The Syndicate

The sign ups are open in the micro thread

I know, right? Well MM will be putting up signups tonight or tomorrow for a game to be run here in the Micro Forum on the Sunday before Halloween, 10/26.

I know there is a way to turn the post review ("linkitis") off so I will try to figure that one out. If not, though, the linki may or may not be that bad. Then we can experiment and play a game in chat, and maybe another in IRC.

Nah, we were thinking thread based first, then maybe try chatango and maybe irc. We'll see how it goes; this is informal. Like being a kid with a basketball, knocking on neighborhood kids' doors, "Wanna shoot some hoops?". If one game works out, it may be something to do on a boring winter afternoon.

Actually, we can try several games in all formats, see what works best~ at the ASOIAF wiki, they have informal pick up games often, although they play in an IM thread format. Which required downloading, etc. Not optimum.

MM & I were thinking of making the first one onsite, and seeing how that works.

OK, then I guess you have limited our options. Go you~!

Some people have issues with chat, and I have played a game like this in thread, and it was annoying iirc. But we will work it out. If only some people can play in one format, we can have more than one game. That might be a good idea anyhow, so we can see what works best.

Thanks Juliets <3 That's awesome

So vote yes, it is not a committment, just to give us an idea of interest.

There is also the option of borrowing someones IRC channel for this.

That can be determined. When I played a game like this it was on a chatboard, and yeah, the linkitis function could make it hard to follow in a board setting.

Hopefully we can get the kinks out in time for the wedding, so it runs even more smoothly

Linki, for the time frame we have 10 or less would be best, but linki still might be a problem in a real time environment.

Metalmarsh is looking to host a quick game, a game that lasts less than a real time day. Less than 10 players, hour long days, 15 minute nights, something along those lines.

It could be set up on a Holiday, or on any given Sunday. If it works out, we can set up other "pick up" games in the future.

If this would interest enough people, we can then start discussing a date for it.
