As we look through the game submissions, we're noticing a trend. People are submitting games that are better fit for another guild. We would like to remind you that in order for a game to be accepted, it must more-so fit the RPG genre than another listed on the Games Front page. In addition to that, please make sure that the game is downloadable or has a hosting schedule that is clearly advertised on the hub entry, and followed if possible.

The main problem is that we're getting quite a few DBZ/Naruto games, which are better-suited for BYOND Anime.

Also, please remember to ask the owner of the game before submitting it, if possible. A few games keep being resubmitted over and over, despite the owner having explicitly requested that it not be added.

I used to play the role of Goku in DBZ until I got an aneurysm from all the powering-up.

Kingdom Heart isn't an anime, just so we're all up to speed.
Although it does belong in the fan-games guild.

Actually, as I recall, the major problem with the Kingdom Hearts games we keep getting is that none of them have any hosting schedules that they specified or any download. We also keep getting Charmed games with no download or hosting schedules.

I've noticed this as well. Many people are sending requests to the Action Guild that belong in BYOND Casual and BYOND RPG. :P

Dungeon Crawlers is getting the same DBZ and Duel Monsters games submitted over and over. It's being done by two guild members, neither of whom is the author of the game's involved. I'm pitching some new guild features that, if implemented, will let me put a stop to it.

Hmph- you guys accepted Charmed: Rebirth of Magic, but you didnt accept any other Charmed games that wanted to join.. Whys that?

If I were to wager a guess, it'd be because it has no download link and no obvious regular hosting schedule. That was of the basic rules of getting listed for the old BYOND channels... although then again, I thought that was no longer a policy.

I believe it will be a part of being featured, Jtgibson, but getting into a guild only requires a genre check. Of course, guild staff members need access in order to check anything.
