What sort of games should Ludocity include? "Anything that might run at H&S/COaP"? Should it include pick-up-and-play games like we have at the Sandpit? What about board games? Should we draw a line, and if so where?

I'm not very comfortable using wiki talk pages for discussions like this - I don't know what the alternatives are, though. Some sort of comment plug-in or forum? I suppose this page will be a decent test of how we feel about using talk pages, anyway, but I do feel like we will be excluding a significant proportion of people from discussion if we do it all here. --[[User:Holly|Holly]] 09:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

: I could install [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Postcomment this extension] to replace Mediawiki's standard talk system (it would look something like [http://www.wikihow.com/Discussion:Transfer-Cassette-Tape-to-Computer this] instead). It's a tradeoff between ease of comment submission, and ease of discussion organisation - maybe that's okay if every discussion page is for a sufficiently small subject, though. But I'll see what other options are out there. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 13:40, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

==Translation==

Obviously we need to support rulesets in different languages, and translations of existing rulesets into different languages. Is it worth doing the Wikipedia subsite thing, or should we just have, eg, /Thoughtcrime/francais and /UnumLudumIucundum/english (or however it works) for now, and encourage language-specific subsites as we go along?--[[User:Holly|Holly]] 11:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

:[[Thoughtcrime (Français)]] is probably the cleanest title format. We can look at actual subsites if any particular languages seem to be really taking off. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 12:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

==Copyright stuff==

{{comment
−
At the moment we have only CC noncommercial-attribution stuff. Is this workable? Is anyone going to fiercely want to choose a different licence? What about stuff like Cruel 2 B Kind, which is "anyone can run it" but is not actually CC licensed? Does that mean we can't include it on Ludocity - which seems kind-of absurd - and if we ''can'' include it, where do we draw the line? --[[User:Holly|Holly]] 12:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

:I've added a "public domain" option ([[Help:Creating_a_game#Add_an_infobox|explained here]]) for anyone who really wants to release a game as public domain, or wants to write up and old and definitely public game.

:With not-quite-CC games, it's just up to the creator to decide whether they want to rerelease it as CC AT-NC, or as public domain. I'm not sure where we should go if a creator doesn't want to do either of those - we could still have a page describing the game and collecting photos and player reports, but I'm not sure how much we want to encourage pages that don't tell you how to play the game yourself. (Even if we did do that, it seems inevitable that someone would ask "So, what are the rules?" on the talk page, and someone else would tell them.) --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 12:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

==Parlor Games List?==
 +
 +
{{oldheader}}
 +
 +
I'm not sure what to call what I'm trying to do right now (hence the '?' in the subject), but I want to make a list of all pervasive-esque games that are played in what I'm calling "parlor-style." Games that have already made my list are:
 +
 +
*Mafia/Werewolf/Red Scare (All the same game with different themes)
 +
*Capetown
 +
*The Resistance
 +
*The Things
 +
*Grand Emperor
 +
*Standoff
 +
*Hermit's House
 +
*The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen
 +
 +
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

*Standoff
 +
*Capetown

*Grand Emperor

*Ponzi!

Thanks for the suggestions, Holly. I've always wanted to play The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen (minus all the stupid alcoholic, sexual, or racist fluff)... So basically, the game can be played without all that anyway - it's just a storytelling game.
 +
 
 +
So I guess the only games I need to "relook into" are:

Ponzi!

I think Kevan has a game on his website (www.kevan.org) that would fit in this category. --[[User:Peads|Peads]] ([[User talk:Peads|talk]]) 2009-07-31 11:51:30

Parlor Games List?

Old forum comments

(The Ludocity website previously had integrated forums, but they fell into spam-covered decline and were shut down in 2015. The comments in this section have been automatically converted from that forum.)

I'm not sure what to call what I'm trying to do right now (hence the '?' in the subject), but I want to make a list of all pervasive-esque games that are played in what I'm calling "parlor-style." Games that have already made my list are:

  • Mafia/Werewolf/Red Scare (All the same game with different themes)
  • Capetown
  • The Resistance
  • The Things
  • Grand Emperor
  • Standoff
  • Hermit's House
  • The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

NOTE: I'm currently reading through the games listed on Ludocity, and I'll post games that fit the list as I find them. In the meantime, feel free to tell me games (even if they're on here) to look at. Thanks! --BigBur (talk) 2009-07-13 22:08:48
