ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
This forum is for games and other common, interesting forum threads that don't really belong elsewhere (EDIT: I had to add this emphasis so that people might grow a brain and quit calling me a hypocrite when I lock their "post a word" threads while "The Last Letter Game" remains unlocked).

Not postwhoring.

That said, I'm going on a locking spree for all these stupid threads in here.

Make interesting games up, please. I've seen some lately that get sent to the second or third page because of craptacular postwhoring threads.

Mmkay?

EDIT: Okay, now, seriously. I can't believe some of the mindnumbingly dumb games y'all are coming up with, so I'm going to have to add the stipulation that if you're going to make up a new forum game, make sure it's not something devised to entertain a three year old and just converted to forum form.

Seriously, hot potato? Are you kidding me?

<3. For so long I've hated this section because it was just for postwhoring. Glad to see someone has finally acted to clean it up and make it perhaps a little more fun.

Can I still postwhore as long as I follow the rules and such?

EDIT: Ignore this and go to next post by me.

That's beyond ironic.

Appologies,

What I meant to say was.

Can I still participate like crazy while still following the rules?

TheRapingDragon 05-13-2007 03:24 PM

Re: ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
I'm sure the answer to that would be yes. Though I'm also sure Guido can speak for himself at some point.

we just need to cut back on the games where only 2 people go back and forth rating avi's or siggy's

I just don't want anymore guess *insert number between insert number* win *insert amount of credits* games. Those suck.

GuidoHunter 05-13-2007 05:35 PM

Re: ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
Reaper is indeed correct, spinal.

Though I will probably be the primary judge of what's a good game and what's not, with any of the other mods coming in and cleaning up if they want to, too.

That would probably be more suited in the Literature forum. But I'm not exactly sure, Guido gets the final decision.

Blue_eyed_jessica 05-14-2007 07:21 PM

Re: ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
well wouldnt it be considered a game? I like to host contests but since I'm new to this site, I wanted to get the ok first. I used to play on neopets.com where I was allowed to host all kinds of contests and I would still like to do it

GuidoHunter 05-15-2007 12:18 PM

Re: ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
Depends on the type of "game". You'll notice that I've locked a couple of threads even though they had credit prizes. Just because there's competition doesn't mean there's a good game.

A poetry contest would probably be better suited for the Literature forum, for the simple reason that it's more serious there.

--Guido

Blue_eyed_jessica 05-15-2007 05:59 PM

Re: ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
so if I decide to do a poetry contest in the literature forum, and people start yelling at me and calling me a newbi and crap like that telling me I'm in the wrong forum, what do I say? Because there have been a lot of people making me feel unwelcome here and harrassing me about everything I do so I dont want to make that mistake.

There was a game where you'd have to guess a word that someone was thinking of and you would win credits.

People thought it was rigged considering that who ever hosted it could change the word without anyone knowing.

Completely oblivious, you are.

Itmorr made the "I'm Thinking of a Word" series of threads in which he would give out 10k creds to who could correctly guess the word he was thinking of. BUT, Itmorr had it rigged by NOT THINKING OF A WORD and just playing with the game thread users. He would make false clues and things. He would then choose a random word that had nothing to do with the hints and clues he had given out before. Of course, since it was rigged, if you guessed the word correctly, he wouldn't give out the 10k he promised.

Just like I did, and we talked about it, and he told me everything. I'm sure everyone else who won also knew about this since they never received any creds...

But now, Guido locked it and we'll never see it again. Oh well. Itmorr was just trying to have some fun by messing around with the Game Threads.

Haha, all makes sense now. Either way I never really played them and only posted in one of them once. So i'm not really at fault for not knowing. Nice way to bring up the community tightness.

Blue_eyed_jessica 05-17-2007 10:06 PM

Re: ATTN Game Threads regulars
 
yeah thats obvious that it was rigged. I mean I think it would be a cool game if like you were supposed to guess the name of the sport, or a breed of dog or something like that instead of any word whatsoever.

itmorr 05-20-2007 04:54 AM

DDR_Mike, I told you that was going to get locked before it did. You know why? Because we were just supposed to say hot potato over and over, which is impossible without postwhoring.

Would be better off in Literature or 32 Bit RGB. Since paintings and stories are two different things.

Don't take my word for it. Wait for a moderator, most probably Guido, to tell you.

"CrashJet555" meant why do you sticky something and then leave it open to become the rabid mess it is now, rather than just locking it so that people can see it but not post in the thread to somehow ruin it.

"Spinal" responded by saying that posts like his (CrashJet555's) are the reason why stickies are locked instead of being left open for discussion to continue on them.

A lot of people seem to have many different views on what exactly IS a game and what is not.

Simply stating something isn't a game does not help prevent the production of crud games, giving us some idea of what is expected would most likely aid people in that regard. Also, since you have deemed almost half of the posts in here NOT a game, perhaps giving us an example of a GOOD game would also aid in the production of fun forum games. Just some suggestions.

A game would be a (perferably simple) idea that creates a fun and entertaining forum environment.

For me at least?
