Often failed attempts at forum games are created, only to be locked in a few days. I think that there should be a set of rules when creating a forum game, so there is less spam. It would be a good idea to pin a topic with the forum game rules in null. Does anyone have any ideas for rules?
None.
Just here for the activity... well not really
I don't think there should be any because Mods hate 1 word posts.

Forum games are not 1 word posts... Mafia is a forum game and it doesn't have 1 word posts.
I think that any game that requires at least some thought and is not spam is fine.
None.
Forum games to close:
* Ones that require nothing but random bullshit. Such as the avatar game. Anything worse than "corrupt a wish" is basically great to close.
* Guessing games
* Post "x" means something, where users spam to get to a certain post or a certain post means something bad.
* SEN will no longer have a polling booth. As such, elimination polls and the type will not be allowed. I might code some functionality (poll reset & edit) so that if members get into that phase again, they can keep it contained to one topic.
From the Staredit CP. But generally, everything there is outdated, so don't follow it to the letter

I don't really mean "one word", I ment forum games that require few words.
Mafia isn't like that. You need to solve the clues and then vote.

Forum games are generally closed quickly because they fall apart quickly. Example:
http://www.staredit.net/topic/5269/ It started out as a nice little story, even somewhat poetic, but it started getting stupid.
None.
Yeah but a lot of times stupid=funny, funny=fun, fun=game, and closing game=not fun!!!
None.
A lot of forum games do get stupid...could we start deleting some posts instead of locking the whole thing?
None.
Deleting a single post would ruin a lot of games, I think, like 5 word story game. Hmm.
I think that if a game is stupid, it will die on its own after a while.
However stupid forum games could get created every day and the null forum could become a "stupid forum games forum with some random topics once in a while." I dunno.
None.
If Null becomes a stupid games forum, then the forum game rules get more strict. Probably the best idea, for now, would be to say "Anything that isn't spam and isn't a thoughtless post-a-thon is okay", but change this is it gets stupid.
None.
