Blah, I know you've been busy lately, but you're sounding very hypocritical. The last, what, three games you've been almost completely silent? At least let someone who was posting a lot repremand everyone else on their inactivity. :\

After reading this thread, i hope this isnt the end of twg. I just got done with jtwg and after realising how stupid it was i wanted to move up. Hell i pretty much won jtwgVI alone :\. Jtwg doesnt need to be erased completely, just changed... a lot. The hosts dont really know what they're doing (i'm serious) and the players are really inactive. The raffle idea sounded good at first, but now i'm thinking, how will we get regulars? Instead of abolishing jtwg, just add another twg. Sign ups would be 32 people, and the game is split according to "skill" and all that. That would be a good way to even games out.

ok, my thoughts is not to get rid of jTWG because first timers and beginners (like myself) need a place to learn. Instead, you should make the group smaller like -10 or something just to get a feel of the game.

I agree with hydro. If you want to abolish jTWG, go ahead. But in replacement, make it a, uh, non-discriminatory game. TWG: Double Trouble, or whatever the hell you want to call it. I wouldn't say split the game according to skill, because that will certainly make the game more interesting.

Raffle idea: I don't like it. The people that are most dedicated to play the game are the people that make the 30 second sign up windows. It would NOT be a good idea to randomly pick, because you'll end up pulling people in who signed up for the hell of it, and won't be great at this whole activity thing.

-Two games at a time, no jTWG.
-Keep the timed sign ups.
-Maybe add in an All Star game every now and then, to maybe make a game to what it usually would be.

Also, I agree with talisman. Chardish, I think you may be overreacting a bit. One game of inactivity does not mean the end of TWG as we know it. Everything was circumstantial, the players that were killed, the way Tass was acting, etc. I think TWG needs a bit of renovation, but nothing major.

None of the blame for this can be put on me.

I still play this game the same laid back way I've always played. I post a whole bunch to defend myself and point out obvious stuff people might have missed and depend on other people to figure it out, because I can't analyze people worth shit. Even if I had survived to the end, I'd probably just be pissed because I was the only one posting. But I never survive to the end, because I won't shut the hell up so the wolves shut me up for them. Assholes.

And I still believe the solution is an AIM TWG. It was attempted before but failed due to nobody being around to play it. I would love to sit on the computer for an hour or two and play a chat-based TWG, especially now that summer is here and I have plenty of time. The only limiting factor is whether or not the wireless will be a complete bitch and let me play or not, and I can always just ask to use mom's computer for a few hours, since it doesn't have as bad a wireless card and is closer to the router.

But really, people are most interested at the beginning of the game, especially when there's little time left in the day to vote. If you had 10-15 minute days where quick decisions had to be made and thoughts thrown out quickly to be analyzed and voted on, it would be a lot more fun. It'd be as close to real life Mafia we could get, given that we're all so far apart. If we could do AIM TWGs often enough, it would be a good arena to try new ideas quickly to see if they're worth doing a drawn-out TWG with.

But may be we do need a short break from TWG. I, personally, hardly ever play TWG anymore since I die all the time. Argh.

Oh, and another suggestion: every once in a while, play in a jTWG, and let jTWG people play in TWG. Being one of the smartest people in a game makes it more exciting, and gives you more of a chance to try out crazy stuff. It also helps the jTWG newbs learn some from the more experienced players (and even more if they get to be in TWG itself). Mixing it up like this will help jTWG people "graduate" to TWG faster, meaning we'll have more people and more interest. It will also spark more interest in the TWGers doing jTWG because they'll be at the top, where only a few of us have been before, and able to manipulate people. You get a whole new perspective on the game when you're in the different playing brackets (top player, middle player, terrible player). We've all been in the bad player phase, pretty much, but getting the experience as middle and top level players in a game makes it more interesting.
