The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame [Concluded]

I'm back in john. My internet situation is much better than expected.

The fact that nobody wants to play in these games saddens me.

I wonder if it's due to them being small games, or due to them being hosted by "rookie" hosts like Cent and john.

In the first case, I feel that small games are just as fun as large games, but they just have a different feel. In the second case, that's really just unfair- how are the less-experienced hosts going to get more experience if nobody plays their games?? And hosting isn't even that difficult- in very few cases have I ever seen a bad host or an unbalanced game. What's making people who line up to join Mafia IX, Shadow Fort, and Star Wars suddenly chicken out when they see this one? I've even done a little advertising in those threads for Cent's game and got no results.

Sorry about that rant. It's just been a while since I played a good small game since they take so long to get sign-ups for. I really like small games. I'm also better as a mafioso in smaller games than in large ones (go figure ).

Anyway, I hope this fills up soon.

I agree Chaotix, players just effectively go 'they've hosted good games before, I'll stick with what I know' I agree small games are easily as good, its more intimate, easy to keep track off and less to suspect, yet that in itself often generates discussion.

Johnhughthom needs willing players, he has done AAR's, he is an accomplished writer, I already tell that this will be good if things go to plan....

Everything you both said pretty much sums up how I feel too; just go around like a walking advertisement as I do or poke people you know into signing up. I've poked Beskie into signing up, hopefully more will follow suit.

I think that the forum's generally missing the likes of CDf and Centurion who would join a game like this without hesitation, it's simply that they're busy with endeavours outside of the Org for the time being. It's just getting towards that time of year when people are preoccupied with other things. All the new or returning blood I see generally seems to steer towards the larger games too, which is a shame and probably doesn't help.

johnhughthom's clearly put alot of thought and effort into this and you can be assured it's going to be fun, so sign up!

I was thinking about creating a thread called "Why you should play small games", but you beat me to it.

[johnhughthom]

I had a feeling I wouldn't get the sign ups for this game, there have been an awful lot of new games recently and if I'm honest I probably wouldn't have time for this myself. Thanks for everyone who signed up and expressed interest, especially you Secura, your effort was much appreciated. I think it may be best to call a day on this.

Wah, that sucks... I hope you reconsider at some point, and hope the rest of the Gameroom wakes up and puts their name down when the time comes. :<
