I demand we cut in line because we've been meaning to host this for over three months now but school and applications have continually gotten in the way!!! | ||

That way game ideas don't get stale and we don't have a bunch of people just trying to reserve a spot because the line is getting longer and longer. * Due to the length of the line take me off for Contract Mafia. | ||

Guess it depends if people feel that the regular/boot camp games should always be running. I've considered that as a possibility. But I think we do want to encourage normal games as well as themed games. There's a few options to fix the current problem: 1) If the queue for one type of game gets too large (like themed is right now), host two themed games at once to bring down the list. Bad news is that this means there won't be a normal game going on. 2) Try to keep the ratio of normal to themed at 1:1 (or as close to possible). Basically I won't accept games for the queue unless the amount of each games are the same or relatively close. 3) Flat out reduce the amount of games I allow in the queue. I have it arbitrarily set at 7 right now. I could reduce it to like 4 or something to stop long lines. However this may lead to a situation where as soon as a game is done people race to post in here to get their game up, which is a situation I want to avoid. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! It's a difficult decision figuring out what to do about this. | ||

Honestly if you asked for volunteers I'm sure a lot of us would raise our hands. | ||

I vote #2. Actually whatever just be a tyrant and decide. We could also have a limitation that first time hosts need to host normal games. | ||

We are low on people volunteering to host normal games. If you look at the que, both mini/normal games have only 2 in the que while theme games are backed up quite far. | ||

Basically it's just like survivor. There are challenges [puzzles] and the winner earns immunity for the day. At night, there will be 1 SK who's goal is to kill everyone. Everyone else's goal is to survive and win the grand prize. The winner of the challenge will also receive a clue pointing towards the SK. I don't think this has been done before so it would be a beta test. Anyone care to cohost with me? | ||

I'm not too confident in crafting balanced setups but that can be worked around I guess  | ||

I'm also curious as to what happened with the point system. Did it get removed for being too elitist or something? | ||

I remember reading it but I cant find it anymore. I was thinking it could help break the logjam of hosts right now. On February 18 2011 06:32 BrownBear wrote: Personally, I like hosting/cohosting normal waaay more than I like hosting themed, so at the very least I can host normal games kinda regularly (maybe like every other game or something). I'm also curious as to what happened with the point system. Did it get removed for being too elitist or something? As I said in an earlier post, I took it out mainly because it isn't needed right now. Of course I have all the data saved in case we need it in the future, but right now our community isn't big enough where we need something like this. I was also thinking that it could help break up the logjam of hosts on the themed games. Right now I am thinking of doing the following: not accepting any more themed games until the queue is down to about 2 or 3. I want to prevent a scenario in which people are racing to post in here to get in the queue (which may happen if there's only one slot open). I think this is a good idea (at least for now) because it will be a while before the queue is down to 2 or 3, and people who may want to host now might not be able to once we get to that point. I also want to minimize the amount of cop-outs we have on hosting (kingjames already did this for example). By the time we're to Caller's game, he might be awol again =P On February 18 2011 07:37 darmousseh wrote: Hi I would like permission to run an experimental game called "Survivor" for about 9 to 11 people. I have written up a draft of the game to get permission from whoever is in charge. Please add me to the list or let me know when I can start this thread up. I spoke with Qatol about the details and can provide them to you. I guess it can be categorized as a mini mafia. Sure thing, you'll be able to start that within a week or two probably. | ||
