Since I don't think it's in the OP yet, including the rule about an OT not going up until at most one day before release for games and one week for Off Topic would be handy.

I recall that mods seem to be more strict on the AAA type of OTs that go up to early since they turn into a mess of "hype" posts.
Other smaller titles they do not seem to mind as much if it goes up a few days ahead. Though generally its good to check ahead with a mod.
But them talking about AAA vs smaller OTs seems to be a case by case situation.

Skyrim Special Edition by Cornbread78 ( August 8th 2016 )
Oct 28th, 2016 release date
TY, BTW. Is there a process to let people know if their claim is not done correctly?
Cheers. I love Skyrim but I couldn't think of anything cool to do with this OT. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

Uggh, I may just do the standard format, but I have a couple months to experiment...

If they didnt follow the instructions on how to make a claim which is clearly posted in the OP then they did it wrong. lol

proactivity dammit, lol. I screwed that format up so many times, lol!
Nemesis does a great job updating the page (Thank you again), but to prevent issues, maybe a post quoting those that are ineligible/wrong.
Also, maybe a couple dedicated mods assigned to this thread as the "judge, jury and arbiters?" It's not like any issues have really come up (frankly, there should be a few more people making OTs) however, a couple mods assigned to this thread could be helpful to bounce Ideas/questions off of.

The mods basically left this place as "Lord of the Flies" so its up to those who are more active here to answer the general questions. Which so far has been working out fairly well for the most part.
Its actually been quite a while now since we last had an incident when Stumpokapow? had to step in and straighten things out.
The most common questions that usually come up are by people who dont use the search function asking if someone has claimed X title / subject for an OT.
There would be a lot less questions if people would just use the search function first.
Should make a general rule that those who do not follow the specified format designated by Nemesis_ do not have their claims added to the OP. Since its not rocket science and if someone is not willing to take the time to do a claim in the proper format which helps Nemesis_ update the thread, then honestly they should not be claiming an OT.
It is a simple common courtesy for Nemesis_ who takes time out of his busy schedule to keep the thread updated. There is no reason why Nemesis_ should be doing extra work due to those who are unable to read the simple set of instructions in the OP.

For the most part yeah.
The following below does need to be updated though since we have had the official statement from a mod saying that basically claims are only valid within a 1 year window and must have at least a general "projected" time frame to be able to be claimed.

I don't see it mentioned in the OP, so I would like to register my interest for Bound (PS4), which comes out here in the UK in about 12 hours.

then you should contact the person who has claimed it instead of putting out another claim

Oops, sorry about that.
Thanks for the info.

Radio the Universe by Kyonashi (15th August 2016)
Also I believe Rez Infinite was confirmed to be day-and-date with PSVR on Oct 13th, so the OP can be updated to reflect that, as I'm doing the OT for that one.

That is, unless someone's already claimed it, of course. "It" is a damn hard thing to search for.

iirc it's 3 months and/or 300 posts to become a proper member so if the 3 months is over before the game's out there's nothing standing in the way.

Alright. Thanks! What if the game's unannounced but surely coming ?
If its alright, I'd like to call dibs on the next Red Dead!

It has to be officially announced with a release date within a year, give or take a month or so.
When the time comes be sure to post your claim with the official format listed in the OP!

OMG OMG OMG Shadow Warrior 2 is going to get released this October!!! I have updated my claim already. Lads, get ready for the greatest FPS of this year and possibly this gen!
Here are the two claims just fyi: original and the second, both are updated with the release date.

I'm going to have to abandon my claim. I've lost my enthusiasm for Titanfall 2 during the recent tech test and don't feel comfortable doing the OT.

Question:
Assetto Corsa comes out 26th/30th this month on consoles and only has an old(2013) " Assetto Corsa: Early Access |OT|", no real release OT ...not even for PC.
Would it be ok, to make a ...uhmm.. "new"/real OT for the console release? The game also gets a complete UI overhaul on PC alongside the console release.

new games get a new OT, so it's always a good thing for everyone!
Just keep it simple and it opens up a discussion channel for those playing the game.
TylerDurden4321

The question was also because the game isn't really new, it has been out on PC since December 2014, but didn't have an OT for that, people kept using the Early Access OT, but there is not much going in there anymore, people tend to use the "PC racing sims" thread instead.
So the new, real OT would be for consoles and PC. Or just consoles? Is there a precedent for something like this?
Edit: I mailed the early access |OT| OP, asked for his blessing and any suggestions.
