After discussion with the List Mods, we are implementing the following "simplification" of the rules regarding mod requirements/eligibility, effective immediately:
First time mods can run a single game, either an Open or Mini Normal.
Mods with one game experience
can run a single game
, either an Open, Mini Normal, Mini Theme, or Large Normal.
Additionally, mods with one game of experience may apply to the Newbie Queue, though preference may be given to more experience mods depending on demand. (Newbie Games do not count against Mod limits, and do not count for Mod experience.)
Mods with two or more games of experience can run two concurrent games -
one from the Open/Mini Normal/Mini Theme group, one Large.
Mods with five or more games of experience can propose Special Games.
Mods with a significant body of work on another site can ask to have that body of work counted as one game of experience here.
Significant changes highlighted.

mith wrote:A few quick notes on off-site experience, since I have been getting more requests for exemptions lately:
At most, off-site experience will count toward 1 game of mod experience here. This will allow you to run all types of game except for Large Themes.
This exemption requires a
body of work
of forum games - a single game is not sufficient, nor are a couple of small games, and we do not count chat games.
The more information you can provide about your games, the more likely I am to approve your request - I don't really have the time to wade through an unfamiliar forum structure trying to find information on your games. Direct links to the setup and quotes from the players commending your modding are helpful.
We do not consider off-site mod experience which has been earned after you joined this site; that is not a loophole we wish to open.
The three months + one game played on mafiascum requirement is mandatory.
We do not make exceptions for that - everyone else has to go through the same waiting period.
I'm not sure I'm seeing what changed. That or I was oblivious to it previously...
I'm a hoot

So, to clarify, moderators cannot, without prior approval from mith, run two concurrent large games or two concurrent mini games?
Also, I think this thread is an appropriate place for me to present a question whose answer I've pondered for a while now: Why don't Newbie games qualify for game limits or mod EXP?
Also, is there any likelihood of increasing the amount of Large Themes run by one mod to TWO as opposed to one, especially if he or she has multiple equally-qualified backup mods and/or is not backup modding for someone else's Large Theme? I think for mods who have already run X number of games, this should be an option.
What about games you have replaced the mod in? (If it's a yes, it will bring my grand total for modding up to 15 But only 5 of those count as me actually modding something )
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.
My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.
So modding a mini + a Large is alright but modding two mini's isn't?
Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up

the idea is not to have people modding newbies because they have to, and also that haven't proven a decreased likelihood of disappearance

Haylen: Backing up still is allowed, of course, but if you have to take over it might delay you starting a new game of your own, unsurprisingly.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring the whether that counts toward modding experience, not the amount of games a person can mod.
