Kiel Farren has removed "A Game of Life and Death" (i cri) this means that there's an open space on the home page.

This belongs in the parlor room! What do you think should replace it?

Sorry, I posted it in the wrong place.

Personally I think mabye Avery M: Dead Mans Journal.

I forward this.

I can't remember which section it was in.

e: Oh, home page? In the Top Advanced Storygames rotation then?

Yeah, now we can't read Game of Life and Death anymore. Kiel has killed me inside.

I mean the game, not this thread.

Oh. I think Fantasy Adventure.

Since you were considering replacing Oakmount Drive with it, Apocalypse Yesterday.

Okay, horror then. Uh, that's an issue, most of the non-featured horror games suck. I guess Apocalypse Yesterday would be the obvious one since it was brought up, but I still haven't finished it and can't really speak to its quality just from reading the first few pages.

Steve has one I like but the rating's technically not high enough I think.

I vote for Avery M.

Also, while this is here, should we change what the two front page categories are?

Yeah, probably.

Not swapping stories out, but changing the actual categories? Separating games by Advanced and Basic always seemed weird to me tbh but I never thought of that as something that could be changed. Interesting. Would almost need it's own thread or a poll or something I'd think.

But the title of this thread is so apt.

How complex can you get with the pool they draw from?

Like one box for top rated storygames in general, and one taking stories from a certain genre only seems simple, but for the latter, could it pick a genre at random and spit out five top games from it?

Yeah, probably. That would be cool. Maybe it should do a tag instead of a genre though. Can you submit this to fWW?

Done.

I nominate Alpha Wolf to get re-featured in the open Horror slot. Nothing else is really worthy. It's almost like more people should have finished their entries for the October Horror Contest.

That's good for Horror, but what about the home page?

Mommy

Yes!

That's a good one :)

I haven't been able to rate it, sadly. Haven't gotten to a end game link

I thought it was already on the front page, but I guess not.

Just featured it. Front page handled.

Nice! :D

I vote we leave that slot open until the end of February. Bucky, I think I found your next contest theme, and we've got better incentive this time.

You have more faith in your fellow members than usual. Or has your recent word counts made you feel optimistic in your ability to trample on ghost competition?

I really think it was the co-author requirement that did that one in. A month should be plenty of time to write a moderate-sized horror story under normal circumstances.
