General Discussion for Elimination/Ranking Game

Anytime you want as there will never be a perfect time.

That is, unless everyone agrees on:

  1. the maximium number of games of each type allowed to run at a time
  2. the maximium number of games overall allowed to run at a time
  3. how much time between similar themed games
  4. a calendar schedule being created to sign up and reserve your game dates

I probably missed a few other concerns about games, but those are the three I remember off the top of my head. The calendar is entirely my idea[1].

That sounds very elaborate. Can’t people just mute the Forum Games category if it is bothering them?

Absolutely no need for a calendar, schedule or rules.

Agreed with this - I don’t often participate in the games, but I’m really not bothered by having as many as people want to run at a time. If I‘m interested, it’s not as if most of these games are all that time-intensive. And if I’m not, muting is easy.

In that case I’ll give it a couple of days and get setup and ready! The way I’ve planned it is each day has different rules, it’ll be moving up and down so a ranking game. I think I’d probably announce after 24 hours what’s locked in and the next 24 hours rules!

Sounds really awesome though! I’m excited to see a new format!

Not an elimination game but this alphabet game I’m very rarely ever so impressed/proud by/of myself :grin:

Thanks to those who’ve clarified and given encouragement, I’ve started my first ever ranking game! Its 15s TV era only, and I plan to drop the rules/locked in stories around the same time each day where possible! I’m intending for the changing rules to make it quite strategically played so will see how it goes!

Firstly, amazing! Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Hopefully there’s lots of chaos :D

Secondly, I like the new pfp!

So to make sure I understand I would swap stories 3 and 4 for instance and that’s my turn? Since a story moved up and another moved down?

You can move story 3 up and story 4 down one. So one up one down!

I think you technically only moved one story.

Or maybe not cos I just did the same thing.

Argh it’s confusing when they are close to each other lol

Edit: No I think mine is fine

Is ‘18th place’ the top or the bottom of the list?

bottom of the list, so the “worst” story ! its why i made the starting point the opposite way round to see how its strategically played! we could end up with a good story in last place..

I got it confused because I thought if i move story up that means rogue has to move down and that was both movements but now I see I very much over thought

If you want to move another story down to fix it, let me know what it is and I’ll do it as long as I agree with your decision

Okay, so I didn’t get that and have moved my choices in the wrong direction.

they were numbered in the intro post but i removed them for the actual game bc i remember before formatting of numbers can often end up messy and wrong
