It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Thread's been stickied, now.  Horray!  This thread is now an official replacement!

I think I'll add it to the OP in a hub section, moving both Kevak's thread, the Arms Race Hub, the Fire Emblem Hub, and whatever others of similar type I can find.

Right, it looks like my assumption that this list would be more populated and the Friday search through would be a mere 'fill in what hasn't come in' was false.  Considering the proportion that would show up with lackluster descriptions...yeah, I'm going to remove that bit...

Added, but I should note that status is meant for whether new people are being accepted into the game or not.

Shouldn't we use a Google Docs for this? SO that you don't lose interest and abandon this thread like your predecessors.

Change Storm to a "single player game," and remove the NEEDS PLAYERS notice.

I'm planning on sticking around for awhile.  If my interest truly starts to flag, then I'll set up a google doc, but that's probably not going to occur for awhile.  Honestly, the main danger right now is the fact that barely anyone seems to be wanting to put games on the list and we're getting large dead spikes in the thread.

Change Storm to a "single player game," and remove the NEEDS PLAYERS notice.

I'll update it soon.

Better to have the few games that are active than several games that die off fast anyways.

I think a 5 page requirement, min 3 perhaps, will help as proof of concept/dedication/interest. Or if you wish to add a sign-up section for fledgling games to distiguish them from those that arnt.


Suggested edits

Suggestion Games
Games wherein all players suggest the action taken for a single entity. for the turn.
Single is not the defining quality, just a commonality. All players choosing is. As you said, gameplay not theme ect.


Competitive Games
Games wherein players suggest actions for different competing singular entities. take turns to win a goal that is at odds with one or more players.
Competitive games can be abstract. Connect 4 for example. Move away from the entity concept, it's a theme not gameplay.


Cooperative Games
Games wherein players suggest actions for several cooperating entities. take turns to win a goal that is the same as or compatible with one or more players.

Faction Games
Games wherein players are split into playing as different competing factions.
Is this really a large group(is this basically just the middle ground of the previous two?)? Generally any cooperation qualifies it as that type.

Roll to Dodge
Roll to Dodge games.
Not needed.

Other Games
Games that do not fit into the above categories.


A few more things. While goal is a component, I would not even say it's the main component of gameplay for games. There's some things to take note of. So far every forum game I've ever seen is a take turn game so that's a default.
I think sorting by goal is actually good and probably the only way to do it even though it's not actually gameplay, as the next best thing is gameplay elements and games can have multiple of those. I think sorting by goal rather than theme is a good call, so stick to that. For reference here are some actual gameplay tags.

risk-reward
