Hey ya'll, I've had some stuff come up irl, so I won't be able to run the LG. Also if I could be marked inactive, because I don't imagine I will have any time to run a game for a long while. 

Sorry everyone for the long wait and then not delivering with the game.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Where am I on the list, I can run something if it starts after next Sunday, but I'll pass to anyone with a game ready .

Oof. Hope you get everything together!

 

I should be able to run the LG? Might be a bit interesting to see what school does this next week, but I’ve got a simplified Honorblade game I could do. I forget if I’m next in line though.

The LG just wrapped up, so here's the waitlist:

1. @Experience
2. @Ashbringer
3. @|TJ|
4. Ash again
5. @little wilson / @Elbereth

Followed by @Kasimir (anonymous), @StrikerEZ, Ash again, @The Unknown Aon, and @Lotus.

But Exp's game is the crazy one and he just Co-GMd, if I had to guess wilson/El and Kas won't take it, Striker just ran the LG (not to mention his slot being the KKC Radiant University), and Lotus is running the QF  So I'm thinking it'll be Ash, TJ, or TUA but it's not up to me.

Depends on @Ashbringer and @|TJ| - I'm not kayana enough to try two games at once and I'd rather focus on running my MR

Since you are next in line, you can send your rules to the committee + mods if you're prepared to run them.

[Archer he/him]

Gonna quote TJ's last QF GMing post and hope it's still accurate. Say, TJ, looks like you're first on the list anyway. :P.

My MR is winding up, so we need to see who can run the next QF - 

• Me - I need a break and I'm not running B2B games :P.
• @Illwei
• @Fifth Scholar
• @Szeth_Pancakes
• @Lotus

Rounding off the top 10 are - @xinoehp512, @The Unknown Aon, @Araris Valerian, @Matrim's Dice and @StrikerEZ. I'm also tagging @Elbereth if she wants to run a game as she's above me in the list. 

@Illwei passed last time, so I'll assume next on deck after TJ would be @Fifth Scholar. 

Edit: Illwei has passed. TJ has passed

Can I get on the list to run a game? It will last a couple weeks so I assume MR.

I have some really fun setups I'd love to bring to this community And I'll adapt them to give them stormlight flavour

This has been done. When you get a ruleset together, feel free to make a group PM of the mods and committee found in the first post of this thread. Either a Google doc link we can comment on or a text post of the rules will do, just don't discuss the actual distribution you plan on using.

Okay, thanks! I'll do that

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

I can ran a game if everyone else passes.

[|TJ| he/him]

Yeah, I'm passing.

I can't send it in today most likely, but I will probably finish working on it.

[Archer he/him]

okay who has an LG prepared that's very elim friendly 

The current LG list is @|TJ| (sorry I've pinged you a lot recently :P.), Ashbringer, who I'll assume won't be running this one, @Elbereth and Wilson, then @Kasimir. 

Currently working through the rules approval process with TUN. It seems likely that one will be approved in the next couple days, so if we don't hear from the people ahead of them in line by then, that'll be what gets run for the QF. @Fifth Scholar @Szeth_Pancakes @Lotus @xinoehp512

Have one prepared, not sure it's Elim friendly, but we'll see. Am okay with running it, waiting for approval.

I have a role that brings everyone back to life with new roles, and I'm not sure how to make it work well, and I kind of want to make it able to work well. It's generic name is Gravedigger. The first version of it I know of turns the Gravedigger into a conf. villager as soon as he does it, so I changed that. (he dies or is Lawyered.) However, there's still the problem of the once-dead once-Elims know all the other Elims. If I make them be resurrected with their same alignment all the once-dead Elims will just get killed immediately and that's no fun. If I tell them not to talk about their groupies that won't work well because it's hard to not be suspicious of folk you kinda know are evil. If I make the Elims just not know each other that fixes another role too, the one that switches people's roles (working generic name: Tavern keeper) but causes a host of problems (like Elims trying to kill other Elims.)

Is Gravedigger just not fixable? If it is fixable, please help?

I’m thinking the best solution is no/limited alignment flips on death.

Yeah, probably should have put "best" in quotes, since the same thing crossed my mind when I made the suggestion. But something like Miracle Max from the Princess Bride LG seems to maybe fit the bill; flips/entering the dead doc are delayed by a cycle during which the player can be brought back to life. And that one also seems less likely to induce player insanity.

Partly I think. I remember vowing to grinch Endowment in LG29 if they kept resurrecting our grinch targets. Not saying this isn't a more palatable situation but it does have its trade-offs, which are player-based.

Edited to add: I say this with all awareness that I am working on a game with no perma-death so.

You could always run one . Steeldancer ran that one, and I think it was fairly balanced, so it could see a rerun, especially with the relaxing of the non-Sanderson game rules. He's fairly busy now, and looks like his game slots are full of other ideas, so it would probably be on someone else to do it.

I would suck at running a game. too much work for someone who spends too much time on TLT and minecraft.
