How to add a game to the Queue


This thread is for games that are
currently
in the process of getting ready to be run. If your game is seeking co-mods or you just want to see interest in a theme, please use the Upcoming Game Ideas thread.

First off, please make sure you meet the requirements to moderate a Large Social Game:
  • All games must have two people on the moderation team. It is up to you how the division of duties will be handled. If you've had previous moderation problems, you may be required to bring on a third co-mod. Even if not required, the LSG listmods highly recommend you bring on a third co-mod. It's not required, but it is best practice.
  • If anybody on the moderation team has never moderated a game before, then it's up to the listmod in charge if they want to require a third mod.
  • All moderators must have at least completed one game onsite or been a member of MafiaScum for at least 3 months.
  • Unlike the Mafia queues, off-site games MAY be counted towards moderating experience at the discretion of the Large Social Game moderators.
When your game has reached the first milestone, it can enter the queue and have a listmod assigned. Various milestones have been set to manage game progress.
  • MILESTONE 1:
    Your game has a logo, forums are created, and a basic game outline has been created. The outline doesn't have to include challenges, but will need to include the number of players and initial twist ideas. At the point where you're ready with this, you submit your game to the queue, and a listmod is assigned to your game. Your game is added to the "current/upcoming games" list in the queue thread.
  • MILESTONE 2
    : Forum skinning/graphic templates are completed, challenge ideas have been filled in, and twists have been finalized.
  • MILESTONE 3
    : The game is fully completed: challenge writeups are done, initial posts/permissions have been set up on the forums, and the game is ready to start. At this point, your game is ready to fire in the queue and casting may begin when it fires. The listmod in charge will give a time frame of when your game will run and provide a preliminary game classification to the moderators:
    Spoiler:
    Complex or Bastard Game: 17+ points

    Advanced Game: 11-16 points

    Standard Game: 6-11 points

    Vanilla Game: 0-5


    4 points each

    Idols & Items:
    Idols and unique items/powers are heavily prevalent in the game and exceed previous qualifiers.
    Communication Methods:
    The way communication occurs significantly changes the foundation of how the game will be played.
    Swaps & Game Shakeups:
    The game is in a fairly constant state of flux, or there are extreme methods of game shakeups.
    Eliminations:
    Multiple elimination rounds will be common, and/or players can expect eliminations in non-traditional methods.
    Mechanics & Twists (count double):
    The game will feature multiple unique/themed mechanics that are mostly or entirely secretive and players should expect to be surprised by design.

    2 points each

    Idols & Items:
    Idols could be re-hidden, or there could be more than one idol per tribe / Items & powers in this game are fairly standard.
    Communication Methods:
    PM communication exists, but there are incidents of cross-tribal communication, or unusual communication methods/restrictions.
    Swaps & Game Shakeups:
    Tribe swaps occur frequently, or there are non-traditional game shakeups.
    Eliminations:
    Players should expect that there will be occurrences of multiple eliminations in a round, or players being voted out in a non-traditional method.
    Mechanics & Twists (count double):
    Mechanics/twists in this game should be expected, but there are not many, they are lower in impact and/or they may be partially explained ahead of time to allow players to play around them.

    1 point each

    Idols & Items:
    The number of possible idols is no more than the number of starting tribes plus one, with no re-hiding of idols. / One or two different items exist
    Communication Methods:
    Communication is mostly limited to PMs, and is strictly on tribal lines (not including potential challenge smack talk).
    Swaps & Game Shakeups:
    Tribe swaps occur with more frequency, but there are no more than 2 swaps {16-20 players} or 3 swaps {20+ player}.
    Eliminations:
    There's some potential for more than one player to be eliminated in a round.
    Mechanics & Twists (count double):
    Mechanics/twists only include twists/mechanics from the TV show, and/or any new mechanics/twists are relatively simple and fully explained ahead of time.

    0 points each

    Idols & Items:
    There are few to no hidden immunity idols in this game, with no re-hiding of idols. / No other items or powers are present.
    Communication Methods:
    Communication in this game is strictly limited to PMs within tribes.
    Swaps & Game Shakeups:
    There are one or fewer tribe swaps in the game.
    Eliminations:
    Players will be eliminated once per round and voting is the only method of elimination.
    Mechanics & Twists:
    Nothing in this game would be surprising to see on the first few seasons of Survivor (TV).

    Game classification is subject to change until signups are posted, in response to any changes the mods wish to make during that time.
The purpose of a review is to have an objective person make sure there are no glaring flaws with your design. You are not required to change your set-up if a reviewer makes suggestions, but it is highly recommended that you take their guidance under advisement; a lot of times a fresh set of eyes will notice unbalanced mechanics or challenges that will fail to run smoothly that you and your co-moderators may have missed.

When you believe you are at Milestone 1, please post in this thread answers to the following questions:
  • Game name -
  • Moderators -
  • Number of players -
  • Link to your game's logo -
  • Game outline and major twists have been established -
  • Listmod in charge (to be filled in by LSG listmods) -
Spoiler: Blank question list

Code: Select all

[b]Game name -[/b]
[b]Moderators -[/b]
[b]Number of players - [/b]
[b]Link to your game's logo - [/b]
[b]Game outline and major twists have been established - [/b]


Once you have answered these questions, congratulations! Your game will be assigned a listmod and its status reviewed, then it will be added to the queue!



When will my game be ran?


Right now we are currently trying to stagger the starts of the games, depending on interest from players and how many games are currently in the Queue. The general rule is that a new game will go into signups when the most recent game to have already started has eliminated 50% of the starting players. However, if there is a shortage of games ready to run, we may stop staggering.

A game's position in the Queue is determined by the game mods and listmods based on their being ready to enter signups.

It is a challenge-centric game, and although there is a vote every round to determine who goes into the tougher elimination match, all eliminations will happen as a result of someone losing a challenge.

This is a queue like the Large Theme Queue is a queue -- that is, when a game is open for signups, it'll be posted in its own signup thread.
Also, these games are anonymous, so you sign up through an anonymous form!
