Let's Play Archive, Claims and Rules ver. 4.0 - Read Before Posting!
Claiming: To claim a game simply make a post in this thread saying you will be playing the game. Once you have made your claim, you may begin your LP. After you have created a thread, you must PM the LP Moderator (Falselogic) with a link to your LP in the body of the PM. You may not claim a game that is currently being LPed. Once the current LP of the game you would like to do is finished, and if you feel you have something to add, you may, using the claim process described above, LP that game. Your claim does not reserve the game for you. If someone else wishes to LP that game and they post a claim and start a thread before you do, you are out of luck. Forum users are encouraged to only make claims for games which they plan on LPing immediately.
Playing: No two threads of the same game active at the same time. No brutally violent and/or pornographic games. What constitutes a brutally violent and/or pornographic game is wholly up to the discretion of the LP Moderator. Updating: Update speed is at your personal discretion, however active LPs that aren't updated for two months will be moved to the On Hiatus list, and those that don't update in six will be declared Abandoned. Adoption: Prospective LPers are allowed to approach a LPer about taking over an On Hiatus thread, though at that point it's still the decision of the On Hiatus LPer to hold onto his claim or go ahead with switching over. Abandoned threads may be adopted at any time. It is still nice to ask, though. PM The LP Moderator (Falselogic) and let them know you are taking over an Abandoned LP (provide the link). If you are not continuing the LP in the original thread you must PM a link to the new thread to the LP Moderator. Format - LP's follow the same rules regardless of the format used, screenshot, video, hybrid, text, or other. Each game will have its own thread. Megathreads – There are two dedicated LP megathreads. One for screenshot LPs and one for video LPs. Generally, these threads are reserved for games or parts of games, that can be completed in very few posts or for games the LPer feels do not require their own thread. The do not have a queue or sign up. If you wish to post an LP in either thread please make sure that the previous LPer is finished. If you wish to make a Megathread for a franchise you are playing through or a collection of similarly related games the process is the same for normal LPs (see Claiming above.) NOTE: A megathread dedicated to, for example, the NES Castlevanias, does not prevent others forum users from doing their own concurrent LP of the various NES Castlevanias. User Megathreads from Let’s Play Talking Time v3.0 will be locked and links to them will be provided in the first post of the new Video Megathread. Unauthorized threads: Threads for which the Moderator does not have a PM will be locked. They will be unlocked once a PM has been sent. LPers who continually fail to send a PM will not be permitted to create LPs. Finally, exceptions can be made to the rules, depending on the situation. However exceptions will be given or denied on request only (meaning PM the LP Moderator. Don't assume exceptions will be given based on past events.) No exception should be taken as a modification to the rules unless stated otherwise. If you have any questions regarding the technical aspects of LPing (such as recording video LPs, running emulators, etc.), please direct them to the technical thread. Have a question not answered here? Shoot the LP Moderator a PM or post your question here and they will try and get back to you as soon as possible.

... I think I'll renovate the Microgames thread next; the rules could use a quick edit, and the table of contents could use an update. After that? Hmm... there's still a bunch of stuff to do, it's hard to decide. |

I mentioned this near the end of the last thread, but since that seems to be replaced with this, I'll mention it again for posterity.
Ganbare Goemon 2 is finished, and while I'd like to do Ganbare Goemon 3 it probably won't be until early next year sometime. February or March. If that's too far in advance for now, I'll just keep an eye for the schedule to get that far. |

I'm gonna go on and declare my Dragon Warrior II LP as abandoned, if anyone wants to take over. I'm still feeling the Dragon Quest burnout; just can't get up the enthusiasm after all those hours spent collecting costumes for my dolls armor for my party members in Dragon Quest IX. -_-;
I'm gonna work on finishing my Survival Kids LP before I even consider another queue or claim spot. At least as far as getting one of the ancient ship endings, which is pretty much the official end of the game. There's still a bunch of alternate endings to go, but a couple of those are really grindy. |

I'm wondering if there should be a system for reserves to expire after a few years. I remember some time you contacted everyone to confirm their interest but it's been a while and I imagine there's a lot of forgotten claims bogging down the list again. Maybe set it so a claim sits for one year and then a PM is sent to confirm... and if a second year goes by it defaults back to public domain? With a clause for if someone is working their way through an entire series so there's no concern about having to rush to keep the later games claimed. Similarly when someone's going to do a sequel as soon as someone else finishes the previous game.

I think my favourite part about LoD was how it boasts that it took "3 years to make" on the back of the case. Apparently those three years did fuck-all to make it fun! Didn't stop me from 100% completing it twice, though. Yeesh. |

See, while I've 100%'d FFX-2, I've never finished LoD. I've gotten close, I think, but it's been years.
I think part of my problem is I focused on grinding combo attacks. That is the fastest way to kill the enthusiasm in playing through the game. Plus, the combos are totally bonkers weird. |

What's the rule-of-thumb over on Something Awful? Three monthes? Six? They've locked their forums behind a paywall again, so I've no idea what they have set up right now. Quote:

I did consider that and decided:
- There doesn't seem to be much interest in playing this game, at least not here, and a LP might bring attention to it, and - I won't be racing through it super fast (having a small child underfoot constantly), so the LP won't be spoiling the ending any time soon. I would like to do RF3 some day but DS emulation doesn't seem to be good enough to handle it yet. |

Hello there! I'd like to claim a spot in December for The Genius of Sappheiros. If someone wants one of the earlier spots in December, that's fine, I'm fine with being knocked back a bit. Gives me more time to mentally prepare.

Any December claim can start any time in the month. Most people seem to start their LPs right at the beginning of the month for which they made a claim, but you could wait until New Year's Eve to start your thread if you really wanted to (not that that's recommended).

Becuase of continued issues with my PSP I'm backing out of the Disgaea claim [for now]. Instead I ask to LP Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. I've asked Kala and got an okay, just wanted to get a date incase there are too many lps going already

Currently working on the first update of The Genius of Sappheiros (the introduction has been annoying to work with), but I'd like to reserve another game because the idea occurred to me: The Dark Spire.
