I'd like to try it out sometime, but thanks for working on it.

Sounds pretty awesome. Thanks for working on it.

Looks awesome!

Do you think you could put in the ability for custom voting behaviors? (Like allowing someone to vote for multiple people at the same time, hated/beloved town support, etc)

I've got the rough model for a one-to-many relationship between player entity & vote entity.

I have not built in what a vote means and how many votes it takes to lynch someone. My current plan is to support hated/beloved players.

Both multi-vote & hated/beloved are de-coupled from the player role as I think it would be far too limiting, especially for CG-style.

One of the primary goals here is to make the set-up of a standard game (C9, F11, AITP, Dethy) significantly easier on the moderator. Taking that ease of set-up in mind, I want voting to be easier as well, especially with multiple record updates in one update. I don't like how long it takes to process all the votes in the current web app. Too many postbacks.

There is a lot more work to be done. I am also thinking about allowing multi-mod support (it's currently a one-to-one relationship between game and mod, but should be relatively easy to turn it to one-to-many). The challenge there would be creating an easy way to add a mod without being required to know their email address. I may add a "public token" type thing that you can share with people to allow them to add you to the game as a mod. I don't want to waste time with a send request -> receive request -> approve/deny request workflow.

Another thing that may not be readily apparent, but when you create a game of a specified type- you are only presented with roles available for that game type. This is why you can create a C9 game and only have the four vanilla roles, but a F11 has the four plus mafia RB. This is actually really cool but is NOT dynamic - I have to set up the enums with an attribute class.

Can you just take it to the next step and turn it into a mafia-game generator/handler for your phone? It would save me a ton of work that I promise myself that I'll do and never get done.

Checked in a new build.

•Added support for votes: Including multi-voting, hated/beloved townie.

It should not dump data every few minutes anymore either.

I just got user accounts working and everything "locked down" to registered users as well as filtered out.

Haven't put it up yet as I am not sure it works 100%.

Next up:
•"Lynching" players
•Adding/removing players in a game after creation.

Hey...

It's actually all working now. Other than not having custom role ability - (and the roles mean nothing other than for auto-setup which is impossible with a crazy game), you can do everything you wan through the new app!

Actually, I lied. No Lynch is not an option yet but it should be a quick addition sometime this week.

PLEASE use the site and let me know.

Been playing around a little bit. Feedback using Chrome.

*In setting up a game, it asks for a player list, but then dumps that entire list as one player.

*Disable the onclick for the extraVote button. The first time I clicked it, it took me to an error page and I thought it took all my roster changes with it. Subsequent clicks didn't bring anything up.

*Maybe re-label Manage to indicate that's where the votes happen.

*I love the intuitiveness of the voting system, eg removing players when lynched automatically.

Overall, looks great. Really nice job.

You're supposed to enter it comma, semicolon or pipe separated. I should make the tooltip show up more clearly... however, I think new lines are probably intuitive, so I just figured out how to break on new lines. I hope it works cross-browser...

I thought I'd done a event.preventDefault(); already. Thanks for catching that.

I changed it to voting. It's not just voting, but that's what every one thinks it is, so I guess that's legit.

I like how flexible it is too... the automagic setup for c9, f11 and dethy is pretty legit, I think.
