I know I already claimed the OT for Brigandine on the same day, but it's not my fault 3 of my favourite Japanese Voice Actors are in two games that come out in the same day.
I have the week off, so I'm confident I can work on both. If anyone wants to help or take over, I'll part with them of course. Just really want to highlight these games, I'll definitely be playing both.

[ETC]Lego© Super Mario™ - 8-bit Bricks by Barrel_Roll (7/20/20)
The first Lego Mario sets release in a little under two weeks (8/1/20). I think it would be cool to have a separate thread for people to show off their sets, customs builds, ideas for future sets, etc. Open for suggestions on a better OT name.

challenge: come up with a reference to this:
N&B Block
N&B Blocks() are toys that Nintendo created in 1968 to compete against the popular LEGO brand. Several different sets were released in the 1960s that proved to be very popular. Nintendo aired advertisements comparing LEGO bricks to N&B Blocks that showcased how attractive their circular pieces...

why not just rework it but post a fresh one? that way you avoid possible spoilers and early page bloat
oh right, good idea. will do that and call it OT2. thank you :)
can i do this solo pls, i have a really cool idea for the thread and i don't want to do a back and forth with two other ppl on it
OP
OP
difficult call ...I can see various scenarios make sense with these interactive drama games (excuse the forced genre descriptor, you know what I mean).
- 1 OT for everything: easy to manage, bad for non-day-1 latecomers since they have to sift through what can only be spoiler-heavy talk, even with tags used to obscure actual plot/character events
- 1 OT + 1 spoiler thread: you still maintain one thread for basic info setup, and discussing mechanical things but separate out the plot/character talk into its own thread that will always be full-spoilers for the latest episode as it hits.
- 1 OT per episode: you avoid the problem with new players jumpin into the middle of spoiler talk but with the planned frequency you'll end up three OTs for the same game running concurrently. However, you get the benefit of openly talking about the events from the previous episode in the OT of the subsequent one without needing to dance around everything so anyone starting to play once those are out would find their way into those OTs. You'd need to make that structure extra clear in the title (nobody reads the OP) and the OP itself, right at the very top that this is a three-way OT per episode
- 1 OT per episode + an overall spoiler thread: same as above but you have a thread for the big picture talk, as not to off-load that all onto the episode 3 OT
but if they really plan to have these out weekly(??) then you lose the necessity for multiple threads after those three weeks as it's then just a normal complete game.
I think I'm currently leaning towards the idea of 1 OT + spoiler thread where you have a very very strict no-spoiler policy (past the first ep) in the OT for the first three weeks until all eps are out and you can treat it like a normal game. I may also just look at this in a needlessly complicated way...
tl;dr
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Three separate OTs seems like overkill, depending on how many people post and given that all the episodes will be out in a very short space of time. Personally I'd stick with one thread and use threadmarks to define when each episode is out. During the week everything is spoiler tagged, but after the week is up only major spoilers need tags (It's a DONTNOD game so that'll probably mean the ending of each episode. Keep it loose, people will know what the major spoilers are.)
Looking forward to the OT whatever you decide!
