A special administrative category for the purposes of moderator waiting lists, a Newbie Game is a 7 player game specifically designed for new players. Currently, all Newbie Games use the C9 setup.

Newbie Games are played in The Road to Rome.

Players

There is a centralized waiting list for both moderators and players. To join a Newbie Game, players should post in Newbie Game List ("/in" or "/in to play", for example). When the game is full, the players will be contacted by the game's moderator.

There are two types of players in a Newbie Game: New and "Inexperience-challenged". For a player to qualify for the latter classification, the player must have been a member of mafiascum.net for at least three months and must have played in at least five completed games.

All players may be signed up for/playing in) only one Newbie Game at a time, unless additional experienced players are needed to fill out games. They may sign up for another game as soon as they are killed or the game is completed.

Moderators

As we aim to provide a good first experience for new players, moderators of Newbie Games are required to have successfully moderated at least two prior games before joining the list, and have a good overall record of moderation.

To join the waiting list, moderators should post in the Newbie Game List thread ("/in to mod", for example). When a new game fills up, the List Mod will inform the new moderator, and the moderator can then start the game.
