Large Theme Game List (Moderators) (Former)

[Phoebus]

You might want to read the header post and update the link in your sig in a bit.

[Phoebus]

Welcome back! (soon?)

[Phoebus]

Then there would be no one to grade and pass you f00!

[Phoebus]

How many games have you modded before?
It is recommended that you finish atleast one mini successfully as a mod before you are let on the Free Market.

Link Dutchboy to BrunchmafX and then he'll see if it qualifies as a success.

[Phoebus]

You want anything done in kidvi?

[Phoebus]

It *would* be easier to read them if they were anchored.

Yes! I'm spreadng my petition beyong site ideas!

[Phoebus]

You can click on the usergroup "avtoritet" from the link at the top of this page and say: unsubscribe

[Phoebus]

I suggest you not go over 30 inspite of (any potential) player demand.

[Phoebus]

Patience.
FD isn't gone usually.
He's been sick and busy with school.
Cut him some slack.

[Phoebus]

No, there is no time set.
As soon as he feels fit and caught up with school.

[Phoebus]

Hall Monitor reporting for List Mod duty?

[Phoebus]

What do you think?
Is it, apply to Hall Monitor for List Mod duty?

[Phoebus]

Thinking just makes me tired

I've noticed that lately...

[Phoebus]

Or with being Dutch?

:: flees ::

[Phoebus]

Classic Dutchie Syndrome.
Looks like a strong strain.
First it was just the dysgraphia, not it's dyslexia too!
It's gone from the fingers to the eyes!!

[Phoebus]

OMG! It's contagious too!

:: faints ::

[Phoebus]

Psst...separate line for the "special favours"
meet me in the back room.

[Phoebus]

I wish you'd have waited to start the signup thread until you were given the "go ahead"
What if your experience did not count up?
What if I wanted to be evil?
What if I got severely ticked off for being taken for granted in the sense that I would say yes?

HMM?

Meh.
Go ahead.

[Phoebus]

Seeing as Open Role was well received...

May the Force be with you!

Stop undermining my power MeMe! ::flexes::

[Phoebus]

Excuse?

Excuse me. If you can find another reviewer and have them pass it, I will have no problem with passing it, given you find a proper co-mod.
Otherwise, wait till after the 12th when finals finish.

[Phoebus]

Talk to Coron.
He knows my views.
I'm not discussing this in public.

[Phoebus]

New thread is ready and locked.
Give me a heads up when the final invite list is ready and I'll open the thread for the rest.

[Phoebus]

You're a pain!
Is Egypt more mythical or civ oriented? Can you say?

[Phoebus]

I *have* glanced at it. And it looks good. Haven't quite gotten around to noting down comments.
It is a normal game and my suggestion would be not to try and fit a theme around it.
As it stands right now, I think it would be quite enjoyable as a normal

[Phoebus]

From now till the first of april, my access will be sporadic at best.

Leo and Cadmium have the 'go ahead' to start London II signups whenever they are ready.

I am hoping to start my vacation on or around April the First and may not have access to the internet till April the 15th.
So, any other stamps might take a little while coming but I'll get to it ASAP.


Cheers.
Phoebus.

[Phoebus]

BJ...Please get your setup reviewed by someone and appoint a co mod for the game.
I'll get around to reviewing your previously modded game soon enough.

Sinister Overlord:

Prudent. Please let me know when the setup has been double checked.
I believe you have already asked for help once in the setup review thread but it might be useful to bump that request again.

I have internet access for the next week, until the 22nd.
If it happens until then, great. Or it will have to wait till the first of May.

Cheers.

[Phoebus]

Only if you spell my name right.

[Phoebus]

You can prolly try again later

[Phoebus]

Sorry fella.
There's a setup in review at present.

Doesn't mean you can't work on a second one...

[Phoebus]

Depending on previous performances, mods may be allowed to mod multiple games in the Free Market on an experimental basis.

Review shall be taken over the summer.

If you're interested in modding multiple games, please be sure to get them reviewed and appoint a co-mod.
Then come and ask for a pass here, as usual.

Previous experience (and not just no. of games modded but activity as a mod) shall be taken into consideration for both, mod and co-mod.

A limit of two games at a time is recommended and since the size of the game usually reflects its complexity, I request you to think things through before venturing into modding two really large and/or complex games at the same time.

[Phoebus]

I'd need that reviewed by a competent person once it's written.
Sycko's performance in Resident Evil has been far from compelling.

[Phoebus]

I now deem thee, Sir Competent of Caledonia.

[Phoebus]

Now that depends on what skill you are talking about.

[Phoebus]

See?
Now you knew the answer.
Why must you brag?

There is also dirty linen in the hamper and a skeleton in the closet, you know...

[Phoebus]

But remember that you need to have put quite a lot of thought in your idea before you can claim it, and that you can't keep a claim up for years.

That's from the rules post.

Are you just pitching a stake? Or is your tent ready too?
Many games are developed without notice, so if someone wants to run something similar tomorrow, I can't/wouldn't stop them.

[Phoebus]

Very often?
Ever?



And yes Crola - I see you made a fair mod but all nitpicking aside, as Flay said, those are base rules. I can decide to overrule a mod for poor previous performance.

[Phoebus]

Please find a backup mod in that time as well

[Phoebus]

The number of abandoned games especially by

experienced

mods makes me require a co mod. Sycko being co mod on this, does nothing to re assure me.
Especially with them being "kids" and summer approaching, I want no chances of it being abandoned due to vacation and what not.
The "kids" will get an opportunity but I just want to make sure it won't go awry.

Maybe you can ask Fuldu if he wants to be a standby in case something happens?

[Phoebus]

I think it's acceptable.
When they said it's been reviewed, I supposed this process had already been done...

[Phoebus]

There is no waiting list here.

You need prior modidng experience, a ready, reviewed game, a backup mod named and you're good to go.

[Phoebus]

Hmm!

Who

has

reviewed it then?

[Phoebus]

newbies? no.
Mini/normal - yes.

Review/backup mod - yes.

You don't necessarily need a co mod. Just someone nominated to see the game through lest you can't finish it.

[Phoebus]

Be nice!
I can find out where you live!

[Phoebus]

I'll post you a good luck card at this time and send you to a reviewer as well.
Then promise me by all that's holy to you that you won't flake out over the summer and satisfy the reviewer and you can have what you like.

Get a backup mod appointed while you're at it.

[Phoebus]

Designer mafia would be an exception.
Though FD had me take a general look at one of the designers and had to tweak some of the roles himself.

Otherwise, mod experience and previous mod achievements (or otherwise) are things I take into account.
New mods will certainly be sent to reviewers, as will those who had problems in earlier games. And ambitious games like Quag's will most certainly need a review.

[Phoebus]

If you don't know, I doubt it.

Previous modding experience?

[Phoebus]

Fritzler, STD is right.
Spork, you need a full game (mini or regular) run without major problems before you can get on here.

[Phoebus]

No.
A full game by yourself.

[Phoebus]

I would prefer it if you modded a game and fulfilled those requirements before claiming multiple games.
Or are at least going to be modding soon.

If you're nowhere near getting to mod on another list and another mod wants to run a claimed theme, I will let them.

Yes, this was for spork.

[Phoebus]

There's no need to get snotty.
It was obvious that my post was written without checking any of the other lists.
I don't need to. You provide links to previous modding experience.

Sassing me, won't earn you any extra points, experience or no experience.
Quite the opposite really.

[Phoebus]

Just out of curiosity -- do you block mods for any reason other than inexperience? I mean, if they "sass" you can you prevent them from running a game?

I haven't done so yet. I don't want to find out if I need to do it in the future.
It's not about me or my ego but it's not too much to expect a little decency, is it? I don't even claim respect.

As far as FD's being a spork fan or not, whether or not you get to be co-mod depends on the mod who wrote the game, and not any list mod.

Alrighty, I finally got someone (Quagmire) to review my setup for me, and I bribed Mathcam to be my co-mod. What else needs to be done before I can start signups?

According to the front post:

If you want to start sign-ups make a post in this thread, and include at least the following information:

• Your game name.
  
  
• The flavour text.
  - Add as much flavour text as you want. It will be included in the signups
  
• The number of players.
  
  
• Your experience, if you haven't modded a large game before.
  - Please provide links to relevant threads so that the current List Mod can check to see if you're qualified to begin sign-ups. It will make his/her life much more easier.

[Phoebus]

I just felt like mentioning that I find it disconcerting when posts disappear out of this thread and I wish that mods would be encouraged to start their own sign up threads

Meh. I'll follow FD.
It allows me to use the cool moderating options on the forum!

[Phoebus]

Unless you have successfully run a game elsewhere, yes.
If the roles are mostly vanilla, you can prolly sign up on the New York list.
Ask if Cadmium wants to peruse the setup.
You can send it to me as well, if you like.

[Phoebus]

PBug, find and appoint a co-mod please.
Your access was spotty during greek mini.

BJ, please modify your setup as you please and get a reviewer look at it. Maybe they can suggest changes for the duelling mechanic and volunteer as backup mod.

[Phoebus]

Regardless.
This is your first large game. I'm not trying to be insensitive.
I prefer insurance.

[Phoebus]

Go for it.
You know the drill -

write, review, appoint (backup)!

[Phoebus]

If you want to start sign-ups make a post in this thread, and include at least the following information:

• Your game name.
  
  
• The flavour text.
  - Add as much flavour text as you want. It will be included in the signups
  
• The number of players.
  
  
• Your experience, if you haven't modded a large game before.
  - Please provide links to relevant threads so that the current List Mod can check to see if you're qualified to begin sign-ups. It will make his/her life much more easier.

[Phoebus]

I'd prefer the setup be reviewed by someone.
Appoint a backup mod in case of emergencies please. Just send them choices at the end of each night.
Since Shrade is the one with the modding experience, I would've preferred, him having posted this.
If you have modding experience on the GL, please link me.

If and when approved, this game *does not* give you (darquiel) experience to start a Free Market game of your own in the future. As it is, since you already have no modding experience, Schrade will be expected to be doing most of the work. With a joint account, I cannot tell who did what. The necessary experience can be gained by running a mini or regular game on scum or one on the GL.

And for future information, chat modding counts towards nothing on board.

Approval pending the game's review and a performance review for Schrademan in his money. Mostly, the former.

P.S.: Schrade requires to have

completed

modding one game. Use that time to get this reviewed.

[Phoebus]

Unsolicited suggestion: Bounce ideas with DP? I think he's been toying around with the concept as well...

[Phoebus]

Actually, I PM'ed him and making it a 60 player game is exactly what might not make it worthwhile for scum. Quagmire had a torrid time seeking replacements in his 40 player game.
I suggested putting up a notice in MD asking for scummers to visit FBG. I know there are a few players who would be interested and it would be easier than bringing half of FBG over.

Iammars, I will get back to you ASAP.

[Phoebus]

I'd rather you finalise everything before starting signups.

Iammars,
Given your designed mini was run but STD and now you're running his large game...I'd rather the current Dragon Mafia ended before I give you approval to run your game here.

[Phoebus]

So let me know when you have the final review.
Please appoint a backup. This person should get night choices processed after each night and a copy of the setup in case you are unable to continue. This is purely a fallback measure. I realise AniX is co mod but please appoint a backup.

[Phoebus]

You seem to be thinking along the proper lines.

[Phoebus]

If all else fails, poke me.

[Phoebus]

Foolster, I'll get right back to you on that.

[Phoebus]

Sorry. I do that when I'm randomly bored

[Phoebus]

On principle I do not approve of mods signing up for a game with a "more experienced co-mod". You may be capable of handling it but a rule is a rule.
Please mod a mini first or talk to mith.

Narninian might want to propose sign-ups for this himself once I-C mini ends and I

will

require a rewview and backup on this.
In case Narninian is allowed signups and subsequently Zero does most of the work, something I have no way of knowing, this game will still not count as Zero's full experience.

[Phoebus]

mini/normal game mod experience pre/post crash here or the GL or brunchma OR
mith's lovin'

[Phoebus]

Sorry -o-,
Newbies don't count. In fact I'm not sure you should be modding newbies without experience either.

[Phoebus]

You'll have to get in line. I'm waiting on Phoebus Phoedback myself.

*moves to another country, changes nick, cowers in shame*

[Phoebus]

In the build up?
To what effect?

You want a "pre game" thread or something?
At least fill signups first.

Mac...you're using capital letters. Is everything all right??

[Phoebus]

I'll split this the day before

[Phoebus]

Read the first post.

[Phoebus]

I think stark will have relayed to you what I told him.

[Phoebus]

My! How elitist!

[Phoebus]

It's still elitist!

You're no good.
We're too good for you. Go away! Etc. *chuckle*

[Phoebus]

Not that the current themes will particularly attract poaching but let me reiterate that the claim is a general notice for when you have the game mostly ready but perhaps not enough time to run it currently.

If your games are not ready at all and exist only in your heads and tomorrow someone wants to run Wacky Food Fight Mafia, I will let them.

[Phoebus]

That's how you do it!

[Phoebus]

I feel inclined towards a tantrum.

Sign up for the mini list here.
"Attempted" modding whether it was the players or something else will not hold water.
It is also unlikely that I'll let the game go ahead if you don't finish modding a game here (or potentially elsewhere) but find someone else to design/co-mod.

[Phoebus]

*sigh*

[Phoebus]

Quote it all!

It can happen that you have this great idea for a game, while you don't have the experience or the time to mod it yet. If you want to avoid someone stealing your game idea (deliberately or without even knowing about it), you can claim it here. Ideas you have claimed cannot be used by anyone else without your permission.

But remember that you need to have put quite a lot of thought in your idea before you can claim it, and that you can't keep a claim up for years.

If there is no indication that you will ever use the idea, your claim might be cancelled and others will be able to use it.

If you want to claim an idea, post in this thread what you have got until now. You don't need to post all details, but something more than "I want to run a Garfield Mafia!" is required.

You need to have a clear idea of what the game is going to be like.

Claims are just to

avoid a situation where people start a game with the same theme which you have put a lot of effort in setting up but are not yet ready to run.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into it?
Or are implications of that not clear?
[aside]I just read today that young Brits these days are poorer in English than kids taught English as a second language because they watch too much TV.[/aside]

I also said:

Not that the current themes will particularly attract poaching

I haven't felt like my title in a while. Bite me.

And I want to know what you edited. Email me.

[Phoebus]

I should edit it to say that you must put have mental and behavioural effort (as in writing it down somewhere) both, before claiming.

Of course I can wash my hands off this totally by just saying that FD wrote the front post and he's Dutch. So that eshould explain everything! :twsited:

[Phoebus]

^^^ What he said.
Finish a mini. The mini regular queue isn't long. I don't like shortcuts that allow people to skirt the rules. A recent occurrence has not exactly made me happy.

I will not be approving this game until you have the required experience. If that is a problem, please consult mith.

[Phoebus]

Reviewed?
Appoint a backup please.
And spell collaborated properly.

[Phoebus]

You didn't spell collaborated correctly.

Do it. Do it NOW!
100 hundred times!
And no copy/pasting!

[Phoebus]

^^ What he said. Minus the
I'm nicer than that.

[Phoebus]

The "experience" required for Theme Park is modding experience. Not just having played a (few) game(s).

So yeah...what Fritzboi said.

[Phoebus]

Seol is now your list mod for the free market.

[Phoebus]

Certain games have been approved.
Anyone who has been missed, please re apply.

We will probably wait a while for the approved games to fill up/start before starting any new ones.

If you've applied and not specified a reviewer and/or a backup, please do so.

[Phoebus]

Both these games have been approved.
Please look for them in the queue.

Also approved - royal family mafia.
Any recent applications which are missing from this thread have their own thread in the queue now.

[Phoebus]

I've cleaned up the modlist somewhat.
If you've lost powers and need them, please PM me, indicating your game.

[Phoebus]

All pending backlog will be addressed this weekend.

[Phoebus]

MBF,
Create your thread.
Appoint a backup.
Apply to Avtoritet once your game is full.

[Phoebus]

You may not apply to this list until you have modded two of one kind or one of each kind of the following games:

approved open setups (follow kelly's link from the last thread you started)
mini regular game

If you have experience modding games on another website, PM me the links.
they will be forwarded to mith and then it will be decided whether you can bypass the modding reqs.

until then, please sign up for the queue for mini regular or open games.

[Phoebus]

pariah, go ahead and create your thread.

[Phoebus]

welcome back?

[Phoebus]

Sounds like a plan.

[Phoebus]

*stamp*

your backup is....Thesp?

[Phoebus]

Only if you:

A) Turn caps lock off

B) Say please

C) Learn to use BB code properly

[Phoebus]

I hope you've taken into consideration the comments your last game received, when designing this game?

[Phoebus]

Both games are a go.

[Phoebus]

stamp

stamp

stoof already has powers.

brite can ask for them once game is full.

please create your own threads.

and happy new year all.

[Phoebus]

Brite has access.
Will look into snakes in about 12 hours.

K-Scope...I thought I replied to you.
If I haven't, please excuse me - your PM has been forwarded to mith.

Glork - stamp.
and send me the setup. i'm curious

[Phoebus]

Most assumptions are generally wrong.

Check your PMs.

[Phoebus]

both games are a go.

[Phoebus]

you could send it to me...

[Phoebus]

Sorry berry.

Been berry berry busy.

If you find someone to look it over, let me know. Or shall get to it. Soon.
Blame mith for me falling into bad habits!

[Phoebus]

MoS, stamp.

fritzler - i have to ask, and i better get to know.
please link me. I remember only eternal sunshine mafia, off hand.

[Phoebus]

um...did fritz run it?

i think all that occured when i was away...
i'm talking mod experience

[Phoebus]

k

go ahead then.

[Phoebus]

talk to meme

[Phoebus]

id like to claim full rights over

Chinese New Year Mafia

unless already done so, no-one can now do a game featuring the animals from the Chinese Calendar.

Um.
Yes they can, if they have experience and your game isn't ready.

Only claim a game which is ready and you are waiting for some reason other than to gain modding privilege requirements.

[Phoebus]

repost would be good

[Phoebus]

go ahead CD

[Phoebus]

I'm going to randomly start nuking posts and users such as the above.

Claims are required for really popular themes that might be run by any number of people.

What is Ace Attorney?
Is the setup ready?
Is anyone else really going to claim this theme before you get mod experience?
You are aware of the experience requirements. How long do you reckon your games shall last? Could be a really long time. What if someone else wants run this theme?

Hmm?

Next time someone puts up a ridiculous claim, I shall do one of three things:

a] ask for the setup, which needs to be 90% ready for a claim to be in place.
aa] if the setup is not ready, relentless fun shall be made of the claiming user.

b] nuke the request and/or the user

c] run the theme myself!


[/rant]

[Phoebus]

Yes, repeat themes are allowed.

Read the whole paragraph. Look at the context.
I have no beef with you in particular.

That post was written when theme park experience was less stringent. Perhaps it needs editing but given the current requirements, any claim you make will be up for too long a time to make the claiming any useful.

I think I shall talk to the Boss about this.

[Phoebus]

Not necessarily your blunder.

But yes, that needs to be looked into. The Boss has been notified.

[Phoebus]

Thok, I dub thee, Sir Snark!

I can use all the

minions

help I can get on this.


Mgm, go ahead.


Others, prepare to be nuked!

[Phoebus]

Pick one out of the two

[Phoebus]

The setup discussion which was going on here earlier has been moved to MD.

Look for a thread titled: Random setup idea

[Phoebus]

Kelly, you would not need a co-mod
But I prefer you appoint a backup who could take over in case you drop off the face of the earth
However unlikely that is...


Send this person the role details and updated night choices.
they don't need to do anything else.

[Phoebus]

Go ahead Flay.
Review is fine.
Without meaning to sound like a complete bastard, I think you might want a back-up, back-up.
Lee knows I love him (I hope) but he also knows what he's done earlier...

[Phoebus]

I actually mean to sound like that most of the time.
That's why the clarification is necessary

If you need, you can poke me to help when you're away.

[Phoebus]

Whenever you're ready, Kelly...

Once your signups fill up, PM me or subscribe to Avtoritet.

[Phoebus]

i shall deal with the backlog soon...

[Phoebus]

omg lurker!

[Phoebus]

BM - go ahead

Foolster - find a backup and get back to me

Raj - find a backup and get back to me

[Phoebus]

Here is Phoebus...
Your PM has been replied to.

Thesp - go ahead

[Phoebus]

Yes...I've been wondering why that's not been changed...

I'm back but perhaps we can switch places?

[Phoebus]

The jester is right.

As long as your co/back ups have decent enough records and credentials* (on top of your own) you're good to go.

*The acceptability of the co/backups will depend on the List Mod though.

[Phoebus]

Yes...I've been wondering why that's not been changed...

I'm back but perhaps we can switch places?

Have a look now and see if you agree.

haha!

you'er weird.

would you have me as a backup?

[Phoebus]

In a word?

yes.


<<severely editted a long winded speech here >>

what time do you foresee yourself being away?

[Phoebus]

Phoebus will be backup mod for Space Monkey Mafia 2: Pigs in Space!

<3

Nice to see you Pip!

<3<3<3

[Phoebus]

i already pinged you on AIM but am not feeling the luv!

[Phoebus]

Send me a postcard!

Where are you going?!

[Phoebus]

Hmm...
Wonder if you said hi to them for me!

Good times, my friend. Good times!

[Phoebus]

Did you read the general guidelines to game reservations?

[Phoebus]

(

I think

I'm going to have it reviewed as well...)

Super fixed

[Phoebus]

Maca - you might want to talk to the orange ones...yeah.
