Okay so the application period is winding down, I am very excited about that. Just about finished up my massive advertising campaign haha involving most of the mafia-playing internet which I am very glad about. That is, by far, my absolute least favorite thing to do. But in a lot of respects it is the most important thing of all, because without good players it wouldn't matter what I came up with the game would suck. Thankfully, over the past few weeks I have met so many wonderful and amazing players and am very fortunate to have a stellar cast in the making.
The Choose Your Own Role contest ends at 11:59 PM CST on May 5th. Also excited about that. I know the idea isn't insanely original as there are plenty of choose your own role mafia games haha but I think this specific adaptation will prove interesting. I've had the spark of the idea for two years so I was thrilled to finally put it into action. Already lots of intriguing roles have been posted it will be difficult to just pick one.
Applications close at 11:59 PM CST on May 7th. Typically I e-mail acceptance letters 1-3 days after that day. Please check your e-mail daily during that time. I will give you maybe 5 days to respond saying you accept your spot, if you don't respond to my e-mail I'll need to replace ya.
In Spies 5 I only gave myself like 5 or 6 days after the application deadline before the game began haha to get all the work that needed to be done. And that was so much work I nearly killed myself. I think on that final day I spent 12 straight hours preparing everything before opening the game.
Yeah so this time I'm giving myself 10 days which should be more managable!So the target start date for the game to begin is May 17th at 10:00 AM. That's a Sunday. That same night (time TBD) we will have the live opening chat, which kicks off the game with a bunch of announcements, private assigning of identities, and tons of extras.
I'll post another update after the application deadline passes!
