Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

I like yoshls game the best but I wonder if it would be possible to not have to do the image thing and simply send votes via pm

Also people are saying champs game is townsided just so y'all know

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

They say that, yet 10 out of 11 games all ended in a wolf win, lmao.

We shall see if it really is though if this game is pick since we all have established meta and all.

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

if you mean posting mins, that surprises me
if you mean posting maxes, that also surprises me

what bothers you about them?
EDIT: Like I said, I can do away with them, this is not something that is set in stone

Both of them bother me, at the end of the day it does restrict some form of posting and play style and I have never liked them for that reason.

I just knew all these games had them so I was forced to vote for one that seemed better.

But equally at the end of the day, hosts should be free to choose to add it or not regardless. I can just choose to not vote for it when it comes up.

And usually I try not to, but sometimes I overlook it if I like the game enough.

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

My question regarding post count limits is: why? Is there some particular reason, specific to this game, why such an enforcement is necessary? Or is it a response to the immense post count of last game?

just want to try them out
I do think that, if you are hitting that limit, you /are/ posting too much, there is such a thing even though I think that its very hard to do

I love post minimums and I think that there should always be a required minimum amount of effort that a player needs to put in for the benefit of the game and for the benefit of their fellow players

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

i think ideally i wish the people who usually maoe like 7 one line posts one after the other basically can take more time and consolidate their thoughts in a post cap environment, and that would inherently at least yalve their normal postcount

They'll likely just not give as much imput, ie you'll just see them making 3 one one liners instead.

The minimum was a great idea because we had people ghosting entire phases and town was losing games to it (a classic example being a wolf going UTR, but I've seen deep wolves keep low posters around for easier mislynches to). I get winning or losing because of playstyle is a part of the game but not engaging in the game is not a play style.

If you're not going to play, you need to be removed and your sloy cleared so the people who are playing can actually have a game that doesn't have this big question mark floating around because you couldn't be arsed to engage.

Now, what's the benefit to a Maximum limit?

I get that sometimes there is a spammer whose spamming it up but normally if they are town they are getting nightkilled because wolves do not want that active of a thread ever, and if they are a wolf then it's just more opportunities for them to get caught. In both cases the problem normally resolves itself through actions in the game and is a part of playing the game with the other players

Which is good, because we signed up to do just that.

I don't see How the game could benefit from a Maximum Post Restriction in most setups---at worst, it's just never been an issue worth dealing with

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

I would be receptive to post maximum limit in the context of experimentation I think

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

i can't believe if we want to break postcount records we'll have to intentionally submit suboptimal actions now this is a joke don't do that thing

This sounds great to me tbh. I really don't like how people get on my case for having a "low" post count even though most of my posts are larger posts with lots of content. Then people who just go around spamming one liners are considered more active than me? Fuck that tbh

I really don't see how this could be an issue when the cap is lifted at eod.

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

pretty much that, theres times when i look at postcounts and can be like "wait what why does xyz have 200 more posts than me i remember nothing theyve done" and i think it may be more of a symptom of that post spammy problem

and in another case, who are we to say "you need to change your posting style to fit ffr twg"

i think if people are aware that seeing 6 posts of one liners in a row make others (me included) kinda gloss over and miss interactions then ok i guess. minimum posts is a necessary thing because that kind of play is like real bad for a given twg game going on

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

In the last game Soundwave had 592 posts and lived through what, 5 day phases? So our top poster from the 2nd longest game in history averaged 118 posts per phase.

200 seems high enough that it will basically never be reached except by somebody aggressively spamming. Though if there continue being 72 hour day 1 phases, that is the one phase that seems in danger of people hitting caps, but I also think 72 hour day 1 is a horrible idea.

Re: TWG 188: Voting Thread

I'd be interested to see, though good lord do I have no intention of doing it, who actually had the highest wordcount in that last game, because I think there's an above average chance it was me, despite being in 5th for postcount, and lasting the most days of all the top posters.

You absolutely put in the time to earn that gold, for sure, although Soundwave had so many posts I bet he comes close.

But like you I would never attempt to count it.
