Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
Alright gang, we're ready for the polling process to build our next full game queue.
You may select any four options among those included in the poll. The three with the most votes will be guaranteed inclusion in the queue. The game submitted by a member who has never hosted a full game which earns the most votes will also be included for a total queue of four games. It is possible that this will simply be the top four, but not necessarily. The games are listed in alphabetical order by host username both in the poll and in the list of links below:
DFaraday - Arrowverse Mafia
Dragon D. Luffy - Girl Genius
Epignosis & Elohcin - The Walking Dead
JaggedJimmyJay - Ancient Greece
Long Con & Black Rock - Mafia: A World Asunder
MacDougall - U-Pick Anything 2
nutella - Saga
rabbit8 - Carnival of Souls: Call of the Zombie
Roxy - Grimm Fairy Tales Part II
Spacedaisy and MovingPictures07 - Firefly
speedchuck - Retrocausality Mafia
NOTE: If you have a game included in this poll which does not end up being selected, please do not take it personally. I know that if we only had the time, we would love to play all of these games if we could. Our limitations mean that only some of these will proceed into the queue, but the prospective hosts of the other games are still valued and appreciated for their submissions. There will be more opportunities to try again, and be mindful as well that slight tweaks can make any game work as a side mission where there is no queuing poll.
The poll will last one week starting the moment I submit this post. In the event of a tie, priority will go to the game which was submitted first. If you have questions, concerns, or comments, feel free to post them in the thread. I'm looking forward to seeing the new queue.

Probably less since we are running two jobs at a time currently.

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
That’s a rough projection, yes. It’s difficult to know how long it will really take; it could be more or less. The next poll will occur as the last of the four is in sign-ups.

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
Edit (8:15pm):
I deleted the post that I placed here earlier in the day. I just read through another thread that I was not up to date on. I realize that the timing of my former post lined up with rising tensions elsewhere. I was ignorant to those developments and realize how my prior post might have seemed any number of things- disrespectful, antagonistic, and/or generally antithetical to the sense of community strived for on this site- if it was assumed by any readers that I was aware of other events occurring at or around the same time.
I have not spoken my final words on CC123 yet, but I sincerely hope that its legacy is not destined to be as dunya describes it.

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
oh boy, [mention]G-Man[/mention], I hope you realize my post here was entirely tongue-in-cheek about the wackiness of the game (as was your response, I gathered), and had no relation to what was happening in the other thread at all (and I made my stance about that pretty clear over there). I appreciate you as a host and respect your efforts very much!

I think we're all in agreement that your presence in this community is incredibly valued, G-Man, and that CC123 for all of its experimentation was a well-run game that served the community well with a unique brand of chaotic mafia fun for a few months.

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
Otherwise, I just want to express how pleased I am at the submissions for this queue. These are really incredible-looking games, everyone! Pretty much impossible to vote, but I tried anyway. I'm sure even those that don't make the cut this time will be seeing the light of day sooner rather than later, because these all look like they'll be an absolute blast. I feel so fortunate that we have so many talented and creative hosts around here!

G-Man, despite some kinks in your game, I doubt there is one member here who doesn't think that you are the F'ing Man. In case that wasn't clear.

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
[mention]dunya[/mention] I assumed it was a joke initially and I still did before your elaboration. Thanks for the clarifying comment though. I just felt strongly that I needed to edit my post in light of where it fell in the timeline of things.
To everyone else in general- you don’t need to defend me or my game against anyone or anything. I’m a big boy and can shake it off. I’m no angel either, so no need to circle the proverbial wagons on my behalf. I’m just one creative but flawed person in a sea of creative but flawed people in this community. I don’t view myself as any more or less valuable or vital than any of you. Heck, I don’t even play that often, so I really don’t belong on any pedestals.
Just keep swimming...

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
Totally agree. Your game was all I had to hang onto during some very dark days (and very strong pain medication). I loved my btsc role and felt like I did some good for my team. Your games are always awesome and I will play them whenever I can.

Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

Hearing there will be two jobs running at once brings me happiness, because even with not all games getting in it shouldn't take THAT long for them to from now on.MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2018 1:30 pm Otherwise, I just want to express how pleased I am at the submissions for this queue.

I think I can... err... find enough opposition to this bandwagon

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
Something I failed to mention in the first post:
Members who host a game during this queue of four will be ineligible to host during the next queue (unless there are too few submissions overall).

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
Okay everyone, the poll has expired. By popular vote (literally, without needing to adjust for a new host), the next full game queue will be comprised of these four games:
JaggedJimmyJay - Ancient Greece
[mention]MacDougall[/mention] - U-Pick Anything 2
[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] - Firefly
[mention]speedchuck[/mention] - Retrocausality
Thank you very much to everyone who voted, and thank you even more to those who submitted games. If your game wasn't selected, please don't feel down about it! All of these games look so fantastic and would be well worth playing if only time would permit. There will be another opportunity when this queue ends to try again, or if you prefer not wait you could also consider adapting to a side mission. You're all valued here, and it's clear in the voting. Every single game received a solid number of votes, and it was a contentious poll.
The four hosts of these games will convene privately to determine what order of play is best for everyone. Stay tuned!

Wow I unvonted world asunder near the end because I thought it didn't need my vote so I wanted to help another game.
Crazy night, even got two new votes myself. Some people waited till the last minute to vote
I thank all the people who voted for my game. See you next queue!

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
I actually had intended to change my vote towards the end of the poll but I got completely slammed.
For the record, Alex will not be cohosting my game with me. He's going to be cohosting with Marmot in the next queue instead. I will be going solo this time it seems. Been a while since I did all the tracking fir myself, lol.

Re: Full game queuing poll - Feb 2018
I'm personally glad ours didn't make the cut. Wednesday I agreed to take a THIRD at-home student (i.e., a student who is medically unable to be in class), and as it turns out the address I was given was wrong, so I have to go out of the way...
...and then Thursday I was asked to teach an additional class for a teacher who is out because of surgery.
I have no idea how I am going to manage these next fourteen weeks.

Wow, what a crazy poll! So many amazing games and such a dynamic and close result.
Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who voted!
To those who didn’t make it this time, I am confident we will be seeing your games again real soon, especially at our current pace. Thanks for submitting.

Yeah, I wouldn’t have been doing much; it’s 100% Daisy’s game. But I’m also too busy right now to even not be doing much.Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 9:45 am I actually had intended to change my vote towards the end of the poll but I got completely slammed.

I’ll be giving a Daisy my tracking spreadsheet and she is being modest; I am sure she can handle it.
