I agree with Kath, and several others. We probably should maintain parallel games, but we should also pay heed for their timing. So not beginning the games simultaneously but preferably overlapping each other, so that the early drop-outs, really wanting to play, could recruit to the other game, and overall, people would have choice to which game they might want to commit themselves.

That said, I would also like to see the TiG games be more complicated / larger etc. as the TigJ games. So there would be something like a basic-game area for newbies like me (and those who just love the basic game), and then the "advanced" game. That should of course not be anything formal or restrictive in any way, not to talk of making grounds for any normative judgements about the betterness of one over the other.

So if Farael's game starts in a few days, I guess Diamond should start recruiting people en suite, but start the real game only after Farael's game is drawing to the end - as is happening now in relation to Valier's TigJ game and Farael's TiG game.

PS. What is the queuing situation in the TiG? In TigJ there are three games on the list: Diamond, Samwise, Nogrod & Thinlomien. If there are no reservations in the TiG after LMP, I think we (me & Lommy) could change our game from TiGJ list to TiG -thread after LMP?

That's how I was planning it. Then while my game is being played, LMP's game would be getting recruits, and as my game finished LMP's game would start, etc. This might not please some who don't like the idea of playing in a game right on the heels of another game, but I think that should be a personal desicion made on their parts rather than something forced on everyone. I don't really see how signing up for a game right after you've been killed bends the rule of not playing in more than one at a time. When you're dead you can't post, you can't PM, you can't play. You're decidedly not in the game.

I think Kath is after LMP.

I totally agree with Diamond about this (being a person who would like to have played for the last week or so, but were killed the first night by some werecats, and have from that on just waited for the next one to start - which frustratingly hasn't moved a bit forwards, not to say begun...).

I understand, that you can't be wholeheartedly in two games simultaneously. That's a good argument, but I guess you could be Gil-Galad, Gandalf or Alcarillo in ten games at the same time... But that's another problem.
