CG Format - all interested please read.
I can attest that there is an inconvenience to remembering which forum account with which to sign. On the other hand, it's a little bit inconvenient to check two forums, especially if your habit is to log off.
IMHO, a big benefit to using another forum is that this EA forum is archaic in structure. Other forums (fora? ) would allow a much better thread-structure, and the "search" features are (relatively) phenomenal.
I'm curious -- if we hold the game elsewhere, you seem amenable to a password-controlled DMP. But you don't seem to want that if the game is held here. (DMP is on freeforums) I'm sure you have a reason for that difference, but can't think of what it would be.
Just because Our Resident Jerkweed with his stupendously successful fantasy life has a long established history of handling 'losing' by throwing tantrum, taking his ball and going home, or blowing up the entire game because he can't accept that he's a lousy conspiracy game player, doesn't mean that the rest of us are. Even our very youngest players are proof of that. To give him some sense of fulfillment in his desperate life, we may want a preset reply to his genius posts. "." comes to mind.
Anyway, if your game DOES end up on this forum, if you're unable to get 20 players, how about allowing players to play dual characters -- with two accounts. ... The players would be able to post under both their pseudonym and their regular forum name, at their own discretion, and at their own risk. (If they end up signed in on the wrong name at the time they post, and realize after they post that they made a mistake, and catch it quickly enough, they could go back and edit. (Which is, in itself, a different type of risk. ) )
(No matter how we do this, I'm gonna need to train myself to stop speaking in parentheses).

I'm honestly happy doing any of the three options
@Annette, my reasoning for not using DMP if the game was held here would be that if people are unwilling to visit another board to play, they'll likely be unwilling to visit another board for any reason, and I think it'd be a waste of time setting it up.
Edit, also @Annette
At least 12 players will work, if but 16-20 would definitely be preferable. If I had 12-14 I *think* the roles would be as they were in the very first game Urlaub hosted, with a single villain team of two.
You sound awfully eager.
(You DO realize that the goal in these games is to slaughter one another, right? )
I'm hooked now. Lol. Slaughtering eh? Now I'm really looking forward to it.
I like the idea of a DMP haven't been in a game where I got to use one yet.
I can see the possible confusion using another account here...I can see me forgetting and using the wrong one :roll:
I think I 'd prefer another forum if we are using pseudonyms..it will definitely add a element of fun.
Barry - I do like to follow along, but I honestly think letting non-players access DMP is not a good idea. Too much could go wrong with that.
*mobile friendly please*
Yep, freeforums let's you toggle between a mobile and desktop site.

I'm going to keep my eye on you.
Which one?
Just the left one, the right one is needed for other things and stuff.
