Re: DIS: Current State of the Game

Hr it feels like joining Monopoly midway when a lot has already been occupied and some people are really rich vs having played from the start lol. "Having been active at an earlier time" is a real game advantage... (It feels like a mini-gerontocracy. Maybe the gerontocracy phenomenon is this

Re: DIS: Current State of the Game

alth/power in the game that the top player/s have. If its more than a year (or never, because its locked out and up to those top player's arbitrary choices), then it could be good to just cash all that in for wins/ribbons/etc and remove the overwhelming mechanics.

Re: DIS: reality check

s like if the players who want it (those who are suffering from what they want nerfed) are holding activity hostage and won't give any until the rest comply to their demands. It doesn't feel right and I'd feel guilty for participating in it. On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 5:38 PM, Cuddle Beam <cuddleb...@gmail.c

Re: DIS: reality check

Aside from poaching other nomics for players lol, what is a good approach for recruiting? Posting in reddits/forums I guess? We could make a common copypasta for advertisement and go around with that. On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 11:35 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > On Thu, 24

Hrmmm Blognomic did a "What is Fun and not Fun?" poll thing a while ago. Has one ever been done for Agora? If not, it could be a good idea do to aid to dispel the apathy. On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 11:19 PM, Kerim Aydin <ke...@u.washington.edu> wrote: > > > On Tue, 22 Ma

The game was always fair to begin with, because everyone had the same chance. On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 11:09 PM, ATMunn <iamingodsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Because he wants to make the game fairer. > > > On 5/22/2018 5:01 PM, Cuddle Beam wrote: > >> (I'm assuming that y

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Missing Report Pointing - Corona, Trigon, Kenyon

I don't like offices lol. Agora has a massive amount of officework in comparison to the other three nomics (mostly because the gamestate has to be constantly posted, I believe). Although I guess its inevitable given the mail format. On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 9:36 PM, C. V.

Re: DIS: zombie nerfing discussion

I agree with that zombies are quite likely to contribute to the apathy, but the game also generally trends towards boredom as it progresses regardless of its mechanics. It feels interesting when you have a chance, when people are ahead it just seems best to be patient and wait until the game

Re: DIS: reality check

OH MAN. What if we managed to "hack" the defunct NW via FRC, to then pull it into a better place (like a mailing list or Discord server) so that it can be played again? Does anyone have FRC's old rules? How difficult could it be? On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 3:40 PM, Kerim Aydin
