Disclaimer: Don't treat this as official; this is just an attempt at getting all the stuff in the top threads in Queue in one place, and may be outdated/contain errors.

General Requirements

All experience requirements can be satisfied on mafiascum.net, brunchma.com, greylabyrinth.com, or another site approved by mith (which generally means he introduced Mafia there, or they play it the same way MafiaScum does).

You need to play one game on MafiaScum and have been around MafiaScum for three months before signing up to mod any game, regardless of prior experience.

Mods are limited to two concurrent games (not counting Newbie games); mods who desire to run three (or more) simultaneously may apply to mith for permission.

  • Queue Moderators can be found here.

Mini Game/Open Game Requirements

Mini Normal games and Open games require only the basic three month tenure and one game played. Mini Theme games require one successfully moderated game. There is one Mini Normal and two Mini Themes with Signup Threads open at any given time; the List Moderator will notify you when you are at the top of the list. You may only be on one of the two Mini lists at a time.


Newbie Game Requirements

  • You must moderate one non-Newbie Game successfully before being allowed to run a Newbie Game.
  • New Mods that have only run one non-Newbie game MUST have a backup Mod that has run at least two games successfully.
  • Potential Mods must send links of their completed games to the ListMod for verification.
    • If you only send one game link the ListMod will assume you only have one completed game and you will be required to have a backup Mod.
  • First time Newbie Mods may only run one game.
  • When that game finishes without complications, you may sign up to run multiple games.
    • While NG moderators can run more than one game at a time, use common sense.
  • Newbie Game moderating experience does not count towards the experience requirements for Modding in the other Queues.

Since all games are pretty much the same, they use the same Signup Thread; signups are open for the top Game Moderator on the list; if there are more than the usual number of new players, they will be bumped to the next game. The List Moderator will contact you when your game is full, and you may start your Game Thread.

Large Normal Game Requirements:

Potential moderators must have successfully moderated one other MafiaScum game before moving on to a Large Normal; this usually means a Mini Normal or Open Setup game.

There are usually a maximum of 4-5 Normal Games running at once; the List Moderator will notify you when it is safe to open your Signup Thread.


Large Theme Game Requirements

Currently, the requirement to mod a Large Theme Game is to have modded at least two games before applying to the list. There is no limit to the number of Theme Games running at once (except for the number of available players) To start a game, post the following information in the Large Theme Game List (moderators) thread:

  • Your game name.
  • The flavour text. - Add as much flavour text as you want. It will be included in the signups.
  • The number of players.
  • Your moderating experience.
  • Your current mafia modding commitments.

If permission is granted for your game, you can start your own signup thread in the queue, after receiving mod powers. As soon as your game is filled you can request mod powers for the Theme Park Forum by clicking on the Usergroups link at the top of your User Control Panel and following these steps: Avtoritet --> Join Group, and the group mod will give you the powers to create a thread and moderate it.

Note: Extremely small/simple/fast Open Games (such as 5-player Vengeful) may not count for a full game of modding experience; the Open ListMod will inform you if this is the case before your game starts.
