ONLY, PLEASE, NO SCROLLS. ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?

Is it possible to book a spot in advance for December? Around the 11th or 12th.

I liked the Shivering Isles more than Cyrodiil:rolleyes:

Can I reserve a spot for December in advance?:) Around the 11th or 12th.

I'm afraid I can't plan that far ahead. I'll try to make a note of it... :o

Alright guys, up for a game of Mafia?

Give it away, what the heck!

The bartender sent a message to everyone that new artifacts had appeared in the Thirteenth Sector after the surge, which are two or even three times more expensive than usual, and this meant that they were two to three times more valuable.

unexpected, isn't it?

As an advertisement:
I can help anyone who wants to run a game by coming up with the setting and giving the newspapers a narrative style, as well as helping with the clues.

I don't want to run it myself because controlling the actions is too stressful for me -____-

unexpected, right?

There was a typo there. I've already fixed it.

Initially, I wanted to respond in ICQ, but I think it would be better to do it here so that people who share a similar opinion don't have any questions left.
What's the point? Hostor tells me that I am unfairly accusing the current setting of being poor, because I myself ran a not-so-good game.
What happened? I wrote a humorous post with a setting, after which Vegtam, in all seriousness, persuaded me to run it, and inspired, I started the game, which I regretted on the very first game night. But I was the GM, and I was the only one responsible for the game.
The game turned out to be incredibly bad and poor, both in terms of the setting itself and in terms of the GM, i.e., me. It was the worst game of all the ones I've run, and I've never denied that.
But a poorly run game doesn't deprive me of a sober and unbiased opinion.
Yes, Hossi, you're right – I'm picky. I'm not someone who enjoys bad things.

Also, I was a little surprised by Hostor himself, who turned out to be capable of drastically changing his attitude towards a person just because of a couple of contentious posts.

I suggest implementing the following:
Someone posts a scenario, and players respond (preferably in a separate thread) about it. And, if at least more than half of the voters are *in favor*, then the game will be played; if not, there's no point in running the game.
This is to *filter out* bad ideas.
Personally, I've lost the desire to run Mafia games after reading some posts on the forum. So it's better to say in advance who is against it, so that nothing like that happens later...

The setting doesn't bother me much; what matters more is the quality of the newspapers, clues, and the game as a whole.

the main thing is to run a Mafia-themed game with pirates and some other setting (Fallout, Stalker, Dune), where my avatars would fit in, and then do whatever you want.

Frankly, I no longer feel like hosting Mafia games after reading some posts on the forum.

There are only a couple of posts of my authorship; there's no need to exaggerate. And, by the way, they are supported by a rather weak stream of players who want to sign up.

Phew. You have a very big ego. You're not the only one.

the quality of the newspapers, clues, and the game as a whole is more important.

I absolutely agree. The quality of the setting is a subjective thing (some people are fans of the Stalker theme, while others can't stand it). If a Mafia game with a "uninteresting" setting is played at a good level in terms of clues and other aspects, it will still be interesting :)
The idea of voting is good; it will help not only to find out how much players like the setting but also to see how many people are willing to play in the upcoming Mafia game.
