Scheduling

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.

Spoiler: On Hosting!

[Original Post]

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!

What's your definition of a meme game?

Less than 10 mechanics to follow

 

[GrySun]

What's your definition of a meme game?

More focus on „fun“ than balance perhaps

 

[Copy Panda]

do people deliberately design meme games

 

[GrySun]

..you don‘t?

 

[Copy Panda]

but im a bear

 

[SirSamuel016]

Do people even wanna play so soon after a game ended? I could whip up a game, either a serious one or a meme game, depends.

Yes I do But whether I should is another story

 

[Evil3ye]

I could play something soon again.

 

[Faust]

I could whip up a game

Dota 2 themed game?

 

[GrySun]

Tagging everyone who played in the last ~6 months. New poll up, pick one or more, if enough demand I'll host a game. I'll consider anyone signed up who picked options 1 or 2.

Pack your bags @James Rye for Sydney. Former British double O agent is selling a logarithm called Skynet to Spectre’s Emilio Largo and Auric Goldfinger. You must stop this exchange, destroy the software, assassinate the spectre members and bring back our ex operative for trial.

James going to come up in this thread like wtf why was I tagged???

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 19, 2025 ---

I'll consider anyone signed up who picked options 1 or 2.

What about those who signed up for both options like Evil, Lawl, etc…. Do they get to sign up twice?
