I've seen quite a few people want to have more than sixteen player slots. A few hours ago, there were over twenty-four players who wanted to play, but only sixteen of them could.
There's really nothing else to be added to this suggestion... It's pretty self-explanatory.

The sixteen player limit was chosen for a few reasons. Firstly, I think that more than sixteen players is too much for a single game. Even back in Mitadake a sixteen person game was often viewed as too overbloated, with roughly ten players being the ideal amount for a good roleplay.
Secondly, I want to encourage multiple servers at a time. If everyone could pile into one game on a single server, that server would gain a monopoly on the playerbase making it difficult for other hosts to get started.

I'm going to have to side with Frosty on this one.
From the perspective of a 'Killer' player 15 (or 14) other victims is just too much to deal with in one round as it is. Even in Shiki were you have two assistants it's difficult to try and kill all of them in a match (our usual matches run from between an hour and two hours) and RP. Also that length really cannot be expanded as we have people join frequently during matches hoping to play and those playing often need to go AFK or just plain go.
Then there's the map size to be honest. I'm not really sure it would be suitable for too many more people RPing there than we currently have at maximum. Think about all the times we go into the courtyard but with even more people and thus more chaos.

Yes. Now it makes sense as to why the Player Slots were never increased. Thank both of you for explaining this to me in full detail. I also agree now that I think about it. The Modes would be incredibly difficult for some of the Roles.

Another issue to having more than 16 is that, to my knowledge unless Frosty changed it, there are only 16 of each gender. If we had more than a 16 max, we'd have to have a gender limit as well, which nobody likes.  |

I have my Gender set to Neuter. I like being entirely randomized.
