Need New Section For Games

[Solver]

Creating a subforum of OG for forum games might be nice, as long as posts don't count them. Because some people currently use the forum games as an excuse for +1.

Same would go for demogames, that have given us a few persons with over-inflated post-ego-counts. How about making DG posts count as -1, and see how many people *really* enjoy the DGs ?

Sounds like a great idea Solver

I think the majority of players (demogamers and forum game players) would still play if the posts didn't count. So often a high post count is the result of enjoying participating, not the end in itself. The people that care the most about post counts are seemingly those that whinge about others, without wanting to participate much themselves.

There are many forums which people use for an excuse for +1... so why pick on that forum

[Adagio]

Just remove post count increase from ALL forums then

True, no reason to pick on Other Games . Picking on DG forums seems like a good idea though .

As true as that may be- the forum games are fun as well. If I wanted mindless +1's I could probably find other ways to gain them, as Ming has mentioned. And indeed, participating in forum games has very slightly raised the amount of posts I make in other games.

That being said I'm now averaging 20 PPD instead of 4-5 PPD before joining forum games

[Solver]

So that being said you are still happy to get the extra posts you do .

which leads me to ask, do you actually play civ?

[Solver]

Sure I do. That's why I'm here. And the reason I haven't participated in a DG is that they don't match my definition of a fun game.

[Paddy]

well said, DG's sure can be the vacuum that sucks the fun right out of the game...

and the various moods, politics and time zones of the different players sure can add further dimensions to the game...

but that is the joy of being in a Democracy Game

Have you considering joining the AU then, Solver?

Apolyton University is great, I take a lot of pleasure reading AU threads. Might join someday, too .

Perhaps an easy solution to the forum games in the Other Games section is to have the forum games threads headers start with FG - for example: "FG: Galactic Overlord VII".
