I don't know what to call the type of game
Anyone interested in a third? It would be considerably shorter than GH's and I believe split's as well, set in current day, no zombies or aliens or 15 billion dollar defence budgets.

"Interactive Story" is the term.
Though you given me an idea of one set in the Org Mafia universe.

If theres a third, its mine
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Don't worry, I recognise you as the next successor. I was doing a mental picture of GeneralHankerchief's face when he reads my post doing the following:
*reads post*
*waits a few moments* ...
*facepalms*
*turns around, facing out the window*
"BESKAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Quick! Lets all start them at once!
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
I think 2 is more than enough but if people want them then who am I to say otherwise.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
2 is enough, but the idea of an .Org one intrigues me
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
I second Subotan. Lets wait for one of the game to finish.

What's it about?
- Four Horsemen of the Presence
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Thats the problem, I don't know how long split's is planned for, but I asked GH and he said his was planned to take all of 2010.

Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Sure. You start with one.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
I say YES!
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Well if theres interest then do it... No reason not too.
I for one would love as many non mafia games as possible lol.... As Ive decided I dont like large online mafia games, cant be bothered to analyse ever person lol.

Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
A multiple person one sounds interesting, but it is fraught with problems, such as, are other characters allowed to know the results?
So this might mean you might result in having to do PM's to give out results (which hides the story from others).
The biggest problem of such a move is the fact it will take up a lot of time doing a lot of orders. So there must be a significant time investment on your part to make it work.
My ORG idea is going to be significantly more fast paced compared to Splits and GH's games, which are rumoured to last the year. This is mainly a combination due to my activity levels on the .ORG and I won't make the "world" that big. It would be working on the combination of the 3 .ORG mini games and the .ORG small game world. (So only characters I already used before) with the possibility of another moderator, as he will be replacing one of the ones who just retired.
Anyway pevergreen, you can start now if you like. Up to you.

Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
I'll need permission from mods.
Even if I don't, I wont do it without it.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
GH said in the other thread that it was up to you.
However, if we want to formalise it. I suggest that people work on stories in advance and work out how many turns it will last.
I think 1 turn per day, for 30 days (similar) average could count as a short game. A large game would be 3 months, aka 90 turns. A huge game would be more.
I would make my Org version a short game, for instance.
Also, I think we should formalise the name/genre as: "Interactive Story" as it is akin to interactive stories.

Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
You can't really judge that to it... Something as simple as in splits game, what if we didnt go home. We would have never found out we don't appear in picture and therefore etc etc.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Well my idea was to just post everyones moves openly, but they send me orders via PM, so no body knows whats happening really till the write up....A multiple person one sounds interesting, but it is fraught with problems, such as, are other characters allowed to know the results?

As for the effort levels, it would only be a small number of players like 10 max.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Stilldawns idea sounds more like a normal role playing game. Not that theres anything wrong with it.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
yeah basically but will be as open ended as GH's game.... like no set rules at all lol.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
If you stay tuned to my game, you'll find out the answer to this question very soon, probably in one of the next three writeups
Rest in peace TosaInu
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Yeah, shouldn't you be getting on one of those write-ups about now? You've only had all day.If you stay tuned to my game, you'll find out the answer to this question very soon, probably in one of the next three writeups

I said to give me time for a reason, which will become clear when you read the writeup... I need tiem to gather information, do rolls, and whatnot. It's really going to take a long time.

Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Yeah, just an example split.
I wanna start now.

Do you know if you'll be doing phases like my game?
If so I might be able to work it out so that we switched back and forth every phase... Such that we could each get a break from hosting for a little bit, in case either of us need it, without having to forfeit our game in whole.
Thoughts?
Rest in peace TosaInu
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
No, not really.
In mine you start off, you quickly find out what the objective is, and there is only that one objective.
No dream worlds, no crazy alternate world.
Much simpler, much shorter as well.
(This is mainly because i could go create a wonderful world for it to take place in, but my writing skills are terribad, so it would all turn into mush)
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Have a try anyway. Even I'm doing write up and I got terrible grades in English.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
You could do it on TWC.
Re: Interest in a third Italics order game?
Never. I don't like TWC.
Beefy: Surely you know how bad my writeups are...
You ever hear about that short story that we had to write end of term 3, in yr 12? I finished mine off with the lyrics to "never gunna give you up" in french.
