The Battle for Hollywood:

Well, with Table Top ending, the time has come to put up sign-ups for my next game. So it looks like there’s not much interest in True Blood, so I’ll do something a bit more mainstream and accessible. The concept is fairly simple, and hopefully I’ll be able to do multiple takes on this concept.

So here’s the deal. Everyone playing sends me a list of five actors or actresses. I will choose a role that they have played in film or television. A couple notes:

-If you have no preference, simply send it in your role request pm.
-You may not request a certain role, only an actor/actress.
-You may unrequest two roles per actor/actress. For example, you like Leonardo Dicaprio but don’t want to be the guy from Titanic or SHutter Island, that’s fine.
-Please include at least one actor and one actress. It makes for better creativity on my part.
-If this seems familiar, I’m kind of mashing up concepts I’ve seen games I’ve played in, but fairly certain this particular one hasn’t been done in a long time, if at all.

Looking at the calendar, my target start date is Friday, May 20th, with sign-ups open through Wednesday, May 18th. Hoping for a lot of players, but I will play with what I have. So without further ado, who’s in?

Movie games tend to be fun, and it's been a while since the last one.

I really feel the need to sign up for this. I've got to win an IR game.

I am on summer break so I should be cool to play as long as it doesn't run into the end of July :cool:

Heh, why do you think I'm modding and not playing?

That's why he keeps letting me play. I make everybody look that much better.

9 players is a start, more is better. Come on, twil be fun. I've got an overactive imagination.

Seriously, only 10 people want to play this?

Well, haven't bumped in awhile, so bump.

Ok, am I that bad of a mod? Did I personally offend a bunch of people? Is the theme just bad? I'm trying to understand why so many other games fill up so fast and I can barely get any players. If I suck at this, I can stop, but I'd like to contribute.

I think you just happened to open it up at a time when sign-ups were being wonky/hectic/etc as you're known for good games and the theme is usually quite popular.

Time for my weekly bump. I don't want to start with 11 players, but I figure I can and if I do a good enough job, people will come and play in the next one. Also planning to link some samples of my writing to the first post in this thread so you all can see some of my finer work. The links are just blocked at my office. So without further ado, bump.

I hate to say this, but I will probably need to drop. I have things coming up that will make me very sparse over the next month, so it wouldn't be fair to you to have me. If you haven't started yet when things settle, I will sign back up.

I don't watch much TV and am not much into acting sorry. I would play otherwise.

In addition, I think that any game where you need to submit your entry is another loophole that could turn people off.

Valid point. I guess I should add that if you're fine with any actor in any role, you can simply state that. I have a couple signed up who didn't request roles, so I'm taking that as a blank slate. I appreciate the input, but you should play. You tend to do well in my games, all two of them.

Really? Because I've noticed games where you "choose" or "request" usually get quite a few hits - e.g.: Stranger's Hybridity games.

Yea, see MSU's Disney game that he wanted to keep small...

On the other hand, there's stan's attempt at Best of II, that got... half a dozen signups?
I think it depends a little on the complexity of the submission - picking one guy for Disney 9.5 is easier than picking five actors and possibly unrequesting some roles here.

Eh your roles are always lots of fun... Why not.

Alright, last call. I will close signups on Wednesday morning when I get to work and finish parceling and flavoring roles.
