No posts in a month, I'd say it is. I just got busy and it translate well to a forum-style game anyway. But you all should go out and buy it as a board game, it's lots of fun.

So then either brobo can post his modified Hunger Games, or I can post a game I think will actually work. Right?

I'm sorry Z, this game seemed fun and stuff, and I know you were excited. :( If it makes you feel better though it looks like all the games died at once...?

I don't think we should start any more games until TAR has finished. I think we learned the hard way that too many posting games at once is a bad thing.

It will have to be modified quite a bit, I don't think THG is well suited to a forum in anything close to its intial implementation.

You can put up a new forum game any time you like, but as you know, it is often frowned upon to do so on a whim.

Brobo had some rules that look viable. Much simpler.

I put a lot of thought into it, and I actually have a rough draft of the rules... somewhere... I'll have to find them again, but I assure you that it will be good if I decide to go through with it

EDIT: If you would like to see a copy of the draft of the rules I've come up with, PM me and I'll happily send you a copy :D
