I don't really want to play.....Yes, please dont play it until youve done at least one more simple games.
We understand. Most of us don't want to play with aggie either, but unfortunately the game is open to anyone who signs up.
Oh, I'm already playing a game with -aggie-. I'm his follower.....We understand. Most of us don't want to play with aggie either, but unfortunately the game is open to anyone who signs up.

Ouch, from a fellow Texan, and one even in DFW.

It's okay I'll play with you. We are talking about a game, right?

You're in? We only need one more player!
If only it were simple.... And if my leader hadn't banned me from playing in this thread....
Man I just can't Sorry bout that joke. I honestly get too lost at this level.
I dont know why some feel the need to add so many new things each and every game. Get used to one game and then add some.
Got an idea to get more players and stop people from being lost. What if in the opening post we put a voting record and everything that happening in the last 2 game days. Then people who are too busy to read the whole thing can get a cliff notes version.
I think I will play when my leader demands I play in this game....Yes, please dont play it until youve done at least one more simple games.
mmm... Yum... Thanks
I think I'll be fine. I only really need to know my role as a minimum. It doesn't seem too complicated overall.
Thats not the lost others are referring to. They dont know what the new rules are or dont entirely understand them.
I have read it over a few times and I can't remember the roles/rules. They're a bit complex.
Yes, but you still need to know the role of others, and there are a lot of n00bs to MRville and this isn't a good place to start.
This version is certainly more complicated, and sure a simple game would be better for one to cut their teeth on, but in several posts now I notice you really do exaggerate the difficulty, -aggie-. Maybe it took you a while to catch on but that doesn't mean it's universally true. It's no biggie to ask questions and figure things out as you go along. It's just a bloody game, as it were.
All the talk, talk, talk, talk in the threads gets completely tedious though and I think that is part of what puts people off. I said a few pages back that I'm in for this but I am not going to chat up a storm any more. It's too time-consuming and that detracts from the fun of a GAME. (Plus it annoys my husband how much time this can take out of my evenings. Damn time zones.)
I think the idea of putting a short, simple voting record (once the votes are tallied up for each of the lynchings) in the first post may be a big help for those who can't handle all the back and forth chat, if ravenvii is cool with doing that.

The proof is in the pudding. Where are the players? Why havent we started if everyone wants all these new rules? Also, Im not the only one stating there are too many new rules and too many changes. At least I play though. Im just stating that MAYBE a few people on here want lots of changes each game, which is turning some people off. We lost Tomorrow a long time ago when some of the first changes were made.
And again, its not the voting record. Read some of the other responses besides mine.
If you think I'm only reading your posts you are quite mistaken. I've read it all.
Yes, it has gotten complicated and as I've already said, I do agree it's probably putting people off. I quoted you because you're one of the strongest proponents of mentioning how difficult it is and how no one could possibly understand without playing more than one simple game, and while I'm sure that's a big help, I'm not sure it's required to understand. It can be figured out as one goes along. My observation throughout these games was that it took you a bit longer than the average to catch on to how it all works but your experience doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. Going on about how difficult it is sure isn't going to help recruit either.
With it being increasingly complex and talkative, I think a simple voting record in the first post could help, not solve everything, but HELP. So you know though, my entire post was not directed at you, just the first paragraph and it could apply to anyone thinking along the same lines really. I'm not trying to have a go at you here.
Sure, I could add a voting record to the original post, if that gets two more people to sign up!
If we're still stuck at 14, I'll just cut two roles out, and get the game started. What do you think?

Start on Monday, if we get players, play the game as written. If not, delete the spy and mystic/make hunter part of NW.
