Game Host Application

1. Register as an attendee by following the instructions here.
2. Apply to host a game via our Application Form.
3. Our team will reach out to you to clarify further or let you know if your application is successful.

As a game host, you’ll be provided with a voice channel to coordinate your game of choice. You’ll also be provided a text channel where you can post stuff such as a link to the game download, a YouTube guide to the game and so on to make it easier for people to join in on the fun!

Please note that applications will close on 4 January 2025.

1. Do be on time for your game! We recommend getting on the game’s voice channel at least 10 minutes before your game’s time slot so you can test your call. If you are doing a video call, or streaming your screen, it’s good to get this tested in advance. Message us in #activity-admin if you face technical difficulties.
2. Not all attendees will know how the game works. To help them out, you can post a link to the download page, along with a summary of the instructions and basic controls. After that, pin these messages. This way, if players are lost, you can refer them to the pinned messages, and you can focus on hosting the game.
3. Your game’s channel has a text chat where attendees can send messages. You can read more about Discord voice call text chat here. You can post installation instructions, gameplay guides, house rules, and so on, in this chat. You can also use this chat to interact with your participants and answer relevant questions as they pop up.
4. Try to be inclusive of all attendees that join. If you see anyone being left out of the group, reach out to them and help them fit in. A little effort on your part can mean a lot to each attendee!
5. If there are any trigger warnings, e.g. horror, extreme violence, flashing lights, please warn the players ahead of time.
6. If there are limited slots for your game (e.g. you’re playing a game that only allows 8 players at a time), you can create a Google Form for game sign-ups. This will let you organise the players (explain the rules, group them into teams, etc) ahead of time.
7. If the game room has reached a player cap, we can create more voice calls for other players to set up their own game rooms and matches. Ask us in #activity-admin and we can set that up for you.
8. You don’t have to limit yourself to the allocated time slot. For example, if you signed up for a 1 hour slot, but the players are in the mood to keep going after 1 hour, feel free to continue playing. If you’re tired of hosting after your time slot is over, you can step down and let other players take over as the host.
9. Do note that the channel will be inaccessible after the event, so if there is anything you need on the channel, please save it before the event is over.
10. Do ask if you need help. If you have questions, feel free to message us on Telegram at @LittleIslandFC, email us at admin@littleislandfur, or contact us on any of our social media platforms listed below. During the event, there will be the #activity-admin channel on the LIFCO Discord for you to ask questions and request assistance.
11. Don’t feel nervous while hosting your game. Everyone is here to hang out and enjoy themselves. Just give it your best shot, and have fun!
