Are any of you prepared to run a game and have a ruleset ready to be sent to the committee and mods?

If I gets down to me, I've got my variable rollover time game ready to go. I sent it to the committee a while ago, but I don't think it got officially approved 

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Hard pass, I should probably send rules in for pre-approval, but I can't GM right now.

KKC is being pushed back so the remaining LG list is

@Ashbringer
@Kasimir
@Random Bystander
@The Unknown Novel
@Araris Valerian

Are any of you able to run an LG?

[Ashbringer he/him]

I’d rather not run one back-to-back, but I have a ruleset I could do if I needed to.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I have a couple ideas that I haven't actually written rules for; a Tyrian adjacent game with modified Soothers and Rioters (so there is no vote manip), and a conversion game where villagers can choose to die rather than get converted. If nobody before me can run a game, I could try and pin down the details on either.

[Devotary of Spontaneity]

Ash and Kas prefer not to, so it will be @Araris Valerian unless @Random Bystander or @The Unknown Novel have a ruleset ready.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

I'm staying with what a said previously, go ahead Araris.

[Mat he/him]

Here’s the QF list:

1. @Illwei
2. @Fifth Scholar
3. @Szeth_Pancakes
4. @Araris Valerian
5. Me

I’m assuming Araris doesn’t want to run two games at once, and I haven’t seen Szeth in a while (looks like their last log-on was in March) but idk on Illwei/Fifth. Happy to do it if no one above me wants to.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Yeah, I will pass on the QF until my LG is over.

[Mat he/him]

Considering it’s been a week, I’ll send rules to the committee unless something else is already happening.

[Devotary of Spontaneity]

The break tank list is

@Ashbringer
@Tani
@Matrim's Dice
@Kasimir

Ashbringer is currently scheduled to run the next LG. Mat has indicated a willingness to run his break tank after his upcoming QF concludes if both Ashbringer and Tani pass.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

I would like to sign up for a Break Tank, and the rules will just be ToS rules to see how SEers react to such a claim and clear heavy ruleset  

[Ashbringer he/him]

I'm willing to run the LG but I need my rules approved. Don't think I can run the BT immediately after/during that though.

What's the easiest kind of game to GM? Anyone interested in co-GMing?

I’d say doing either a LG or MR would be easiest, since QF games move really fast. In regards to rules, I would say doing a rerun of a past game, or doing a simple twist on standard mafia rules would be ideal for your first game.

As a bit of a warning, the list for LGs is quite long, so you probably want to sign up sooner rather than later.

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

Ok, I'll put myself on the MR and LG lists!

To be honest, if you take out the repeats, and the inactive/busy people, it's quite a bit shorter than I expected and the problem carries through the MR and QF lists as well. A lot of the volume comes from repeat sign-ups, e.g. I have four entries, TUN has two, you have two, Ash has two, Steel has two, but functionally these GMs are often not going to be running back to back games. Then there's one-offs from people who haven't shown up in a long time but haven't been formally marked inactive, e.g. Randby, Karn, Tani.

Am leaving this one to someone who knows BT rules

Yes. You have one entry each.

Alright, checked and getting back:

Basically, the idea of testing a ruleset focused around claims/clears could be BT material, but your ruleset would have to be specifically tailored to that idea, not just using ToS rules. ToS isn't itself the issue, it's that BTs tend to be focused on one specific mechanic or set of mechanics you are testing. This sounds potentially a bit too big to be BT appropriate.

Can all my slots be marked as busy for the next two months

I'll do it but can you ping me when you want it unmarked? Unlikely to remember to unbusy it, sorry!
