[Interest Check] So the first time I tried to open this game it didn't work out, but I'm thinking of trying again. I've got a few people who are interested already, but I figured I'd see about the wider community. Premise is here.

DWRP News

consider me interested

I'm gonna be honest, that was an accidental replurk. The premise does sound cool, though.

This is too nebulous a setting to be my jam, but I'll signal boost for you! I hope you find enough players!

Too busy to get into the game but will be replurking for anyone else who’s interested.

I like the setting a lot! I can't commit to a counting-posts based AC but if I could I would! (Check-in / "link any proof no limit to length" style might increase interest though, I know a lot of people going through the 'not able to handle more AC games' experience)

It looks interesting but I agree, the points-based AC kind of makes me recoil

redshirt : yep, personally I just do not have the kind of brain space that lets me count comments but can I link two posts that I did at all, sure. comment requirements are where I go 'omg noooo i can't'

Counting comments isn't a deal-breaker since I just CTL+F but yeah, I personally find point systems a bit stressful

hmmm the AC actually looks pretty reasonable. it's just 10 comments across two threads in game comms. that's super standard for games right now. the further points tallying is for bonus stuff. i think if it was made more clear that the bonuses are separate from AC, it might cause less stress.

I understand, but that's kind of why I don't like point system, because those who have the time/energy to do it benefit while those who don't miss out. The bonus stuff might not even be much but it's still more than those who don't do the bonus stuff get

I just get super stressed by specific counts in case other people flake, but it isn't bad as a number! Point systems for bonuses are fair imo because it's kind of built into the premise, but I know I wouldn't get very many some months and would be blowing them up in others

i'm hesitantly interested, though i probably wouldn't be able to join right away cause time stuff. premise sounds very neat and gives me some fun muse ideas-

Yeah I have been stressed by counts due to flaking by others in the past

but I think 10 is a reasonable number, especially if you allow a combo like some from the network comm plus some from the log comm

Hmmm.

I'm happy to see the interest, and the feedback. Given the importance of rewards to the overall setting, it may be difficult to change how activity works, but it's always possible to make basic activity just a check in and have post and thread counts only matter for bonus points, or base rewards off of in game challenges instead.

whatever you decide to go with, I wish you the best of luck with this game. the concept has a lot of potential

yeah having the rewards be required to the setting makes perfect sense and I actually love that 'rewarded for play' kind of thing! i'm just possibly about to do a dissertation, so i can't join anything that has an activity REQUIREMENT since i can't be sure i'll always make it, myself

but if activity were check-in and points were only for rewards like polymythos does, i'd probably play!

I like the idea of rewards based on in game challenges. It sounds fun and may get people involved more

there's always having rewards through both activity and in-game challenges

flexibility is always fab

Yeah I'm thinking of basic activity is a check in and you get points just for that + more points if you do bonus + little optional challenges during non event months for people who prefer that sort of thing.

I might be a little slow, but I'll get that changed.

Okay I changed some wording on a few things and switched basic activity from 10 comments to a check-in.

oooh

And here is where you guys can go to submit impressions for the TDM, as a way of testing and demonstrating the core mechanic of the game. Impressions submitted will be incorporated into the test drive, which I currently intend to have up on the first. Consider it a sort of pre test drive, if you will!

psst proteamods the FAQ also needs to be updated with the AC change. I'm super glad to see it. I usually, uh, am more active with lower requirements. Inverse relationship thing. The setting sounds cool!

Alright. Thanks! I'll get to work on that.

bad at dying : Done.

Thanks! Exciting times.
