FM Moving Forward

[Voss]

I don't necessarily agree about it being a patch, but I can see this devolving from the original point of the thread.

### something else more in line###

Here's something new that kind of relates to what Yapyap said, and would get me to play more games here. It's not super refined, so don't shoot me for it.

Have some sort of way for players that want to play here, but don't like something(s) about the current hosted setups. For example (albeit a poor one), in Yapyap's case, maybe somewhere for him/her to post: "Hey, I'd play a game on this site if we there was a max post count." Or (for me) a more personal example, "Id play games if they were anon and had more than 15 players". or "Id play if condorcet voting was used". Or "Id play if some x, y, z, mechanic is used."

I don't have a lot of time in my day for forum mafia myself, but am willing to find the time to sacrifice mafia development if the game is like "15/10 I'd play". But I'd NEVER be a dick about it and post in anyone's signup threads: "Id play if roleblocked people dont get notified" or something.
But who knows. Maybe there are hosts that don't care about certain site hosting metas and would be willing to experiment to get more interest... but dont know what those experimentations are.

True, it's getting away from the thread's point. But I think it might be worth making a new one for the matter, if people are interested in talking about it.

You can always suggest things to hosts! People underuse the setup workshop. The more you contribute to setups, the better they are, and the games are better because of it. That's part of the reasons for which I say that the Workshop is one of the site's greatest strenghts, if it's not the greatest, compared to other sites.
