Also, Dietz and I ran two Blazblue mafia games. It doesn't seem right to end that series there. I intend to run a pair of games for Calamity Trigger and for Central Fiction. I hope to have CT mafia running within the next two and a half weeks. If you're interested in playing and YOU WILL BE ACTIVE! Let me know. I am supremely confident in my ability to fill it with 13-15 active players, but I want you guys to have first dibs.

Day Phases will last 4 days and Night Phases will last 1 day.
It's confirmed to be an all PR game.
Like the rest of the projects that Dietz and I commit to, it will be a mafia production. I promise the presentation in all aspects will be fun and interesting.
I am going to bar entry to players I think will be inactive. I want to make certain that we don't fill it with those who won't be playing.

Let me know via PM so I can keep track.

I want to join a mafia game. Is there any with crazy power roles around?

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Look up at the post above your's.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

It feels really nice to have gotten as many responses as I have already.

I'm going to open up sign ups to the people I know outside of DGames now.

Also, if you aren't going to play, but you ARE going to read, PM me. I've got a side show for individuals such as yourselves.

 

[ranmaru]

Yeah I am taking a break for noe but will PM you about reading.

Good, you'll save me the trouble of hunting you down. You are required.

Put me in, coach!

Although I will admit that it's going to be a little weird not having #HBC | Nabe screw me over again this time around. I'm pretty sure in every game we've ever played of blazblue mafia, he has screwed me over. It just won't be the same.

Mine was the last post...

Anyway! Just a reminder / refresher that anyone who's interested in a VGM identification competition should register that interest with me soon, to guarantee having as much time as possible when it begins.

The game requires no active participation, only private answer submissions before a deadline. The full competition is ~100 snippets of songs from multiple categories, and players will choose which of the categories they'll try to identify. The chosen categories' songs will be pooled together and sent to you in a random order. Answers are awarded 1 point for correct platform, +1 point for correct series, and +1 point beyond that for correct game title. A sufficiently specific game title (e.g. Super Smash Bros. Melee) is enough for the full 3 points (unless you then go on to claim that Melee was released on the C64). If you are the only player in the competition to get an answer entirely correct, you'll be awarded 2 additional points for that answer. Finishing out a category, even though they're jumbled up, is worth a bonus of 4 points.

Beyond that, there are several special songs intruding on the competition. Identification of these mysterious Intruders will earn even larger point values.

When is this? I am 100% down if you need another player.

I need some players for sure, but it's a willful participation game, not restricted to a certain number of people. It's cross-site with other forums, probably in a few days.

So I've been making VR games on the side for a while, and I recently entered a contest with a $30,000 first prize. I made it to the finalist position and won't know if I won until after Christmas, but there is a "community's choice" award that at minimum grants an MSI Trident desktop computer.

If you want to take a few moments out and vote for the game "Dungeon of the Necromancer" (dumb name, but it's my entry) and get others to do the same, it could guarantee that I at least get something from this!

Peeps should join the millerizer game Zen is hosting.

 

[JayTheUnseen]

I remember back when I played a few mafia games here.
I had fun at the time but looking back I acted cringy af the whole while.

Don't feel too bad about it though. With that realization you've already shown more self-awareness than most people have :3

I'm on it.

 

[Overswarm]

Have any of you guys ever done any Escape Rooms in your area?

May be opening one up in my area if I can find a good location.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I've wanted to try one of those but never had the chance.

yes. a few in philly and i did one in baltimore. they all get good traffic i believe

I'm a game master for one. We just opened in December, are you planning to be independent or part of a franchise? I could get you in contact with the owner if you had questions about opening one, depending on where you plan to open it (I assume not north Texas?)

 

[ranmaru]

I never tried one.

 

[Spak]

I saw a brochure for one in the Poconos, but didn't go because I was on a big family vacation and didn't have a car of my own with me.

That would be pretty good -- we're opening in northern ky / south ohio area. Still looking for good locations, but it will be somewhere a bit out from Cincinnati. I have a lot of questions though.

We're doing independent and I'm doing the design for all the rooms and that part isn't too difficult.. but I lack the experience in the more businessy areas.

• What kind of insurance do you get, and what does it cost?
• When looking for a location, how do you anticipate traffic to your business based on that location? Just raw population 18-35?
• What do your numbers look like in the opening month(s)?
• What cameras/software specifically are used for the Escape Room / Control Room?
• How did you determine if your initial investment / profit per ticket was appropriate prior to opening?
• How big are your rooms sqft-wise?

Questions like that.

Pm your contact info and I'll pass it along, though I'll say 90% of our customers are through online booking, big money is corporate team building events, very few walk ins and when they do they usually just schedule for a later time that day, we're located at a strip mall

 

[BarDulL]

Unrelated but relevant, anyone here going to genesis?

I'll be there helping run the event so I'll be busy as **** but I'll be keeping an eye out

Done!

If you don't mind me asking, I'm also curious how your pay is set up / how your hours are dealt with. I know most around here have an SMS messaging system that tells them when a booking happens, but I didn't know how the whole "being paid to run games" thing works. If you're paid $X/hour, how do you determine when you work? If only one game was scheduled, does that just count as one to two hours and you're done?

Never had "official" employees before but likely will have to due to having twins.

 

[Maven89]

We use bookeo, we have schedules every week but our manager keeps in contact with us and lets us know if we have bookings or not, if no bookings then we don't work even if we're scheduled, though he tries to even it out so one person doesn't get shafted. It's definitely part time, I get around 25 hours a week from it because I'm a great worker, most others get less, though atm we only have one game room that's running, we're opening our second one this week and the third should be out soon after which should get more hours . Because of the small and inconsistent hours you're going to have a pretty high turnover early on, so hire extras! Employees show up around 30 minutes before their scheduled time (they're paid for this time) to prepare the game room, after the game they have to reset it/close up shop if there's no one else, but yeah if there's no bookings then sometimes you show up for 2 hours and go home.

That sounds awesome for a college student with no other obligations looking for pocket change and horrible for everyone else o_o

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Thinking I might enter a Mafia game with some light activity. Played here once before long ago in the Death Note mafia that was canceled midway through.

 

[#HBC | Nabe]

Happy birthday #HBC | Ryker !

guys what happened to us all doing a project together??

 

[ranmaru]

I want to make a game. Or something.

 

[Overswarm]

Like a video game?

If you guys give me money I can make that happen. Other than that notsomuch.
