Since the Discussions Team was nice enough to give you Mafia Scum your own forum, let's set some rules and procedures.
Mafia Mods
Due to the nature, size, and time of a Mafia game, each mod will only be able to mod one game at a time under normal circumstances. This is to ensure that all mods, new and old, can devote the time and attention required to successfully host a Mafia Game. However this does not apply to rt mafia games.
To Mod a Mafia game, you have to be responsible enough to ensure that you'll be able to responsibly conduct it. In an effort to reduce the hosting of games by people who are unfamiliar to the way Mafia works, you must have played in at least two completed mafia games to mod your own game.
When starting a game, please leave tags in the title, such as [taking players], [ongoing], or [finished]. You don't have to follow this precise tags, but something like this will make finding which games need to be moved to the Archives a lot easier and more efficient!
The System
The Mafia Forum is gaining a Discussions Forum, a Forum for Active Mafia Games, and a Forum for Archives. Let's give a brief description of all of them, as to make sure things are orderly:
Discussions:From "how to do this", to "should I do this?", to "I think this", the Discussions forum will be for all threads concerning the Mafia system that isn't a game. Games should not be started in this forum. Ideas for games, however, may.
Active Games: Active Games will be in the first level of the Main Mafia Forum. Only threads for currently running games (unless otherwise stated) are to be started in this forum.
Archives: No new threads may be started in this subforum. Threads are only moved from active games into this forum once the games are completed, as to make sure that the main forum for games keeps clean!
Official Mafia Games
Every now and then, TeamCC will choose someone to host a mafia game. These games will carry an official tone, and will grant someone a general achievement medal and premium membership! More details will vary with each game, but be on the lookout for these officially hosted games to get some prizes
When Are They:Official TeamCC sponsored Mafia Games will be one per couple months, and there will be a notice to when the next one will start! Just keep your eyes open, and you'll see them come about in time!
Want to Host One?:Prior to the game, a Callout for a Host will appear in the Discussions Forum of Mafia. You may then PM the current event organizer with details of your game, and he or she will choose a handful of participants with the most balanced games to be voted on. The winner will get to host an official mafia game, which entitles them to a General Contribution Medal as well for their efforts!!
If you're new here, here are some links to places to help you get started:
With these new rules and the new forum in place, things should seem a lot more organized! If you have any questions, feel free to post in this thread, or send a PM to [player]Fircoal[/player]! Good luck, Mafia scum
Cool! These terms look good! Is it acceptable to not have an [ongoing] tag and simply allow people to infer this by words like "Day 1" in the title? I like to add mini blurbs with regards to recent events in the game, and I often find I can't fit what I want to as it is.
Assuming the game isn't abandoned or forgotten about it could be helpful to have a tag stating that the game is over at the end of the title. On going takes up space that the threads some times don't have space for.

That works too. Just something so we know it's still going.
Vote: Mandy Eddie35: hi everyone Serbia: YOU IDIOT! What is THAT supposed to be? Are you even TRYING to play this game?! Kill the idiot NOW please!

Also, there are a bunch of dead games in the main forum that can be thrown into the archives.
Yes I'm aware. I have a good list of a bunch of games from long ago, that I can just check to see if they've been moved or not and move them if they haven't.

How exactly are these being voted on? By theme after balance is determined?

This. It was just an example of something you could put there. As long as it let's people know the current state, as Fircoal mentioned, you're fine

The whole process goes like this: A TeamCC Mafia Mod posts a requests for some games to be submitted via PM. He/she picks the most balanced games from the batch, and puts them up for a public poll in the forum. The winner will then get to host their very own TeamCC sponsored Mafia Game!
We've been seeing a few more co-modded games lately, how do those count? Limit one, or limit two since you are modding half a game? Also can one of the two be a newbie without two finished games?

It's interesting. I've been thinking about it, and I think it probably would have to do with the amount of power one has in the co-modding. I mean a true joint venture would be harder to target and such close to that would probably need to be brought up to opinion. However true co-modding in cases where the job is just to do vote counts and check to make sure that everything is doing alright (like checking the night actions to make sure the host didn't screw up) I don't see the problem with letting them take on as many as wanted. I guess it just depends on what details are needed in the job.
