Hyper Crab Tank posted:You know, I'm not sure. Continuing the same thread would be easier if you want to catch up on the whole series, and prevent the thread from being archived. How's this usually done?

I'd say go ahead and archive the first game, and then start a new thread while linking the old one (and link the new thread from the old thread, too). EDIT: vvv there might be a problem with the forum archives, but as far as I'm aware lparchive.org is perfectly healthy. In any case it'd serve as a backup of the forum content.

Actually, isn't there a problem with the archives right now? Maybe continuing on with this thread might be a good idea so it doesn't get eaten up. Or maybe they already fixed that in which case no worries.

The archive problems were fixed. While megathreads are nice there is one reason why I wouldn't choose it lightly. If for whatever reason you don't finish the second game it will drag down this otherwise complete and very nice lp of the first game.

The thread doesn't need to be finished for the lp of the first game to be put on lparchive though.

I thought the issue was that you have to keep bumping the thread until it gets onto LPArchive, otherwise it will go into the messed-up forum archives and risk data loss?

I think I'll just ask baldurk to archive this thread and start up a new one for Hand of Fate. As a reminder, that probably won't come up this week; I need a little break before starting that one up. That does leave open the question of whether it's safe to let threads fall into archives yet.

I don't see a sticky saying "AHHH DON'T LET THINGS GET ARCHIVED" any more, so I'm guessing it's been fixed.

Personally I'd have suggested sticking with the same thread since the first game wasn't that long, but that's just me.

If you do the whole series in one thread, it'll likely be archived as one LP. If you split it into multiple threads, it would make more sense to archive each one as its own LP.

I bought the second Kyrandia game recently based on what people in this thread were saying, but really wasn't that thrilled with it. The first couple parts of it were okay, albeit pretty mediocre and with a couple bits of unforgivable bullshit. But then you get into the second half and ugh, it becomes an utter shitfest.
