Community Carnage - How often would you want one?

As a Mentor (New term for Organizer), we decided to go with one every two weeks to keep up activity. Every week just starts to diminish the meaning of the regularly scheduled Carnages. That doesn't apply to special events and what not though, so in reality it's probably around one carnage every one-two weeks.

Definitely weekly. That way a lot more people have a chance to join in the fun because they won't have to wait a whole month if the chosen game is not in their repertoire, or doesn't interest them. As for that losing the magic stuff, I disagree. You're only playing one game a week. Each week will feature a different game, different people, and a different experience. So I don't think any magic will be lost.

Weekly fo sho

weekly = makes them lose their magic erry fortnight is good

[quote]The downside is of course, that if the Carnage is held in a game you don't have or don't want to play, you have to wait another month to join another carnage.[/quote] That sums it up for here and is why I voted for weekly. More games, more participation more activity. Just throwing an idea out there: have rotations per game, once a month. For example you'd have 4 "main games" that you keep in the rotation, but if you'd like to throw in another game to try out as a carnage game, you can do that at your leisure. Basically it's have a "template" to go to when you're not sure what to play for the next week. [quote]Ex: Halo (3/Reach/4/Wars/Anniv) is 1st week of every month Minecraft is 2nd week of every month Battlefield is 3rd week of every month Gears of War (3/Judgement) is 4th week of every month[/quote] That way it's easier for people to know when a particular carnage is coming up, and whoever hosts the carnages has a clear indication of when they need to get things together and new ideas for the next one. You can still throw other games in there like League of Legends, Starcraft, Call of Duty, Bioshock etc, but I think having a set form of "main games" might work. Take it or leave it, just throwing ideas out there.

I like weekly. There is no way that I would make every week's game. But, I could probably make one or two a month. If once a month, too easy to miss gaming several months in a row. At least twice monthly. An idea: Take the two most common times ppl can make it, and alternate weekly between the two. Would come to something simple like 1st and 3rd weekends a month on Friday nights, 2nd and 4th weekends on Sunday Afternoon.
