I‘ve been told that several people are planning to host games, so to avoid any problems like people cutting into each other‘s game signups and other things we may need a schedule of games.
For anyone who plans to host a game, you can either write in this thread for what month/day you‘re planning a game or edit it in the schedule yourself if you can.
Note that there‘s no limit to how many games can be had per month, but try not to have 2 games running at the same time.
Sign-ups!
To everyone who usually plays MG or those that don‘t want to miss signups, we‘re testing a new way to alert everyone to a new game instead of mass tags before each game.
All you have to do is go to>>this thread<<and press Watch on the top corner of the thread. I or a host will post there and notify everyone like this whenever a new game starts.
While hosting overall isn't necessarily hard, it's very easy to mess things up as we have seen plenty of times already. This naturally happens more often with newer hosts.
In order to get these new hosts familiar with how the game works behind the scenes and make it a smoother experience for everyone (no one wants a cancelled game!), we are establishing these sets of rules that follow the methods that have been used in the last 50 games:
-If it's your first time hosting, it's MANDATORY to have the help of someone that has hosted before. As long as they aren't banned, it doesn't matter if this person hosted twenty times or just once. This experienced host will be the "Main Host", while the new one assumes the role of "co-host".
-Tasks will be split in a rather equal manner so that the Main Host can keep things in check while the Co-host gets hands-on experience to learn properly.
-The Main Host has the final say when it comes to decisions (ideally, this won't need to be enforced heavily, it's mostly to avoid possible issues).
Once the game is over, the co-host can host on their own and even take the role of "experienced host" for a new host in need!
Working schedule has been incredibly annoying lately, but I hope that'll be cleared up more around that time. You guys can put me on pending for now :-)
put me pending onegai , i d love to play this one but i m not free at all on March 30th/31th, if possible to delay it & start it on April 1st or even 31th even if i miss a great part of the day 1 ill still be able to post a little hopefully.
Before the next time I host, Ima send Grytan a list of say 5 ideas so he can mentally prepare in advance and give feedback on the systems ahead of time

Like this you can decide ahead of time if something is worth playing, or if an idea is worth playing with some modifications. I know I take creative liberties here and there but the goal is never an unenjoyable experience, including you. Always breaks my heart a little when you say you didn't like my game or this or that was bad or terrible or whatever else.
