TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

well, yeah, but once you're in it it's about just winning. Nothing stopped players last game from manipulating vote mechanics to find a vote manipulator role - kind of cheap, breaks the spirit of the game. But at least it wasn't censorship. Controlling that sort of thing is hard.

what happened when that mechanic was found? EVERYONE LOST INTEREST, BECAUSE THE GAME STOPPED BEING FUN.

seriously censorship.

that's like saying that keeping people from talking outside the thread is censorship.

it's a game mechanic, if you dont like it, dont play.

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

right, it's not fun. which makes un-break-able games fun, or at least guaranteed not to reach that pitfall.

like last game I didn't mean to be a fun ruiner. it just sort of happened. it's hard to consciously stay within the "spirit of the game" if you notice a loophole at the same time when you are trying to help your team win. I M O

that said I think we can pull this one off.

yeah, once you're in the game the 'spirit of the game' takes backseat priority to winning. TWG is great when game's don't have to rely on its players to keep it from breaking. Why would a host need to trust its players when players have a hard time trusting each other? can't do it.

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

so you're arguing that once you're in game, why not break into someone's account and read their PM to find their role?

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

or get a third party to find their role out and then tell you?

ok, now you're stretching it. You're upset, we get it.

I'm just saying it's hard to trust players to play like you want them to.

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

not really, what's the difference? they're both strategies that ruin the fun and the point of the game.

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

so wait are you saying that you've broken rules before?

[FoJaR]

Re: TWG CV SIGNUPS: Christmas in the Clink

i mean we just had a game that wasnt really wolves vs humans, it was more like broken mechanic vs inactivity

how is that game fun for anyone? it certainly wasnt a satisfying win for me.

well, yeah. Not that I'd break rules this time but, again, if your game has to rely on players to stay unbroken then players might start to feel uncomfortable because we know someone might exploit an opportunity we know we could exploit as well but choose not to.
