Nothing to see here anymore, thanks for playing!

Did I get your attention? Cool.

Ok, I have a question for everybody. We all know December is an insane time of year. With the holidays, shopping, family obligations blah blah blah...game time gets crunched. My time is no exception. I have many projects going on, and I'm headed to Disney World in just 4 days. So I'm even going to be out of commission for a bit.

I do not want the Monday Morning MAME Club to go on hiatus. That would be a bad idea all around. We have a decent head of steam going right now, and I want to keep it going. However, my ability to keep even the loose schedule of getting a game up on Mondays is going to be severely hampered until January.

Here's where you come in.

I have come up with 2 ideas to keep the club chugging along throughout the month of December, and I'm going to try and add a poll to this thread so you can vote.

Option 1 is for me to choose someone whose responsibility it would be to choose a game, and post the thread on Monday. I would choose someone different for each week of the month.

Option 2 is the "Chaos Reigns" option. Everyone would send me one game option this weekend. So, everybody, PM me a game suggestion!!!!! Even if you don't vote for this!!!!! Then this coming Monday, a thread goes up with all of the games in one big post...and all the games would be up for discussion and play for the entire month. This way, there'd be a wide variety of games to play, and folks could just pop in and out whenever they could throughout the month, as a getaway from the real-life madness.

If you vote for Option 3, please reply to the thread with a better option. The poll will be open for this weekend only.

Thanks everyone for helping to make this rebirth of the Monday Morning MAME Club a success.

Voted for guest hosting, as it would be fun and create more involvement with the community overall for the month.

Mmm, live fish.

Arasoi would make an excellent guest MC.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

I'm also voting for a guest host. That is all.

[scooterb23]

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask. Who would like to host a week? As it seems that option is going to run away with things (and I think it is the best of the two options).

Arasoi looks like a popular pick. Would you be able to put one up tomorrow?

But that leaves three more weeks in the month, anyone else want to step up to the plate?

[Arasoi]

Sure, I'll post one up tomorrow to get things started.

[scooterb23]

That would be awesome. If you have any questions, just PM me, and I'll give you the info you need.

Welcome to guest host month with the MMMC!!!!!

[Gapporin]

I'll volunteer to do a guest host week if no one objects. Japanese quirkiness ahoy!

[Ed Oscuro]

I'll do a week, so long as it's not finals week (so maybe after Arasoy and The Gapper)

[scooterb23]

OK, So far the schedule sets up like this:

December 7: Arasoi
December 14: Gapporin
December 21: Ed Oscuro (if this happens to be finals week, we'll push you back to the 28th)
December 28: ???

I'll probably have some more details for you guys once I iron out a couple small things.
