Forum Games is formerly known as community projects, or games for the Blockland Forums.

1. How to make a Forum Game. First of all, have an idea of what your Forum game will be about. Also, make sure the title or the Message tells how to play.

Examples of good Forum games are:

• YOU CRINGE YOU LOOSE
• Describe the user above you
• World War RP

Examples of bad Forum Games are:

• Play this game
• POST YOUR BLOCKLAND CREATIONS!!!11
• Avatar Forum Game (REMADE)

2. Don't remake topics. By this, i mean if your forum game died out or isn't as popular, don't make a new thread for it.

Examples of this is:

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=288837.0
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=288344.0
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=288239.0

3. No Spam. Don't post non forum game threads.

Examples of unneeded topics are:

• I need help
• Chicken is delicous
• u1r8diqjorjuioafsijksipjf

4. No copying Don't copy other threads, use the search feature first.

Example of this is:

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=289562.0

5. Learn to let your thread die. In bonus to rule 2, if your thread is dying, don't constantly bump it in hopes of it becoming relevant.

Examples of this is:

im to lazy to post all the bumps this kid named racoon did.

6. Role play games. Make Roleplay games is simple. I recommend describing the main story of the role play, a character fill out list, and a organized topic. I recommend other role play threads to get a idea.

7. None of this stuff.

Quote pyramids
"Longest thread ever!" threads
"Don't post here" threads
Single letter threads
Self-declared spam threads
Count to X threads

8. NO SKIPPING PLS This is directed toward user above you games. Please don't say SKIP ME. Although it isn't ban worthy, it gets annoying and there is no reason to be skipped.

Something that could be added to Rule 4:

Use the search feature you loving stuffstain.

(but not exactly like that)

Is it only me that finds saying, "Skip me" annoying?

yeah because sometimes people are responding to someones post and not to the user above them, so they're not taking part in the game and want to be skipped so the person in front of them actually gets a response relating to the game

Yeah, but I'm talking about people who play the game and say skip me

Yes.

Depends on how much they have participated in the game.

What about stuffposting(only way I can describe it) doing unrealistic things in serious threads(Suddenly summoning Satan/Space Marines/Gaining Super Strength and that kind of BS) or generally ruining a thread and causing the OP to lock it?

Because stuff post is spam.

Because stuff post is spam.

There should probably be something added to the OP about stuffposting and causing the creator to rage-lock the thread.
