Game list cleanup, again!  
Once again, a very important post! Please read and leave a comment, mods.

I'd like all of our active (or temporarily inactive) mods to comment here, giving me information on the following two things:



One
Which games are you currently responsible for? Please list the names, frequency (weekly/biweekly) and the day you post them on. If you'd like to change the day or frequency, tell me as well!
And please check the gdocs schedule and fix any wrong info about your games.

Two
Would you like to:
- keep your games with no changes?
- drop some of your games?
- take up some of the games that haven't been posted in a while, or those that someone else wants to drop?
- start a new game?
- or any combination of those

I'll list all the mods who answer below:

I've been meaning to get back on the ball with Spare Parts and Directions, but I've felt a little stuck on the latter for a while. I want to keep it going, though. Any advice on this?
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 06:31 pm (UTC)
so, you need directions on how to post Directions? /shot

now being serious
If you're not feeling too comfortable, maybe change the game to biweekly? Or make some changes with hosts/rules to feel more fresh with it.

What days do you want to post those two on?
Jen[personal profile] preternatural on October 10th, 2015 06:34 pm (UTC)
/facepalm

BUT NO seriously, I think going biweekly on Wednesdays with Directions and changing a couple of things will help. I'll keep Spare Parts on Sundays, starting up again tomorrow.
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 06:44 pm (UTC)
Okay! I added you to the list of active mods.

Please check the schedule and put your games where they should be if they aren't there yet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIx7n_rDVtJwji0zpbscODW2FyrAnU-RkKy1UPxaS9M/edit#gid=1
Jen[personal profile] preternatural on October 10th, 2015 07:19 pm (UTC)
Got it. Also, no changes needed to Beauty Pageant; I'll put up a new round this week.
aru: kill la kill ✽ senketsu&ryuko[personal profile] magaru on October 10th, 2015 08:14 pm (UTC)
Combo Breaker - weekly, Thursday
Hi-5 Radio - weekly, Sunday (moved it in the sheet)

Keeping both no change, would love to tak up another one from the dropped ones and start the specials game we talked about

EDIT: i would love to pick scramble if nobody is currently doing it!

nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 09:27 pm (UTC)
go on and take scramble, please add it and the specials game to the gdocs schedule and tell me the days/frequency for both
sammich[personal profile] estamir on October 10th, 2015 08:22 pm (UTC)
Amusingly, last night I was JUST wondering when we'd see the next game cleanup post, since I have a new one I'd like to do, haha.

First, the old:
Guess the Color - weekly, Monday
Clues - weekly, Thursday
Coloring Book - biweekly, Tuesday

No change for these.

What I'd like to do for a new one is a game that lets you turn in a couple of cards and receive ones with a different number from the same deck. I realize it's possible to do that with Remodeling Lab, kinda, but it still feels different enough to me since Remodeling Lab does a lot else besides and I rarely see people pick what they submit JUST to get different numbers from a single deck. Also, I'm looking at this being a straight-up switch rather than something with a net gain - more "change this existing card" instead of "turn in cards to get new ones within certain parameters."

Also, this one would be a lot less labor intensive - Remodeling Lab is a lot of work and so tends to come in and out as people have time and energy for it; I think this would have a lot more likelihood to stay regular since it'd be much simpler. And given how many of us have big trade piles with parts that get no turnover, I don't think having another place to change out some of the deadweight into new things people might want more is ever a bad thing, really.

I was thinking it'd be weekly, and a player could submit up to two cards to change the numbers on (it's 1-1, so submit 2 and get 2 back), but if you think doing it differently would be better for game balance that can certainly change. :|a

nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 09:31 pm (UTC)
Remodeling Lab has been inactive for months, maybe take it, slightly change the name, get a new host and a new set of rules? It'd be a new game under the same tag.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIx7n_rDVtJwji0zpbscODW2FyrAnU-RkKy1UPxaS9M/edit#gid=1
Please check if everything is correct in the schedule!
sammich[personal profile] estamir on October 10th, 2015 09:36 pm (UTC)
Well, it'd be losing a lot from Remodeling Lab if I did it this way, is the thing. Because there you could also be turning things in to get a card from a deckname within a specific range, a color within a specific range, a number within a specific range...I was just looking to do a number changer because some decks I always see the same cards over and over in trade piles from, so I think it'd be nice to have a way to change some of them into the ones that never seem to show up.

And the thing I'd worry about if it were taking over/changing remodeling lab is that if anyone else wanted to actually take over the parts of that game I'd be losing, I don't want to remove that option from anyone else. But there's no way I've got the energy to actually run the parts of it that require all that work with the full decklist to figure out what a specific combination of cards gets you. :|a
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 09:42 pm (UTC)
Okay, you can make it a new game then! just comment when you have the name/day/frequency and I will make a tag for you
sammich[personal profile] estamir on October 10th, 2015 09:45 pm (UTC)
SWEET. Like, if you'd rather have it replace Remodeling I wouldn't mind, but every now and then someone does want to take that one for a bit so I don't want to block anyone out of it!

I was thinking of calling it Swap Station. Names are hard, if you have cooler ideas I'd be happy for them. I was thinking weekly, and...well, Sunday would be nice since I usually don't have work, but we seem to have a lot of weekly Sunday games, so Saturday would be fine and seems lacking in them.

I think it should be pretty easy to get it up and running today, even!
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 10:04 pm (UTC)
okay, weekly Saturday it is then! just add it to the schedule, I'll make a tag soon
sammich[personal profile] estamir on October 10th, 2015 10:06 pm (UTC)
Added it, and I will get it rolling tonight! o/
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 11:12 pm (UTC)
tag is up!
sammich[personal profile] estamir on October 10th, 2015 11:44 pm (UTC)
Thank you! WE'RE RUNNING. \o/
sammich[personal profile] estamir on October 10th, 2015 09:37 pm (UTC)
MY STUFF IS CORRECT IN THE SCHEDULE sorry, I forgot to add that part
move to the future: LIGHTNING ღ that's a thing.[personal profile] advancing on October 10th, 2015 08:42 pm (UTC)
I currently have Rolling Down the UMN, Puzzles, Continue the Story and Lucky Draw. I gave Art Lessons back to Sky and handed over Crosswords to AL. Admittedly, I've been going through a bad bout of depression as well as having little to no energy for a lot of things and I'm gonna bring this up to my psychiatrist and social worker when I see them next.

I can let go of Continue the Story so that I just have three games. Or, if you'd prefer since it's been a while that they were posted, I can let them all go to people that would keep them consistent. c: I feel bad that I haven't posted my games in months jkfdlz
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 09:35 pm (UTC)
Don't worry, we understand. Depression is a horrible thing, I know :(

If you wish to keep UMN, Puzzles and Lucky Draw it's fine! just tell me their days and frequencies, and see if everything is okay in the schedule

nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on November 23rd, 2015 04:43 pm (UTC)
Hello again! I will be writing a hiring post looking for new mods, would you like me to add your games to the list of available ones or will you be keeping them?
move to the future: CELESTIA ღ in the pyre.[personal profile] advancing on November 23rd, 2015 05:14 pm (UTC)
oh gosh I forgot all about this @_@

Um, I'll definitely be adding them since I don't want to give them up! Today's one of my good days, so I'll do my best to post a game!
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on November 23rd, 2015 05:28 pm (UTC)
Okay, good luck with your games!
Nikita: Thorderp[personal profile] canute on October 10th, 2015 10:53 pm (UTC)
I have been hella inconsistent this last month, but things will finally settle down after this weekend and I can get back to posting regularly~

My current games are:
Acrostic Trading Post (weekly, Monday)
Trashkawa's Fan Mail (weekly, Monday)
Silly Blanks (weekly, Tuesday)
Switch It Up (biweekly, Tuesday)
Reading Between the Lines (weekly, Wednesday)

I also have that nonogram game that will happen soon, and it will be monthly~

I am keeping all the games and not making any changes! As for other games, if nobody is interested in Shadow Watching, I think I'd like to take it on! But if someone else really wants it then I don't mind, I have plenty other games after all. :P
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 10th, 2015 11:22 pm (UTC)
Okay!

1. Shadow Watching is yours! Please tell me when and how often do you want to post it.
2. What's the name of the nonogram game?
3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIx7n_rDVtJwji0zpbscODW2FyrAnU-RkKy1UPxaS9M/edit#gid=1 please check the schedule and fix any info about your games that is outdated!
Nikita: Takeda omg[personal profile] canute on October 16th, 2015 05:14 am (UTC)
1. I'll post it weekly on Wednesdays!
2. I'm calling it Pixel Perfect, but tagging it as "nonograms" is sufficient. I know you said you created a tag some time ago and I was able to find it then, but I can't find it anymore... Hrrrmmm
3. I have reviewed and updated the schedule /o/
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 16th, 2015 11:56 am (UTC)
The tag isn't visible on the list because it was never used yet but you should be able to use it when you post your game. If not, please let me know.
Sky: kyouki 'o'[personal profile] skybuns on October 11th, 2015 02:31 am (UTC)
Let's see... I think I have

Help Miss Kamila (Friday, weekly)
Ibuki's Songs (Friday, biweekly)
Art Lessons (It's listed as Wednesday but could I move it to Friday for my own convenience? also weekly)

I haven't been sure if I should or should not combine Art Lessons with Help Miss Kamila because they're very similar...
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 11th, 2015 03:09 am (UTC)
Feel free to make any changes you need, combining games is also fine, just tell me if you decide to do that.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIx7n_rDVtJwji0zpbscODW2FyrAnU-RkKy1UPxaS9M/edit#gid=1
Please check the schedule and update the info about your games!
Hijiri: Orefuro :: Wakasa[personal profile] ixionesis on October 11th, 2015 06:44 pm (UTC)
First of all, I want to apologize the problems with my games and quietness. ;; I've been busy with school and other RL stuff but I'll definitely try to do my best from now on.

I would like to keep all of my current games (Pokeradar, Go Fish! and Colors Chat) and have decided to edit the days a little bit.

Pokeradar - Friday -> Tuesday
Go Fish! - Friday -> Saturday
Colors Chat - Friday -> Saturday (if possible, I would like to start posting this game bi-weekly as I've been heard that it was posted like this earlier)

I've been thinking to plan some new games for a while as well but I think it's better to think those more after Christmas and New Year.

nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 11th, 2015 09:07 pm (UTC)
no problem, feel free to make any changes you need!

just please update your games' info in the schedule:

Shiranna | AL: Kicks[personal profile] kuranosuke on October 12th, 2015 02:03 pm (UTC)
Current games:
A Challenger Appears (biweekly, Wednesday)
Costume Party (weekly, Wednesday)
Crosswords (biweekly, Sunday)

Currently inactive due to RL circumstances. Hiatusing all my games until I get my move sorted out (unless someone wants to temporarily run Costume Party, I don't mind). I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I'll reward the games once the current rounds end and all.

I kind of want to make a new game after all things have settled down. A version of my Anniversary game - the Monokuma Machine as a biweekly "You can put two cards/crayons in the machine per week" kinda thing.

Though I could also take care of a game (namely pick a color or graffiti) if they're left modless,

Edited 2015-10-12 02:04 pm (UTC)
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 12th, 2015 11:42 pm (UTC)
Sure, that's fine! Just put your games back on the schedule when you're ready to return.
Arianne[personal profile] phibby on October 13th, 2015 06:55 am (UTC)
Just got back in town so I'm late to the party!

Currently:
Seiyuu Guess (weekly, Saturday)

I wouldn't mind taking over some games if needed! I'm particularly interested in Host Club Giveaway and Music Station, but if Lita and Nea want to keep those that's fine, of course.
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 13th, 2015 02:56 pm (UTC)
Okay! I'll let you know if any of them want to get rid of their games.
☆彡 Nea[personal profile] secretambition on October 15th, 2015 09:22 pm (UTC)
*WAVES* I'm still here, I realize I've been way too quiet for a long time but serious depression from RL stuff just got worse when I thought I'd kick it away... And currently dealing with moving too, so uh, this isn't a good month at all.

But ummm, I'd still like to keep my games and kick back here once RL things get better.

Information Exchange on Mondays, biweekly
Music Station on Sundays, weekly

I'm really, really sorry for how quiet I've been. It's just really bad time in rl and has been for a while and I should have posted a hiatus/be on one right now, but -- I still want to continue posting them, later, when I can.
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on October 16th, 2015 01:45 am (UTC)
It's okay, we understand. Your games will be waiting for you.
☆彡 Nea: Love Live! ★ Sing with me[personal profile] secretambition on November 1st, 2015 06:37 pm (UTC)
I can still do November's pog though since i just realized this weekend that it's supposed to be my month now! It's almost done, could go up today or tomorrow~!
nidoking[personal profile] nidoking on November 2nd, 2015 12:02 am (UTC)
Okay!
