Large Normal

This page has official status; unlike most wiki pages, it cannot be edited by normal users. If you believe edits need to be made, please bring them up on the talk page.

An administrative category for the purposes of moderator waiting lists, a Large Normal is defined as a non-themed game which has 13 or more players, but is not classified as an Open Game.

Large Normal games are played in the New York forum. The Large Normal queue is currently moderated by EmpTyger.

Players

Any player may sign up for a Large Normal game. When a Large Normal game is taking signups, interested players should reply ("/in" or "/in to play", for example) either in the Large Normal queue or in a separate signup thread created for that game. When the game is full, the players will be contacted by the game's moderator.

Moderators

In order to sign up to moderate a Large Normal, a moderator must have successfully run one game (an Open Game or Mini Normal) to completion.

• Moderators with experience on other sites may request that their body of work elsewhere count as their one game of experience (PM mith); if approved, such moderators must still have been active on the site for at least three months and completed at least one Mafia game as a player.

To join the waiting list, moderators should post in the Large Normal queue ("/in to mod", for example). Moderators must also PM the listmod their setup to ensure that the setup meets the requirements for a Large and Normal game.

Only one Large Normal game will take signups at a time. When a Large Normal game is ready to take signups, it will be announced in the queue. Once the game is full, the List Mod will give the moderator permission to start a gamethread in the New York forum.

Moderators must also appoint a qualified backup mod before signups begin.

• The role of the backup mod is to be ready to take over (with or without notice) when the mod is away/disappears/is eaten by tigers.
• The backup mod should be qualified to mod a Large Normal Game.
• The backup mod should have the full setup at game start, and be provided with summaries of nightactions/any game-relevant events.
• The name of the backup mod should be placed in the first post of the game thread.
