Fitness to purpose

Post by LordMortis »

Seeing as how we are here, we should make this into gaming parlour. Some posters, some paint, some stucko, we'll be in good shape. I can bring the Mountain Dew and pizza. I don't have a large stock of dice anymore. I assume I'll still have to step out back to smoke.

What sorts of games should we create? We could have some fun with pretty simple games like making a Mancala game, or some sorts of game that require a moderator. Or some PBM equivalents. Anyone up for Illuminati? Games like Puerto Rico are doable with no mod and only a tiny bit of tweaking. We have a lot of room in here. Why not use it? This could be a way comfy new home with a few throw pillows and a decent amount of forum drift. I can supply a lot of drift and I don't even have to try. I'm kinda naturally like a blowhard windy day after big ole snowstorm. :)

I'm totally serious. For instance, I'd be happy deal cards out for a four player game of five card cribbage if anyone interested.

For that matter how cool would it be to essentially work on mlutiplayer made up math puzzles? Have you ever played Mancala?

What if we make a virtual Mancala board with three spokes instead of a line?

While I'm not thrilled with the nature of this particular forum games forum, there is potential to be explored. All it takes is interest.

How about Diplomacy?

"I don't know," Snufkin replied.
The door shut again and Snufkin entered his forest, with a hundred miles of silence ahead of him.

Diplomacy would be an excellent moderartorless forum game. I just don't care for the game, so I won't be involved in it.

Actually I quite like that idea. I think I shall run a game, or try anyway, I shall go make an announcement thread.
