IOT Organisational and Discussion Thread

[Robert Can't]

Can we get the new one stickied?

 

[Ailedhoo]

Ok.

I will link it there.

 

[SamSniped]

I'm tempted to start reviving some of the old IOTs, either from the beginning or at the point they were at (if not that far into the game). All I need is a co-GM. Anyone up for it?

 

[Ailedhoo]

I have not GMed before...

But I am willing to try.

 

[CivOasis]

Co-GMing is a bad idea, especially if you're new GMs.

Most IOTs die for a reason, too...

 

[Double A]

Because the GMs stop updating.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I wonder which IOT we would resurect...

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

IOT6 or 7 plz

 

[Double A]

Oi, you! Finish your game already!

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

MAKE ME HAHAHAHAHAHA

No seriously, I intend to.

 

[Verarde]

^^^

Yay. Soon, pl0x.

 

[Ailedhoo]

IOT VII looks a intresting model...

I would like to have my first taste as a GM by being a co-GM on continuing or redoing the game.

 

[Mosher]

More than 1 GM is a bad idea.

 

[Ailedhoo]

But I need to learn! And if I have SamSniped as a teacher...

 

[SamSniped]

@ the people saying it won't work-I only need a co-GM unless you want an IOT that updates bi-weekly instead of weekly, on average

 

[CivOasis]

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure neither of you have GMd before, so, even if co-GMs were a good idea, you don't have an experienced "mentor" type to lead.

Even disregarding that, co-GMs have been tried multiple times, and, AFAIK, it's never been a good thing. At the very least, it never coordinates as well as you think it will.

I would like to have my first taste as a GM by being a co-GM on continuing or redoing the game.

For starters, IOT VII is based on the RIOT ruleset. It really only takes 15 minutes to update using the RIOT ruleset (the fact I didn't update IOT VII.7, game based on VII, was more out of newfound hatred than it being difficult to run).

Secondly, the ruleset has been done to death.

Just because it not succeed does not mean it will not work.

My approuch to co-GMs:


Link to video.

But I will commence it anyway... FOR SCIENCE!

 

[CivOasis]

That's a bad approach to a well-tested problem... It's not like it's some new idea (in which case I'd say good luck)...

 

[Tyo]

Regretfully, I'm starting to become busier and haven't had too much time to do much of anything as far as the internet is concerned. I'm dropping out of all IOT* and am going to have to stop my short management(If you can call it that) of I&B.

*The only one I'm going to try to be active in is Chiron.
