Rain, don't let cheaters and fanboys put you off these games. I like them and I think we need something like this around here to keep things light and fun. Seems like an odd thing to need on a gaming forum, but like I said before, gaming has become like politics: there's so much hatred and bitterness - people who want to "win" at all costs - that it spoils it for everyone. The most ridiculous part is that there's nothing actually at stake in a stupid forum game like this. I at least understand why people get so emotionally invested in politics... but this? Anyway, I think your idea about only allowing members to play is a good one. I don't know if you want to go this far, but you may also want to implement a rule that the game stays on the game thread - that anyone caught trying to rally voters elsewhere on the forum (in other threads, on their wall, etc) is banned from the game. Like I said, I don't know if you consider this a serious infraction or not, but I've seen it happen so I thought I'd mention it. In any case, don't let the bad sports sour you on these. I think your games do much more good than harm. I'll give some more thought to what can be done. Maybe I'll come up with something. |
I don't know what I'm doing yet with a potential future game. The mods still haven't gotten back to me...plus, this certainly didn't help get mod approval. (All elimination games need mod approval)
