    [​IMG] Game Night [​IMG]

    Welcome to Game Night! The purpose of this thread is to organize Mafia get-togethers at a scheduled time at the end of the week.
    THIS WEEK'S GAME NIGHT: Saturday 22:00 GMT

    What is Game Night?
    Game Night is a weekly event to gather all players of Mafia, veterans and newcomers! At the end of the week, everyone will come together to play peak themes. Game Night aims to achieve the following goals:

    1) To boost overall Mafia activity.
    2) To achieve multi-faction games of sizes unseen since September.
    3) To create an inviting environment for new players to learn Mafia.
    4) To have fun!


    How Do I Join Game Night?
    The only thing you need to do to partake in Game Night is to go to the #Mafia channel on the main Pokémon Online server at the determined time. Because Game Night is indeed dependent on your presence, please feel free to RVSP in this thread.

    When is Game Night?
    Game Night is a two-hour slot that will occur at the time indicated at the top the thread. Times will be voted for in a poll once every couple months. The most popular timeslot will be officially named "Game Night."

    If there is a tie at the end of the voting period, it will be resolved by going with the earlier timeslot.

    How Are Timeslots Nominated?
    The most popular time slots based on the Playtime Compendium are the ones that get chosen for Game Night. Be sure to leave your activity times in the appropriate thread so that convenient times can be nominated!

    All times are listed in GMT!! Please make sure to write your timeslots in GMT, and remember that Game Night time is listed in GMT as well. If you are having trouble converting your time to GMT, please use this website as a resource.

    Awards
    For the week following Game Night and ending before the next Game Night, anyone can cast votes for each category for any game that happened in the timeslot. A record of the games will be placed in this thread, so even if you weren't there you can vote.

    You can cast a vote by simply posting in this thread, as long as you make it clear what game you're talking about.

    We'll allow you to list your votes in "top 3" format for now, although listing only your top vote is acceptable. Like in Mafia, self-voting isn't allowed. You can vote for teams you won with though.

    Best Village Win: simply, the best played village. It doesn't have to be the most overwhelming win. If fact, the award could best be applied to those games where you look at the log and wonder how village even survived after getting wrecked night 1.

    Best Mafia Faction: goes to the most dramatically destructive Mafia Faction. The winner of this award does not have to win the game; this one should be awarded based on how much trouble the faction caused.

    Best Factional Side: only applies if two or more non-village setups (Shop, Castle, Rotom) are played. Basically like best village, except not a village.

    Best One-Liner: suck at mafia? You can still win this award! Vote for the player who caused the most spit soda, i.e., got the most LOLs.
    Other Things
    Feel free to discuss related subjects in this thread. Discuss in advance which themes you would like to play this Game Night. Offer ideas for other Awards. Offer more general suggestions; I'll leave a list of things I would like feedback on for future Game Nights.

    2 hours is good enough. If it was longer, some people could end unsure which moment would be the best to come in, which could hurt activity.
    I would like to see this happening more often than only once per week so it helps creating momentum for the channel. Even a secondary, shorter game night could be enough just so it doesn't end as a "only 1 time per week where mafia is alive".

    I'd prefer once a week as making it too frequent would not make it feel special or something to look forward to anymore. The whole point of this is to encourage people to stay on after the game night ends and drive activity up in the channel all the other days.
    Host game night every other day or twice and week and you risk it dying as well

    I really like the Awards system, and I agree with both Rice and Dreams on it being 2 hours and once a week, respectively. It sets it up so it's not too frequent, but not too rare... kind of like a weekly television show.

    Also, thank you to both of you for running this and not letting that fall onto me too. Not that I'm complaining since it keeps me busy, but keeping the Compendium up to date and running the actual game nights would be hardddd.

    EDIT: Also, someone sticky this thread too. kthx.

    If I sticky it, then WU and Karp are in charge of it indefinitely, unless they decide to quit.

    Hiya, I voted even when I will not be there for Game Nights this week because I read rules late, sorry for issue... You can not count my vote if tie takes place...

    Ok, then...

    1. For me, these 2 will work... New thread every week or Same thread with external polls... Don't keep Manual polls please...

    2. 2 hours perfect...

    3. More timeslots but removing Thursdays...

    4. Save logs and posting it in thread will be good...

    Wow this message ended quick... I had so much in mind to say...

    Alright, it sounds like everyone agree on 2 hours. As for making it biweekly, that doesn't seem feasible at this point, but perhaps if it proves popular enough we could try doing it on like 5 day cycles instead of weekly. This would be making it more frequent but also more confusing. For now we'll just try weekly, and ideally this will inspire more activity throughout the week, especially if people use the Compendium.

    Anyone have any external poll sites in mind? I think it's better if we keep this thread for as long as 3 months or something, so we'll need another way to take polls to make it work.

    @VirajVora why do you suggest removing Thursday? Sometimes weekdays are actually more active than weekends, and Thursday's activity is actually decent on the Compendium. It can't hurt to put one timeslot from the late week at least. Perhaps we'll have 8 slots next time, but I don't understand how limiting it to only weekend+Friday would be better.

    And yes, I intend to record the whole thing on an account that isn't playing so that we don't get the in-game perspective bias.

    We can run this for now at least, but we could probably use another co-host with complimentary time-slots. Contact if you're interested.

    Edit: @Fiery Espeon will help host.

    Saturday. 9 people voted for it, so there should be at least 9 there. Not ideal, but it's a starting point.

    Updating #Mafia's topic would be nice then, so people who don't usually click the links there will also know about the exact date.

    Gonna say you're allowed to vote for sides you won with. Just don't be biased.

    My award votes -

    Best Village Win:
    1. SSBB Village - perfectly executed, Luigis easily led village win.
    2. Default, won by Village (RiceKirby, Nilon and Miki Sayaka et all) - how did that even work out

    Best Mafia Faction:
    1. Vanilla Mafia won by LeMoustache - under the radar
    2. SI with Aliens RiceKirby, pia, Miki Sayaka and Tom Sawyer
    3. Dinos Carnivores

    I don't have #3 village yet.

    Check post #2 for a list of games.

    Will only nominate 1 for village:
    Best Village:
    1. Default, won by Village (RiceKirby, Nilon and Miki Sayaka et all) - Didn't look like we would make it (there was even a Godfather around), but it worked.

    Best Mafia:
    1. Vanilla Mafia by LeMoustache was quite the mindblown win.
    2. Default, won by Italian Mafia (LeMoustache and Miki Sayaka) was another mindblown. Blame villagers for making me get the wrong reading, and Inspector not doing work.
    3. Dinos, won by Carnivores (RiceKirby and Baby Jane) - Joey controlled the whole game despite being found by Apato D1

    You actually have, since village only won 3 games.

    Good point D: this is why it's not the #Village channel

    in that case I'll leave Leaf off, it was a good win but not amazing.

    Going to work on getting another poll for next week going. Feel free to nominate other ideas for awards as well. A category for non-village setups (Shop, Castle, Rotom) is probably a good idea.

    Best Village Win:
    1. Default, won by Village (RiceKirby, Nilon and Miki Sayaka et all) Like how did even village manage that. Towards the end, i thought they were going to lose but nope

    Best Mafia Win:
    1. Space Invaders, won by Aliens (RiceKirby, pia, Miki Sayaka and Tom Sawyer) the perfect win + the manipulation
    2. Body, won by Genetic Diseases (Fiery Espeon) - I did manage to win with both my teammates gone by d1, and managed to manipulate players in order to win

    2/13 -

    Best Village Win:
    1. Space Invaders, Won by the The Defenders (Miki Sayaka, Kurapika, Grape, bap and Joyverse et all) - with a lagging LC.
    2. Default, Won by Ricekirby and Twilight Sparkle - BG+Insp gambit worked!

    Best Mafia Faction:
    1. Remoraid Mantine Alliance (Rice, Mumu, and me) - just worked out really well.
    2. Default Mafia with Holy Paladin and Ricekirby - Mislynched WW and still managed to bop village.
    3. Shameless self-vote voting for a side I won with (DN Kira where I killed L twice)

    Best Factional Side:
    1. Daypix, won by Daypix (Daypix). In Daypix it seems Daypix don't like to Daypix the Daypix that are actually Daypix (Daypix).
    2. Mow (Hopkirk, Rice, Joyverse) - coming back from 2v1 with a type disadvantage, not bad.

    Best One-Liner: Hopkirk gets A for effort.

    Edit: We are going to overthrow the democratic regime and hold this on Saturday at 22:00 GMT for the next few weeks. Once there is a possibility of a change in everyone's activity we will open a new poll.

    Think we're going to stick to Saturday from now on. The difference in activity is rather staggering.

    But we're also thinking of pushing it until 0:00-2:00 on Sunday (two hours later than its original run time) so that all the hosts can be on and make organizing and recording a lot easier. This time slot is fairly active on the Compendium as well. Any major objections?

    Re: awards-

    I'm generally against adding negative awards. My question was if anyone actually wanted a worst village player award, and if so, can we keep it chill?
    As for most misleading player, best mafia faction basically covers this imo.

    Should we add Best Mafia Player / Best Village Player categories?

    Also, you don't have to vote for awards you don't like :<

    Miki I guess am the only one who would make a major objection to that timeslot. As I live in India (GMT +5:30) I stay up late for some tours and game nights. I can stay up late since I am not having school atm but 00:00- 02:00 is kinda pushing for me. So that's all.

    Yeah Best Individual Player- (Village/Mafia) award is a good idea.

    Well we won't be adding any new awards because only Village / Mafia have got multiple votes this week.

    We'll hold this week's on Saturday at 22:00 again.

    Just saying, a " worst villager award" would be a bad idea if it was added. We are supposed to promote positivity, not negativity.

    Sigh, I wish this was either an hour earlier or 2 hours later. Ill might join the first few, but I sports from 17:45-19:00 GMT-5 (22:45-00:00 GMT, for those too lazy to add) and am a human being that needs to eat food.

    Moving up the time was a possibility, but in this case it seems that earlier is better. The activity tends to continue for a good few hours after Game Night, so really the only thing you'd be missing is a chance to win the awards that no one votes for.

    We're probably going to keep starting it at Saturday @ 22:00 GMT for as long as it proves to have high activity. Since people's activity change over time, we'll open a new thread with a new poll for the time slot in the next period of time, but that may not be for a while. Also, we'll leave that poll open for longer and have more options, since it will decide the Game Night timeslot for more than a month.

    However, I encourage all of you to make use of the Playtime Compendium to find games in the middle of the week as well.

    Hi... Don't you think it's time we increase this more ? We should have Game Night 2 times instead of one...
    Since it's vacation time for people, we can have another one on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday too...
    Also, my exam will end this Monday and I will have vacation for 3 months and hopefully I will be free or I'll announce it if I am not... I'll help you too in hosting things...

    Also, 1 more suggestion... I just seen Playtime Compedium and found that people are more free on Sunday rather and Saturday... So we can have on both days together too... Benefits of having together are that people will know that they have their time on weekends and they won't be disturbed during other times of weekdays as most people tend to play(enjoy) on weekends... Bad thing about Sunday + Saturday is most people also have their outings on this day and hence they miss both times playing mafia and slowly lose interest in it...

    Well, I'll help in any of them...

    Waiting for comments...

    Making multiple Game Nights per week would be counter-productive in my opinion. I'd rather have some sort of other event in the middle of the week like the testing new themes thing Ricekirby suggested in the suggestion thread if we were looking to foster activity there. The point of Game Night isn't to be the "one time of the week when mafia is active," it's supposed to be a pre-determined time that everyone who wants to play mafia can be guaranteed to find a game. Spreading it out over multiple days means people who only want to play once a week or can only afford to play once a week will be split between multiple days.

    That's not to say mafia shouldn't be played on other days. Mafia can be played without an arbitrary date, and everyone has plenty of tools such as the playtime compendium at their disposals to look for others to play in the middle of the week. Making multiple Game Nights will discourage this, and really lean towards making it the "two times of the week that mafia is active." That's why I'd rather keep it a special event, rather than relegating it to a pair of crutches.

    We'll hold another poll soon to determine a new timeslot. Sunday 0:00-2:00 GMT is theoretically the most popular, and the current Game Nights tend to continue long into that timeslot. Personally I think starting earlier and letting it last is better. We'll see though.

    I don't know about adding an additional weekly Game Night, but what does everyone think about holding an extra Game Night on Wednesday April 1st? I heard it was a special day...
