    I know that we've had a lot of time lines, in various formats and on wikis as well. At some point though it gets boring to be updated too specifically. Well, I think it's more fun if we put the idea into a game. We can also use it later for easier reference!

    The way it works is simple, each person posts an event, the other copies the list into his own post and adds a new one, kinda similar to the way it's done in the survivor game (only this one isn't endless).
    The events include EVERYTHING that happened whether major (Graduations, PBs, Concerts, Singles, Sale milestones, etc...) or minor (Handshake events, notable TV appearances, etc...), the only things that we won't post about are the regular TV appearances/radio programs/other shows.

    Thing is before I start the game I want your opinions on the following.

    I thought of categorizing events either by different colours according to their importance. This will depend on the poster but others can always change it - with justification, eg:

    Highly Important
    Mid Importance
    Low Importance

    Or categorizing events by different colours according to their type, eg:

    Singles
    Photobooks
    Sale Milestones
    Important TV appearance
    Stages (Start, End)
    Graduations
    Auditions, New Girls introduced into the group
    Concerts
    Other releases
    etc

    And of course, the 5 post rule applies.
    Besides the colours, it will look something like this

    Tomo, this thread is for discussing how the game will work, we still haven't started.

    Isn't anyone interested at all?
    I thought it would be a little difficult too, but it IS meaningful, and it just needs some research/wiki [speechless]
    Should I have placed it in the General AKB discussion instead :fear:

    This game looks rather hard for newer fan like me to join @@

    although there is an important date coming up to my mind immediately
    [2010-09-27] - Ono Erena Graduation T.T


    btw, I prefer to use YYYY-MM-DD more.

    I don't see much things to discuss about, the rules are pretty self explanatory too...

    let's just get this started [rock]

    I wanna start too! But this is what I'm stuck on...

    Which one do you guys we should go with?

    If no one replies after today, I'll just start it in anyway, without any classification, just pure text.

    \Maybe we should rate the importance of the events by how much the event have effected the group...

    Extremely Important
    Mild Important
    Not So Important
    ...huh? wait...what just happened?

    maybe not these colors in particular..but i guess something along this line??

    The first way looks easier. There might be too many colors for the second way.
    Or you can add the type category first before the actual event. But you need to restrict the number of categories.

    E.g.
    [2006-02-01] - (Singles) 1st Single released - Sakura no Hanabiratachi
    [2010-09-27] - (Graduation) Ono Erena Graduation

    Maybe you can just start first anyway and see how it goes.

    @Tomo
    That's what I was thinking too, but then again
    - A lot of people here are lazy, they hate posting with all the text formatting
    - It's pretty confusing, the importance, how should we classify DVD, PB releases? As in how can we judge that they're important or not? I think that may start some fires.
    like
    etc....

    @sikanwan
    Your idea is good too. Without the colours cause, same as the reply for Tomochiyuu.
    Maybe we should just decide on some categories and drop the color thing?
    Cause if we use colours fr importance, it'll make clashes, if we use colors for types, it'll be tiring for everyone to post.

    If we have decided on doing this,
    [2006-02-01] - (Single) 1st Single released - Sakura no Hanabiratachi
    then we need to come up with categories. Anyone has any addition/edit to the ones listed in the 1st post?

    Singles
    Photobooks
    Sale Milestones
    Important TV appearance
    Stages (Start, End)
    Graduations
    Auditions, New Girls introduced into the group (I can't come up with a better title, anyone?)
    Concerts

    maybe we should have a short test run? run it for about....a couple of hours and see how it goes?

    anyways, i'm sure the first idea will work out just fine

    For the Importance we can shorten them and put them at the front or end like...
    [12-04-21] [HIGH] Concert AKB48 Performs Live in Sydney [Perfromance]
    [12-04-21] Concert AKB48 Performs Live in Sydney [Perfromance] [HIGH]

    But it looks pretty rats without any formatting whatsoever... =/
    (speaking as one of the lazy s48er's :^^;: )

    Also perhaps, instead of getting more categories, we should be simplifying them?
    Like get 5 more general categories and try to fit everything in them like:
    [EVENT]
    [PERFORMANCE]
    [MUSIC_RELEASE]
    [OTHER_RELEASE]

    Then one can just elaborate on the main text? eg
    [11-05-25] Ichikawa Miori Gravure DVD - "Fresh Lemon Tabetai?" [OTHER_RELEASE] [MED]

    Just an Idea.

    My examples are fictional btw...

    I would definitely be the "Someone else" if "Someone" posts this [hehe]
    Maybe let's drop the importance thing and focus on types.

    I agree!!
    I try to fit Lariemeeva's categories into the groups (with some changes).

    [EVENT/PERFORMANCE] - Concerts, Stages (Start, End), Handshake event
    [TV_APPEARANCE] - Important TV appearance, TV drama series
    [MUSIC_RELEASE] - Singles, Sale Milestones
    [OTHER_RELEASE] - Photobooks, Sale Milestones (Or can get the releases combined)
    [MEMBER_CHANGES] - Graduations, Auditions, New Girls introduced into the group
    [OTHERS] - Maybe have this for any other things

    (Oh with fewer groups, does that mean we can play with the color thing again [hehe] )

    Ok I think it's decided.
    No colours, with the following categories

    [Performance] - Concerts, Stages (Start, End), Handshake event
    [TV Appearance] - Important TV appearance, TV drama series
    [Music] - Singles, Sale Milestones
    [Other Releases] - Photobooks, DVDs etc.....
    [Title] - Sale Milestones, and related title gains, like 1st female group to consecutively sell.....
    [Member Changes] - Graduations, Auditions, New Girls introduced into the group
    [Others] - Maybe have this for any other things

    into this finalized format

    [YYYY-MM-DD] - [Member Changes] Ono Erena Graduation

    Any last objections/additions?
    Cause I'm gonna start by the end of today.

    Sounds good for me.
    Is there any limit for the number of items added in each post?

    (I hate I gave that example ... It reminds me the sad thing .........)

    Yep, one per each post :D
    OK! That's it, were on!

    I'd like to keep this thread open though, for future discussions to take place here, you know any objections against a post or whatever.

    Hmmm, I was just thinking... perhaps the AKB timeline game would be better to just be in the lobby? Well, unlike the other games, this doesn't really have a "win" scenario and would just go on forever... [think]
