I'm speaking for myself here and not with my Mod Hat on - peramene has put a TON of time and effort into prepping for this game (flavor included), and will put a ton more into the actual running of the game. If you come in with a plan to just shitpost and gently caress around with blatant off-flavor stuff, you're doing her and the other players a disservice. I don't recommend going down that route!

edit: yeah you'll also probably get killed if you do that

edit2: that being said, the character who licked everything as his one defining character trait ended up being a minor audience favorite by the end so :shrug:


i had other character traits
I was a supporting character rather than a main character so i get that I'm mostly going to be remembered for my wacky side character antics, but i like to think I played the game fairly on level and had a pretty consistent character who made a decent impact on the plot. I mean i did singlehandedly save one rather important character (who never gave any respect for that but whatever) and played a part in killing 4 others so it's not like i just stood around with my thumb in my mouth the whole time. my characterization was more built on my relationships rather than hardline beliefs that lead to big actions

i get that you weren't trying to be pointed or anything here i just feel a bit defensive because i actually did care a lot about myst ok

I think it might serve as a prescient warning that despite the fact that it is factually inaccurate in both cases, the two players who made a point of going off alone but said so in public and were suspected of wrongdoing as a result both hyperbolize their (awful) game exits as "out on the first day".

Both were assassinated by another player.

yo i also did this and never got assassinated by another player

I've been ripping my hair out over this for the last six months and it finally hit me that any arguing about it can happen in march rather than wasting game time for it --

this is an open call for flash games, silly challenge ideas, things like that, that'll work for duels. If you don't already know: duels circumvent the usual combat system for a 1 on 1 contest with another player, no stats involved. You set your own terms, and one of those terms is how you and your adversary will do glorious and honorable battle SO

hit the thead the gently caress up

To be accepted, it's gotta meet this criteria:

  • The results must be definitive, objective, and demonstrable via screenshot or video so that all players can observe the duel-in-fact.
  • The challenge cannot be any form of endurance challenge whatsoever, and the definition of what comprises an endurance challenge is entirely up to peramene’s judgment. Stay very clear from this line.
  • It must only involve the participation of the duelists - no involvement of other people, even if they’re outside the game and including peramene.
  • It cannot involve any expectation or requirement of financial expenditure. Games which are already purchased, such as both players owning a competitive Steam game that one or both of them can record, are absolutely okay.
  • It cannot involve any expectation of the divulgence of personal information, including video containing faces or voices.
  • It must reasonably take no more than two hours to complete.

On that last point, I would much rather see faster, more entertaining contests than long, drawn out nonsense. Drop some suggestions yo -- also feel free to comment on each other's suggestions. I was hoping to build a list of at least 20 but hopefully 50 so that I could justify rolling some dice and declaring that the contest; let's see how we do.

some rear end in a top hat already holds the record so it'd be boring

egg game is already on the list asiina.

also owing to my loquacious nature, the best ideas I have all circle around to being 24-hour endurance challenges which is exactly why it's a rule because heaven help us all for when the day finally arrives that I do that again

this is a preemptive apology. I know that isn't going to make anyone feel better. But there it is.

cube slam - so the way this works is that every time you visit the site it generates a new 6 letter URL which you then share with the other person and you play 3d pong in your browser

also you can practice by fighting a bear

vektor space is like 3d lightcycles and might be neat; drawbacks are it's windows only and requires someone to host the game (so port forwarding, welcome back to 2005)

gate 88 is ... hmm. it's classified as an rts? I dunno, download it, play around with it, it's kinda cool but maybe too much for a duel, i leave that to the wisdom of the crowd

nidhogg is usually cheap on steam and is definitely a duel!

i know it steps all over the "don't involve other people" rule but tbh i could host streams for this too

thinking about it I wouldn't even technically need to know who was playing if I just started the stream and walked away from my computer for 15 minutes :v:
