====Regular==== | |||
Regular rounds are currently on hiatus for several reasons: | |||
*My schedule as a whole is less predictable. | |||
*The novelty's worn off, and not enough players are showing up. (That said I'm impressed it lasted almost a year.) | |||
*MafiaBot has issues that need fixing. | |||
I'm therefore taking a break from running rounds for a while. In the meantime I'll try and upgrade MafiaBot with some of the "future features" listed below, and use its new abilities to drum up interest again when it's finished. | |||

====Bonus==== | |||
If you want to have a round some other time, then tell me on IRC or post on [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|this talk page]] and I'll see what I can do. I expect you to ensure that such rounds will have enough participants, preferably before the round begins (and without spamming other people with requests). | |||

If I am on IRC, and you have gathered at least '''7''' players who are all asking me to set up a game, and I have the time, then I will do so. Do not pester other people to get them to join to reach this limit; ask no more than once. If you want to continue playing after the first game there must be a minimum of 7 players at all times; I will only wait about five or ten minutes for people to join between games to reach this limit. | If I am on IRC, and you have gathered at least '''7''' players who are all asking me to set up a game, and I have the time, then I will do so.

MafiaBot is a division of [[User:eXemplary Logic|XL]] (specifically, a division of the X part). It helps with running the day game by providing vote counts and ridiculing players that do silly things.
