I used to honestly love playing forum games on here, they came along seldom but even if I didn't play I would read along etc

I don't know why but now I avoid them. I don't know if it's just general exhaust from playing or if it's just how many their are or even the repetitive scenarios and people who play them (no shade I play too so im not coming for anyone) and the obvious alliance etc.

Anyone else (who plays) feeling a bit like this?

• I do love Darkwood and ICB though i must confess

[reece(:]

I don't really play often because it can be a bit repetitive, although I haven't actually seen that many games been hosted recently?

I actually feel there is a lack of games tbh there has been one or 2 successful one in the last 5 or 6 moths

I've stopped playing them now, don't really have the time for it and they can be repetitive at times

TiBB Games Ltd. in need of a new producer.

The problem is that it's really difficult to get people to apply for games especially new ones that they're not familiar with. I don't know how any new game can actually get past the applications process unless the person running it is popular and all their friends on here play but even then they're usually accepting people on the same day as launch.

Of course you don't, it's not like every season you come into the game thread and say how much you're enjoying reading the game/which cast members you dislike, is it?

I played only The Bachelor so far, so I don't know much about other games.
I'm not sure if there are enough people for enough games, and there are plenty of games and it's quite a commitment at times - maybe it makes people more picky which one to participate in?
I guess it's disappointing when people plan their games and then it might not get executed due to lack of interest/people more interested in other games that happen at the same time?
Maybe regulating the amount of parallel games every month and such can help? Just to give a fair chance for everyone and defuse the "unofficial" competition between games.

Well I have started a new game popstars: supergroups all the details are on the X factor page if anyone is interested?

But other than that I try to differentiate my seasons to make them more interesting (especially with my upcoming season but I'm not saying anything) , and I know Jarrod is trying to do that with his upcoming BB series, Will did it by trying to change up the game by introducing two bachelors instead of one which made it a really good enjoyable season with a new format, and obviously Shaun and Dezzy make every season of ICB and Darkwood different with every season and they do it flawlessly. My point is that we're all trying to make everything as enjoyable as possible and change things to stop them being 'repetitve'. It's not like we don't try. I honestly feel like there needs to be more of a respect to people who put time in and actually run these things rather than threads like these which is basically saying 'You're boring us'...

Most of us do try and organise it fairly and give plenty of notice months prior so people can organise their games accordingly and give plenty of room for others but even then random schedule-stopping games pop up, which is quite irritatiing.

I understand and agree.
Maybe it would be better to create a rules/guidelines/games-calendar sticky thread, to make it clearer to new members/those who are not familiar with how it all goes? Not in a strict manner, just help it run more smoothly.

That would actually be a nice idea, I might ask the others if they can contribute anything and we could make a little list of suggested guidelines and everything with a little calendar

I only really take part in games to boost cast numbers and I end up enjoying near enough all of them. I didn't expect to enjoy Revolution since I'm not good with strategy but I did. Same with Survivor. TiBB BB is always great and I really enjoy Will's Bachelor because it's nice and lighthearted and I'll find a way to take part every time he runs it!

[Cal.]

I've never played Darkwood but I'd like to and I played In Cold Blood years ago and that was fun. No other games come to mind ATM. I presume Elimination is pretty much done, especially with Revolution being successful.

Calm down. I posted this initially at almost 1am and simply must have forgotten what your game was called since I've never played. I wasn't being shady at all and yes I did think the last Revolution was good.

Amy I remember when you did that magazine for I'm A Celeb!

This. I'm really excited to run The Amazing Race on here but in 3 weeks I've had one application.

I've noticed loads of games over the last few months asking for applications but then not going ahead because of numbers, so maybe if the problem is that they aren't being noticed a special section for them could be a good idea? Maybe just a stickied thread or something that shows which games are coming up and need applicants? It's a shame if they're not going ahead just because people are missing them, they can be a lot of fun and the hosts put so much effort into them so finding a way of making them more prominent might be an idea.

I remmber that too! Amy's hand drawn tasks It's little things like that that I really enjoy about tibb games. I get what people are saying about repetitiveness sometimes but you also get to see a lot of creativity and I love that about them. And it's not always repetitive, Winter won The Bachelor when he's never taken part in any games before, Adam won one too and then in the recent one he was voted off first (both scenarios being unexpected ), so you do get surprises too.
