    Yes and no.

    I agree with the premise of moving the TW under one section, then being able to drill down further. I dont agree with the mockup of having the MTW and M2TW (stw and s2tw as well) under the same link.

    Mega gameroom: no

    Guides: yes

    new category for bunch: i dont think so, not really

    apothocary and H&SW, yeah.

    Can easily keep that separate. I mainly did it because they were not the most active sections.

    Mega gameroom: no
    Why do you dislike this idea? Having the forum style games in the Gameroom, perhaps in a subforum would keep the player base concentrated. It is silly in a way having different gameroom-style things spread across the forum, as it requires members to check multiple sections opposed to just one, which limits the amount of players participating.

    That was a suggestion for people wanting different games covered on the forum. (the new 'arena' part)

    However, I think rearranging a few of the forums such as entrance hall, and making Frontroom, Gameroom and Backroom more dominant would be a good step forward. Many people just have "Tavern" as their link address as they don't even have an interest in the other sections of the forum, and those three sections are the most active on the forum. It is silly in a way they are so sidelined, especially as new members want to see the activity to join in. Activity breeds activity.

    I played in KOTR and LOTR, both very briefly. How many other gameroom players have? Most mafia players do not play TW, so that rules out basically everything in the throne room.

    The IH games I have no interest in and never will. They are different types of things.

    I meant the second part of your post. Some rearranging, yes, the example you gave, no.

    The Gameroom is a Gameroom, it isn't just mafia.

    IH games interest me, but I don't see that forum regularly enough since it is on the otherhand of the forum basically. People from the Gameroom might want to participant in IH and vice-versus, or even in Throne-room games (I see suggestions for them before).

    So having them as subsections of the gameroom would generate far more interest for IH, Mafia, Throneroom, etc. Everyone benefits.

    'The Gameroom' is mafia. It has some other games in it, but they are infrequent. It was created for mafia, and it has hosted mafia.

    Just a note: well, if you think the era suggestion as unacceptable then it's OK. A certain type of games are just fine then, I think.

    However, it might be better to debate only one game for now. IMHO, this would be a long process and adding an extra single non-TW game (for now) as an experiment would be the first step.

    And yes, I am the Org. needs some subforum merging. Like STW and MTW in a single section; RTW, MTW2 and Napoleon in another one (with different subforums each). That's just an example. I have not been a regular visitor there and don't know what exactly is going on there.

    I agree that the page with all the forums really has to be condensed. How will new people find the Tavern where much of the activity is? They'll just glance at the date of posts in the TW section and think this is a dead site.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
