    For the Major Make-Over of the Forum Games Section we need to approve forum games and think of new ones.

    The first part of this process will take place in this thread (Stage 1). Here forum games will be suggested and if found appropiate a separate thread with poll will be made to decide if this particular game is accepted (Stage 2).

    We'll start with having everyone name as many forum games as possible with a short description, but keep in mind that all games have to be Game-Related or RPG-Stylish Games. Other games can be nominated but might be shot in discussion, but you can always try ;)

    Nominate the games like this:
    Code:
    These should be added/kept:
    [B]Game Name[/B] - [I]Short description[/I]
    [B]Game Name[/B] - [I]Short description[/I]
    [B]Game Name[/B] - [I]Short description[/I]
    Etc.
    New game ideas are welcome as well, add these in similar way as above.

    After collecting and listing the games you tell me I'll make a post (also in this thread) telling which 1-3 games (similar games will be up together to speed up the process) are up for discussion now like this:
    Code:
    Discuss about these games now:
    [B]Game Name[/B] - [I]Short description[/I]
    [B]Game Name[/B] - [I]Short description[/I]
    [B]Game Name[/B] - [I]Short description[/I]
    In the discussion say why this game should really be/should never be allowed.
    (During discussion you can still name games for the list, these will be added and later discussed too)


    Current Discussion:
    This group is already moved to next phase as they were designed for this make-over:

    I disagree with games being grandfathered in, especially in this way which learns towards saving those spammy games that people can post in crazy fast for plenty of points.

    That doesn't make complete sense either, then good games that aren't game-related, such as Mafia (which sputtered out because half the people who signed up didn't show up, still a good game though!) and such can't be put in the section.

    Games like good vs evil are standard forum games in every forum but it's not game-related so games like that will be closed?

    To answer you quinn, I forgot to add RPG-Style Games, which includes Games like Mafia :)

    Well, I'll have to talk about this with Ogreman, why don't you just tell me every game you think should stay and then we'll see in the discussion if it gets a chance?

    Let's start the first discussion.
    I made three groups of not-game-related games.
    Everyone can state their opinion.

    For these games the questions to be answered are:
    Should they stay?
    Are multiple of the same type worthwhile to keep?
    Should they be deleted?
    Or should they be kept but in a different, game-related form?

    These are the groups

    Group 1 (stories):
    3 Word Story game - Everyone posts 3 words to make a story
    The Endless Story of Nonsense - The name says it...
    ABC Story Game - Start a sentence with A then B etc

    Group 2 (questions):
    Have you ever - Ask a 'Have you ever...?' question and answer the last one
    Do you mind if I ....(Forum Game) - Ask a 'Do you mind if I...' question
    What if...Game - Ask an 'What if...?' question

    Group 3 (choices):
    This or that - This or that? Make your choice
    Sell It, Burn It, Eat it - Sell, burn, eat or throw a named item
    True/False - Guess if something is true or false
    Why do you like GameOgre? - Name...

    I have to say, I agree with you... I just want a reaction from Ogreman and I'll give people in favor of these games 1 day to prove they should stay

    wheel of doom 2 is the only thread of the wheels of doom still open, but it needs closed. Still open forum gamer threads don't technically need closed, but it prevents them making it front page for no reason.
    http://www.gameogre.com/forums/forum-games/19478-things-made-you-mad-today.html http://www.gameogre.com/forums/forum-games/19315-wish-granted-but-worse.html http://www.gameogre.com/forums/forum-games/19327-riddles.html and other games that are direct clones of games that were already closed need closed.
    To keep my post shorter, in response to kingsfields list, I don't see the need to save any of those, though if one had to stay endless story of nonsense or this or that. Though the story games were some of my favorite.

    As to the question of are multiple of the same type worthwhile to keep: not that I see. I know it was originally a point of contention when I was running the cleanup last time that if games of the same type were already established they should stay, though I provided the examples of true/false, agree/disagree, and yes/no being of the same type, and being used in exactly the same way (so much so that if someone wasn't paying attention they'd just use the same answer set among all three forum games).

    If I have time I'll write a list as well.
