Although I'd be really wanting to hop right into another game, I've got a few other things I need to take care of during this summer.

Please put me at the bottom of the sub list​

If possible I don’t think anyone would mind a 9 person game. Activity problems plague this site and that would essentially eliminate them.
I'd be very inclined to disagree here Camo. If one player doesn't post enough with so few players, their entire faction is in a good deal of trouble. Also, less people=less interactions=significantly less posts and information in a game. Even moving from 12->16 players in a game can double our activity and I wouldn't be shocked at all if a 9'er ends up with less than 400 of posts based on the fact that a game with the equivalent of 17 players (due to modkills) ended up with just about 1000 of them.
Even with our 11'er as it currently stands, every one of us will really need to put in the work to post a lot (at least 10, preferably at least 20 times a game day) or else risk the game dying activity-wise.
Not to mention that an 11 player game has strange balance, since you can have 3 scum and town goes to LYLO after only two mislynches and it's quite scumsided or have only 2 scum, in which case it quickly becomes quite townsided when you factor in PRs and probably needs multiple indies to balance itself out.

That's the idea. If a player isn't active you sub them out.

Post count is not the same as game quality. This is an untrue assessment. Having less players means more posts on average not less. Lategame in every game consists of four or five players. Starting with 9 is the same as about half way through a game of 20. There's no difference in that aspect but since you can actually sub out someone you don't think is sufficient you increase game quality. Game quality actually goes up with less players and that's why 12 or 9 players is actually the norm on most hardcore sites.
Not to mention that an 11 player game has strange balance, since you can have 3 scum and town goes to LYLO after only two mislynches and it's quite scumsided or have only 2 scum, in which case it quickly becomes quite townsided when you factor in PRs and probably needs multiple indies to balance itself out.
That's why a nine player game with two scum is better. 7 and 2 is basically the perfect ratio.

Setups with 7:2 and 8:3 hit lylo at the same time. How is the nine-player setup better?

Hitting LYLO isn’t an indicator. With 8:3, LYLO with three scum left all but means good game. 7:2 gives town a fair chance of winning while retaining scum’s chances. 8:3 is heavily skewed towards scum as almost half of the players are mafia and thus normally what ends up happening is 8:2:1 which still isn’t as fair to mafia.

8:3 is one mislynch to lose with the option of a no lynch. That’s crazy. 7:2 is two which is fair with power roles. 8:2 or 9:2 is actually the norm for standard setups but factoring power roles in makes 7:2 incredibly balanced. Mislynches to loss is the standard for how fairness is determined.

In case anyone is wondering,,

[Yes, Dead Players can still influence the game] *There will be no Dead Chat to prevent item discussion among the dead*
Only winner will need to pay for the item they bid. Everyone else who didn't win the bid will not have to pay.

To clarify...


All item purchase are 1 used only. You doesn't necessarily need to use them immidiately. The same item might appear in future bids regardless if it was sold or not.
