If I remember correctly from the internal discussions we had before implementing the calendar system, the idea was to combat precisely what was happening now: Games that dragged wouldn't hold up the queue. I believe we reasoned that the games that leaked over into the next month would either be near completion or suspended by the mods/host because of inactivity. This would allow new games to continue to run while preventing stagnation (for example, imagine how bad the holdup would have been if there were no calendar - we'd still be on Pizza's and classical's games).
Furthermore, a lot of times, hosts only have a limited time window in which they can host their games before RL becomes too much of a crush or something. Without a calendar, you'd basically have to do a lot of rough guesswork and just pray that it's your turn to host when you actually have enough time to devote to the game. A calendar allows for more precision in this regard.
Oh hey, post 9,999.
Please take my game off. Clearly, there is very little interest in the Three Wolf Moon concept.

My dear Askthepizzaguy, there is a free spot for a Large Mafia Game in December, I'd like to book it for El Barto's Vanilla Mafia, a rather simple affair. Large game, I'll adjust roles depending on the amount of players I can get. I promise no jesters.
Note: I cannot in any way move it forward, December's as early as I can host it, due to exams and other RL schtuff.

Which one, Zack? The small game, the large game, or both?

Dude, I'll add you to that queue so fast you'll wish you never met ATPG.
Both.
It's been a while. Put me on the queue for a large game. "The Palace".
January should work just fine.
If possible, could you move my large game to February, and chuck a small game on the queue (will host in a few weeks, anyone else can go before me), called 'The Expedition', based on Skyrim.

For that matter, my large game will have to be postponed indefinitely.

Which expedition? Perhaps... The Saarthal Expedition!?!?
I'm afraid to ask... But what is Skyrim?
EDT: Ok, in fact I can google that :)

You signed up for a computer gaming forum
because you play that computer game, and yet you have never heard of Halo, Skyrim, or the Legend of Zelda. How the hell is that possible?

Not the Saarthal Expedition. It is based in the same timeframe as the game though. It will have Draugr, Vampires, Daedric influences, etc, and a couple of interesting mechanics I would like to test out.

Sign me up for a small mafia and a large mafia, whenever a slot opens up.
There are no small games in the queue, and I won't be hosting for a few weeks yet, so start em up.

The next Large game is Ignoramus and his game, and Jarema needs players for his game.
As such, I won't be hosting yet.
If and when Jarema and Ignoramus have enough players for their games, I will begin a small mafia.

I am versed with strategy games, and with OLD rpg games - the newest one I played was Baldur's Gate.
I play mostly civilization, heroes of might and magic, age of wanders, europe universalis, panzer general series, master of Orion, total war, Fallout tactics, and more more more. So, my knowledge of computer games is
biased.
Ignoramus 13:36 11-10-2012
I'd like to request the June '13 spot to host a Huge mafia game - "Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table". Have some good ideas if I can get the players (would advertise well in advance).
Ig.
Can you put me in the small game queue with 'Chemistry Mafia' please? Hopefully the gameroom can get some more players in so that we can actually play all of these games...
If we still need to use the official format:
Elite Ferret - Chemistry Mafia - Whenever's next free

Circumstances have changed since then. I'm withdrawing this.
I will gladly host something small
Jarema - Guess Your Role II (Madness Strikes Back) - Whenever possible
I'm thinking of taking the second January slot for a large game, since exams are over and I have some free time.
As long as nobody objects/wants it.
@
Visorslash, since his game is the first February slot and I wouldn't want to delay it much if it's a problem.
Go ahead. I won't be hosting a large game until June at the earliest.
I'll remove you from the queue, then?
El Barto 17:28 01-26-2013
I think I'll have a game up for March or April -subject to confirmation.

Small (non)Mafia Game - The Resistance! (2)
Put me up for a large one, in May 2013. Title still to be decided.

You don't have to sign up for non-mafia, Lazy, just shoot one of us a PM and we'll give you the go-ahead.
You can start sign-ups for this one whenever.

But its just so similar! see
this post - I appreciate the go-ahead though, but I wanted to double check first because I'll run it with either 8, 9 or 10 players.
Askthepizzaguy 07:23 03-11-2013
Askthepizzaguy's schedule is calming down (barely) and he is interested in hosting a large or small game in the next available slot.
