can you add me too? *NM* Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 15/09/2010 12:33:54 PM
in various discussions I've basically achieved the awkward position of tracking our methods of picking a moderator, here is the current waiting list, the criteria for selection, and the prior mod history.

Okay, so what are the criteria for those who want to go on the list? Well, we've slowly raised the bar on this since initially we didn't have many options, but it more or less is as follows:

  • Has been an active player in the last few games, and 'active' means active, moderating might involve going a week without posting but requires one to look at the board a lot and get votes updated and questions answered on a quick turnaround. Inactive mod = bad, RBIRL mod, especially after day 1, is doable, you just tap a dead player to regency and send them your game notes, though obviously this isn't a great thing either.

  • Has played at least 3 and preferably 5 or more games

  • Preferably has some prior experience moderating, DMing, or generally running games

  • Knows the rules and roles, and not just the basics, e.g. knows what happens in standard mafia when a roleblocker blocks the doc, the doc docs the RBer and a scummer NKs that RBEr. Knows why a cultist normally dies if they try to convert a scummer or at least fails and why that is important to the game

  • Does not suck at the game

    Okay, if anyone would like to add their name to the list, please let me know, it's not official - it can't be really since anyone can open a game on the RPG board whenever they choose - but by and large go loosely off a first-come-first-serve basis moderated by common sense.

  • First Time Moderator Waiting list
    Fox and Ravens
    Beetnemesis
    Bergioyn
    White Flame of Tar Valon

    Prior Moderator Waiting List
    Fanatic-Templar
    Kronin al'Sulc
    Isaac

    Note on the PMWL, those are just prior mods who have expressed an interest in running one again listed in the order since they last modded, since that would tend to be the default way of picking. In all likelihood the actual mod of the senior game in the 'every other senior' rotation would just be selected on the 'Hey, I've got the time and inclination to run a game' principle. Of our 18 games, here is the mod list to date:

    Darkfriend RAFO Mafia
    Game 01: Cor Aman
    Game 02: Cor Aman
    Game 03: Cor Aman
    Game 04: Marshall
    Game 05: Fanatic-Templar
    Game 06: Kronin al'Sulc
    Game 07: Kronin al'Sulc
    Game 08: Isaac
    Game 09: Fanatic-Templar
    Game 10: Yunalesca
    Game 11: Napoleon
    Game 12: Darth Katie
    Game 13: Hieshyn
    Game 14: Kronin al'Sulc
    Game 15: Gher
    Game 16: Isaac
    Game 17: Ranagrande
    Game 18: To Be Determined

    Current Selection - first pick to Fanatic Templar as top of the PMWL, second to Fox and Ravens who has been passing for a while due to time constraints, third to Beetnemesis

    Note that I add in any game that actually ran for some tangible number of posts. Which is why game 3 (the one we called a draw) and Game 6 (ran for one day with three of four new players being inactive modkilled) are on that list, along with 11 and 13 which ran parallel to main sequence with smaller numbers. If the RP Mafia game starts I will probably list it as game 18. Anyway, as a side note, I do mean to actually post an archive of summaries of past games at some point so prior mods or players are heavily encouraged to NB me a summary of game play, plot, actions and the player roster, along with a preferred game title beyond the numeric, e.g. 'Mad Maud', 'Tower Game' 'Robots', 'Mafia in Space', etc or I might just stick a common nickname on them.

    Anyone looking to add/remove their name or who thinks they should be on the PMWL can just post in reply to this, as can anyone with suggestions, corrections or criticisms of our picking method.
