Light House Game Nights - Sunday is Race night!

[Lythium]

I agree, there's always stuff that we can improve upon. However, I feel that if we change the reason for doing LH game nights, then what's the point?

[-Rei-]

as much as i want to find more ppl that play the same game as me

i would also like to discover new games

i never really played shooters until i tried l4d2 which i found really fun compared to other shooters

Racing has pretty much been the life of the Mario Universe board, and we made a pretty nice community from it as well.

We just had another MKW tournament today, and I forgot how much fun they are. 12 man room is so chaotic, it's great.

 

[Lythium]

That's kind of what I mean.

Keep the same system, more or less, but invite more games to be played or eligible.

edit: Ninja'd.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I agree with the above. How do people feel about a set schedule, though? If it repeated on a cycle other than 7 days, the specific day of the week that each one happened on would be different each week, but it would still be in order and predictable. I think that would be more fair for balancing whats played instead of throwing whatever into the week's list.

Also, what's this I'm hearing about New management? Can someone fill me in?

 

[Crimson King]

Oh, I have no idea how F8AL was keeping track of games. Unless someone knows, I will have to restart all the counts on who played what.

 

[Lythium]

Why don't you ask him? I'm sure he has a list that he could transfer to you.

 

[Deleted member]

iirc tery kep track and it's probably just an excel sheet with usernames and total amount of nights they participated

 

[O D I N]

If I had to guess (and I'm guessing) I'd say an excel sheet of some sort.

EDIT:

'd

 

[yani]

Yeah F8AL sent all the lists to someone (can't remember who) and they kept track

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I had a Excel spreadsheet with every participant, the number of events they participated in, and whether or not they had hosted an event. However, I've long since deleted the document.

That is all. F8AL only has the outdated versions from before he passed them over to me, but those were a mess.

 

[Crimson King]

So, we have no records in other words.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Yes. You will need to start from zero if you're going to remanage this. I can check my Recycle Bin but it's been over a month and I usually clear my trash every two weeks or so but maybe it's still there.

Edit--Yeah it's gone.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

So were starting over from scratch?


edit- sorry was on an outdated thread. If were starting from scratch, that gives us more freedom to improve the system.

 

[SuperMetroid44]

As much as I don't want to; I think starting from scratch would be the easiest thing to do at this point.

 

[Vinylic.]

So that means the postbits are gonna get taken off?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Why does it matter if tallies start over? It's literally impossible to recover / recreate the tallies prior to when I stopped keeping track. Not only is starting a fresh new set of tallies simple, but makes the most sense under a brand new system.

 

[Krynxe]

Yeah, I'm all for resetting the points.

If the games nights are going to be significantly less frequent, maybe the postbit requirements should be lowered?

 

[Brickbox]

How about just starting people at their last post bit?

 

[yani]

How about just starting people at their last post bit?

This. Don't know why this was so complicated to think of...

 

[Krynxe]

The idea was that the previous system made it too easy to get the points necessary, those already with the really good postbits will have gotten them at "a time it was easier to do so."

I'm not personally opposed to the idea, it's probably better not to cause people to feel like they've lost their progress. I'm not opposed to resetting the points, either. I'm just trying to add a bit of input.

I'll leave it to Crimson. And Crimson, feel free to PM if you want any of my input or help with this thread.

 

[yani]

Maybe a bit easy, but still. It's essentially the same postbit with a different color, is that such a big deal? If people kept every single postbit as they advanced, then I would understand. But they do not.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

How is it easy? This has been going on for at least 6 months and people have just started to get the 50 points thing. What other post bit on the site takes that much work? Even if its just an hour each session, thats 50 hours into the postbit (though I would say its generally a few hours each time)

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I agree on that. Easier...then there would be much more people at the 50 mark. It is just peoples availability is all. That is why I felt the system is fine as it is but heck, if it changes then it is fine.

 

[WindMajor]

How about just starting people at their last post bit?

I think this is a fine idea.

 

[Krynxe]

To clarify, it being easier was not my opinion. It's what I assumed other people might think - hence the quotes.

Starting everyone off at their current postbit sounds like a good idea though. I hope this all works out, I'd like to see the game nights back on track.

 

[BSP]

I don't want to go back to 5 when I'm at 25+...

 

[Krynxe]

You already have the 20-game-participant postbit there BSP

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

inb4theyattackthosewith50

Nah I'm just kidding. XD I was hoping I could hit at least 100 before the end of March.

 

[BSP]

oh, I thought "last postbit" meant the postbit you had before your current one

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Im actually surprised I don't have the 20 one... If i didn't have it i know I was really close... gonna suck going back to 5

 

[Crimson King]

There are only two options: reset all points and postbits or reset to the last postbit you have.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I know, im just complaining

in any case, we should get something rolling. How close are you on deciding a new system CK?

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

What about option 3? Someone goes through the thread and finds all the points so far? I'll be willing to do this.

 

[Crimson King]

Have at it. I don't really care that much.

I won't be awarding the host postbits anymore. I will probably also do away with the lower ones. So, I'd say 25 and 50 stay. The rest seem superfluous.

As for when we start: Anyone who wants to host official games should create a sign up by Friday. I'll update the OP with the sign ups. For next week, I want 3 gaming nights to start off. Feel free to play on the other nights, but only sign up ones count towards postbits. I think this will maximize people's abilities to try new games; you have a lot fewer opportunities to earn credit, so you have to step out of your comfort zone.

how about we give people who currently have the higher 2 the ones that would be removed, and then use the higher ones for like 100 and 250 or something really high

 

[yani]

RIP Light House. Won't be bothering here anymore

 

[Vinylic.]

Why is this discussion getting more complicated.

And why 100 and 250?

 

[Lore]

For someone who only has the very first post bit, it seems like you care far too much about this game night thing.

If these postbits are the only reason that you're coming in here, then you're coming in here for the wrong reasons. Game nights are meant to encourage having fun with other members, and the rest of the board is for discussion of games in general. If you're not here for either of those, then I see no reason why you should even be participating in game nights, to be perfectly honest.
