Seems like there are too many games going on right now. I am in most of them and am seeing a common theme. All of them have had a rash of people needed to be subbed out. Well... with the exception of 3 clan that is. Think there is a way to prevent this? Maybe a sticky thread at the top of the meta posting board that has the current list of ongoing games? Can you create that Idle? That would bring it to everyone's attention what games are already in progress and what games are starting soon so that we don't end up with too many games running at once and stretch our numbers too thin.

It isn't that we've got too many games going at once, so much that we had too many games start at once, I think. They'll stagger out in a cycle or two, and we should be good.
Part of the subs problem is when you get a rash of new/er players like we're seeing on the offboards, not all of them are going to be reliable.

Again, what I think is that it would be much better if we could just combine EVERYONE (and I do mean everyone) into one place (preferibly here. ) and then we could just hold two-three games on here at any given time.

Like, I'm even considering shutting down my/the Facebook group and just telling them all to sign up over here.
And then start letting people host TWO at a time...like, whatever the next two are on the hosting list.
And if we can get alllllllll those people from Doembo and Giraffe to come over here...maybe we could add a third game being run at any given time.

I am with you on the dream Idle. Particularly since you can play around with the code here to make things work for specific games. For example I thought that the game that Hoopy, Rysto and I were working on (it seems to have stalled a bit) would have to be played on the SDMB, but then I found out that Idle can disable editing on these boards temporarily. So now it could be played here.
All kinds of good stuff like that.

Yeah, these boards can basically be modified any possible way you can imagine. I can even put people into different forums just based on post count, title, age, or even GENDER. You can override just about ANYTHING on these boards with a hack..and change the whole outlook of them. You can also put members into any sort of restriction you want....even if it just applies to one person. Say I don't want you and you alone to access a forum or topic. I could make it so you don't even SEE it (and can't access it in any way). Or many people if need be.
