TWG XVI Postgame

[Tps222]

We need some sort of grand tournament all-star game. That way people will have an extra motivation to work to.

[dAnceguy117]

Grand tournament? Tournaments involve individuals, and the winning system in TWG now is by team =/

[psychic25]

As long as winning is now by team...

Wouldn't it make sense to bring back... *flinches* MVP?

Or something of the sort. Possibly, in postgame, have everybody who thinks they have qualifications to be an (yes, plural) MVP submit a statement. Then, either the host, or everybody, picks their top three choices, and the three players with the most votes win an MVP point. (Note that anybody is qualified- I mean, if dying doesn't stop you from winning, why should dying nullify your chances to get MVP?)

Then, with the "grand all-star game", which would, indeed, generate a lot more interest, the sixteen (or possibly twelve, for a smaller game) players with the most points are the only ones who are eligible to play.

Hi everyone. Back online for a brief bit, and I read through the thread. Since I won't be affecting TWG for 3 months yet I won't interject much, but going off the feelings that I have heard from other TWG players and feel myself, I would like to suggest that TWC be disbanded and that we resort to a democracy. Everything about this game can be worked out without 5 people of their own agenda's deciding for the majority of the players.

That being said, have a nice summer.

QFE^2

I still don't see why it isn't like this already.

[User6773]

Because with democracy you have to deal with the issue of who gets to vote on all sorts of matters. It's a lot easier to sort things out with only a small group of people in charge.

The TWC was already democratically approved months ago.

[Kilgamayan]

Aw man, do we have to pool?

I wanted to host this game too.

[evilbutterfly]

The TWC was already democratically approved months ago.

Um, I don't remember voting for it? But whatever, I probably did and just didn't realize what it did, same way the humans voted for that change in Infiltration without realizing that it friggin screwed us over. Ugh.

And I think we should at least try pooling it. You can host, Kilga, just...you might have some newbers in your game.

[HansSky]

We didn't know what it really was going to be like when we voted for it. A bit extreme, but this is sorta like Nazi Germany and Russia, they voted for a dictatorship simply because it WASN'T communism.

Everybody I've talked to about TWC hates the idea of it, simply because of the fact that, ultimately, their opinion doesn't matter. It's always small discussion, then "Alright guys, this topic is being locked so TWC can talk this over."

It's just the idea that somebody's opinion and "personal agenda"(alain) is more righteous and important than others just because they have a title.

[dAnceguy117]

From the looks of the TWC thread (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...wtopic&t=23690) everyone that posted thought it was just for dealing out punishment for cheaters =/

Plus, there's a fundamental flaw behind the whole thing. Remember the discrepancy over Chardish's tribal game, where three members of the TWC could overrule the other two? That's where power gets out of control.

[Tps222]

Wait, are you saying that 3 over 2 is unfair? How else can a decision be made without an odd number of people?

[talisman]

Personally, I'm cool with the TWC, but I'm all about starting another game.

so... let's start another game.

[Kilgamayan]

You can host, Kilga, just...you might have some newbers in your game.

That exactly why I don't want to now.

[Tps222]

Well, jTWG is over, so get the floats and the toys, the pool is open for business.

[blahblah18]

ok, this is probably juts because of the state of mind i'm in right now, but seriously fuck pooling and an of this other beauracratic crap. If someone wants to host a game, they can, and if they want to handpick who plays in it, let them, its THEIR game. there doesn't need to be some universal league or code of ethics to follow... its a person who creates a thread, and says they are hosting a game, and if they want people to play, then they play, id they dont' want others to play, then they dont' play... simple AS THAT
