A thought occurs. Maybe we should also have a google doc that lists potential players and what kind of games they would be interested in?

I love it.

[Supernerd]

Hm. I do not know how to do word-wrap in a google doc.

[RoseHeart]

Technically, this game is full. However, people on the waitlist have the opportunity to replace players who do not post their action within 72 hours of a new turn. Lately people have been CONSTANTLY neglecting to post their action despite repeated GM complaining. If you want to play just fill out the signup sheet and read the rules. You will have a very good chance of being able to replace someone within the week based on current player activity trends.

I sniped this and put '72 hour wait list' in the roster. To reduce size.

I'd recommend making a post about your game here with any more elaboration you need and conserve the sheet for the quick details.

[Supernerd]

Saying it has a 72 hour wait list is not accurate though. It could be significantly longer than that. Or possibly shorter.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the size of a column if the column itself is minimized.

[RoseHeart]

I've made changes that you may find more satisfying. See doc.

[Supernerd]

Its definitely an improvement.

[Supernerd]

It seems not many people make use of the spreadsheets. Maybe they would be more popular if they were used more often, because I never see any new info when I look at them.

@SN

I think a "Forum Game Request Thread" may fair better. Would you be interested(in setting 1 up?)?

[Supernerd]

I was under the impression that a "Forum Game Request Thread" is exactly what you already made, and I do not understand what you are talking about.

[RoseHeart]

As is it basically is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But the forum game list's purpose has always been primarily, a place for game hosts to advertise their game.

It has in the past also been an archive and, perhaps a place for requests, but this might also make its' way over at gamer's block.

The best run game archives are the roll to dodge hall of fame(active games can be chosen, but it is not -primarily- an active/open game list) and the mafia notable games(the open game list is a seperate thread aswell).

The mafia list does encourage discussion, but that is mainly the hosts asking advice for how to tune their game, much like our roller's block.

I predict a general hall of fame will be the best option for a general archive.

I also predict that moving requests discussion, albeit generally a smaller conversation but one not perfect for a sheet- to its' own thread...

By observing the trends I believe having these three seperate bodies, clearly defined will allow each to focus and work out better.

But I have already made The Game List, The BBC Help Thread, The Gaming Glossary, it's enough really. You did bring up Forum Game Requests so maybe you'd want to set it up? *bounces eyebrows*

Edit: let me ask you this, when you made your answer in the request sheet, do you feel you made something temporary that you would want to remove when someone makes that game or you're unavailable? Or did you feel like you gave a more long-term answer? Something better for a thread?

You could even tally what requests are popular.

[Supernerd]

I get what you are saying, but as it is, I barely have the inclination to keep running my current game. For reasons I cannot understand, players continue to take over 72 hours to post their actions.

[RoseHeart]

It's alright.

Hope you didn't miss my application.

Seattle Dawn, a rules light RPG about fighting mechas to reinstate the deposed President of the united states who I swear isn't Trump despite me specifically making the President sound like Trump to troll my players. But anyway it is very freeform and I am really just looking for some people who will think of something that is as over the top as the Shark bazooka and also not go out of their way to harm civilans.

Your link is broken, it should look like this:
