A Quiz game does sound nice. Maybe Other Trivia can pull one in which one person asks any type of question, and the person below answers, then ask their own question. There's a game going on just like that in Pokemon Trivia at the moment. Problem is people might make their trivia question too hard, and that's when the deadness comes. Least, it's what I've seen with little trivia question games before.

I'm not too sure about the count to infinity counting down, because then afterwards, once people mess up the count, no one will really know what the correct count it. The reason why we can maintain the correct count now is because of the number of the post in the thread. However, I do like the idea for DLTMS0. Maybe Netto and I can decide a date for that (or I can when Netto is on leave if he doesn't mind) and we can have a 'Don't let the members say zero' day(s).

I think you're talking about the 'Hurt and Heal' games, Niinii? The one in which you would subtract from one thing (like a section of a forum) and add to another? One of the games were very successful, but the second one died before reaching an end. I think now that there hasn't been one for a while, someone can bring it back.

Spoiler:
I still think you can contact Truality about Mafia, since he wanted to host it again, Netto.


Yeah, any Mafia stuff direct it to Netto. I could probably help with any ideas for a quiz game though.

So, about the mafia game... seems like I'll be hosting it. I'm positive about it since I have past experience in several boards which played this forum game. Therefore, I'd like your opinion about the theme of the game. I have six choices here and I'd like to see which one you're most happy with:

Pokemon - it's going to be pretty much like this

Harry Potter - it's going to be pretty much like this

Naruto - partly like in the anime, certain evil ninjas are trying to infiltrate the Hidden Leaf village. The battle's going to be with Naruto characters.

Time Continuum - an epic fight between famous figures of history, fighting to defend/take over the Time tower, floor by floor.

Castle Defense - set in the medieval era, a faction is trying to conquer a series of castles. Expect knights, dragons and magic.

Hamstring Infiltration - a galaxy mafia simulator, where the targets are space colonies and the characters are all kinds of alien beings.

If you're eager to play, give us your opinion!
This is my December . . .

I have no preferences. But I will say that if we end up doing a Pokemon one, it'll end p being hosted in Pokemon Trivia and not here in Other Trivia. I think that's the primary reason why we didn't decide on a Pokemon one in the first place. But it's the members' choice.

I kinda like the space mafia idea to be honest, maybe we can put things like "aliens have disguised among us" or something
Also a Quiz / Trivia competition like there was on the GT8 seems fun ^_^

I also agree with Tara. I have no preference over this. I leave it up to you PC members to choose whichever one you want.

Pokemon Special WOULD be nice but it's not OT material xD

Well since we only had one specific opinion and two neutrals, I'm going to go with the 'Hamstring Infiltration' scenario. By next week a thread will be up on Other Trivia for clarifications and sign-ups.

Until then, happy holidays, everyone!

I'm hoping to drop this sticky soon, since it doesn't get enough activity at all to be sticking around (probably going to have to talk to Netto about it though derp). Also MOTY Profile Contest will be dropped soon as well, so that'll clear up some of the space. I totally agree with you there, Nick, no worries. @[email protected]; It's been bugging me for a while.

I really hate to bring this up (again?) but I legitimately feel that the counting threads have long-stayed their fun. More often than not, these threads seem like semi-directed-mini-live-blogging dump sessions for certain Other Trivia veterans rather than counting games. People have become complacent with the number in The Count to Infinity as evidenced by the latest iteration's lifetime extending well over a year. The number in DLTMS0 seems more like an obstacle to type before submitting your post, more similar to a captcha than a fast paced counting game trying to outpost moderators and admins. There's really no reason to keep these around, let alone stickied, for reasons other than precedent. Rather than making these games the main draw of this forum, why not make it about the other games again? Rather than these perma-stickies, why not more frequent temp-stickies similar to POTW in Other Polls? These stickies give the impression that mindless chitter-chatter is the main draw of this forum (when it shouldn't be). Encourage more stuff like Mafia, Choose Your Own Adventures, and other creative games by giving these spotlight and therefore incentive. Emblems for completion/winning/activity might be cool as well.

I agree with jpp - it'd have taken us two days, not two months to go from the end of the last thread to the new one. Since this one is dying soon, maybe just... not sticky the next one? Like if the counting stood out as more important, sure, but as it is the counting is just something that matters to not-so-many of us now and both threads have kinda become cliques (not necessarily bad ones) in a way in that only the regulars stop by and everyone else just kinda avoids them.

May I suggest dropping both counting threads from the stickies in favor of the mafia game being stickied? That could be enough of a boost to help people realize that we actually have some deeper games again.

More than willing to do that actually since I'm already subscribed to both counting games.

Also if anyone wants to do a Mafia just contact me. Zeffy has the next one on the works after this one.

May just be cuz i'm not used to it, but there's a lot of stickies here.

As of this post, I would recommend taking down the Profile contest since it's outdated, and maybe merging the Rules and Game Index. That would lower the sticky count to 4 including the counting threads after this thread gets unsticked as noted above.

Alright. I have an idea. How about Netto or I toss up a poll on what to do with the counting threads, and perhaps a course of action of what should be stickied instead (such as Mafia, or we can bring up the whole 'Game of theweek/month' deal up for discussion). I've gotten to the point where I don't care, and it's up to you guys, anyways.

As for what digi-kun suggested, I'll get on that now. I've been meaning to take down the Profile Contest, and I like the idea of merging the Rules and the Game Index. I'll do the latter now, and I'll do the merge the moment Netto agrees (or he can do so if he so wishes).

Well since Peaches doesn't really care about it I'll go ahead and do the stuff you guys recommended.

1. Rules and Index are now merged.
2. Both counting threads are hereby unstickied.
3. This thread will be unstickied in favor of an announcement directing all recommendations to us through PM's, VM's and IM's. This thread will be re-sticked for any proposals deemed necessary for discussion.
4. The "Game of the Month" plan is hereby implemented, starting with Mafia.

I say skip the democracy (OT clique pandering is part of the problem) and do as you see fit. I mean, this IS your section of moderation. I don't think there'd be too much of a loss in activity if some drastic action is taken.
Ehh. Hard to do what I see fit when I don't really have a preference. But, what Netto has in mind works. If he doesn't unsticky them by later today, I'll go ahead and unsticky them myself (if I'm not laptop-less), since it seems that he might have accidentally (or purposely) left them stickied despite saying they are now unstickied in his post. Then, if anyone has any problems, they can PM either Netto or me, though I doubt we'll be changing it back once the chance in implemented.
