Games Threshold Discussion and List
« on: November 18, 2009, 11:17:28 am »

Basically, this is where we talk about what games are active, what games are in the queue, and figure out a decent starting point for the various game so that we don't have a giant glut of games killing activity.

Here is a breakdown of games running (or full), in the sign-up stage, and planned. I will try to keep it updated on a fairly regular basis.

Mods: Please look at the list of games running and in the queue before you start sign-ups for your games! We want to keep things manageable around here, and restraint on the part of mods is one of the best ways we have of doing that.

Also, please let me know when you put a game into signups, it starts, or ends so I can update this list. Putting my name in bold with the game that is being affected is the best way to do this.


Active Games Signups/Running:
 


Beginner's Mafia:
   


Games in Queue:
  • Bring Your Own Role: The Board Game - Magma Mater
  • Choose Your Own Spheres - notquitethere
   

Games on Hiatus
   


Planned Games:

The currently running or about to run games (in order of progress):

Name: Host : Status

Toon Mafia V:                                                Toonyman : Active - Day 4
Don't Out Guess the Mod Mafia 2:                      Webadict : Active - Day 3
Bring Your Own Role Mafia -  Pandarsenic Edition : Pandarsenic: Active - Night 2
Not So Beginner's Mafia 2:                                 Dakarian: Active - Day 2
MSPA Mafia:                                                   Neruz : Active - Day 2
Kill Webadict Now: Dakarian Edition :                  Dakarian : Active - Night 1
Chosen Mafia :                                               A_Fey_Dwarf : Active- Night 1
LCS Mafia:                                                    Leafsnail: About to start
BYOR Mafia 2:                                               Webadict : About to start
Bastard(perhaps) Mod:                                   CobaltKobold : Signups - 6/9
One Lynch Mafia :                                          RedWarrior0: Signups - 3/9
Red Vs Blue Election Mafia:                             ExKirby - Signups 0/13
Speed Mafia:                                               Chaoticjosh: Discussions

Did not count the Beginner games since those run on a different group of folks.

13 games on the table.
1 is nearing end game
6 are active and in their mid-early game
2 finished their sign ups and are about to start
3 are currently in sign ups
1 is in Discussion


As for myself, Kill Webadict Now's day phase works me harder than any anything I've done in a game so far and is using almost every feature I could think up for a game.  Except for starting Beginner's Mafia 6 I won't be starting another game till KWN is over.

Oh, and I see why we have so many games:  Everyone wants to host.  Note that even if you limit hosts down to 1 game each (I was thinking of doing that) we'd still have 11 games and more hosts wishing to run.

And mine's started.

I'll try to limit my games to BYOR's and DOGM's for now.

Perhaps I'll move back to Vote Mafia someday...

And I'll wait next time.

Mine can wait a bit. BYORPE is a problem as it is right now, simply because it has a lot of people in it. Dak, can you put how many people are alive and how many started the game, simply because that will give a good estimate. If you're feeling really nice, can you put whether they're deadline or hammer? Both of these could help: hammer games are much less predictable, and more people usually means a longer game.

HIGHLY depends.  Going through each game to find out who's alive is going to be a mess.  If it's on the front page, I can find it, though. 

I have my hands full now that the RPers are back in Day 2 of KWN but we'll see.

Guys..no.. I'm not taking over this task :P  I already have the Karma Board to worry about as well as the Beginners to keep running on top of my hosted and played games.

I don't mind keeping the OP updated, but it'd be best if Mods would post their games in here and keep us up to date on things. Doesn't need to be constant or anything, but at the least I'd like to know when someone has a game for the queue and when a game has started or is about to finish/has finished.

I have a 12-player semi-bastard setup ready to go, just waiting Toon V to finish and a good slot to open up.

That'll work.  Probably just when major events occur:

- When signups start
- When the game has begun
- When the game ends

('about to finish' might be awkward since even at lylo, the game can last a few more days if the town recovers their stride)

No need to keep putting down what day it is or how many players are left.

Then along with that, we keep an idea on how many games we want active.  Meanwhile, folks who want to host a new game would need to get on the que here.  The game has to be on the que before it can go into Signups (though Discussion posts w/o the signup can go forward).

IMO I would say yes.  If a game already picked up everyone then it clearly has enough demand to go in, no matter how many games are running.

Similar for the 3 games that are in Sign Ups: If they are gathering people fast then no reason not to let it through.  If it's having a hard time gathering enough people then it might be best to try to lower the requirement amount or just tell everyone you'll run it later and put it in the que instead.
