ML has been incredibly supportive trying to get a limit game going between 4/8 and 20/40. A year or two ago, there was an occasional 10/20 game. A few months ago there was 5/10 with a kill that ran for a while. At this point, I think it will be difficult to get it going - there just aren't enough players. If you schedule it during the week, typically there are 2 or maybe 3 tables of 4/8 where you would get most of your players, many of whom don't want to play any bigger, so there isn't a big enough player pool to draw from. Weekends typically have nice promos where players enjoy 4/8.
Here are what I consider to be necessary conditions for it to go
- You must have at least 5 players who can commit to playing at a specific day/time and be willing to start the game 5 handed. It would also help if you could guarantee that the game will last for a certain time period (e.g. these 5 players will be playing from 6pm until 11pm).
- Not sure if weekdays/weekends are better, but I think a weekly game is asking too much. Perhaps once per month might draw in players as a novelty, like "second Wednesday of the month" or "third Friday of the month".
- You need to advertise it each time it goes. I'm sure ML will announce it in the room, but you need to do something to draw in a few other players who aren't typically in the room. Either post here or use a email mailing list.
