Well, good morning. Welcome to the new scenario. What should we do today?
There's also not much to talk about without vanillagers just brazenly accusing people for no reason.
All you can do is analyse the vote and death record otherwise, and that doesn't usually bear fruit until a couple of days in. And even then, that's all known information so there may not be anything to add to the conversation by the time you post.
Oh hey! A knife!
Just fyi.

I've had a lot of fun in some of the vanilla games you've run in the past.
It's a good style of game to have in the mix, definitely.
We're relics from a forgotten age, ahava. Like those vampires in Underworld who are out of touch with the youngins but not as powerful as the old dude in the ground that gets woken up and kills everyone.
That's Infidel. Basically Infidel is Bill Nighy
and the age after.
lots and lots of fire.

Larger Phalla need mechanics like this game or some sort of combat system so that people can have stuff to do behind the scenes. Having factions works well too.

No regrets.
I think this is exacerbated by general low activity in larger games (that in order to get larger necessarily end up enrolling less enthusiastic/obsessive players). When people don't comment much and you have no mechanical way to interact with the game it's hard to do serious sleuthing and the end result is the standard "cull the inactive" which isn't particularly interesting.
Also people keep complaining that the community isn't as strong as it once was and doing simple games give newer players a chance to dip a toe in without feeling completely overwhelmed.
This. I've been playing for a few months now, and am just now feeling confident enough to participate in a more complex game. If there were no vanilla games, I probably never would have given it a try.
Bring on the complex games. I may not have any real gameplay skills, but I'm jumping in and probably making a mess of it!
That said, I do wish there was a good way to try and recruit new people into the mix while keeping the game interesting enough that the more experienced people want to play. Maybe more faction/team games where newbies can ask questions/advice from people they are paired with.

I could try to rework those, I guess.
You're not getting another vampire dominance game. The old one was too perfect

Well, good morning. Welcome to the new scenario. What should we do today?
I remember the Wizard of Oz game! I was something special. The vig, maybe? And I think a witch turned me into a frog for a day or something where I couldn't talk?
I feel like you got mad at me afterwards as I became confirmed and role-called the village. Or maybe I'm remembering another game

I forgot that @Infidel is literally the worst goose.
