Pokemon Xros Wars - Signups (16/16) {CLOSED}

  1. people generally arent immediately modkilled for breaching a postcap
  2. you can check how many posts you have, and generally unless youre spamming you wont even come close (im generally high output and peak at 2/3rds)
  3. your pfp GREATLY upsets me

i think modkills for postcap breaking are idiotic yeah
fully agree there

i do understand your other point and in an ideal society people would self-restrict to make the game readable and playable to everybody, even non-try hards
i think a postcap at like 250 is a decent nudge to just. be mindful of the other players because ppl forget that sometimes
500-posting per day is just not fun for the other people in the game if they have jobs and responsibilities and other hobbies and stuff in a similar (but less severe) way to 2-posting

and thats why i think a nudge to players who do that is appropriate, but modkills/bans/actual punishments are not (unless theres like extremely flagrant breaks)

i would never modkill unless they have no plausible deniability that it was malicious (e.g. posting 100 more times in a day after theyve been reminded theyve hit postcap)

sub out go brrr

honestly i would never modkill for postcap ever and i would force sub in those circumstances

same

you forget that it’s also a game about reading

basically the core of my thoughts condensed into a single clause

I got silenced twice for breaking the post cap by accident, a 3rd time would have led to a mod kill

XD

Post caps are just a game mechanic you have to play around.

Postcaps incite the circuits in my brain that fucking love to count numbers, and spamposters incite the circuits in my brain that fucking love to be toxic online

counting is awesome

Fair points. It’s not like post caps are a complete cdeal breaker or anything. Im just not a big fan, but i can see im in the minority

If these hydras were 8 people separately, we would be filled with 16 players

if hydras were not an option i would not be playing / involved in this game at all

I am not sure if I like the idea of hydra’s much, when you could fill in the slots much more.

However I allow this to be exception because of competitive nature and which players sign up for it.

Although why hydra?

whydra

I can’t responsibly fully commit to a mafia game right now. I can, however, easily half-commit to a mafia game and have my hydra buddy help out with the other half. That’s the principle.

If something comes up and I can’t check on the game for a little while, our slot won’t be completely dead. I’d not feel good about signing up for a game solo and risking only being able to participate half the amount I should, but being in a hydra mitigates that risk, since it’s less likely that both players have to take time away from the game simultaneously.

Plus, having someone you know is on your side to sanity check things for you makes games a lot less stressful (and therefore easier to commit to). I go insane trapped in my own little box.

Well spoken.

my partner wants to play because of the theme but doesn’t feel 100% okay about mentally committing to the game so i’m here as a safety net
