As for Mafia 73, I am going to put Pokepal148 done for it. I know Lucario requested it first but considering how Safe Words is currently going and that he asked for slot 74 before he later asked for 73, I don't think he'll be ready for hosting 2 in a row so we'll just leave him with 74 and divvy up the duties.
Yeah, because my Mafia games always go so smoothly.
Actually, I thought your last game was a marked improvement so I'm actually optimistic about the quality of your next game and have no qualms writing you in as a host for this upcoming game. Experience is a great way to learn and, even though it may not have always been fun as a player when a host is learning that way, I think you've shown that you have grown as a host and learned how to handle running a Mafia game.
Of course, depending on how the next game goes, I could be totally wrong here but I don't want you to feel a ton of pressure either so I'm not going to praise you too much yet.I would suggest just doing what you did last time and keeping it simple enough with maybe one or two extra twists/roles but nothing too complex. Keep getting the basics and fundamentals down and then you can layer and add more to the mixture as you keep hosting.
I went through a rough patch of hosting myself. I had some games get too complex or threw in one too many ideas which may have unbalanced the game. Then I went through a period with smaller turnouts so I just hosted some basic games and that helped me learn how to handle a lot of normal game issues which helped me craft better games because then I could figure out much better how different roles and abilities could affect things or work in the games perimeters. It also helped me to know how to adjust them based on player turnout.
Now when I host games, I can't think of the last time someone complained about the balance of the game. It's often a very equal affair with each side having the opportunity for victory. When issues do arise, I have the experience to know what sort of resolution I should take and would work best. Usually that goes pretty smoothly. This game had a rare objection with Silenced not liking my handling of his voting method Day 1 but a player complaining about the host comes with the territory and you might face that criticism no matter how well balanced the game or the effort you put in. My only big issue as a host these days is the story posts but that's been an issue spanning across most of my time as a host. If I could solve that, I'd really be golden when it comes to hosting.
