Games and tournaments: projects, declarations, negotiations, voting, organizing, playing

Project process (that is possible on this blog) from creating to making it alive. Steps.

1. Create a game and/or tournament project. Useful questions to yourself - write out, check out - what do you like, what do you want?

2. Declare your projects. Write down your preferences and show them to us.

3. Negotiations. Talk about your project to others: Read what others like, want, need, prefer, think...

4. Voting. Find out community choices(preferences) within your project (within your project limits and even beyond them). (You can ask certain questions(as yes/no questions) in this blog and wait for answers, and count/analyze positive, negative or nonnegative answers.)

5. Choice. Choose one project of many possible variants, with your knowledge of community opinions(choices, ideas).

6. Organize. Prepare the project to be living. For example, find the best playing time, schedule, and announce it publicly.

7. You can use my blog:
A. As forum creating projects, getting various types of help.
B. As a project declaration board.
C. As a project discussion forum.
D. As a voting board.
E. As a certain source of knowledge and ideas.

8. Play! :)
Are your project is intended for playing?
The Project created and arranged?
Then let's play. :)

My two special offers

First offer: training

Let's play in "training mode".
Rules.

Offer or accept to "adjourn"* the game if you like to continue the game next time.
Or simply refuse to accept "takeback"* if you want to end the game. Recommendations: "set noescape off", "set autoflag off".


Second offer: semi-correspondence

Let's play semi-correspondence (e.g. chess).
