This will be fun. I promise it will be fun. Also, this game setup is 100% Hoopy, so if it isn’t fun blame him. But it will be fun. (suckers) ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Yes, I do, which is part of the reason I think we can’t handle more than one. I wasn’t following the Split, but Not-so-simple had, what, four modkills for inactivity? When a game has that many modkills, _something_ is going wrong-- The game was pretty much decided by who had the least lurkers. Both Split and Not-so-simple had people who felt overwhelmed and/or had problems with accessing the board for whatever reason. Not-so-simple was a fairly complex setup with four factions. Split was a fairly basic game with a unique mechanic that shook things up, but it was full of newbies who were getting their bearings. Those factors and others (one player being a sock who got banned, for instance) created a perfect storm of non-playing, particularly in not-so-simpletown. Mahaloth’s game appears to be in the end game. There don’t seem to be many “tricks” remaining in it, it’s more of just tying up loose ends (granted, I won’t comment on how accurate that appearance is, since I’m spoiled in his game, but the players are pretty much at the point where they are using basic strategy to finish the rest of the game). My game is also fairly simple. There is gastardness, but nothing complex that should make anyone feel overwhelmed. ---

I want it but my track record for trying two games at once isn’t good and with a move coming up I think I’ll just be a spectator. ---

Oh man, this looks interesting as all get out. I’m not going to play, but I do want to watch, especially since I’ve never seen a Gastard game, but my curiosity has been piqued ever since I first heard people throwing that term around. ---

Yeah, something like that. Far too addictive for its own good. I’ll sit this one out, although I will probably ask for spoilers at some stage. ---

Speaking of spoilers… we are going to have an open spoiled discussion thread going on offsite once the game has started, so feel free to PM us and let us know if you want into that. ---
