So how about that dying games forum, eh?

***Fenris*** · 04-06-2009, 07:05 AM

Throw some ideas at me. Or I'll have to come up with some myself, and trust me, nobody wants that.

This might be a good place to start looking for a solution to the lack of mafia. We have lots of people dropping out of the mafia waiting list and a large number of the mafia games end in entropy.

Why not let it die an hoborable death. Will you just continue to exploit every idea and to rape this forum?

Of course you will.

You know what the problem is? All the big players jumped ship and went to HoRP. Which sucks, cause I like this place more.

Nikose Tyris · 04-06-2009, 05:50 PM

Because HoRP is an abomination of bad ideas with maybe 2 good ones thrown in with horrible execution.

But regardless-

I wouldn't mind seeing a few mindless trivia games, where you ask a riddle, a question, whatever. None of this 'Thats not a riddle so that type of question needs its own game' bullshit. Riddles, Questions, Trivia, any of that in one thread and winner picks whatever the hell he wants.

"Make a Poem" that fits rhyme a specific Rhyme Scheme about a specific topic.
(In example, "A poem about Lemons in A,A,B,B,A). Doesn't take too much effort, and if a bunch of people complain about "he hijacked and I worked hard on this" you have two choices, either set it to be challenger picks a winner, or let them whine because it's a forum game and you're making a rhyme about lemons for gods sake.

DRAW NIKOSE IN FUNNY HATS cause that should totally be a game

Maybe move the 'vs' thread down here and get people to debate and do little votes over which hero is superior with a clear concise arguement presented (which will invariably decend into "OMG WOLVERINE COULD TOTALLY DEFEAT CYCLOPS CAUSE WOLVERINE IS IMMUNE TO DEATH LAWLZ")

Okay so maybe my ideas suck but I'm trying D:

Didn't HoRP form specifically because Mafia wasn't going so well here? 'cause that's what I remember, so it seems silly to blame Mafia dying out here on it. Anyways, as far as I've seen, most of the people active in Mafia there are here, too.

Shouldn't we just look back through the archives and remind ourselves of some of the games we used to have and revive some of the more popular ones?

Or failing that, Calvinball.

No.

I did it too so I think it's okay for me to say that.

And yeah a lot of active members DID leave here to go there, at least active game members.

Tendronai · 04-06-2009, 07:28 PM

If you want some new activity but don't actually want to think of anything new, why not take a couple of the old ideas from Dead Games (like Balderdash, Corrupt a Wish, etc.) and make new threads for them?

They're pretty easy to get into and could trick some people into coming here.
