NAH: 24

Conclave: 24
Hogwarts: 24
Season Finale: 16
Game of Thrones: 18
Greece: 20
Arkham: 24
Mass Effect: 24
That's an average playerlist size of 22 players per game, which is HUGE... under 16 may be a better number overall. I think part of the burnout is that everyone is involved in the same games over and over and there's no room for others. It would also encourage non-Survivor games to be run.
Hey, there's probably no one on site who is happier to see player counts drop from its current levels. Smaller games YUSDefined by who I dislike, not who I like~-

With the application turnout of NAH and hyrule, are we still even allowed to point at a small pool of players? The last few games have had a healthy amount of first timers, but not really a great amount of returning first timers. The system is set up for growth, but certain factors are killing any form of sustainment of that growth.
And I agree with Reck on the point that there is a demand for games in the 12-16 games in terms of mods, its just swept under the current 20+ player influx.
With the queue as new as it is though, I don't think adding a second one will help anyone. I would also argue that interest levels are dropping regardless of activity. We can easily get to a point where the current player base can support more than one queue, it might just take a bit of time with focus on the smaller games (mole, solitary, bb, w/e). Having a varied game list brings in more people that would otherwise not think to join a survivor game. A small stepping stone to help with an already large barrier to entry.Defined by who I dislike, not who I like~-

I don't think its a preventing issue, its an unknown territory not sure how to jump in issue. Time is the only solution for that though once things steady out a bit.Defined by who I dislike, not who I like~-

For once I wasn't!
Having a second thought here, a lot of it depends on which game too. Ex: no matter the pull of Colosseum, if someone made a thread for a mole game the day it started, it would certainly still find players.
You hear that Blackberry? If you made and ran Toadstool Traitor 4, people would play in it

Can you endure the trials ahead? Can you outwit, outplay and outlast the other contestants? Do you have what it takes to become a part of the Trump organization? Can you stand isolation, your only companions being a sadistic computer and a red button? And most importantly, can you make it to your destination without being kicked out of the cab? If so, then you might just be able to win...
Advertisement posts are overrated!
Reality Show X is a competition to determine who truly is the ultimate reality show contestant; you will face numerous trials and tribulations on your way to your 15 minutes of fame. Several will try. Only one can win.
We are now opening pre-ins, of sorts. If you intend to participate, and would like to call dibs on a character of your choosing now instead of [insert date Arkham ends], we are allowing you to do so! Please keep in mind that there will be a formal application when signups are officially open, and this pre-in doesnotguarantee you entry into the game (as a player).
The character theme is essentially "obscure reality show contestants"."But what does this mean, BBM?"We aren't looking for reality contestants that are fairly well known like Richard Hatch or Boogie (I'm above the law), but are encouraging creativity on who you pick. It doesn't have to be social reality games like survivor or big brother either, go wild. For simplicity, we have created a list of Survivor contestants and Big Brother contestants to pick from, which you will find below.
Spoiler: Survivor Players
Spoiler: Big Brother Houseguests
Don't know any of these people? Perfect.
tl;dr: Send me character picks if you wish to claim them early on. If you aren't sure if a player is obscure enough, there is an easy solution called "asking", which you are free to do! Only guideline not listed here is that if the character pick featured in Survivor: Expect the Unexpected, we will not be accepting it.Defined by who I dislike, not who I like~-

It's okay, I'm content being the villain in every story, its what the people want. Fact is, this whole circlejerk of a community is being run by a hypocrite who only has the backs of his friends in mind. If people who love talking about change but couldn't find the word action if it stabbed them in the gut actually want to find some, there is your figurehead.Defined by who I dislike, not who I like~-

Can't talk about that for a few days :/
Read the end of the spectator forums in EtU and tell me I have a choice in being the villain. I can't control how people look at others. This community is toxic, and the people who are at the center of it being toxic are idolized by their peers.Defined by who I dislike, not who I like~-

Pretending that ceph was immune from anything instigating in the Etu stuff is straight up ignorant. Yeah I was rude, but I was rude in response. The stuff he said offended me and shocker, that's my response mechanism.
My intent is not to bully, but frankly, ceph can find my ass and kiss it at this point. He's made it abundantly clear that Jason's feelings come before anyone else's (vague because arkham reasons) and he's actively putting Jason's game over any game in the queue because of personal relationships. The only reason the first page of the queue has any information about RSX is because XOFELF TOLD HIM TO PUT IT THERE.Defined by who I dislike, not who I like~-
