Supporting New Games

[Steel God]

There has been a discussion recently amongst the Staff about adding a new game to the list that is supported here at the Blitz. It starte out in the usual manner; "Hey, a few guys are playing game X. What do you say we add it to the ladder." And that inevitably leads to follow on discussion of what ladder to host it on, or should it be on it's own ladder, how should we score it, etc etc. After weeks of discussion someone says, you know, other than a handful of guys I don't know how many people would really play game X. And the idea slides off the radar scoope (at least for now).

But all that got me thinking. We certainly don't mind adding new games. But it's also not an easy thing to just set one up either. Oh the mechanics of setting it up is easy, but making sure it meshing with the ladder system is a big issue, and finding the right people to run it if it merits a new ladder is another big issue. So, before embarking down that path it would be nice to know what new games people would like to see added. I know there are some scattered threads in various forums, but instea of hunting for them, I thought I'd just post here, in a central area, and people can discuss new games they'd like to be able to play here. If a subject takes off that lets us know we need to give serious thought to adding it.

So having said that.......fire away.
