But I also don’t actually agree with those big playercounts, so I don’t know what I’m saying there.
and also why we each plan to spend several dozen hours designing this
Fair haha
I had a total blast in Alice’s Nier/Drakkengard mash a few months ago.
We may ask her for some help down the line with how to design a mash right.
Ok
Well then we’ll pursue him for our review phase then
I do think that host reputation plays into your games filling up and engagement with the game itself and you haven’t had the chance to build up a lot. That’s why I would have more concerns with this filling.
That’s fair.
Dat and I would probably be down to wait to host this until later in the spring after we’ve each hosted 2-3 other setups.
It could help or hurt depending on how those games go… 
You don’t need to convince me much, since I care more about personal circumstances whether to join or not join a game. (Although I do think about pending playerlist/game itself/host before I’d join something)
True lol but it is honestly worth the risk if we want to fill a game with this grand a scale
We might leave this to be dormant until after JJFM and LSotV are over
Idk
You don’t need to host 2-3 other games each in order to get this to fill. You don’t need to wait a month to review a setup, because most of the times if you know what you are doing when you are creating it you will have a rough sense of balance. There are some exceptions to this, but I don’t think you are going to need to review for a month to make it a good game.
To be honest, half the battle in making a setup is making it balanced and fun. The other part is convincing others to join. It’s not hard to do this, if you can reach out to others and convince them that it’s worth it. You won’t have trouble filling a game if you can persuade others, host reputation can be substituted with saying how much effort you put into this game, instead of saying look at these other balanced games I made you should join mine.

Well effort should be obvious
I put around 50 hours into making SFoL 57
I plan to put at least 100 into making this one and I know datbird plans to put in at least a few dozen
Don’t confuse effort with time spent
You are doing something wrong if you are working multiple part time minimum wage jobs instead of a full time well paying job
This isn’t saying don’t put effort into it, it’s saying plan it better so you don’t waste 100 hours of your life

Fair yeah
When you’ve already spent 30-40 hours playing through fe 4 and 5 twice each
It should be feasible to make this setup effectively in a good deal less than 100 hours
This is coming from someone who has sometimes not planned something well in graphic design class, so when I started working on something I put too much time into it, when I could have got the same quality much faster if I planned better
