Just as a little hint at what's to come, we're going to be having a very tight schedule over the next month. I'm hoping we can have Haters 3 done in a week or so, and then I'm hoping that we can get through the next two games, ROTJK and SOD, both before May ends. If this type of schedule (no more than 2 weeks per game) can keep up into Phase 4 then we'll be good. There are 10 games in Phase 4, which means it's going to take a long time to get through them all. Hosts from this point on need to be very quick. Also, there is a lot of special and unique stuff which, as promised, will be announced after Haters 3 is over.  |

Is it possible that I could host a different game either before or maybe instead of my game I currently have? My game is about half ways through phase V so I have about 7 or 8 months but just wondering if that would be okay to change things up if I want too?

As you said it's really far away so you've got plenty of time to make all the changes you want. |

I dont see the reason to rush. I mean i think that we should take our time with the games. Then when there done move on to whos next in line. Why do we have Phases? Other than for the purpose of having order?
It seems rushy if you ask me, all that before the end of may?

Other than for the purpose of having order? It seems rushy if you ask me, all that before the end of may? There are things planned for after May that we want to get to. Also, if you were a host you'd understand that it's very frustrating to wait 5 months to host your next game. I'll have to wait through 9 games after I host Oppression of Omega to finish my trilogy, which will easily be months. We have phases to keep order and have the games organized into groups. It also gives you a better sense of when a game will be hosted. |

And getting through those games in that time shouldn't be too hard. I remember a time where all games were less than two weeks. I even hosted The Tale of Omega, a game with 16 total players, in just 10 days. It can be done.

So, what's the target days that you would like a game to be? 3 or 4? Around there?

Yeah, that was also a good example of how fast we can get through games if players are cooperative and the host is prepared and ready. |

(To both of you) I see. So, like Spider said the target should be 14? I want to try and make my games as fast as possible but not too fast. What if we lower the hours to vote? Maybe from 24 to 12?

I even hosted The Tale of Omega, a game with 16 total players, in just 10 days. It can be done. If you ask me i easily think that 2 games at once can be done. On Sw.com it would be too confusing being on one single board on the Ambush guide so it was necessary for one game at a time. But with this forum and all the abilities it offers with threads and different places to post, i definately think it can be pulled off. I mean theres some people who play Mini games and An AG game at the same time. The only difference would be is there playing 2 AG's. It's quicker to get more games and events in and not everyone has to play both, so the games would go a little quicker and more oraganized. Doubt it will happen, but i think a test run wouldn't hurt either. We had to test this forum out and we ended up liking it. |

Unlimited, I don't think 12 would be enough for players to get on. Some people even sleep for 12 hours...  I think we should keep it at 24.

And it would take away the feeling that a host usually gets from hosting a game. |

Well shortning the days can be done in a few ways. If you keep your game engaging, people will come on more and be more active, and there will be a quicker conclusion. I also killed off a few inactive people in my last game. That gets people commenting more. I was able to get through Day 5 in less than 14 Hours. |

I think that would work relatively well. And no offence, but why do you type so much *all the time*? You could convey the same information in a few compound sentences and the help of some semi-colons. |

The hosts would end up competing for attention and people would have to remember different facts about players on both sides. I was kinda considering something like that for Servants where half the players would play one game and the other half played another. And then the winners would compete if one set were loyals and one were scum. |

It could be kind of confusing on remebering which game which evidence came from. True. |

I gotta get going then. Special... what special things? 
I think we should keep it at 24.
