(t)BTM: a Chance for revival - postponed

I’m not sure how viable a 5 player* round would be- you could make it work but as far as a revival game goes I don’t think it’d really leave players satisfied enough to want to play it again…

*5 Players based on the current signup list not counting those who have currently withdrawn.

starting to think there will not be a chance for revival for this game

Again the time of year doesn’t help (Thanksgiving in the US with Christmas following shortly after) with filling the lobby. Out of curiosity was there a census taken on who’d actually be interested in a BtM revival or did we jump on it in the moment? It honestly might be more worth it to gather a willing group, find a sort of timeframe where people could participate and try again?

I won’t compromise on that part.

A 6 player BTM game isn’t really give back the same experience. (Trust me, I tried.)
If I want to host a low-player game I wouldn’t bother with BTM in the first place.

The whole point of this attemp was testing (and promoting) the bots, (or have a full 14 player game, but I felt a full BTM game is a pipe dream.)

Also the existence of bots was clearly indicated in the OP from the beginning (on multiple places, and none of them is very hidden). The ones who joined just because it’s a BTM game and left when i mentioned bots, didn’t even bother reading the OP. (Or just didn’t care)

Do you still want to try this game with bots, or should I just cancel the game?

(There is a last option to bring it to the virtual platform, but that would need a real organising, for a game which will only last about an hour, probably, but I can’t promise it will work the way everyone wants.)

What’s the virtual platform?

I’ll play, but I have no idea how the experience would be with only 3 real players.

I’m sorry everyone.
I got ill. And getting treatment, while unemployed is a bit tricky in this country. (Or very expensive…)
[And of course i got ill, right after my unemployed insurence ended.]

I still want to rand and host this game. Even if it’s only 3 real players.

This text will be hidden

Also update for the virtual version: registration changed from invite only to open registration. (It is still in playtest, though, so I don’t garantuee anything.)

Luckily, it was (is) just a common flu, it looks like.

I’m a bit unsure how it would work with 3 players? Happy to play if other 2 want to but could be worth pushing it to a busier time?

Tbh i have no clue why all games so low last few months, does this happen every year at this time i never noticed it before lol

It’s cyclical, tbh.

But december is definetly the worst for most forums.

I’m really sorry everyone for being MIA.
My current/last job interview is/was more involved, than I expected.

I think we should stash this game for the next year. (and hopefully, I will have a job at that time.)
