Right, because I am in a fit of improving things around here, I felt we could use a thread that covered the general Q&A on hosting games. Because I am far from an all-knowing entity, I won't be making a FAQ of this just yet. I'll wait until a few questions have been answered. So yeah. If anyone has ANY questions regarding ANY topic surrounding hosting games, or anything else in particular, ask them here. The community will then be able to help you, and together we can improve the general quality of our games. Don't be shy, ask those questions! And, to start things off right away, I'll ask the first question! So, has anyone thought about writing a FAQ or any other informative thread regarding a particular topic? Any good tutorials, FAQS and informative threads might be stickied (or added to a single, overview thread). Edited by Syrassil, Oct 5 2011, 11:50 AM.

Well, it isn't related to hosting, but I was thinking of making a 'beginners guide' explaining the point of it, and talking about the more common roles. |

Okay, I'll start to type it up now. I might not have internet other than on my phone for a while, though, so it wont be up straight away. |

So hey everyone, sorry if I necro'd this thread, but I'm considering hosting a game for the first time to see how I do with it, and I'm wondering what kind of roles I should put in it. I'm trying to learn the ropes, so I'm planning to run a pretty standard game. Any suggestions? |

Well, for your first game you should run a Doc/Cop/Vanillager/Mafia one, with maybe a Hooker and a Fool thrown in. Also, you should keep track of what's happening on a spreadsheet-list all the names down one column, roles down the next, the day at the top of the third one, the actions at the fourth one, and their status at the final one. Also, pre-emtively sign me up for it when it starts! |

Sounds good, except what do Hooker and Fool do? I think I've got a pretty decent handle on the others, but those 2 are new to me. |

The Hooker is able to distract one player each night, preventing them from doing their night action. It is a mafia role. The Fool wins and ends the game if he is lynched. Not night killed, he must be lynched. It is a third party role. |

Also, just as a general thing, if someone throws out a standard role you're not familiar with, you can look them up on the Epic Mafia wiki. |

Huh. Those are kinda cool, I think I'll put them in. EDIT: and thanks, Avi, I didn't even know that existed. Edited by AgreeableChap, Nov 27 2011, 09:23 AM.

Ok, so I've been gone for a while. But i just looked at a game idea thread in this forum... and I noticed next to the roles were things like (B) (S) etc etc. Wanna explain this so I don't feel like a goddamn idiot. |

Those are speeds ranks, Talon thought of them. It's to make games with a lot of abilities easier to keep track of. When playing a single phase game, S abilities happen before the vote and usually can't be interrupted, A-D happen in alphabetical order at the same time as the vote, and E happens after the vote. So, if say the vig was a B, and the doctor was a C, the doctor wouldn't be able to block the vig because he's faster. |

Ah, I thought it was something like that. But it doesn't hurt to get that explained properly. :D Thanks bro. |

I've heard some talk about hosts making a spreadsheet of some kind. What exactly would this spreadsheet entail? An example would be amazing.

Here's an example from one of my past games. Some people organize it differently, but I usually have what Phase the game is on, the Players names, the Roles, then the Actions or Votes. It's also nice to have some notes sometimes. |
