Our recently finished game was a disaster, but no worries it was simply a test OMI. If we decide to have another game, there is plenty of time to improve it. I think there were two major reasons why OMI was not as fun as it should have been. 1) lack of participation was a major problem. Alot of players did not take part in the game, often because people signed up to these forums when they didn't actually want to play at all. 2) Linked to this was a lack of communication. How can we get messages to everyone? How can we remind people to check these forums more regularly? Also of the little discussion that occurred, most of it was on skype, so that isolated some people who are not part of our skype group. So what are your thoughts? I have a few suggestions: Only those who sign the sign-up threads should be included in the games. We need to make this more clear to people however, I thought we didn't really explain that everyone needed to sign the thread and also made the error in judgement of thinking why would people sign up to this site if they didn't want to play? In fact, instead of sign up threads it may be a better idea just to send a message to everyone (somehow) asking for their participation a day or two before the game begins, rather than asking them to sign a thread they will forget about. We need active people who genuinely want to play. But I have no idea where we can find people. One possibility is that we could get in touch with the OM steam group, with whom we first played OMI. Getting the message out I don't know how to do. Messaging on skype didn't work out so great. Actually I don't even have some of you so it was chaotic, also half of you need to be linked to the OMI site. Bookmark it or something ![]() We need to be FASTER, more EFFICIENT, and more ORGANISED if we want to play this again. But who says we want to play again? Do you guys want to try again? Some players have suggested playing live OMI on skype. It is faster than forum OMI and ensures 100% participation, but obviously the games are far smaller as everyone cannot be online at the same time. I added a poll to the bottom of this thread. But how do you guys think we can improve OMI? |

I don't think that's plausible tbh. There'd be too much stuff to read through and find important things and it'd generally be awkward. I can see the advantage of using skype, because it would be brought to everyones attention, but I think if we use post we should just do it here and use Skype to inform people about beginning games and stuff. |
