I'd mod it myself but I have too many commitments here ATM.
you should mod it when you're done, and we should figure out a way to speed it up. last time I ran it, it just died because people got bogged down in the minutiae of waiting for each person to resolve orders

I'd like to throw out that I'd like to mod a Survivor once Mass Effect finishes. I think that's at the end of the queue. I'm not sure what the flavor will be yet.
The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might. Click here to learn more about the temple and the dungeons.
Okay, no. There need to be stricter rules on large games in general. I doubt they'll be implemented, but it would be really nice to see experience/planning reqs. Right now, if I want to run the game I'm sitting on, it'll take until this time NEXT YEAR to do so. Quite simply, fuck that.

Hint2: I've said for a while that needs to be punished.

Woah, all I said was that I'd like to mod a Survivor game sometime in the far future. I didn't think it was a big deal. But if no one wants me to, then I guess it won't happen.
I think that only having one survivor game at a time is fine, and probably wouldn't be 'too much survivor' or anything like that.
If someone just joined MS out of the blue and wanted to run a survivor, then that would be questionable, but someone like Snakes I'd expect to a pretty good job at modding a Survivor?
Obviously as I said, I'm not very familiar with it all, so I may not know what I'm talking about.
Maybe we can have Sky Pillar start at F10 for Mehdi's game. It will cut down some of the wait time, if people are willing to have to deal with 2 games at once for a bit.

Just to be clear: when I said I wanted to run a Survivor, I meant after all the other games had finished, and mine would be the only one. I wouldn't want to run my game at the same time as another one.
The more interesting thing is I think I queued to host a survivor pretty shortly after I joined (although if we need experience I have hosted two off site survivor type games). I'd rather continue with a laid back policy and punish if a problem occurs not directly be stricter on things.
Welp touched a few nerves due to phoneposting. First of all: Snake, I have nothing personally against you, you're a perfectly competent player and this has nothing to do with you at all. Ani, fuck you (this is a joke, people).
The main difference here is that I come from the mafia queue school of thought, which means experience + planning = game. It's my personal opinion that in order to get in a "queue" (but Xalxe it isn't a queue--yes it is shut up) you should be able to show that you could run the game tomorrow if asked to. However, the way things are right now is that Snakes can say "hey I wanna run a game" and it pushes my three pages of detailed planning back three months (again nothing against Snakes just saying). I also think that you should have modded SOMETHING else in the forum that roughly prepares you for running a large game because it's an effort (but Xalxe you just kind of jumped right in--yes different times different rules).
But hey what do I know, feel free to shout me down etc etc
EDIT: I meant to put something in here about "privilege not a right etc etc" but I forgot, so just imagine that bit.

Speaking of me, I might run that Survivor game I thought about running earlier. It will start after a seekrit project that I begin at the beginning of February finishes.
