YES!!!

I think I can get players to come over and play some games if the deadlines aren't weeks long

That doesn't make sense.
The setup is townsided yet scum generally win because the meta is scum sided?
What?

Well shorter games would force players to be more active in the games. I think this would force town to discuss more. Scum would want to lurk more, but if town is good enough they wont let them.

Also have you guys considered eliminating V/LA for Blitz games?
Or at least make it so players can't be inactive for more than 24 hours.

The Average Player is at 2.

I am at -2.

Catch up to me, mates.

Firebringer · Post Post #103 (isolation #3) » Sat Oct 24, 2015 8:32 am

2 out of 100.

I am off the scale with a -2, everyone needs to get down to my level.
Then all games will be balanced.

Hey ETL, am I still on your blacklist?

Suggested Names:

Times Square

Madison Garden

Plaza Hotel

Carnegie Hall

All in keeping with the New York theme we got going.

Maybe rename the Newbie forum Grand Central, the point of arrival, call the Theme Park Broadway since it's all about big productions, and call this Wall Street because deals are done and fortunes won and lost at light speed.

THIS!!!!!

I would personally vote Trump, but since he isn't a candidate I support a Firebringer List mod.

I think the problem is that people in those queus don't join a game because they are planning to play a fast paced game.

Like, that isn't the purpose of those queues.

I have run a blitz in the Mini Theme, a huge issue I had was that HALF the player list didn't understand that it was a blitz when they signed up for it, even though it was clearly stated multiple times in my description of the game. If you put in a specific section for a specific time scale games, players interested in those, will go to those games.

Blitz games are not for everyone. I think also the pace of other queues makes it difficult to even want to host a blitz? I don't know. A game that might last a week can be in the queue for a few months.

There's absolutely nothing stopping mods from running a blitz game now, yet most choose to run longer games.

I feel like I cited a problem with running shorter deadlines in the existing queues, when I did run a game half the players were shocked it was a blitz when the game started, even though it was placed in 3 different areas that the game would run blitz deadlines. Half the players didn't get the message.

I have kind of flipped my position on this due to my latest modded game.
At the moment, we really shouldn't do blitz queue

I don't know when they would be best time to have them, but fulltime queue might not be best right now.
Ill try hosting more in the normal queues, but latest one activity level kind of signaled to me that we aren't ready for a whole queue of these.
