Micro Games Queue!!! (Players and Mods)

[Aristophanes]

What would happen if someone was asleep at the time a Marathon game they signed up to was on, and did not post at all?

I mean, they would be replaced like normal. Hopefully people will have replacement lists as putting a game on hold will he inefficient, and the replacement queue will be less than effective!

I'll have to talk to KittyMo actually as it may need retooling.

P.edit - Oooo! Pagetop!!!

Okay, so I fought against this change but when a change comes down from mith what am I supposed to do?

All games on site must now be marathon speed. This is in order to increase play speed, increase playerbase, and hopefully let us compete with the other sites with which we compete. Marathon games seem to typically be Micros so I am expecting a higher volume of games here. I am ready to take them on, but you have to be sure you are available to play games you sign up for! I am also getting rid of modding requirements in this queue and making it so you may not run games concurrently but may run them back to back.

Players may only be in one game on site at a time as well, so long as one of them is a micro. The potential of 10 minute deadlines (or less even :S) means it would be simply impossible to be in multiple games at once! I will be checking the other queues and ongoing games before approving your signup.

I'll have to retool the thread a bit and changes will come to my OP in time. The Mod Prod post is now irrelevant. You are expected to run games wen you say you will and will be penalized otherwise. I also will be less able to pick up games if you drop as I am a busy guy, so backup mods are mandatory.

Good luck and have fun everyone! I hope this change is good for the site!

It would mean that it's no longer possible to ban anyone for being replaced too often.

Are there any other sites that both allow a variety of setups and have a standard deadline of around 2 weeks for Days?

I told you I wasn't a fan.

We were unique! Even the places I came from which used MS setups had 5 day deadlines. They're all dead now, so we were the only ones I know of!

As for bans, I mean, you're on to something. I'll talk to the Listmods about the rules on player restrictions due to replacement. It still needs to be in place as serial replacing is not okay.

[BTD6_maker]

How exactly is serial replacing avoidable, though?

If you live in a timezone that means that for most games you are asleep while they run, how could you avoid being a serial replacer?

True...

I don't know honestly. This is why we have to discuss it!
Thanks for the feedback

Nice April Fools Mith/Ari.

I know I don't meet the requirements to run a micro, but I didn't see anything about modding a tiny marathon micro!

/in to mod

TOTALLY NOT BASTARD
3p set up
1x mafia suicide bomber
2x vengfull town
MOD INFLUENCE
POSSIBLY ROLE CHANGES
OTHER BASTARD SHIT

Other special mechanics
1. Marathon. 1 hour day and night phases
2. Everyone must post 5 times a day phase and no more than 100 posts in a day phase.
3. Ari must play
4. No lynching. Just bowing up. So now you must put bold "blow up: XXX"
5. This shit is bastard. There are no rules

Because there is almost no other marathon games in queue. Mine goes to front


Ari is in the playerlist all ready. Ty.

[UC Voyager]

Oh yea. Hydra/hydrae allowed.

Don't join if you hate trolly shitposty games

[callforjudgement]

Hmm, what a challenge for a moderator. Can I come up with a setup under these new rules that people will actually enjoy?

/in to "mod"

Game Name:

Self-Moderating Nightless Charge-up Kingmaker

Game Type:

Micro Open Theme

Game Size:

8

Co/Backup Mod:

the players themselves

Reviewed By:

nobody, so there's a decent chance this is broken

Bastard?:

it's an Open setup, so all the mechanics are public; you can judge for yourself whether you consider them bastard

Hydrae Allowed?:

Yes

Other Restrictions?:

No

Description:

A Nightless game with no normal lynches or kills. Rather, at the end of each day phase, each player will gain 1 Charge. (Day phases are 20 minutes long. I expect, due to the lack of voting, that most of them will end without anything happening. As this is Nightless, when the Day ends, the next Day starts immediately.) Players can gift each other any number of their Charges at any time.

A player with (50 × number of living players) Charges can expend them to kill any other player. Upon doing so, the killed player dies, and everyone's Charges are set to zero.

Vanilla, 6 townies, 2 scum.

Day phases are 20 minutes long. (However, the nature of the game means that it's likely to run to a

lot

of Days.) Because of this, I'm unlikely to be online to process the end of every day, and as such, the game is largely self-moderating. When transferring Charges, players will need to give a full list of each player and how many charges they have. Likewise, for performing kills. The post is invalid if anyone catches the mistake within 72 Days. Otherwise, whatever the post said stands.

Due to the shortness of this game's deadlines, I can understand players missing the occasional Day, or more. For example, it's quite possible that players might be asleep when the game starts, and thus end up missing the first Week or even the first Month. As such, players will only be prodded if they do not post for 96 consecutive Day Phases. Failure to post within another consecutive 96 Day Phases will cause the player to become replaceable, as will being prodded five times. Becoming replaceable means that anyone from outside the game can steal your slot by posting that they are doing so (unless doing so would break site rules, e.g. banned players and players who were previously part of the game cannot replace in).

I will be sporadically updating the thread title to let people know the progress of the game, in addition to giving occasional Charge counts. My main job will be to let people know what their alignment is, to post flips of dead players, and to adjust Private Topic permissions, as these are all things that the players cannot do for themselves; I will also handle prods. I hope you appreciate that I won't necessarily be able to get to these things immediately, though, and the game may thus go several Days without a flip being posted.

(Part of the credit fpr this idea goes to a game I once saw run offsite by a Mafiascum mod (unfortunately, I can't remember where or who). The site's deadlines were too fast for the (Nightless) setup, so they used a majority lynch for most Day phases despite the Nightlessness of the game, and a plurality lynch for a small subset of them; of course, the majority-lynch "Days" went by without anything happening. This just turns the general idea up to

11

a few hundred.)

AoPS. That might be where I go if I want long deadlines.

If your goal is ever to avoid full playerlists of pre teens

You're not gonna win out by migrating to AoPS

Maybe that will change if the change here is genuine and people still want to play a game with a long Day Phase length, which would mean people would migrate to there.

With the number of abandoned Marathon games, I have no choice but to say this was all a joke and that this will not be a Marathon Queue!

Take that mith! XD

That said, all /in to Mods that were made while this was in place will be honoured

The setup I submitted above was mostly a marathon games joke, and I'm not particularly attached to it. (I just wanted to get into the spirit of the April festivities, and had to design it within much less time than normal in order to make the April 1 deadline.)

I'm willing to (very lazily) run it if lots of people are interested, but if not it should probably be pulled from the queue.

Thanks for playing along!! =D

[Korina]

In interest of keeping queue moving: I will pull my game with 24-48 hours unless filled.
Sorry everyone who wanted to play.
I’ll resubmit it as a larger game thus rebalancing it a bit.

[Korina]

Anyone who joined the small one will automatically be re-signed up as a pre-in for the larger one.

[UC Voyager]

There are still 2 spots open on mine.

[UC Voyager]

I will run it if air lets me. My position still stands I saw nothing about a requirement for running a tiny marathon micro
