I would like to suggest that a new rule should be added to the Forum Games rules. You'll notice that quite a few games are only duplicates of other games that have already been running, which has just been cluttering up that forum rather than improving it. I'm sorry, but I don't see the point in having the "Epic Fail" game, the "Ban" game, and the "Facepalm" game all running concurrently when they're almost exactly the same, as well as having two Hurt/Heal games, when mine was running perfectly fine. I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to see more variety rather than copies of running games.
 
My two cents:
  • Keep the Ban game. It's popular and people really like it. Plus, it was created long, long before before it's clone, the face palm game.
  • Drop the Facepalm Game. It's just a copy of my game, the Ban game, with different words at the beginning of sentences.
  • Drop the Hurt/Heal game, but keep ST17's. He came up with the idea first, so he should keep his thread and all rights to the idea.
  • Drop the Epic Fail game. Need I give reasons why?

The staff is doing an excellent job at keeping the Game Corner in shape, the only problem is that the members don't think before the create their game.
 
Wait? So because we have one game, we can't have another that is sort of similar?

My H&H Game is much different than his.

H&H should stay, because its really fun the way pokeman99 runs it
See??

People like my thread more than S17's.

Why should it be closed? It's running fine.
 
Yeah, I think that having one H&H done by region and one by type is definitely a change and makes it more fun

why do you insult people threads, darklucario!

Because there's many reasons to insult your threads.

Because when every other game is nearly an exact replica of the game posted before it, the Game Corner gets old fast. I wish people came up with more creative games and not over 9000 different fail games.

Yeah, and P99 didn't even rip off ST17! P99 ripped off a thread Joeypals!! made in another Forum!
Hehehe. Still a ripoff dude.
Wrong. I talked to Joey and he said I could use it. I also changed the logistics of it a little.
 
@Pokemon99 - You mean thefleeee likes your thread, and he didn't even necessarily say it was better than SinnohTrainer's. No offense (it looks very fun, I plan on joining) but maybe you should have at least waited until S17's was finished.

@antler - I saw no insults. What he said was true, for the most part. Most people agree.
 
Lugia, his was going to take about another 750 posts, I wan't going to wait that long. If it was just starting... Then it might have been different.
 
I think the 2nd H/H should stay, BUT ONLY because the first one is about to end.

However, I do find it rude that someone would copy a game in the first place without asking permission.

I say end the faceplam game, end the epic fail game, and seriously, end the ban game. It might as well be called the 'lets spam' game. Thats my opinion.
 
I don't see how my game (If that's what you are talking about) Was copying. I got the idea from Joeypals, who I talked to, and he said I could use it. I didn't go: Oh! A H&H Game! I'm gonna make one to copy his!
 
Thanks dmaster. :]

You game has the same title and says 'the classic with a twist.' You obviously realize just like everyone else that it is a branch of the original, making it a copy.
Joey has nothing to do with the H/H. SinnohTrainer17 made the original. Who cares if Joey gave you permission.
 
I'll just post some of my quick thoughts here.

I don't think there should be a "single owner of a kind of thread". Unless they're like exactly the same. Silly stupid stuff that are trying too hard to be like something already big and that has been around for years is not the same. I don't think that every game made should be gotten "permission". You're making this Forum too serious when that's the whole opposite point of why we implemented rules making it resemble something like we once had.

dmaster out.
 
By the way, like I said before, I think both H/Hs should stay, because they are both different enough to stay appealing, and one is almost over. All I was arguing for is the fact that they are both games that branch from the same idea.

@Hypnotic: That has nothing to do with Pokebeach.
 
Hurt and Heal should have a limit to how many because they can be very different. To me, YPPYs don't matter that much and really don't need ownership because there isn't really a GM and no one who runs the thread.

EDIT: I cannot remember, but for some reason I remember Ice running Hurt and Heal originally.
