kiwi really needs to learn when to keep his ideas to himself. Secret plot to get our QT wasn't exactly secret. If I wasn't so kind, I'd out the third member. Seeing that all of you can go up, if you don't I will be sad and confused."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

I contributed what I could. I handed in a photoshop image that we ended up notusing for coherency reasons, and I gave pointers on what I felt would work. Most of the major discussion happened while I wasn't online.
I am quite satisfied with our final decision. I really like the concept and I think it would work well.
I'd say the weak links were JDGA and TornadoSwirl. TornadoSwirl never showed up while JDGA showed up once, after I prodded him and essentially went "great job guys."
Personally, it's not a move I favour. There's a reason why we are allowed to speak about this in private, and that's so they don't take pieces of our ideas and fit it in with there ideas. But he did very well, and would've made a better PM for the task had he wanted it, IMO."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

I probably wouldn't play it, but that's just personal preference.

[area="Task #1, Assignment #1]Mish Mash Needs
A game lives and dies based on its player activity (Notify the Players often), which is why letting many players engage in the game is the fourth fundamental. Having to wait in line for your turn can often lead people to lose their interest in a game, so maximizing the amount of people a Mish Mash game can hold allows the game to survive and thrive. Games like Ferris Wheel and What Were You Thinking have virtually no limit on the amount of players that can participate at once, while Optimize allows those waiting in line to effect the current game's outcome.[/area]Last edited by animorpherv1 on Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:22 am, edited 1 time in total."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

I put that there for a reason.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks PM when I see notification.
And if you bump a game and the players aren't posting in it anyways, they likely will continue to not post."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

Players are needed to be notified (Often) when it's their turn.
Then there's an issue with clarity in your essay. If you meant update/bump the thread, you should've put in update/bump the thread instead of notify the players."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

I just don't think some of the choices you made are really fundamentals of a mish mash game.

Well, they were supposed to be the fundamentals of aphenomenalMish Mash game.
...phenomenal ≠ successfully completing.
Surely a phenomenal game has to be played for it to be phenomenal? It's not all there is to it, of course, but a big part of a successful game is a successful play session.
See: Planet Mafiascum which is stalled out, most of Berry's games. All of which have had medium-high activity levels."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

A good game shouldn't be stalling by your own definition. If being active (of which I can only assume you mean the players, and not the mod) is part of a good game then this shouldn't happen."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

Not every successful game needs to be a new idea, Ferris Wheel is hardly new these days yet there's a few seperate games of that on the first page alone. There's also existing games like Yahtzee and Word Morph.
Well Ferris Wheel's Innovation was from the very first game that was made way back a long time ago. Just because it's not innovative now doesn't mean it wasn't innovative before. And then Quilford came up with an idea of "Lovers" with it, to make it Innovative again."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

TornadoSwirl, for obvious reasons.

FTR, what Mist is talking about:
[..][.[::][::][:.][..]
Round, like a circle in a spiral;
like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
on an ever spinning reel.
Like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnivale balloon.
Like a carousel that's turning
running rings around the moon.
