Subject: "Forum Games" - A Bungie Community Forum Idea

I've seen a lot of "forum games" in private groups. My question is would you like to have an entire public forum devoted to "forum games"? Would Bungie allow it? And what type of game would you post.

Your thoughts?

It'd be a forum full of spam and popularity contests. Bad idea. You could make a private group dedicated to that and have the same effect, but a whole forum wouldn't really work.

Eh. You're probably right. My bad.

Last time I checked you could have forum games but they are only in the flood.

You can.
But they only stay open at the discretion of the mods. It's purposely a grey zone where they make the judgement on whether it goes locked or unlocked.

Yeah, that was my thought process exactly. I just haven't looked at the rules since they were updated.

Private group will do the trick. Besides, so many good suggestions, what ever gets added?

Whoo.

Why would you even want a forum game?
Usually after the sixth post they're no longer entertaining; which, in tern, invalidates the whole purpose of the forum game; they're just boring wastes of time.

I don't think that Forum games really have a place here on the main boards. Not that I don't enjoy a few every once in a while, I just fear the place getting overrun by them. And bad ones, yeech.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

The problem I have with Forum Games is the amount of trolls that post in them. You can't have a decent Forum Game without some troll coming in and posting something stupid or irrelevant, resulting in the thread being locked.

Whatever happened to the "No fun" rule concerning forum games?

Replaced with the "some fun, but not too much now or you'll get sick" rule.

A forum not about games, but a forum for games.

Well true there will be trolls and spam. They're everywhere regardless private or public.

I just thought as a community and for those that like them, we could have an entire forum dedicated to forum games where you can suggest new ideas while being able to participate in them.
