Upcoming games LIST--obsolete

If it's gotten to the point where Skoffin canceled a game, I'd say its time to do something about the situation. I'm not advocating a queue, because that reeks of totalitarianism. All I want to do is keep a running thread where I would list planned games, and when they were announced. Some people will be polite, and use the list like a queue, waiting for others to go before they do. Others will use it to gauge how busy things will be soon, so helping them decide when to start a game. Others will just use it to get word out beforehand, while others will ignore it completely. The result in any case will hopefully spread the games out (to an extent), instead of the games coming in waves. This wouldn't be mandatory, and it's really not necessary, but I for one think it'd be useful.
Okay, I went ahead and did this anyway. If you don't like it, ignore it. I made my starting point using pages 7 and up of the sticky. If you have any corrections, changes, or additions, post them here. In the future, I will only be adding any games submitted to this thread. If you post a short description, or a link to your post in the sticky, I'll make your game title a link.

Then look to the sticky. That's what it's for.

Yes, but most people would never bother to read through the last five pages of that thread. In fact, that's where I first started thinking about this-- when I first saw that thread, I thought, okay, cool, let's see if there's any mafia games coming up. I saw the OP and it said:
Upcoming Games
and I thought, hmm, there must be no games starting soon. That sucks.

i honestly dont like it..
we gotta stick by the fact that people know
this is wat ccmafiaso is for
just do your game unless you know someone is about to start or that it will effect current sign ups
This right here is why many many experienced players are leaving this site.
i for one wont be following this. i will know when people are starting games cause they tell me they are. i will mod my next game when my current finishes unless there are a large number of games, and there is nothing you can do to stop me

Lol, I see I'm on this list and before talapus. Look on the first page for when Talapus's game was first announced. Also, mine won't be til around july time either of them because of exams and godfather etc. though even then I'm away for a big period of the summer (Scotland in July, Italy in August, Turkey in September) so I don't know if I will have the time we'll see

I'm not trying to stop you. This list is here for your information only; it's not dictating an order or setting up a queue. I include the 'date announced' only to help you extrapolate when the mod might be starting their game. I'm as much against a queue as anyone.

I only used the last several pages of the sticky to make this; if someone announced a game before then and still intends to run it; I'll add it with it's original announce date.

I now see that the sticky has been cleaned up, and is useful. This list is now obsolete. Sorry if I offended anyone, this is now closed.
