Current and future GMs -

By multiple requests, please add " - HIDDEN" to the end of your thread titles when you create them. This will hide them from the front page feed. We have a webDip mafia discord that we should get all the past and present regulars in and we can ping when new game signups are happening there to make sure we fill spots. Thanks yall.
Wait this is dumb, and even more so for sign up threads, how are we going to attract new players? I am so against hiding this because two or three people are crying about it. I mean, if anything the thread title shouldn't be in all caps but hiding sign ups is a great way to not have new players join us.

Also, you switch between using CDT and CST in your opening post. You say that day end is 1800 CDT but mafia can QT until 1800 CST on Dec 1. Can you clarify timing?

Indeed. I only joined because I saw a game thread once and posted before I knew what it was.

It's CST, I forgot that we weren't on Daylight Savings Time anymore when I first drafted this. Thought I caught everything but I guess not! Good catch, I'll have it fixed for the OP of the game thread itself

Important question for PE:

Why did you type [his/her] and "his or her" over and over again, when you could have used "their"?

It's more inclusive, and most importantly, it's less letters and syllables.

Gonna unhide this as it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, signup threads should be more visible. Please hide the game thread when you make it. <3

When I was first drafting the role PMs, I wrote simply "his" in reference to a player in a couple of spots, but I realized I was inadvertently excluding the women players in our community, so I went back and fixed all references so they mention both sexes and don't exclude any

I'm told by you and others that "their" is more inclusive, and that we are striving to be an inclusive community, so I will amend all references to "his or her" and "his/her" to read "their" for the official thread

I've never done mafia on webdip before, is there a beginner's game? or should I just play in this game?

Just dive right in! We all start somewhere. It's an intense game but there are a lot of talented players here who will be happy to help you along!

You should just play in this game.

To warn you, there's a pretty high time commitment. You can expect to have to read 10-29 pages a day and interact regularly, but it's also really fun, and you already play diplomacy.
