Player Limit Increase

I agree, I dislike not being able to play a round because the game has already been filled up. You could say that I'd need only join another server but I'd like to play on a server with more people, it's more fun, I'm sure others would too.

As I've mentioned numerous times when the subject has been brought up, raising the player limit would be an incredibly bad idea, host's choice or no. For one thing, as has been mentioned previously, with twenty people in a round, it becomes nearly impossible to actually do anything. Even at sixteen, it very quickly becomes very difficult to read through all of the text scrolling by. This is, of course, not mentioning the difficulty of actually killing that many people, for the rounds where that's the goal.

There's also the bit about how the maps aren't actually designed to handle that many people at a time. Spawn-point limits aside (two per room is, in fact, a very nice number), it's hard enough to find a nice, quiet place to murder your friends as-is. After sixteen, we start getting to the point where the rooms all start to get taken/searched with greater frequency.

Then there's the bit I should throw in for anyone whose ever had the pleasure of minihosting on a server. Namely, the difficulty of actually moderating that many individuals. It does, in fact, get harder and more frustrating to keep an eye on that many people.

This being said, I wouldn't be against a setting that allowed the host to decrease the number of players permitted in a game, like the one Mitadake had. But adding more is just silly.

With sixteen people, things get convoluted. You have entire groups of people who never interact over the entire game, people wandering about and random ruining what the roles could be doing, and things often turn into awkward clusters. It's already basically impossible for the killer in Normal mode to accomplish anything with a full game unless people find their own reasons to kill each other, and people end up disgruntled because they don't 'feel included'. This even happens in modes with three or four roles, let alone a mode with only a couple at maximum like normal.

Increasing it up to twenty, twenty-two, or what have you would just make things exponentially worse. It's very difficult to keep track of things like names and who has done/said what, even when you're actively writing it down. Even if it were just a purely host-determined thing, people would constantly harass them about increasing it if it weren't at the maximum. People that are slow, or come in late, already constantly complain to hosts as if that does anything. It'd just make that worse, and, as previously mentioned, increase single-server dependency. A choice to lower the number possible sounds fine, as I personally think somewhere around 10-12 is an ideal game size, and might make people actually move to other servers.
