Re: ymotohciD :daerhT emaG 002 GWT

Since we're all airing out our grievances and whatnot... I have a somewhat different opinion than those of us who thought negatively on the game

1. I absolutely loved it, I thought it was a confusing giant ball of chaos of which I didn't want to end. Did I go completely insane? Yes, but that's kind of the point of a game like this.

2. I felt it was good for the newer players to have signed up for this shitshow, so that they are aware that games like this CAN, and DO happen on this site.

3. Let's not forget all the hard work Greg has put into this for all of us to enjoy.

Was I frustrated that everything town has done has amounted to not much? No, not at all. This game would have been VERY different if not for us. WE were the ones who lynched Storn and Xiz for example. Yes, Freezin' shot a few others but it doesn't discount the fact that we put in the work to get to this point. So saying it was all for nothing isn't exactly true from MY POV, as a VT.

the problem is that you can't force players to not be on invisible mode. this site isn't just twg, it's a larger forum and it's not fair to dictate how players present themselves on this larger forum just for twg.

invisible mode is useful if you don't want to be stalked, watched, or otherwise observed when you don't want to be. it's a valuable function for a forum like this.

this is why I advocated for the mod rule--- because:

1) players should be allowed to be "invisible" as a matter of principle, but
2) mods are able to see "invisible" players, which creates an information imbalance

the mod rules was something I kept mentioning, but it didn't become real until a certain incident where a vBulletin feature was exploited to solve a game.

Re: ymotohciD :daerhT emaG 002 GWT

the fact that people may or may not be on invisible at any time kinda prevents dumb "they were online/offline!!!" reads that are super annoying and pointless

I would disagree with this, based on the notion that everything in a TWG can be considered as information... That's just my take on the matter

doesnt the fact that you can view as a guest totally negate all of this

I will note that that can't actually be turned off, and was also not a mod who discovered that.

**T-Force** · 08-3-2021, 10:47 PM

Re: ymotohciD :daerhT emaG 002 GWT

At least, I'm pretty sure it can't be turned off. I may have to chat with the admins to double check.

If any of those are actually a concern then playing TWG at all is a bad idea lmao. TWG isn't a private group anymore anyone can see you post. Actually considering how a forum "like this" actually works, what you just said made no sense

If you're signing up for a public game where you post publicly, then the privacy having your name removed provides probably doesn't help.

And there's no nice way to accusse people of this but with you being the only noticable exception, I remember it was the lower posters who really campaigned for this back when. I don't really believe it was about privacy as a whole because that angle simply doesn't make any sense in how the site actually functions. People wanted to not get caught having time to check in on the game but then not contributing.

With the inactivity issue we have I'd rather have rules that encourageinteractions rather then provide cover.

You know, at least that doesn't inconvenience the mods

only if you logged out while viewing the thread, then logged in when posting. every. single. time.

quoting people would not be possible. this would not be a solution

**mellon_collie** · 08-4-2021, 12:21 AM

Re: ymotohciD :daerhT emaG 002 GWT

well, quoting people by manually typing tags and copy/pasting their post from an in cognito window into ur post would be possible. but no

**MixMasterLar** · 08-4-2021, 12:36 AM

Re: ymotohciD :daerhT emaG 002 GWT

If privacy matters that much to you then you need to ne yhe one inconvenience, not the mods pr the people havinh to crosscheck two accounts when they ISO a mod because he undoubtedly forgot to switch accounts again
