So with that said what can we as a community do? I think a good start is to get any older players or those who have played mafia here in the past into a data base or email list and send it out as input. I have loved playing mafia here at CC and remember like yesterday my first train wreck of a game.
I do not wish to go out with a wimper.

It is a difficult question that doesnt have an easy answer.

The old players coming back has never seemed to work out... See Fircoals last attempted game that stalled....

I don't think mods need to get involved in the running of games, but something could be done to encourage the running of games.
Tournaments have been in the doldrums for a while, so the Tournament Department cooked up this promotion to encourage more people to run tournaments. It had quite an impact, and quite a few new tournaments were posted. Quite a few were posted during the Passport Challenge at the end of the year, too, when posting a tournament was needed for a Passport stamp.
Perhaps the Community Department could do something similar.
Of course, the effect of such promotions wears off after a while, but it does help to get you over a dry spell.

I'll give one year's worth of premium to the next person that starts and fills a mafia game.

Can I use it as a prize in said game?
