Help! Game Request FAQ

Thanks, I'll do that.

Is the only way to make folders is to be a CS?
EDIT: If so once I make someone a co-dm can I remove them as a dm?

[Kuma]

part 1: if you're a CS or a member with over a thousand posts and have gamed with us for six months or longer;

part 2: I believe it is Easy to create Co-DM's, but it requires a PM to staff to request a Co-DM be removed.
Yep:

 

Adding & Removing Game Moderators (DMs)
You can have up to 5 additional moderators in your game. Currently, 'DMs', or moderators can only be added to a game forum by an existing DM. To add a DM, you'll need to navigate to your Dungeon Master Control Panel. From there, click on View Details for the game you would like to add a DM to. There will be a link in that details page to add a new DM!

If you need to remove a moderator from your game forum, you will need to PM an Administrator.

And chances are we'll take your folder away with the co-dm if you abuse things like that.

You could just post a thread on the DMs Seeking Players forum, just add "checking interest" to the title or something like that. People will provide feedback. Though this wasn't the right place to ask that kind of question I guess

[Sedracus]

Or: You could go to the DM Screen.

Or: Discuss it in Grrr. But be ready for the topic to be changed.

I requested a game but never clicked on the advert now option and have since updated the information several times and tried to get an advert by choosing the option and updating then. No advert occurs and there is no option that I can find that allows me to delete that request for a game and re do it to get an advert up.

There was no option available to delete under the question mark or the edit option. Is it located somewhere else?

Edit: Is there an admin that can force the advert to occur though a delete option would still be a good idea.

Thanks

Ok I requested another game with a variation in the name, (with the advert now checked) and still the advert option did not happen. Any further games been put on temporary hiatus or am I bugged in a serious fashion? Some help here would be appreciated, just want to get this game up and running.

Thanks
V

Situation rectified. Thanks Sedracus and TheChuck.

Would someone please change my Game Ad Prefix to 3.5dnd? Thanks a bunch.

I requested a game six days ago and have quite a number of applicants in the corresponding advertisement thread, but the game has not yet been approved. Did I miss a step, are approvals backlogged, or is there an issue with my game?

Edit: Game has been approved. Thanks!

[Naturax]

Sorry if this has already been explained somewhere, but I'm confused about how to get my game application thread turned into a game forum. Do I update my game request with the list of selected players?

EDIT: Turns out an admin had to create the game forum for me. I'm taken care of now, thanks!

I have tried to create an advertisement thread to seek players for a game I want to run but it tells me I don't have permission to do this... Is there some reason that my account is denied this privileged?

First, go to the Tools dropdown menu at the top fo your screen, right above the small PM section saying Welcome.

Second, click the Request a Game option.

 

Third, fill in the form - note that the Game Name will be the name of the folder.

 

Fourth, click "request game" at the bottom of the form - you will be taken to a screen confirming that your game has been requested, and you'll receive a PM with a link to your advert thread, if you selected the option for an advert thread to be made. One of the moderators assigned to game creation will check out your request in the next day or so and either accept it for creation or give you some feedback on what you need to do to get the request accepted.

After you have requested your game, click on the "Dungeon Master Control Panel" button in the Tools dropdown menu to view the current status of your current and requested games, where you can view the details, edit them, or - if you're a CS or a member with over a thousand posts and have gamed with us for six months or longer - you can add and edit folders in your games

That's the way it works, folks!

I have done that part but I still cant create an advertisement to find players.
