So I'd love to host a bunch of Game Nights in my groups...

...But I suck at throwing them. So I thought I'd appeal to the Bungie Community at large for advice. What do you guys do to make your game nights successful? There are at least two or three private groups that I'd love to spur activity in, but I am hesitant to take the initiative when my previous attempts have mildly resulted in failure. In particular, I find setting a solid time and date that everyone can meet at to be rather difficult. Do you just set a solid time and date and hope people show up? How lenient should you be with adjusting the event if people say they can't make it? Do I just need to schedule the game night super far in advance? It seems to be my biggest difficulty, though general advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance, hopefully we can all learn something from this.

  • From my very little experience and observations in setting up game nights, I've noticed the general idea is to be organized, firm but open to change. And my rule-of-thumb would be to keep your plans static for a week before the planned game night, at least. For example, pick a date and time around the weekend, two weeks in advance, attempt to pick a time that accommodates for all time-zones. Then plan out what you want to do, prepare all you can, make an invitee list, and if you believe you may need to, send users private messages with an invite, reminder, and information about the game night. But again, I'm not very experienced with setting up game nights. [Edited on 09.08.2012 8:42 PM PDT]
