I would like to petition for non-captains to invite new members to an alliance. Helps to maintain some RP, as the current issue seems to be that the person playing Valkyrie King is not responding yet. Thus, the situation is as it is.
Quote from: Space Jawa
As a counter-point, there is the question of alliances growing out of control beyond what the alliance starters want.
Quote from: Sylveone46
Perhaps we could make it so Alliance starters could veto unwanted additions?
Quote from: HadesTheReaper
You mean like almost every organization that was not made with scale in mind.

Sorry, but you can leave an alliance and make a new one within a turn.

Actions are now locked in.

Nancy Drew/Assault will be permitted a late action due to RL complications. This has been received.

POST-GAME SURVEY



Not to say all feedback will be used, but if you'd like to have a voice in how the game should evolve please take a moment to share your thoughts on this experience:

1. What would be some quality of life changes that you'd like to see?

2. What was confusing? ...overcomplicated? ...not very helpful?

3. What basic gameplay features would you like to see added next time?

Going to take a couple weeks off of hosting this, we'll say the next will go into production on July 1st.

I can only add 1 or 2 new games each time (excluding ones I am familiar with) , if you'd like to say your top 3 most wanted it will help me consider which I should research for consideration for the list.

The game simply isn't long enough to allow these ideas to come to fruition. Imagine a game where you needed fifty VP. Five hundred VP. You could do so much more.
Quote from: Sylveone46, post: 20418738, member: 68736
Fair point.
Honestly maybe raising the point limit to ten for each game would be good, since we could do a lot more while still being vaguely "quick"

(Thank you for the suggestion.) Games will continue to be short while this game is trying to get a footing in a few different places, so those communities/players can 'sample' it.
If this game really takes off and I am sure/convinced there are enough players dedicated to warrent something like a 10 point game, we can try it but only once it makes sense to invest that much time and energy into 1 battle.

The last update will be tomorrow if I have time. Feel free to roleplay until then.

Edit: Sorry guys, I've been feeling pretty stressed, and I don't want it to effect my writing, especially as this is the last time we'll see some of these characters.

Choices are now locked in. As a thank you for your patients, I'll take this time to release the bios.

It's almost July 1, and yet we haven't (truly) even concluded this issue of the grid. I'm not going to be ready to start the next one any time soon. I'm sorry, I'm in a funk right now where weeks feel like hours. To clarify, there's nothing bad that happened in my personal life. It's really just a funk.

I'm actually happy about a lot of things, but my pace with forum games is not full steam ahead as it was last month. And I can't fake it.

I really hope you enjoyed this game, I'm not an especially dependable person and even trying to predict myself I just can't do it. It's childish but, all I wanna do right now is gush over Smash Bros and Game Builder Garage on my Nintendo Switch. I was hosting more than 3 large forum games simultaneously over the past months, and frankly, I am spent.

I just need to focus on me right now, thank you for your understanding.

(Please no new posts in the IC thread. Gameplay and roleplaying-wise The Grid is complete.)

Is there a waitlist? I understand if it’s too late to join, I see I’m not the only one who likes Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

Units are randomly drawn, so unless you replace someone it's totally random. (One of the prizes for winning or scoring kills/capture points is more influence next draw)

The gameplay has wrapped. Issue 2 has no set date, but if what I said about randomness doesn't dissuade you I might bump up the game knowing there's players ready.

I'm feeling good about SufficientVelocity, how about a1s, Secretdorf, and ArchimedesWojak?

That sounds familiar, I think I have an account there, any reason why the game needs to go there instead of here?

Oh no. It's crossforum. I'm just asking if we have enough Bay 12 representation.
