Cupid and I are in talks about starting a game together.
It may possibly postpone Big Brother 11 to a later date

Are we ever going to get updated rules for the Games section? Will it come with the update @Matty


Tbh I think we need a rule about album reservations, I've been wanting to do an album survivor for months but every time an album comes out I like, somebody's already reserved it (the same people reserve like 3 albums at a time), there should be a limit on how many album survivors you can reserve at a time, to give more people a chance.

Ugh, I need to get on that.

How about this, regular Games section people who actually care, take a look at the Games section rules and tell me what you like or dislike. What all do you want to see changed for the better in this section.

I'll see what the people say and figure up something to reviewed for the other moderators.

***Obviously, don't try to post stupid suggestions like make this section not warnable or allow for Dirty Talk to be in Games. That **** won't fly.

Well like I said, my album survivor idea. Maybe put a limit on how many album survivors people can reserve, to give more people a chance. (You can always say if nobody claims the survivor after a week or something then it can be claimed by someone with more than 1 reservation)

Maybe add in some sort of rule about copying / stealing tournaments, I know there's been a lot of fuss over this like the Slashes/ANOA debate in HQ.

And yes BB11 is delayed slightly, me and Matty are working on something very cool, coming soon.

Funny enough, the "What's ON ATRLers Mind" vs. "Family Feud" came up today at the member awards....

Also can we start the conversation around abandoned tournaments? From tournaments like The Apprentice to MCs like itunes UK, I think we should think of a system so that way if a member who is "in charge" of a series of tournaments or MCs goes MIA, someone can revive the game without the concern of "did you ask ____ permission?"

That sounds like a good idea. Or maybe they send that member a PM and if they receive no reply in ___ amount of time, then the game counts as abandoned or something. There's a lot of great games which have been left in 2012/2013 etc

All I can think of is...

Remove these:
1. "Whether it's an album survivor or any kind of other game, if you have more than one game going at once in the main Games area, the additional ones will be closed." - This has been there forever and let's be real, people haven't followed that for years. Which is a good thing, because it's not really necessary in the first place (plus the mods don't even look after that anymore.)
2. "Don't bump your threads unnecessarily." - Same reasoning. Sometimes games get pushed to the bottom of the first page or even to the second. People in this section kind of have a habit of only paying attention to the upper half of the first page.

Add these:
1. Like Cupid said, definitely limit how many reservations someone can do. There are a few people that take up a loooot of the big releases, which are usually the most popular types when they already have other ones reserved and/or are already hosting some. I'd say that 2 at a time is probably best, as 1 is a bit too restricting and the reservations will start flooding up once more dates get announced.
2. This isn't really a priority but I'd like to see tournaments get closed a few weeks after they're completely finished. Like once a season is done and they're not planning to use that thread anymore for additional seasons, other tasks and games, whatever else, then there's really no point on keeping it open just to bump or add in some relatively unnecessary conversations. Kind of like how album threads in Music News get closed a few months after release.

Yeah, true. That can be pretty much added onto this:

You cannot duplicate a survivor that has already been done.
Survivors for singles and videos are not the same, but any other duplicates will not be tolerated, not even "deluxe" or "international" editions of albums that have already been done. However, re-releases are allowed.

This sounds good as well.

YES, pls. Abandoned tournaments should definitely have some management, but I think it's disrespectful to be able to take a game that last happened in like, 2013, without consent. Thing is, there's no way to prove you never received a response from the originator unless their activity is visible and they haven't logged on since before you reboot it. Maybe inquire whoever's in charge first and if there's no response in say, two weeks, ask a mod?

@Matty Can/should this thread get one of those prefixes?

We will see. It's just not as easy to take over a game if the original host is nowhere to be found.

[Tymps.]

Only one game per person at a time.
Whether it's an album survivor or any kind of other game, if you have more than one game going at once in the main Games area, the additional ones will be closed. Personal survivors are the only ones that do not count.

This should be taken out because no one follows it and it's not enforced. One Tournament at a time, maybe, even though no one tries to do two of those anyhow.

[Tymps.]

Also I totally love doing this to troll but I don't think you should be allowed to reopen threads in Games even if they were closed by a mod. Like, imagine if musicfan09 discovered that when he used to post a game a day.

Someone make ATRL Hogwarts S2. I need redemption. Where is Staryu/Starmie ??

Legit yassssssssssssssssss

I've been waiting for this to come back. It was such a massive game with amazing challenges and everything. I was hoping someone qualified would take it and you definitely fit tha bill.
