Upick

[Poriomania]

Would a uPick be possible to run as a S-FM? Considering making it my next S-FM, since Post Restrictions didn't work out so well.

Essentially, what I'm doing is having players that presign or sign send me a name of anything (James Bond, The Doctor, any forum member, Quantum Physics, etc) and I generate a role based on the name. I then make a setup based on what everyone has told me and post the roles list and stuff.

As long as the roles list is posted after you've received all the names, I'm OK with this.

Thanks!

Would you allow me to post signups ~earlyish (making people send in names), then have me make the roles list and then shipping the setup over to you?

Ideally I would like to have 13 players /presigned so I can make the setup while people are waiting, but that can be a tall order.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea, because we can't directly pinpoint when the game will start. The problem that causes is that player won't know when the game is started, and you will go through work to create roles for people who may not be able to participate in the game when you're ready to start it.

What were you thinking as "earlyish"?

Probably when my game is next on the queue and while an ongoing S-FM is running. I see that Killing Game and Pair of Killers are next up on the queue, and when both of those are running I can post "signups" to get players to send in their character names to me.

I just need time for players to send in their names and me to generate a setup. I can generate a setup within two-three days as long as all character names are in.

Oh, yea, something like that should be OK. I'll let you know when I'm considering approving the next (your) game, and then you can preemptively post signups. However, you can't host your game until it's approved. It'd probably give you about 2-5 days, depending how fast signups roll in.

Great. Thanks!
