather, it was decided to add Day Chat back in. Furthermore, Day One lynches has become the norm in a lot of forum games. Therefore, it seemed only natural that NFM progress and behave much as normal games do.

No idea about Zinthos, however, I will tell you that we were testing out the hosting abilities for guest mods, so, likely an alt being used to try things.

I'm pretty sure it's one of each... and I was 99% sure that was posted somewhere...

Except for NFM which will be run as needed.

Met did make an announcement about the FM change and how many mods will be in charged of each queue. But he did not definitively say how many games would be running at the same time. # of mods in incarged of the queue is different than how many games will be running at the same time.

You all never removed permissions from Zinthos. I saw them posting in Role Ideas the other day. If it's not an alt of a FM Mod, I find it pretty funny that they haven't realized that they have mod permissions. Their sig does hint that it's an alt of a FM Mod though.

Thanks for the answers. :)

Zinthos is an alt to test things in the host group.

As far as games, we will be trying to go for 1 of each type going at a time, with standard having 2 (As we have 2 mods).
NFM will be an as needed basis. Probably 2-3 going at once.
