Blah, I know you've been busy lately, but you're sounding very hypocritical. The last, what, three games you've been almost completely silent? At least let someone who was posting a lot repremand everyone else on their inactivity. :\

So does she.

QFE. lol rhymage

Actually, the quote I'd like to QFE is something Jake said on page 3.

The hosts dont really know what they're doing (i'm serious)

Now, I'm not trying to pick on any one host. But honestly, I want to play a game where the HOST knows the RULES. I want to be able to ask the host a question and get an answer (ps a correct one kthxbai), not an "I'll ask Tass."

I'm especially not trying to pick on Dan, since he's been having a hard time hosting and it's not his fault. I used this quote, though, to give as recent an example as I could.

ok, 5 votes on BBQ makes an instalynch. Psycho and Tank hasn't voted, so they each get phantoms.

That seriously pained me when I read it. The solution? Have people from TWG host jTWGs. This idea would be especially more relevant if we used the "get rid of the discriminating jTWG tag, just have two running TWG games" idea. I think this would give players more of a sense of security in the fact that the rules work. I know I haven't felt that way.. ever. I would say jTWG IV, but Spheroid (damn good host by the way) first tried a game with 14 people, or something like that, and the game got all screwed up and had to restart.

I think that's enough use of my brain today. Time to go play SMO and not think at all :>

[Tps222]

Yea, better hosts are needed for jTWG, and more dedicated players are needed. When I played with them, it was a sorry sight. Though, a few were very good (dan, ep, hydro). So, don't know what to do from here.

Chardish, what's up with INF 2 ?

[mead1]

I am really liking the sound of this two TWG suggestion. It answers all of our concerns, and generally makes everybody happy.

[hydrojakep]

Hey, my suggestion is popular. I think that seriously was the best thing said. And if not evened out, how about just random. You wont get to choose if you're in the "good game" or the "bad game". You're just in one of the two twg's. Sometimes you'll be in the same game as (super awesome twg guy/girl or not so super awesome twg guy/girl) so sometimes you'll be one of the more experianced or one of the less experianced.

[Tps222]

Eh, I really don't like the idea. It waters down TWG, and boosts up jTWG. I guess it would make the game interesting because we would be experiencing all new play styles. I do like Blah's suggestion of different variations. Gives us a bit of change.

[ddrruler]

I agree with hydro. If you want to abolish jTWG, go ahead. But in replacement, make it a, uh, non-discriminatory game. TWG: Double Trouble, or whatever the hell you want to call it. I wouldn't say split the game according to skill, because that will certainly make the game more interesting.

Raffle idea: I don't like it. The people that are most dedicated to play the game are the people that make the 30 second sign up windows. It would NOT be a good idea to randomly pick, because you'll end up pulling people in who signed up for the hell of it, and won't be great at this whole activity thing.

-Two games at a time, no jTWG.
-Keep the timed sign ups.
-Maybe add in an All Star game every now and then, to maybe make a game to what it usually would be.

Also, I agree with talisman. Chardish, I think you may be overreacting a bit. One game of inactivity does not mean the end of TWG as we know it. Everything was circumstantial, the players that were killed, the way Tass was acting, etc. I think TWG needs a bit of renovation, but nothing major.

Yea that seems like the right thing to do but it would make the 'Elite' complain constantly....

I think if were gonna end JTWG and have a split TWG, we should try to make sure inactive bullshit doesnt happen again. It really kills a game, not to mention how hard it is for the humans to win.

BTW IMO the "elite" should just deal with it, they were in our shoes at one time.

[evilbutterfly]

So wait, are you saying we still have two completely separate signups and two completely separate TWGs? Then nothing would change. The oldbies would all sign up for #1 and leave #2 for the newbies. The thing to do is to have ONE signup thread. So like, 30 people sign up there. Half of them will randomly be put in game A and half in game B. That way there would be no picking and choosing which game you're in. You may get placed with a bunch of other people your skill level, or may be not. It would literally mix things up quite a bit.

Of course, there's the issue of games not ending at the same time, and that the huge signups may not fill quickly (we all know how slow jTWG signups can be). However, this would give us that needed "break" everybody has been talking about. If there's more time between TWGs, there's more build up and more anticipation for it, so there's more interest. Some people may complain, but a healthy TWG is better than a bunch of rapid-fire TWGs.

And I still think we should have an "ad" in Chit-Chat concerning TWG. I'm sure there are people who would gladly play and enjoy if they only knew it existed. Another sticky couldn't hurt, really, so why not make one in Chit-Chat?

[Tps222]

No they weren't, there never was a jTWG for the 1st 7 or 8 games. So, anyone who is "elite" was good from the beginning. I guess it's something you can improve on, but not too much. A lot of it is natural.

I wanna play again

[HansSky]

Eh, too many people will complain that we're whoring TWG around FFR. I don't think we want that right now.

[talisman]

I think the real problem with jTWG vs TWG is that in the former the average age is somewhere around 14 and in TWG is somewhere around 18... there's a real difference in the maturity of posts and general intellect. (You do get smarter between 14 and 18, trust me).

That said mixing might not be a bad thing, if it raises the standard of play for everyone.

[Tasselfoot]

Yup Yup Talisman...

No Sticky in Chit-Chat. There is one in CT, that is where it should be.

Demon... I was never at your level.
