The Cat Lady is very easy and most people seem to play the week worth in a couple of days, so I’d think people can spare time for casual playthrough too. Though I’m not really a regular in casual playthroughs.

I would like to agree, but I cant. When the suggestion for the next AGCPT came up, I suggested taking a break. TimovieMan was the only one that agreed. I can only extrapolate that there is never going to be a break in the AGCPT. So waiting for one, which will allow for a three-week casual playthrough to slip between the cracks isn’t going to happen.

Either there will be enough people willing to play both at the same time or we just fold the concept until there is a lull in the AG arena.

Edit: The CCPT must stand on its own. It can’t depend on whatever else is happening. That is a retraction of what I said in the first message.

I’m available.

Actually, the nomination and voting process between the AGCPTs takes about two-three weeks, so I kinda like Becky’s suggestion.

Having said that, I give the casual CPT priority when participating (because I can more easily fit in half-hour sessions than longer sessions, and I’m more reluctant to take a smaller session for an AG than for a casual).
In other words, I’m available, as I’d only risk falling behind in the regular CPT instead of this one.

I also have time for a new CCPT.

Regarding Becky’s suggestion, then there is as such nothing wrong with it, but I don’t think the CCPT schedule should depend on the schedule of the AGCPT. If they end up overlapping each other, then so be it, and for me personally, the pace is slow enough that I can participate in both at the same time.

OK! I guess there are enough players to make this a go.

Following are the games that received at least one vote for the last playthrough. None are nominated for this round until somebody does so. Based on comments, I wager that TimovieMan will nominate F.A.C.E.S. which I will volunteer to lead.

Lost Lands - The Four Horsemen
9: The Dark Side
Nightmare Adventures - Witches Prison
F.A.C.E.S
Depths of Betrayal
Rite of Passage - Child of the Forest
Namariel Legends: Iron Lord

Some of these games, similar to S2 on the AGCPT voting thread, seem to live forever without ever making it to the finals. I plan to nominate some newer games. I hope that others who have recently played something that they’ve fallen in love with will do the same.

Based on the Casual Friday posts, I’d like to nominate Shiver - Poltergeist, Calavera - Day of the Dead and Surface: The Noise She Couldn’t Make. Unless the more experienced players here feel that Shiver and Surface require back-to-back CPTs of two games in the series???

And I’d like to vote for 9: The Dark Side, Depths of Betrayal, and I’ll raise both my hands when voting for F.A.C.E.S. in the hopes that my vote counts double.

Casual Friday is a hell of a thing.

Voting/Nominations as of June 18

2 Shiver - Poltergeist Tim (leader), TimovieMan
2 Calavera - Day of the Dead TimovieMan, Tim
2 F.A.C.E.S. TimovieMan, Tim
1 Surface: The Noise She Couldn’t Make Timovieman
1 9: The Dark Side TimovieMan
1 Depths of Betrayal TimovieMan
1 Lost Lands - The Four Horsemen Tim

There should be no concern about the need to play the Shiver and Surface games back to back. Two totally different game series. I know I said I would lead F.A.C.E.S., but I noticed that Lady K had offered to lead it during voting for the last CCPT. I’m her backup if she has changed her mind. I’m willing to lead some of the others, but would like to see if someone wants to step up first.

I meant two Shiver games or two Surface games back-to-back, of course.

Unlike the Enigmatis games that had the same characters, or the Dire Grove games that had different characters, but shared the same location, neither the Shiver games nor, particularly the Surface games share game-to-game continuity.

I vote for Shiver - Poltergeist and F.A.C.E.S.
