You should just let yavuz play the main game, he's functionally a newb
Well perhaps but on that basis I'd have to let Ghug and Bo_Sox join as well :razz:

Game thread is up, but please do NOT post in it until further notice.

Game starts in around 8 hours, so no rush.

Ghug is like one of the highest win % players on the spreadsheet. He simply never loses as scum

I know but Ghug-bashing is a traditional webDip Mafia passtime.

Is someone still maintaining that spreadsheet?

Id go through all the games and update it but I think win % is relatively easy to calculate based off the data already in there on a player like ghug for example

Ghug may have gotten much worse since then, I dunno.

In general, ghug sucks, bo is the worst, and I am the most cool. Any statistics that deny those true facts are fake news.

Bo isn't the worst, at least he isn't at the games I play.

For the serious answer, judging from Jamie's posts back on page 1, they will:

1. Track the game.
2. Compose a PM regarding your play at the end of turns for you to learn from.
3. Hang out in the god thread for active discussions once you die.

Dunno if that helps. Looks like its mostly PM based.

Precisely this. At the end of each game day, each player still alive will receive a PM from me (but drafted by one of the coaches) giving some feedback on their play so far. The two coaches will also be in the God QT to give additional feedback and answer questions for players that have died.

GM NOTE

Apparently I don't know what time zone I currently live in. Of course UK time is currently BST, not GMT. The game will therefore start in four hours, at 11pm BST.

GM NOTE

In order that I can do the role draw and prepare the PMs, sign-ups will close TWO HOURS before the game starts.
