    I have a feeling that this forum will go to **** because of all the noobs and whatnot. If I'm wrong, then kudos to whoever deserves it.

        i mean at the VERY LEAST make it a subforum in Critical Thinking where smart people might find it... but in here it's going to attract people that find posting their CTRL-Vs and playing FFR Assassination's fun and that's NOT a good direction for an already lacking forum

            I Do Not think that having TWG public is a good idea.

            Now that it is public, I have a feeling inactivity and game abandonment is going to go through the roof. TWG could turn out like unofficial FFR tourneys.

            When the game was private, a person would have to have interest, and the commitment to at least seek out access.

            Not to say there are no deserving non-TWG'ers. And this could really open up the community.

            But, I really hope this move doesn't desecrate the entire TWG as it potentially could.

              I used to play Mafia pretty frequently (one of my fav games), and had no idea this forum existed or how to join it until it was made public.

                You seem fairly competent. However, I'm terrified of the hordes of mindless noobs that can now break our once secure door front because of this move.

                  We're going to get a bunch of noobs and new topics, but I see this is a good change, OVERALL.

                  For one, we're going to get fresh blood into the system. Always good because the people I played with when I was new are all pretty much gone, and it's becoming an obvious trend that people who start TWG eventually get tired of it, no matter their interest or skill. Serious props to the few that haven't left who've been here since I started.

                  The negative portion, all the unworthy people breaking in, is easily combated by disallowing entrance until competence is proven.

                  It's simple, really. We get the current players to join up, the ones that are interested in the game, and when we have more spots, we take on the newbies and see what they're worth. If they play like manure, they get bumped down the list for precedence in the next game. Sure it's going to be annoying, and sure it'll take a long time, but I see this fresh blood as a good thing for our ever-diminishing community.

                    the number of people that have posted in this topic agreeing with it that i would never have picked to participate in this game is astounding
                    I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

                      I suppose you could be right. New meat, especially if seasoned with intelligence, can do this game some good.

                      And also @ DBP: You should consider hosting this jTWG. We should have something really simple to ease all of these new people in.

                        Moving TWG to CT: Agreed

                        Keeping TWG Public: I don't like it but I guess it's for the best

                        New Motion: Make the TWC mods so that they can uphold this place with some actual power and whatnot and ban people who are obviously here to be asshats.

                          The TWC members are mostly mods and admins already.

                              I agree with the idea of making the forum public, so long as there are a few mods with control over the forums, so any noobs making "wat is dis game??" threads can have the thread deleted, possibly warned.

                              Actually, is it possible to ban somebody from just a certain forum? That would be extremely useful.

                              The forum should definitely be moved to CT, though. Few immature people bother to search in CT other than the Sex/Catfish thread and the Drugs and the Gov't thread.

                              we need to segregate again so we can DEsegregate and everyone will feel good again
