I can neither play nor be a good coach. I'm only good when impromptu-instinct reading.

On second thought, count me out if we do Hydras. That's too much for me to handle.

GM NOTE:

Nobody said anything about hydras and there will be no hydras in this game.

Also at no point did I say that 13 coaches would be needed.

Please could I ask experienced players to stop causing confusion and PM me if you actually want to help.

To be clear: The intention is to have an equal number of coaches per team, a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 2 per team. So either 2 coaches (one per team) or 4 coaches (2 for each team). The coaches will send their feedback on their team's play to me, and I will filter this for anything accidentally game-breaking, and send it on to the players.

If you are interested in being a coach, PM me.

If you are interested in playing, and have no more than 3 games of webDip Mafia under your belt, add your name.

Aren't you listed to GM in the next main game?

Uhhh I also think 3 games is such a strange limitation. I see no reason to deny yavuz the chance to play in this game.

Plus you'll never fill up with only total beginners.

There has to *be* an entry limitation or it isn't a newbie game. If anyone can just sign up, it's just a regular game.

I have already successfully run one all-n00b game on this site, on exactly this basis.

Why are you so determined to wreck this before it's even started? You aren't a beginner, you don't want to be a coach, and you've got your own invitational game to run, yet you demand to dictate to me the exact terms on which I am allowed to offer to run a newbie game.

Hi Rasputin!

The game is divided into Day phases which last 48 hours of real time, and Night phases which last for 24.

Would you like to join up?

I'm not trying to wreck it. I want it to actually run. I'll leave you alone with it, let me know if you need more players.

I will be co-gm. I thought I said this. Anyway I can try this if nobody takes this. I would need a Co-GM in this case though.

As neither a newbie or experienced or cliquey enough I find myself in limbo. When is the next inclusive regular game?

Durga - your desire to run an invitational only game should never have been publicly mentioned. What was the point?

Someone step up please. I don't feel able.

There's not much demand for this newbie game, it seems.

I could co-GM the next big one with Yav if he wants. But I have already had my turn as GM recently.

Dropping the 3 game requirement and simply trusting people to understand if they need a game with coaching to improve more than the next guy may get you a number you can work with.

I dunno. Any people who've played more than 3 games and still feel they'd benefit from the expert coaching of peeps like Coach ND?

I would be more than happy to lend my services to this enterprise.
