Please Join ATPG's mafia game. I believe that, since he listed NotW as one of his inspirations, that it would be courteous for us to let him have his 50 player game.
There's currently 46 players signed up already, and 4 spots left. QUICKLY, people.

New m-NotW up. Let's see how this goes…
Optical
The Fall of the Eleventh
Just one more spot (this needs to start, people!) on NotW: The Return of the Baron. Please join quickly.
EDIT: Spots are now all taken! Let's go!

I have an idea for a NOTW, but it's very bold. It would take a relatively long time to run, and would require multiple GMs. Design would take very, very long. If executed perfectly, I believe it could be a very great game.
It would be called "NOTW: Second Chance." The basic setting is that Erebus is in peril. The Avatar of Wrath has destroyed all civilizations and Armageddon is upon the planet. The One is displeased. So, he gives the nations of Erebus a second chance. He uses his power to completely restart creation. The game would start in the Age of Dragons, go through the Age of Magic, into the Age of Ice, and possibly even into the Age of Rebirth.
The game would be rather complex. The ages would not progress linearly. When you die in one age, you move on to the next, even if the previous age is still progressing. You would spend the time in between the official transition of ages training and getting stronger. This works out, because the sooner you die in one age, the more powerful you become in another.
Everyone would play important characters from that age. You would play as Angels and Archangels in the Age of Dragons. You would be students of Kylorin (or possibly even the man himself) as well as leaders of human nations in the Age of Magic. In the Age of Ice, you'd be Amurite, Doviello, or Illian. You could be humans, golems, or even the God of Ice himself, Mulcarn.
The way I envision the game working is having a combination of GMs. Before any major game design starts, three GMs would likely be needed- one for balance, one for major mechanics, and one for writing. I'd hope that at least one is versed in FfH lore.
The game would take a very long time to run, though. I'm not sure when would be a good time to run it, however. The game could possibly be run as the 50th NOTW (as 50 games is a great accomplishment, and this monumental of a game seems fit to run at that time.)
Before the game is even put on the front page, I want to know if people believe in the idea and support it. If not, I may just break the games up and run them as a four-part series, although I'd much rather run it as one game.
What does everyone think? Could this be done sensibly?

No. It would progress in chronological order. Everyone would start in the Age of Dragons. Like I said, if you die sooner in one age, you're more powerful in the next. During the time while you're dead but the previous stage is still going on, you learn more spells and become more powerful. Once the previous age concludes, you can use your gathered abilities. But gameplay wouldn't start in a new age until the previous one concludes.

A number of things with the idea:
The big 1) How does an age 'conclude?' Killing all of the 'mafia?' Then what happens the next age? New 'mafia,' new roles for everyone?
Once that's answered, I'll go on further. I just see a huge potential here for some game breaking scenarios that could crop up early and snowball for the rest of the series.
