Due to VGM's day 1 incident, future AussieEevee mafia games will use privately hosted private topics and will not be using QuickTopic. I am going to do this for greater control of the permissions system.

I just hope my system proves as easy to use as quicktopic.

I wonder how that is possible.

I've seen it happening in other sites (like Mafia Universe) but it requires the people who host to either contact staff or get special permission to do it.
And it needs a different version of vBulletin that supports that.

I'll be setting up my own forum site (Using SMF 2.1), and all private topics will be hosted there. Each player will have an account set up by me that only has access to the specific parts I want to give access to.

Before I do that though, I need to find a way to block off access to parts of the site, such as user profiles and member lists, and the online tracker, that might give away user identities.

The game itself will naturally still be here in TWR.




Theoretically, it is possible using the group system on BMGf, but it'd require a lot of dedication from the admins and isn't really worth the effort.

EDIT: I could probably overcome that downfall if I use generic usernames instead of usernames specific to that user... Hmm....

@AussieEevee; all in all, your first game went very well, all things considered.

I'll leave a more detail review in the thread itself, but a lot of my thoughts wound up getting transcribed either in the Dead QT or my prediction PMs to you and Zexy.

Here's hoping my first game turns out alright.

At the very least, it will amuse ME and Flop, and that's something.

@Maniacal Engineer; Good luck with your first game :) I look forward to doing our Star Trek one when MotW ends.
@Zexy; VGM2 won't be for a while but would you like to co-host it again when it comes up?

@AussieEevee; Star Trek themed games are always fun!

Wait until you see the flavor text I have written for MotW, though. I am greatly amused.

I have some great ideas for Star Trek Battles.

We still need to find a way to get @HeroicFox; and @Enzap; to play, now that we have successfully gotten BAG to play.

Mr. Zap says he will play a mafia game around winter break.

I am holding him to that.

It is weird not preparing an update for VGM since I've been doing it for a week :p

EDIT: My custom system still needs a lot of work and won't be ready for Starfleet Battles. I'll stick to quicktopic for that one, and hope it goes to plan.

That's a much better signature, AE. In fact, if you ask ME, I think that should have been your signature the whole time!
:p

Pfft a week is nothing. Try a month or more, that's when it gets strange/comforting.

Yeah, VGM sadly finished a lot faster than expected... Which may be due to the 4 day 1 kills.
