I do agree with most of the changes that Justin posted up a few pages back, and I understand the need for being more strict on hosting requirements AND on the bans, though I find it unfortunate that new hosts are being 'punished' more harshly than the inactive players. I have never hosted before here on TBT, though I have played and hosted Mafia games on other sites, and now I'll never be able to do so unless I host a mini game first, which I do not currently have any real interest in doing. If I end up doing it in the future it would likely be just to "unlock" the option of hosting a main game in the future, rather than because I was super passionate about my idea.
I think that is the real downside to the new system - People who come up with creative ideas that require a larger amount of players are forced to make a smaller and likely more basic kind of game first, which will likely makes different games a little bit more similar to one another in the long run. However, the Pro's are still outweighing the Con's so I cannot complain - At least I should be able to PLAY in games of a higher quality from now on. Good work overall!
