It's not about intelligence really... I don't see why a more intelligent person would necessarily prefer to play the same kind of game, when most games, regardless of their complexity, require the same amount of deductive and inductive analysis.

[QreepyBORIS]

We're so smart that we favor obsolecence to ingenuity!

:P

[talisman]

Except that we don't... or is that the point? I'm confused. What are you saying is obsolete and what are you saying is ingenious? or nevermind because that doesn't matter.

[Afrobean]

I think Qreepy is criticizing me for saying those with more intelligence should prefer standard games to complex crazy games.

I don't blame him. I suppose one has to see the light to understand it.

[Tasselfoot]

Actually, my feeling is that in Flypie's game the greens would be more important towards the humans winning as the blues will be playing less of a factor. THAT was my point.

So, it is always up to the greens to make themselves active, but if they aren't in flypie's game.... i don't see the humans having a shot.

[evilbutterfly]

For the record, the reason I picked flypie was the comic strip thing. Somebody could run with the most retarded idea ever but have flash animated stories and I would vote for them instantly. Hell, I still kinda don't like flypie at all (especially since she hates Comic Sans D=< ) but the comic just makes her instawin for hosting.

Bing! We have a winner!

And Afro, TWG is, above all, a game, so why would anyone vote for a boring game? Flypie's game is more interesting and will require little (if any) more thinking than Jurs's game. I realize that the game is as interesting as you make it, but new, different games give more incentive to try.

To suggest people should want the same thing, over and over, just because they're smart is plain idiotic.

PS if you think that Flypie's game would require the same deductive analysis, then you probably missed the whole "going places" thing, and the whole "the wolves can kill blues if the special red shows up at the right place" thing.

[Tps222]

So, you all like Fly's game because it is complex, but hate mine because it is complex? Explain please.

[talisman]

There's more to think about but you don't think any harder about it. Total there's more thinking involved in a more complex game but the power of the thinking is the same.

So whether the game is simple or complex, people's intelligence isn't going to change. If we were doing an all green game it's not like we would be thinking harder and trying harder.

If a green becomes disinterested in a (well-balanced) game because they don't have as much to think about as a blue, then that's their problem... not the game's.

[blahblah18]

its the lethargic "oh well I know what to do in specific situation X and god forbid I ever try thinking differently then preset ways I've been taught to" that keep any of my games from ever winning because people see "different" and think "oh noes whateves will lil ol me do.. I so scurred" It bothers me and really makes me think less of the population as a whole

How does the fact that a few people can go places change how people deduce who the wolves are through reason and logic from posts and game occurrences?

Flypie.

Glad the voters have their priorities in place.

I don't see why this is an issue at all - Jurs was the only person to get their signup in on time, so logically she should be the host.
