POLL: How long should INCIT rounds last? | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

d4 Posted:
I think that’s a good observation. And who knows…? Maybe 2min is optimal. But, better to test the waters with 2.5min first. |

I haven’t been paying much attention to the INCIT drama as of late, but beyond dumpvoting can’t autoban scripts be implemented to lessen the load? I mean policing INCIT everyday for bad behaviour is a monumental task and it’s just going to compound in workload if the submission period gets reduced.
Also, I voted 2 minutes – three does feel like a long wait. |

I don’t like this idea, how will the bot determine abuse? People who are, according to standarts, not as “good” at incit will just get banned away. People who post way too fast on regular conversation (not spam) might also get banned by bot. ChilePepino edited this message on 09/30/2009 4:09PM |

what? that’s a misconception if anything.
A lot of the funny subs are done at the last minute or are done with little thinking. I know that WWWWWWWW subs are done in like 2 seconds of when the rounds start but that doesn’t mean that that they are guaranteed to win against the “somewhat witty” last second subs.
Ok I’ll admit, before JB started policing INCIT it was p easy to make a brainless sub and win. Now that JB has decided to do a 24/7 watch on the game it’s become clear: That although there needs to mod the subs AND It looks like that they are going to be unpopular with the regulars (as it has been proven with JB. More and more people have decided to loathe him since the incit-ent).
I mean we can talk till the cows come home on how to improve incit but it’s still going to be as bad at it was and always has been.

2.5 min.is ok for people like me, who must put them entries into a online translator to see if the spelling is correct XD
But I believe that you must to do something with te rounds than don get 5 submissions quickly, is really boring have to wait several minutes (more than five) to can vote. |

you’re a good example. you don’t really like incit, you used to go and post WWWW’s or general ****ty subs to waste time or **** people off, I really don’t know or are for cause very much, point I mean is if the people who don’t really like it usually say 2 minutes, and the people like phin or merc who have used it at some point for actual fun purposes tend to agree on the 2.5 instead. most of forumwarz doesn’t really use incit that much, however everyone gets their say, liking incit or not. right now 2 minutes is in the lead as far as the pole goes, i just wanted opinions to be taken by their owners perspective. |

2 minutes, 30 seconds should be fine. |

What I meant is if someone keyspams that’ll trigger the autoban. |

wrong. I made ****ty subs cause they were easier to win*. (****ing people off was a bonus). Also You’re making poor bumumptions about me. I could easily say that you’re just a noob that only posts in “post here for a 1/1000000000 chance of getting bee pee” threads just by my first impression of you.(didn’t mean to have that sound a bit trollish bit I’m sick of people making ****ty bumumptions just because of the things I do FOR ONE TIME)
*didn’t you read my post at all? |

^ I said you were an example. Theres other such as Chile. Just an example okay buddy?
Those post for bp threads are from many many months ago. I’m sorry for ****ing you off, you responded to me and I responded back. |

I’d like you to put a limit on the timer reset that 5000 does. like he reset the timer thirty seconds? Can you make that switch to “As no one else thinks this picture has any humor value, we will continue to voting now.” after the tenth time? I’ve sat for almost a half hour before because the pic was so utterly boring. |

Is everyone bearing in mind that shorter submission time will result in crappier submissions, on average?
Improvement suggestion #1: make prior winning posters visible on the submission screen without requiring a clickthrough. This would allow for shorter display time.
Improvement suggestion #2: Have a counter on the display screen that increments to match the number of submissions received so far.
I like others’ suggestion that voting time scale with submissions. Maybe set a minimum voting time of 30 seconds, and add 5 seconds of time per submission over 5. |

Exactly.
Also, think of people with slower connection. Even winning Log in to see images! doesn’t rely of time anymore, changed to turn-based system to give more chances to non-broadband users. Why should INCIT counter that move?
Voting more time (3.5 minutes) for that. You can’t rush creativity. Quick mbum production only leads to generic crap. Kittysan edited this message on 09/30/2009 11:02PM |

The real reason why INCIT’s taking too long is because after midnight there aren’t not enough people playing and it takes forever to wait for the 5th sub. The change to one single round doesn’t fix this problem at all. The only solution is to make it more entertaining to play. To do this you need to address 2 problems: unfunny pictures and dump voting. The former can be solved with natural selection, but the latter is a real problem because people tend to dump vote because by nature of the game it is beneficial to do so. If there’s a reward for voting for the winning subs then maybe it could be different. |

I’d say that the winner display could be just 20 seconds since you already know which subs or submitters you want to see, and for the actual voting. Why not 5 seconds per submission? 10 submitters, 50 seconds, 5 submitters, 25 seconds. Too short? How about 30 seconds for 5 and then +7 seconds per additional submission. 10 would then be 65 seconds and still a short 30 seconds for 5, made easier when people do junk entries or 5th sub entries. |

I rarely spammed WWWWWWWWWWWWW if at all. Just because you don’t like my submissions doesn’t mean I’m not being seriously amused by myself. |

Voting 3.5 minutes, I try to put actual thought into my submissions, which usually means editing them a few times. A lot of the time I can’t submit a “finalized” edit before the timer runs out. |
