lol then the integrity of the game was ruined the second the mod hosed up and had to replace someone who was playing very well, and the result is irellevant because the game is pretty much a null and void no contest being that the mod already ruined it for the players involved

Sadly, this is what led to me shutting down the second Battlestar game. I made some really dumb mistakes as a mod, one of which was exactly that scenario.

wiki regarding trash talking, or "sledging," in cricket posted:


West Indian batsman Viv Richards was notorious for punishing bowlers that dared to sledge him. So much so, that many opposing captains banned their players from the practice. However in a county game against Glamorgan, Greg Thomas attempted to sledge him after he had played and missed at several balls in a row. He informed Richards: "It's red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering." Richards hammered the next delivery out of the cricket grounds and into the nearby river Taff. Turning to the bowler, he commented: "Greg, you know what it looks like, now go and find it."


quote:


One incident, as recalled by Hughes, was when he was bowling to Pakistan batsman Javed Miandad, who informed the overweight bowler that he "was too fat to play cricket" and that he "should be a bus driver". After being taunted for about five overs, Hughes decided to bowl around the wicket, and bowled a bouncer getting Javed caught at gully. As he was celebrating with his teammates, Hughes stuck his hand out in Javed's path, and yelled, "tickets please!".

To a point. Especially with regard to games and game-theory though. Rules are established for a reason, and meant to be taken literally, so the person designing said rules should ensure they are clear and not open for any strange interpretation

I mean having clear win conditions is important but burdening them or making them clunky and weird to account for a possibility that both A) essentially never happens and B) something everyone assumes anyway is not only unnecessary but might actually cause the player to think "this is different, I wonder what else is different about this game" and act differently as a result.

I get very upset when I put a lot of effort into a game, and get screwed over by questionable modding decisions, as you know from personal experience with me

I don't think you are wrong, but I do think that this might be a bit strict of an approach to take with casual games usually ran for the first time by one person.

that's decidedly though a Personal Problem. in the scenario I described literally nobody but you (and maybe hypothetical-merk) would be annoyed by the replacement, but conversely everyone else would be fine with the replacement.

it's just not a thing reasonable people think. trying to poke holes into it isn't helpful since if you're willing to toss out reasonableness literally anything could be possible.

Speaking of modding, I was going to do a Mad Men themed mafia game based around what I speculated would happen in the last season. Sadly I got distracted and the show is over now, so my dream of the town fighting against Harry and the computer is now dead.

Instead I'm going to justify the three years of torture I put myself through in grad school and do film/photo themed games. Please vote for which of these topics you would like to see first. First to 3 wins:

Samurai Film Mafia
Propaganda Film Mafia
History of Photography Mafia

Hopefully these are compelling topics that you will enjoy talking about as much as me, because let me assure you, I cannot stop talking about these things in my academic life.

clear rules and guidelines serve to make the game easier, not more difficult. it hurts nothing to set clear expectations and interactions beforehand to help facilitate play.

Im not trying to portray myself as a reasonable person, I am hyper-competitive, and always do my best to put an extreme ammount of effort into any mafia game I play, so yeah I take it more seriously than other players sometimes when a mod mistake minimizes my great efforts. I understand that I am the minority but I dont think that makes any of my opinions with regard to this any less valid
