May as well put my name out there for a Survivor for the bottom of the queue. Theme, co-mods, other information will come up eventually, I have something like eleven months before I get to the top. Anonymous and 21 players most likely, but subject to change.

Enough people know their boundaries that it could work. I'd put a warning about it in the OP if that happened, but I wouldn't restrict it unless they've already tried it and failed.

It's been many years since I posted or played here, so do I have to re-prove myself or can I have my moderator powers back in the event I start inventing and running games again?

There are no modding experience requirements for non-social games on Mish Mash, but you need a co-mod for anything big (for example, a Survivor, a Big Brother, or similar).

How does the queue work in this subforum?

Just announce your large social game and you're in the queue. Anything that isn't large and social can just be posted.

Can I propose a game and make a signup thread or do I have to run it past admin/mods first?

If it's not a large social game, then you can just make the thread.

Does anyone want to play Factions?

What is it?

I don't recognize you, but I only joined a couple years ago. Hello!

Give it a week, we're in that short phase between big social games right now.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #434 (isolation #7) » Thu Sep 10, 2015 10:39 am

Assuming every game in the queue runs, your game will go on after the movie leaves theaters. Probably even if one game doesn't happen.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #437 (isolation #8) » Thu Sep 10, 2015 12:08 pm

I only said "if the games run," I never said anything about the order in which that happens.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #441 (isolation #9) » Thu Sep 10, 2015 1:11 pm

I believe it will be Cephrir and I going next.

Legitimate announcement within the coming week, don't expect signups to start for at least a week and a half.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #505 (isolation #10) » Fri Sep 11, 2015 12:50 pm

I like requiring some semblance of a structure of the game to get into the queue (for example, how many players, certain twists you want to implement, a general format for how the game will go). Hard to enforce unless the queue coordinator doesn't play any games, but it would be ideal.

The problem is that xof had this game slot for a while yet does not want to run your game yet. And she even knew that it would be two Survivors back-to-back for a while, which she doesn't want to do.

What I propose is that any moderator going into the queue while they have another game running or in the queue must be at least three games apart, and I also feel like anybody unable or unwilling to run their game when it comes up should at the least lose their spot.

Anybody who expects to play in Battle of the Bands is requested to PM me as soon as possible. Trying to gauge player numbers since we're testing out the new system. You don't have to be 100% sure that you'll play.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Game start will most likely be the second weekend of October, unless PSV moves fast enough that we can go earlier.

We're just going to make this an informal /pre-in process, anybody who sends Ceph and I something that makes us fairly confident that you will be playing in the game will get priority for characters when we actually start. (If we do fill and need to make cuts, this is not a guarantee that you will be put in).

Notice: We've made an agreement with Flameaxe and CC that we will switch our spots in the queue. In theory RSX will run staggered with Vanilla, and we will run in December or so, but I'm not positive.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #672 (isolation #15) » Tue Nov 10, 2015 11:27 am

I'd consider playing.

Maybe what you could do if you don't get 34 people is try with 17 with everyone controlling two distant SCs?

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #673 (isolation #16) » Tue Nov 10, 2015 11:28 am

Also, just a notice that Survivor: Battle of the Bands is within about three weeks of starting the application process.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #676 (isolation #17) » Wed Nov 11, 2015 3:37 am

Yeah, all communication in a public press game will happen in public (ie. you can't send PMs).

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #686 (isolation #18) » Wed Nov 25, 2015 3:05 pm

Sign-ups for Survivor: Battle of the Bands will begin on Monday evening!

Get thinking about your artist choices!

Though neither of these were Survivors.

I'm fine with reusing themes or even other.people making Pokemon games but there's got to be some factor differentiating them.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #1115 (isolation #30) » Fri Oct 21, 2016 4:51 am

I don't mean "do a different aspect of Pokemon". I mean "make it different from all the other games that have run." Thats why nobody was up in arms when Arena, Colosseum, and PokeOcalypse ran. Even within a Survivor we can make it different through twists or mechanics or anything else.

(LLD I think people are just discouraged by the fact that the last few Mole games were modflaked. We do need one though.)

Just a heads up that I may try to run a Skype or otherwise live Survivor during the week of February 20th. If interested, fill out this Doodle so I have a better idea as to when people are available. This isn't binding, just trying to figure out when people may be available, so don't worry.

The date for the Skype Survivor is going to have to change, unfortunately. Will probably be on Tuesday 2/21 still at 8pm, but I'll make a thread when I know for sure.

My schedule is still unpredictable for next week.
