I think the background has made you lose some of the layering

Kit, noted. I was looking back at that thread as well, drawing inspiration. Roachi and I are actually put our theme on the thread, Tanabata. My games will be kind of modeled after different elements of Tanabata.

I really really enjoy something creative queenie, and something chancy.
I dont like the big prize being on the 'quote the candy' type things, as its not fair to people with slower net speed.
I do enjoy the posting prizes, really encourages me to come out of my shell and actually talk.
There will be a big prize, specifically the Golden Decorative Stockings, with prizes for second and third place. Only seems right to have those other prizes since not everyone can get the big one.

Won't be doing the quote game, never been very good with that. However, there will be daily games to participate in for points, posting will naturally count towards your over all points/ Basically, you could win the prize just by being active in the thread, which is how I would like to give away prizes always. Participation is key to your success.

Might do some more dice games, nothing outrageous though.
Possibly a get to the other side of the Milky Way game... not sure what else.

Queenie:: Oh that sounds really cool! I'm excited for it.

Hey so, if everyone wants to join me in collectively hoping that my mom and brother get here safely tomorrow. They're driving here from Missouri so I can see my Nana before she passes away. But they're having a difficult time getting the car ready. Like, the tags are up, because TIMING, and they don't have the title for the new car because the dealership is incompetent. She's never driven out here and I'm super stressed out.

Queen_Andais: is there a way you can stop spam and encourage conversation, because thats the only downside I find.
People just spam meaningless stuff like *eats cookie* to get their count up. And its frustrating because I'm there to support you and roro but also create actually bonds and conversations.

maybe implement a word minimum for each post? just a suggestion :D like instead of three words minimum, make it like...ten? I don't know, anything to encourage people to write out longer sentences -nods-

I think we're all guilty of it from time to time, but in events it can be really bad.
I want to get to know you guys, you can give me a cookie, but also I'd love to know about you :)

Some of us like to get to know people with deep and thoughtful posts. Others of us just want to say something people will like. There's a thing in astrology for that.

But whats the point if you're not contributing to the conversation? It's kinda irksome?

Even if its 'yeah I agree' or 'i dont know about that'
its still a contribution :)

The goal is for people to enjoy the post. It's like fishing for likes. They laugh, give you a like, and scroll on, and that's all you need.

Always so annoying when things like that cascade together to create a shit storm of unfortunate hurdles to deal with just so one thing can transpire. I will put it out in the universe that they should get there in a timely manner with no interruptions or further shenanigans to interfere with said travels.

Yes there will be a post minimum required for participating, along with stipulations that posts should be relevant to the conversation taking place within the thread at that time. Now, that it isn't to say that you can't bring up a new topic, or resurrect an old topic, simply that you should probably start off within the current conversation and segue into the new topic.

There will also be the no sniping rule for the last poster. Never fails that people will join in the last ten or fifteen minutes of the event trying to get the last poster prize. If you are not one of the people chatting in the thread a half hour prior to the close of the event, should you get the last post in the thread it will not count. Not fair to those people that have frequented the thread throughout the entire event only to have the prize claimed by someone who happened to read the front page and realize there is a last poster prize.

I've also upped the top poster prizes as well, not just gold but a CI to go with it. Extra incentive for better participation. Or so I hope.

Salvete, that has been a rule in the past for other games in threads I've run and it will most likely be applied here.

Along with the requirement that you kindly refrain from entering the thread with a bodily function. Not everyone likes that kind of stuff and it can steer others away from wanting to post or participate in the thread. Trying to make this a friendly place for everyone to enjoy during the event.

Sometimes you are, other times you have keyboard diarrhea, which happens to us all, no judgment from anyone here.

Easty is right, events are a time to catch up with people you've known for awhile and to make new friends. Hard to do when they post three or four words of meaningless fluff about arbitrary things.

Perhaps we should find the middle ground. Know your audience, best way is to observe their posting patterns. Some, like myself, can do walls of text or simple short posts. Just depends on the situation. Walls of text do not scare me and I am fine with reading through them and getting to know the person. However, not all Menewshans like the walls of text that Emma Corrin and I have been known to produce. Just gotta find that middle ground that works for all involved.

Work does appear to be a little slower today... so far that is. Which should give me ample time to plan games out.

When I'm not going for a likable post, how much I say depends on how much I want to say and how much I think others will be willing to read. I try to keep the post from having a serious tone, too. I am not meant to be a serious chick.
