Increasing number of requests and offers

[press_start_mod]

 Would anyone mind if I were to up the maximum number of request and offers to 10?  The minimums would still fall at 3 and 4 respectively, and the only difference would be that no-one would have to choose which game they couldn't request.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind it (though I doubt I'd pick more than four or five fandoms to request), but would it make matching more or less difficult, do you think?

It would probably make matching less difficult, in the sense that there would be more possibilities for people to be matched on. It would take slightly longer, but I am not assuming this exchange will be Yuletide sized! It might take a few more hours to finish matching, but we have that time to spare.

I would be 110% all over that! :D There's so many games I'd like to request.

YES PLEASE! MORE REQUESTS!

Personally I don't think I'd have enough games to request/offer to make a difference, but I don't have a problem with it being upped for those who do. It could help with matching.

If you do up the number of requests though, would you be willing to make it so that requested fandoms don't have to be unique (as long as the minimum amount of unique fandoms is met)? So that a person could request the same fandom twice with different character combination?

I like that idea (though I'm not sure what it will do for matching)!

I wouldn't be willing to consider it for this year, I'm afraid. I have no data as to how matchable an exchange like this would be and wont until I run it! That said, I'll be assessing how this exchange can change for next year, based on how this year goes, and I can add that to the list of things to consider.

For what it's worth, if you go with AND matching, it could actually help with the matching process.

That would be fantastic, thank you! My requests are always the 3-4 fandoms of my heart but with art exchanges I love to branch out with offers and there are just SO MANY lovely games already in the tagset, I cannot choose!

That would be great!
