Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Cheers guys, think we have a goer then!
Based on what Deja said I think I'll flip the scores around so high scores are better. The detail may be messy but it'll be easy to understand once it's running, I think!
Right, I've a month to come up with the questions, easy!

The rejuvination of Catchphrase has made me wanna come up with MOAR GAMES
WE NEED MOAR GAMES.
How about.... 'The Missing Link' ?
Same flow as catchphrase, as in play passes to the first person who gets the right answer.
Basically, you post your two 'words', 'pictures', 'songs', 'movies'....etc. etc. whatever you want that have some sort of secret link behind them. FGers have to figure out what it is.
Here's an example:

Had an idea for a new kind of Walrus game. It would be a weekly competition with the category changing each week. Users post their own song in the thread (with an optional few sentences to why they choose it). The song with the most thanks at the end of the week wins. The winner chooses the song category for the next week.
Weekly Walrus I call it, inspired I know. What do you think, any suggestions? Perhaps thanks not the best way to judge the winner but I can't think of a better one.
I think it sounds good.

I mean, category chooser chooses the winner, nix the thanks thing like u say
The problem there would be, some weeks the person could take forever to pick a winner, and the game would end up being stalled for ages. I'm guessing Shane's idea is to keep things moving and that there's always a slice of Walrus happening, while people take their sweet ass-time hosting the regular Walruses... 0 -

Sounds like a good idea Shane
One thing I'd consider is still having entries by PM, with a very tight deadline (maybe 24hrs)
The reason I say it is that I think it's better if all the songs land at once. Otherwise, say Person A puts a song up, people listen and like it, then two days later person B sticks one up, they're at a disadvantage I think...?
Also, then it's anonymous, which is fairer on Trig

Fair comment
Could do, 3 days submission window, no thanks allowed, then 4 day voting window0 -
You're absolutely right EN but the problem again is we're relying on other people to handle these things and often they go AWOL for weeks/months....when was the last walrus I can't remember...
At least this way it keeps things moving. If the winner doesn't post the category on Monday, the 2nd place person can post it on Tuesday0 -

I would also like to declare my interest in playing that idea LeVar and Necro are working on, sound pretty cool
For Reference (from the Werewolf Feedback Thread)Also Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »Well aside from in-person Werewolf and similar games, I also used to play online versions of Survivor and Big Brother (the US version, which is not just a public popularity contest like the UK one) both of which are all about strategy, alliances, figuring out who to trust, and knowing what the next 3 or 4 steps should be if the preceding steps go smoothly, so I guess there are certainly transferrable skills from those.Tell me more.....Also Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »It was on Facebook years ago (circa. 2011-2013) and honestly I left all the game groups and don't even know if they still exist, so can't look back to throw up examples, but it wasn't entirely dis-similar to how Werewolf is played here (they were big events, really well organised, and you kind of knew they'd run for about a week), just different mechanics to the game structures.
There were competition challenges every day (usually mini-quizzes, and online puzzles) to determine Tribal Immunity/Individual Immunity for Survivor or HeadOfHousehold/PowerOfVeto for Big Brother (have a look at the wikipedia pages for both shows if you're unfamiliar with how those games work), and then it was mostly about alliances, and stabbing people in the back just like in the shows...
We PM'd the Game Mods our confessionals/diary room entries, and were able to ask Mods to open up secret facebook groups for alliance chats. So on the main game thread, the competitions, general chats, tribal councils, and who got voted out, etc. were able to be seen by everyone, but it wasn't until the very end of the game, when the alliance chats and confessionals were published that everyone could see the big picture of what was going on, so at times it could seem like people were making mental moves, but you'd then see post game the reasoning behind it via the secret chats (essentially the same as the wolves chat in the backroom) and get a view of the bigger picture.
I was thinking this morning while looking through the backrooms for Father Ted that it could be adapted to run a game of Survivor or BBUS here or maybe some sort of hybrid of the two... The daily competitions for immunity or whatever could be mini-sheep, and variations of other games we play in FG anyway. I'd need to think of it a bit more and chat to some of the WW gamesmasters who know their sh*t about using backrooms and designing games to see if it could work for us, but they're definitely games I think people round these parts could enjoy. It's always fun, making alliances, stabbing each other in the back, and voting each other out of games, right?Sounds like that sort of game would fit in VERY well around here
Have sent you a PM LeVarAlso Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »PM received. Looks like its worth moving ahead with developing it anyway. Myself and Necro are on the case...0 -

If you mean me organising it, I don't have the wherewithal to do it. I would not be able to give it the time it would deserve in putting the threads together and all those calculations. I would not like to be letting down the show!
Other than taking part (my favourite bit of course!), I could act as an advisor/researcher in that I could PM a list of questions for the would be host. 0 -
