This has been going on for an hour or more - there's no lobby host, so the game can't start. If everybody left at the same time it would close the lobby and start a new one but it doesn't seem to be possible to get everybody to quit at once. I suppose you guys can close and restart it.

This is confirmed. Open Lobbies will not start.

Oh yea.. Messed up.
Only good thing is to join a public game, spam "EVERYONE JOIN CHANNEL MAFIA AND LEAVE, THIS IS A GLITCHED LOBBY WITH NO HOST" and it might get more people to join the Mafia channel. (hip hip hurray)

Because I've noticed that private games WORK but not public games.

Edit: nevermind, it's just one lobby. I understand now. But private games is a better alternative if you open to public.

It seems to be only that lobby. When that lobby is full, a new lobby seems to fill up with no problem. I can only suspect that this is a Blizzard problem and the only thing we can do is shut down the map and restart it to force a refresh.

Until that time, I suggest that you try making in-house games to bypass that lobby.

I just reported this bug on the Blizzard forums since it seems to be glitch in BNet itself and not the map.

1177 Click to enlarge picture, 85 people in channel! New record! Maybe it will rise?
I hope it stays this way even after it fixes.

Mafia channel reached 100, but now it's decreasing again because it works.
