Now that SGOTM20 is behind us, let's talk about SGOTM21.
I've been (slowly) playtesting another scenario from BSPollux. I will say that it is very different from #20 and interesting with lots of decisions. We would like to hear your feedback on the following:
1. When to start? We are targeting a December 1 start date. Is that too soon? Do you need a longer break? How much time from Game Announcement/SignUp Thread is needed (we probably won't have the announcement until mid November).
2. Progress Graphs accessibility? Some have expressed concern about the information available in the Progress Graphs. With some effort, AlanH could probably implement some scripts to delay their publication. It's my belief that speculating about the other team's graphs is part of the fun; so I wouldn't change how it's been run the last several games. But, what do you all think?
3. Related, how do you feel about having all teams submit saves at particular dates to facilitate comparison?
4. Finally, as in previous Pregame Discussion threads, any and all ideas are welcome. They may or may not get into SGOTM21, but could also be used in a later game (or an xOTM).
Thanks, Deckhand and BSPollux
