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 -

I haven't watched the Eurovision in years, used to love it back when we were dominating it
I would play. I take it all the songs have already been chosen and we would have plenty of time to listen to them
On a separate note, is anyone planning on running a Euro 2021 FF type game this year like the one Strawbs ran 3 years ago for the WC? If no, I could run it if folk are interested. Think we had a good turnout last time.0 -

Oh you mean a Surlaw?Wonder would there be any interest in a Eurovision Walrus type game? Boardies decide the Eurovision for 2021. We could run it the night's before the actual contests so semi final 1 on the 17th May, semi final 2 on the 19th and the grand final on the 21st. Or just a straight run of all songs ranked by boardies. yes why not 0 -
