Make sure that you are presenting a professional and appropriate ethos as a host to your audience. No one wants to invest their time in a game if they do not feel the host is competent or going to reciprocate the effort.
Please read and follow these guidelines before you submit your thread:
- Even if the theme of your game is illiteracy, your setup is expected to follow the conventions of proper English grammar. Exceptions will be granted only to non-native English speakers.
- Your setup is formatted in such a way that it is pleasant to the eyes and mind of your audience and helps them better understand the nuances of your game.
- You have fulfilled every requirement according to this guide: Cryptonic's Hosting Guide
- All special mechanics are thoroughly explained so that there is no confusion to prospective Forum Mafia players.
- Proofread your thread. Everyone makes mistakes, and proofreading is a great way to catch some obtrusive ones before publishing.
The first times someone visits the site, they will most likely look at the FM section. Professional-looking setups and host posts can definetly make people interested in playing your games; demonstrating proper host ethos is a great way to catch a curious reader's attention.
Finally, these guidelines should not be oppressive to your creativity as a host, but rather complement it!
