March would be better if that is okay with you? That game is different from the others as it isn't as taxing or as demanding as 'reality based' games.

If there was some way to resurrect it and host it when it was originally scheduled I'd have done that, but it was impossible.

I understand it wasn't your fault, and I agree it must have been very frustrating. I'll try what I can to get your game on as soon as we can, but this is the reason no more than two games should be on at the same time, sometimes it is hard enough to find applicants, having three games trying to gain applicants would make it harder for those hosts.

[Shaun]

Yeah I don't mind either, I haven't really started planning it yet

[Benjamin]

Cool, I've added you for March, but looking at February now it could be done then too.

Personally think its being too controlled now.

With such strict scheduling it introduces problems of games flopping (not enough applicants, host vanishes, interest in the game lost and gets cancelled etc.) and other games not being able to try-out because they havnt been fully prepared for 'in time'. Not to mention that its very easy to say 'oh yeah Ill do it in 4 months time' and then when it comes around the potential host may not feel up for it or no longer is a regular. Leaving nothing going on.

Not really considering that some games require just applicant participation as well (Photography Contest is always very specific to just its participants... which is normally never in double figures). And that of course members can play in more than 1 game.

I dont care really seeings I no longer get involved with TiBB games, used to love them, but I think this is just silly. In the past hosts have worked together and waited for each other by themselves. If theres problems then go all mod on their asses.

[Benjamin]

There you go, I've deleted the whole schedule. You can all run your games whenever you like. My apologies for trying being organised and trying to help all the game hosts out.

[Jarrod]

Oh great.

[Josy]

Looking forward to this mess, infact lets all just run games at the same time with no contestants, during BB that will be so fun.

[Locke.]

Alright then Josy, do you have any ideas for one?

[Apple202]

Actually just cancel Exiled and replace it with Mollie's game or whatever, I haven't planned anything apart from the basic overview so better someone else take that slot.

Somebody think of the children!

[Jarrod]

This is all so childish. Oh and that goes for Mods and members. Deleting the schedule isn't going to do anything. I'm sure most members, myself included, appreciate the schedule. Acting like little kids isn't going to do anything?

I understand that people are upset that their games have been pushed back or whatever but if it's what's needed then be patient. Some people have waited a long time to run their game or have scheduled it way in advanced - which is annoying for those that have been pushed back. Again yes i understand. But what's stopping us all sorting this out like sophisticated adults?

[Marcus.]

wow it going to go nuts now

[Ramsay]

Jarrod seems to be the only one with some sense

[Jarrod]

Thanks. Not often people say that

[Benjamin]

Well the main consensus from hosts is that the schedule is not needed. So we'll try it without the schedule for a while and see how that works out.

[Munchkins]

I still want to host the glass house in february after my exams..

[Jarrod]

I STILL! haven't heard back about Being Human.

[Jarrod]

Hold on? If there's no schedule what's stopping us playing our games whenever - Regardless of if the game has been allowed?

No seriously. Anything?

[MTVN]

Yeah nothing I suppose lol, crack on

I just read the last couple of pages. No offence to any but we NEED the schedule and some level of organisation for all to run smoothly. It'll be bedlam without a schedule.

Stop the silliness.

Let's appreciate those that bother to plan these things out, for the overall benefit of all of us.

[Locke.]

So much better without the schedule

[Marcus.]

its madness
