2 easy petitions to improve the game
|
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
1. Forums pwned in your current streak are highlighted in red on the forums/community forums tab. It’ll make it easier to avoid breaking streaks, and **** fewer people off.
2. INCIT: If no one else votes for the submission you vote for, you lose one point on your submission. This would help fix the issue of dumpvoting. Worst case scenario is that dumpvoters start trying to vote for mediocre submissions instead of terrible ones, which is still an improvement.
Thoughts? |

I don’t like 2, because even though I agree dumpvoting is hugely a problem, sometimes people just have different senses of humor and vote for things people don’t like.
There are a LOT of submissions that get only 1 vote, usually. |

Good point. I just think we need to do something to make INCIT work the way it’s supposed to. I rarely go there anymore because I’m sick of seeing dumpvoted entries that don’t even make sense beat ones that are genuinely funny. |

For INCIT, it’s simple.
Award players 1 Chocolate Scoop for every five times they vote for a winning submission. At that rate, it’s not going to break Domination even if a well organized Klan actually cheated. |

Good idea. Having to flip back and forth between those tabs drives me nuts, and I’ve killed 16+ streaks twice because I went to the wrong damn forum.
Acid Flux Posted:
I like this idea. It rewards you rewarding useful people, and it would help get more non-submitters to vote. |

1. ET has stated it would make a lot of lag to run the check wether or not to highlight a forum red each time every player ent to their page. Specily when the player can easily take out 4-5 minutes to write down all the forums on a notepad and eraser the names as you go by.
2. Don’t care about incit so didn’t read. |

I totally agree on 1 it sucks when you accidentely break your streak. Log in to see images! maybe instead of a highlight a cool emoticon Log in to see images! .. i don’t realy agree on 2, sometimes you vote for something realy good and you still are the only one.. dumpvoting is indeed a problem though, i try to avoid it since helping yourself to win is pathetic,, Log in to see images! , it’s like e-peen masturbation and god doesn’t like that Log in to see images!

Lots of good ways to do it, but it seems like CZ should be able to find one that can be integrated into the game instead of making players keep a separate record or try to toggle between two tabs. |

They haven’t so far due to performance reasons (it requiring a join between your streak and forums table to produce the results each time you view it). Whether this will remain the way in the future, *Shrugs* |

Although it is a pain at times, it adds a little more challenge to streaking…it forces you to pay attention! Log in to see images! |

Maybe give us the option to mark the forums pwned ourselves? Like a small checkbox or something? |

Why should CZ do something that could require days of codeing when you could take FIVE MINUTES to write forums down in a note pad or on a piece of paper. |

The point is that it would be relatively easy to code. But if the explanation for why it hasn’t been done yet is to prevent lag, it might be better off leaving it the way it is. A manual check box system or something might be a good compromise, though. |
