It's already claimed, why don't you check the OP?

Why is it so hard?
I did look at the OP and tried doing a search for xeno, and it didn't show up for some reason - also since the OP is a little messy, its hard to see all the titles. Hopefully there is a table or something better to help organize and streamline this all.

Do we have to make request for community threads? I want to make a Paragon one since I don't see one here.

Why's it have to be tracked if it's going to be posted in a day or two? Seems like needless busy work.

If you call my OP messy you're going to bed without dinner.

Do we have a gaming PC/laptop recommendation thread?
Do a search.I don't know. We don't keep track of what threads exist here.

That's why I'm never adding those claims.

Would it make sense to make a OT for MMORPG games in general?


I think that the way a lot of us play MMORPGs have changed. Many MMOs are F2P and allow people to much more easily to bounce from game to game, being semi-active in dozens of MMOs at the same time. As a result, we see more fragmentation in helping people to find each other.
The rise of console MMORPGs have also helped bring us to this point.

If we had a general MMORPG thread, it would be easier to find people to play with and suggest others to jump into more niche and older MMOs. Some of the older MMOs are not popular enough to sustain their own OTs, but a community thread that represents a bunch of still-relevant MMOs could help make for a situation where people can find each other.

Finally, I also think we have to stop the notion that people can only be focused on one MMO and not others. A lot of the gameplay loops in most MMOs now have reduced time investments to embrace casual gaming. This allows you to have meaningful success even with limited time, and as a result you can devote time to more than one game.

Some of the bigger games like WoW, Warframe and Path of Exile will of course have their own OTs, but for all the niche titles, a main MMO OT, that also tries to keep up to date with the current state of many MMO titles, as well as upcoming patches and expansions, and upcoming games. I think it could be a big benefit.

Just to clarify, the rules say "OTs for games should not go up more than 72 hours before launch." Since the game I reserved a thread for comes out this Friday, I can post the thread today?

be reasonable about it ...it makes little sense to post an OT three days before release when the game is not high profile and the thread would just be tumbleweeds until it's out.

[ETC] ERA FILM OF ALL ERAS |OT| Voting Thread by Bromancer (November 15, 2017)
Thread will be posted as soon as possible.

Just thought I'd put this out here. Armored Ape and I would like to do an All-Time Film ballot in the same way GOTY threads are presented. Ape actually posted a thread like it last week with a minimal OP and it didn't get a lot of people to join in because, to be frank, it didn't seem like he was serious about it. So I got excited and worked with him to up the production values, as well as explaining clearly what the rules are and to what ends we're going to present interesting results (we're gonna make it look cool, promise!).

We'd like to use the |OT| moniker to get some attention from people who may have dismissed the older thread, so that's why I'm asking. :)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| by Toon Link (15/11/2017)
I'll have it posted by the 17th November.

Wasn't sure if it was necessary to claim for games that have already been released, but just making sure.

Edit: Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it done today due to unforeseen circumstances. I should have it up by the end of the weekend.

I'll have the OT for Skyrim Switch up tonight. I ended up being a lot bussier this week then I thought I would but I'll have it up before the US launch.

Searched this thread, searched both halves of gaming - I didn't see that the DS Collecting, Appreciation, and Nostalgia thread has been brought over. Not looking to claim (can't create one anyway), but I'm hoping that comes over.

Despite the fact that Luulu said she'd post it for me, my previous claim was ignored. Today news has dropped of a solid release date early next year, by which time I will no longer need a proxy-poster. So I am here once more to lay a claim for:

Girls Und Panzer: Dream Tank Match by Echo (11/18/2017)
Feb. 22nd (JP) TBD (Asia-English)

Not ignored, overlooked. Your team-up discussion got lost in the shuffle. If you sort this out throughout several posts, please just repost the claim so I'll see it again.

I'll throw it in with the next update.

You have to understand that this stuff is volunteer and we have a lot to do we moderaate here and give indications of what to do and how to do it, I did offer my help as designer but not as the poster, since you can do it yourself have fun and tone down this attitude for the future, we are pretty much 2 people helping others and this kind of messages are out of boundaries.

Er, that wasn't "attitude" but uh, I suppose next time I could use a not so serious tone?

This was your original post to me.
Do you want to team up me and you to produce it? Or me to claim it etc.

And I did reply (#404), thinking that I could make the OT and then PM it to you for posting. Your wording/intent is a bit weird there, and I don't mean that offensively, so you'll have to forgive my confusion. Or not. Either way, the matter is settled now. :)

And I can help with both, but you gotta understand this is volunteer and some stuff could get lost, no need to such serious tone and uncalled attitude, good luck with your future claims, looking foward to see them.

It looks like the list is a mix of titles that are colored black and some that are white. At least on the dark theme?
but they're not.

everything is exactly the same.

edit: oh god what the hell is this. the forum formatting is fucking up baaaaaaaaad. color formatting is fucked, selecting "none" gets completely ignored.
edit2: just had to fix everything by hand in the bbcode editor because the color selections get completely ignored by the editor...

God damn you, Yunyo! I thought it was too early to claim, then someone told me it wasn't, and you got it already! I'm expecting greatness.

My headers will be as beautiful as can be, though I usually aim for my OTs to be mostly text so that it is easier for both mobile and desktop users to read. I'll do my best...
