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!
I can't help but wish a MERRY CHRISTMAS to my game friends. I really wanted to tag some people but I don't want to seem weird at all.

OXI no one says will you wish happy holidays and nothing here? Is there a specific topic on the forum that I don't know about yet?
Anyway, I'm going to WISH everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR and I hope that 2023 is much better than 2022 and we managed to make our dreams come true or at least part of them. HUGS TO ALL!
Sorry, I had meant that to say Mid to Late January. Still a bit up in the air but will go for whatever the playing group finds most preferable if that's satisfactory~

Also I'd like to try hosting again if everyone's ok with that, somewhere around late summer, not the street fighter theme cuz I'm still hoping me and dawsie can find a common time when we're both ok schedule wise and get that to you guys since I had some cute stuff planned for it, not decided yet on theme tho' and wanna look for a co-host too, if anyone wants to team up theme can be decided later (as well as month)
