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!
Hey guys, so I know I'm barely hosting in 3 months, but I have something planned that will take me a while to finish, so I wanted to ask, how does a street fighter theme for the game sound for you guys? Is it appealing? Can you react to the message if you like the theme and think you'd like participating? Thanks!
[EDIT] Also if there's anyone with hosting experience who would be willing to help me with some feedback on my ideas throughout the planning phase, please let me know <3

There's a lot of Street Fighter games and it's popular, so having two Street Fighter MGs seems fine. Actually, I think a Street fighter V mafia game would be pretty cool.
The theme isn't nearly as big of a deal compared to getting an experienced co-host though. Hosting can be tough even on the most experienced here.
We had Street Fighter, but it was super long ago. We didn't have any mechanics or really story elements back then, so this would be different for sure. Or yeah, perhaps you can do an other fighting game. Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, King of Fighters all come to mind.
We've already had plenty of games repeated, as long as I bring something new to the table don't see why repeating a theme is wrong.

i was thinking SF 5 yes, though I'm not a fan of some design changes Ive seen so far XD was thinking of mixing them up, bringing back some cool characters from prev games which are not in 5 too, we'll see

I didn't host before but it's not a big deal really, I can help with some balance if you wants to add mechanics. I won't cohost tho, I will just tell my opinion about it.
