April Fools game feedback

    I'd have no issue with it if there were some way to ignore Geth's posts or at least opt out of it completely.

    It's great if it's something you want to be a part of, but if you're not interested, you have to weed through all of Geth's "Oh hey someone's kidnapped!" "Here's a riddle!" "So and so solved the riddle" posts to find the actual forum content.

    Which is exactly how Icy has changed it to work as of... a couple hours ago maybe? So in the future things will probably work more like this as well, given the feedback. It's natural that when things are first implemented there will be some growing pains until it becomes clear how things work out in the wild.

    I'd like to say that rapidly solving riddles as they popped up was fun, if the spam has gone then that's good.

    My only feedback (other than I've enjoyed it) is that it feels like it's missing a 'rescuee' badge.

    A "Johnny Quest" badge, for the perpetually kidnapped.

    I somehow got the April fools badge, kidnaped and Stockholm syndrome all while actually traveling and not actually on the board until now. Not sure how that worked.

    my only real complaint is that a couple of the riddle answers were possibly spelled wrong, and thus couldn't be answered (example: Vivixenne's riddle, even when her name was copied directly from her profile page, didn't work when I answered it)

    I thought it was actually pretty fun, though I can certainly see people being irritated if they'd spent a while typing up something thought-provoking only to get kidnapped a minute later, then the conversation moves on without them. Not that I'm aware of it actually happening, due to the time limit between kidnapping and Stolkholm Syndrome.

    How did the riddles work? I saw multiple people getting the same riddle, so was it something of a blanket riddle going out over everyone until it got solved, then all the currently-kidnapped people being assigned a new riddle?

    I am pretty sure it randomly picked a riddle from a pool every time someone got kidnapped. The pool was not huge, so lots of riddles got repeated.

    Seriously, it's one fucking day on the forums, and nobody's posts were garbled for more than ten minutes. It is no big deal.

    I had to laugh at the following ridddle though

    I am. Maybe they were insta-rescued.

    Edit - Ah, I guess they were. But I see it all working as it should now.

    edited April 2013
    The only problem I see in the end game is saturation. Once everyone is kidnappers, there's not many opportunities for rescuing.

    A suggestion for this is to make it so that kidnappers lose their stockholm syndrome after a certain number of SUCCESSFUL kidnappings, say 5 or so. This way, they can try to kidnap people and get out of kidnapper status to get a rescue badge, while it frees themself up as a potential kidnapping victim. There will still be more kidnappers than kidnappees but this would lengthen the stretch to the end game.

    I think the time between being kidnapped and developing Stockholm Syndrome was rather short. It was 15 minutes between when I got the badges and I was not logged in at the time. I also assume that my Stockholm Syndrome is the reason I can't kidnap other people (or am I just missing where this option occurs)?

  • MillMill Registered User regular
    Yeah, might make sense to go with B:L's idea. Gives people a better chance to earn some badges. I wish I was better at some of these riddles but I don't really venture out of D&D and Critical Failures that much.

    Oh man, this game is even better after the midafternoon tweaks.

    Alright we cool.

    FWIW I understand your complaint. Its just MUCH harder than you think to come up with perfectly balanced game dynamics out of thin air once every couple months. There's also really no way to test how it will play out beforehand. All I have is a mental simulation based on how I think things will play out, and I'm not a smart man.

    Each time I make one of these though, I learn more about what works and what doesn't, and things get smoother and smoother.

    Yeah I think these have lots of potential and I actually really enjoyed this game personally. I was a little off put by the spam mechanism, but that was similar to the valentines day thing and again: It's like ONE day. If I can't handle something different going on in the forum for one day I really shouldn't be posting. I would really like to see more of these in future, I'm really curious where they might end up going.

    The spam thing wouldn't be so bad if there was a link right there to attempt a rescue, rather than then having to dig back through the thread to find a particular person's post.

    My one complaint would be that it wasn't particularly time-zone friendly. In order to take part as a kidnapper, you appear to have to be kidnapped yourself. Sitting at GMT+9, the kidnappings start in the evening. Then, while I slept, I was kidnapped, stockholm'd into a kidnapper, and then had it all wear off before I woke up again. So no opportunity to perform my own dastardly deeds. And I really wanted to see Xerxes with a mask as well.

    @icyliquid Thank you for putting in the time and effort to do this, period.

    The fact that it was cool and fun is almost a bonus.

    I love forum games that break up the ordinary. Sparing one day for something completely different is neat.

    I didn't really get that much spam, although I was only intermittently on the forums today.

    As for constructive criticism? I didn't actually get a chance to kidnap people once I got Stockholm Syndrome; never had the commands appear under peoples' posts, for multiple reasons I gather.

    The riddles were hard, or I don't know anyone on the forums. I've been reading these forums for 10 years, posting for 8, and I could not venture a guess for a single one.

    Those are some great riddles. I only saw a few of them during the day. Were the riddles sub-forum agnostic, or did it concentrate SE++/D&D/G&T/H&A centric-poster riddles as appropriate?

    I think some kind of countdown timer would be useful, if you could program that into the corner. I got both my Stockholm Syndrome and Informant badgers while I was reading the Honeypot, and I kept having to take a break every 10-15 minutes to start searching to see if I could actually do anything.

    (If you still have post timer restrictions in place for jailings or things like that, it might be a nice piece of code to add there too, assuming you want to reward someone for good behavior.)

    I saw the Slash one last night and knew who it was referring to, but couldn't remember their name, it drove me nuts. And when I saw the councilman one my mind thought -> Jerry (from Parks and Rec) -> Jerry Holkins -> Tycho, but alas.

  • GaslightGaslight Registered User regular
    Those are a lot more riddles than I thought there were. Most of those I never saw, and I was roaming around looking for them on multiple subforums, especially this morning.

  • kimekime Queen of Blades Registered User regular
    I'm pretty sure Lorc was the only one I knew that I saw throughout the day, although I could maybe have guessed a couple others now that I see them.

    Also there was a riddle about me yayyy! :D

    About the only problem I had with the game was the Geth spam all over the boards. Otherwise, it was pretty cool.

    Honestly, I don't know if it was a good idea to release the riddle list, though... I get the feeling that the riddle-makers might get a storm of angry "Why didn't you make one about me?????" PMs from people who were irritated that they didn't get picked.

    But yeah, for the amount of time you put in on this game, you made something pretty awesome. I look forward to what it's going to be like when you have an entire year to play with the concept.

    I'm not worried about this scenario. Try to imagine what the consequences for that kind of behaviour might be :)
