Aaryan Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 How does one go about hosting here? I mean, what are the requirements? I'd like to host my own game someday. You think of a game, put a feedback thread, line it up in the queue and then when it's ready you host *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolecnal Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Read the link to host tips under at the very least - I've never hosted but that's where I'd start. You also might want to be a newbie co-host on a trainer mafia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cohosting Skulduggery (my first), but do I still qualify as a newbie host? If so, I'd like to host and remove my name as player.

araver Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I am cohosting Skulduggery (my first), but do I still qualify as a newbie host? If so, I'd like to host and remove my name as player. i wonder if 2 mostly newbies could do this one in place of a total newbie and experienced host? I love it. Giving newbie hosts a chance to host while being supervised for the first time comes from a long line of experiences. There are threads that debate a lot of aspects, so let me just recall one of the conclusions: Hosting a Mafia game and Playing a Mafia game are two very different things, to the point of requiring a different set of skills, and while playing several games is a very good foundation, in itself, it does not guarantee success. So, because a lot of people want to host after they play a few games, the current newbie + experienced host setup allows all newbies to try it out, while guaranteeing that the game does not fail / the players are not disappointed. Or at least to ensure a good learning experience for the newbie host and a nice playing environment for the (also possibly new) players. As long as there are a lot of experienced hosts around, this works best. At least for Trainer's Manual Mafias where there are a lot of potential new players and a lot of questions to be answered during the game. Back to the initial question, there are a lot of situations one has to deal when hosting a Mafia game. And not all situations surface in the first (co-)hosting experience. So, while two (even first time) newbies can theoretically pull off a Mafia together, it would be advisable for all involved (especially for the players) to have some sort of mentor/3rd party in a host BTSC which can be summoned or intervene with an opinion if needed. As for the previous discussion about first-time hosting / further references: - has most of the terminology of the game and includes basic hosting tips. - Guide to Hosting is an expanded version that includes a lot of pitfalls and potential solutions.

MissKitten Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would love to host a TMM [although I did co-host SHerlock Holmes with PrinceMarth/NickFleming, but I screwed up big time with that one, so I don't really count it], but I just don't have the time right now. Maybe during vacation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolecnal Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 @Bong - not much if you take it at face value you play a role in both, but RP is more about creating a story, less about winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Roleplaying is just pretending to be characters and talking. It's not really a game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
