Theme Test Market

MeMe · Post Post #1 (isolation #0) » Wed Aug 20, 2003 7:57 am

Uh, yeah. And actually I announced before the crash that my next themed mini would be based on Homestarrunner. But I guess I could give way to you...

MeMe · Post Post #14 (isolation #1) » Wed Aug 20, 2003 2:35 pm

I've actually put some thought into this and considered making

Teen Girl Squad

! the mafia...

Or perhaps a Homsar/Strong Sad killing team - finally getting their revenge.

And perhaps Trevor the Vampire as an SK.

Take no offense, Talitha -- he was channeling Strong Bad!

PB, I missed your post earlier about possible collaboration. I'm perfectly happy with you taking the reins alone -- I won't whine that you stole it from me or anything

. I think I only announced it in a game thread, as a response to someone who quoted Homestar; I haven't even re-signed up moderator mini theme list since the crash. I think the email format you've sampled above is a great idea -- I'm reserving a spot now (and crossing my fingers I don't end up as Marzipan

).

I've got a free-market Christmas game written that I'll roll out once Princess Bride is done (hopefully

before

Christmas), so I've got plenty to do.

Norinel -- please wait a few slots before putting yourself on the theme list. I can't imagine not signing up for either HSR game. If they run at the same time, it will be impossible!

Well there's that series of strips where he replicates himself several times for homework/chores/etc. That might be hilarious to make townspeople out of the extra Calvins -- then the original Calvin could be an SK bent on getting rid of the duplicates!

Is this an idea for a mini? Because I'd play, if so. If it's a big game (20+ players) I probably wouldn't -- I hate the drop-out rate in big games.

Excellent! I've been working on "Go Fish" and "Crazy Eights" mafia. I've got you down, shady.

That is so weird. Just last night I suggested to Fletcher that a Sesame Street or Muppet mafia might be awesome. I think I'd go for Muppets over Sesame Street, though. Just think:

Animal
The old guys in the box seats (can't think of their names)
Swedish Chef
Beaker
Fozzie
Gonzo
Pigs in Space
Scooter

The possibilities....

Oh -- and I'd be up for some Spongebob as well!

I'd be tempted to quit other games to play Office Space. (But I wouldn't of course -- I'm a conscientious scummer

)

mudster tried to run a backwards mafia on the archived site -- but it was a miserable failure...you might want to read it as a cautionary tale.

I'd never heard of Red Dwarf, but immediately following the first time the possibility of a game based thereon was discussed (in HHGG1) I added the discs to my netflix queue and placed them on hold at my local library. They have been listed as "long wait" for all this time...

So, basically, yeah -- I wanna play. But, no -- I haven't seen it yet.

MeMe · Post Post #173 (isolation #12) » Mon Oct 13, 2003 7:20 am

Do enough people watch/like "The Office" to make a mini-game based thereupon feasible?

MeMe · Post Post #179 (isolation #13) » Mon Oct 13, 2003 3:58 pm

I'm on the mini theme list to run Survivor Mafia. It's written -- but I have one kink (could be unresolvable) that I need to work out. Basically, I'm just posting notice as I see PBuG mentioned it as a theme in his above list and I don't want anyone else working on one unnecessarily.

MeMe · Post Post #225 (isolation #14) » Thu Dec 04, 2003 5:35 pm

Just retrievin' the thread...move along now.

MeMe · Post Post #230 (isolation #15) » Sat Dec 06, 2003 3:19 pm

We have a Final Fantasy mini game currently running on the board here.

MeMe · Post Post #255 (isolation #16) » Wed Dec 17, 2003 5:36 pm

I think there's sufficient interest for another HHGG -- the two that have been run were minis, so only 12 got to play in each. But you might want to read through TRATEOTU (in Little Italy) and talk to Werebear about the first...which was tragically last in the crash...so that you don't duplicate the set up. Though that would be mighty unlikely.

I'd be /in for Army of Darkness the second sign-ups began

And the unlikely superheroes game sounds hysterical -- I'd play that.

Any interest?

You could even change the wording here to "players must at least check the game every other hour" and I'd still qualify...

Definitely interested in playing any high-participation game.

Sure, I'd play and I've seen it.

Well I can tell you that I've not been notified of any muppet theme pending in the mini queue.

You've got an immediate sign-up in me.

I'm in the normal game queue to run one something like this -- only I've called it "Siamese Twin" mafia.

Just his movies? Or would Opera Man be in there?

I'd play Friends maf.

spork -- it sounds a little too much like the "Gay Mafia" that Untrod Tripod ran in the New York forum a while back. It didn't really work.

MeMe · Post Post #557 (isolation #28) » Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:40 pm

Oooh - good theme. I'd probably play.

MeMe were you talking about my theme? just checking.

I want to do that theme (the craft) but don't know whether to do a mini or 20 player game b/c either would work.

Yes - I was talking about The Craft...I think you'll

probably

have to go with a smaller game for that.

MeMe · Post Post #580 (isolation #30) » Wed Mar 30, 2005 1:13 pm

Three themes I'd love to do -- but need to know whether they're too obscure:

MadTV (larger, 20 roles or so)

Arrested Development (mini)

The Office (mini)

MeMe · Post Post #583 (isolation #31) » Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:39 pm

Now, let's not get off-track. My post had

nothing

to do with Lord of the Rings.

MadTV? Arrested Development? The Office?

Anyone know them?

MeMe · Post Post #588 (isolation #32) » Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:41 pm

~laughs~

MadTV has the best potential for rich roles...I hope enough people know it (and if you DON'T know it, start watching it on Comedy Central! It's consistently more hilarious than SNL)

Ohhhh - kay. You no say that before.

MeMe · Post Post #604 (isolation #34) » Tue May 17, 2005 9:06 am

Sure - I'd play that, though sign-up would hinge on number of players (I don't really care for games over 20).

MeMe · Post Post #632 (isolation #35) » Fri Aug 05, 2005 6:11 am

I'd play that.

MeMe · Post Post #638 (isolation #36) » Sun Aug 07, 2005 7:51 pm

Well, if you decide to run it, announce far enough in advance that I'll have time to study up.
