if you want more people playing *whispers* cooler pictures, and less repeating pictures

There are currently 2450 pictures in rotation. By my calculation, which could be wrong, bumuming each round lasts 3 minutes, a completely even distribution of pics would take over 5 days for repetition. If you played 24/7, you’d see each pic 6 times a month, on average. It’s possible there’s something wrong with the algorithm, but if you play a lot you’re bound to see repetition.

The way to solve this would be, of course, adding more pictures. But that’s only temporary, repetition is bound to happen. Even if we added another 10000 pictures, you’d repeat within a month. And then, we hit the other issue you talk about — cooler pictures. I don’t think we could find 10000 cool pictures.

And even if we did, after you’d seen them a couple of time, you’d be complaining about repetition again…

INCIT has too many people on at once what we need are ROOMS

I agree to some extent. The amount of funny does also tie together with the topic of discussion in the chat. That is what makes it funny for me a lot of the time.

If we are talking about Xylons naked pictures and a picture shows up where someone is looking in disgust of surprise…the ‘XYLONS NUDE PICS can never be unseen’ makes me lol.

Also, this site has many n00bs downvoting things for no particular reason (see Forumbuildr), so removing INCIT wins below -5 doesn’t seem like a great idea to me, especially when going for the leaderboard e-peen.

I do agree the time to submit is a tad too long and we should be allowed to use characters in submissions. Showing who voted for what also seems like an improvement, although I don’t really see the necessity in that, since many people aren’t ashamed to admit they dumpvoted.

/my 2 cents

Agreed except for the -5 rule. If people really hate any idea and downvoted -5 it’s gone…. then wouldn’t that add to your Hall of **** Votes since it’s now gone meaning there is no -5 sub there anymore? I know what you mean… but I guess it can work out like Forumbuilr score.

This. I don’t think you can compare INCIT ratings to Forumbuildr entries, because an INCIT win has already won by the time it can be rated. Why take away someone’s win because someone decides to mbum-downvote them? It would end up punishing anyone who’s well-known but not universally liked (Fran, Xylon, and yes, me too).

[X] Show who voted for each winner.

[ ] Do not allow overused submissions

[x] Remove INCIT wins from the hall of **** after they reach a score of -5

[ ] Do not allow accounts that have not pwned a forum in the last 72 hours to participate in INCIT

[ ] Restrict voting to characters level 4 and above.

[x] add an equation to make choco scoops easier to farm based on INCIT win streaks

I agree with this, I don’t think it’s a good idea to restrict voting to a level 4 or above because then only that level of character would be able to play. I actually only have stayed on Forumwarz for as long as I have because I found Incit fun and then started getting into other stuff. Had it not been for my ability to participate in Incit I wouldn’t be here. Log in to see images!

Level 4 is required to participate in chat and to post on the forums. It is required for Kyoubai. Level 4 takes at least two days to get to and after that it is not an issue. By restricting usage to level 4, you are eliminating users who make accounts with fake emails so they can use them for INCIT scamvoting

Link please. But I seriously doubt it. This is a game about trolling, I expect there to be serious trolls in INCIT submissions/wins.

I have yet to see one win, but I have seen some god awful submissions telling people to kill themselves or telling people to enjoy/murder. I know you guys are Canadian but it is illegal to incite suicide or violence online here in the states

As ET said on twitter, forumwarz is one giant database. That being said, it is likely that each win is stored there. I have won multiple times by recycling old winners. It shouldn’t be too hard to set a check in the code to cross reference the database to see if a user is trying to recycle a submission.

The only problem with this is that sometimes people come up with the same ideas as have been submitted before without knowledge of the previous entry. “Great minds think alike” and all that. Just ask any of Tesla’s descendants.

Something of a bit more importance: Hall of **** entries need a report rule violation link or feature on their individual pages. Some textual submissions go so far beyond what is considered obscene or offense that it is outright abusive.

I think that the general sense of humour here precludes censorship; damn near every bit of this game involves something ridiculously offensive to someone. Crossing any line depends on where you draw it; for me, the appeal of this game is that the line is drawn so far from the generally accepted boundary of good taste. (And anyone driven to perform violence based on what an online community tells them to do doesn’t belong in my collective unconscious anyway)

That being said, perhaps INCIT needs full-time moderators, if only to eliminate spam and dumpvote fodder.
