The Future & Point Whores
Posted By: Ryan at 10:01 PM, Thursday July 24, 2008 EDT
I'm at a point where I'm rethinking quite a few things about the structure and future of the games. I want to get feedback about the future of this game from the people who love this game as much as I do.
First of all I'd like to let all the point whores know that since they don't respect the game, I don't respect their opinion for this question. Accumulating points is meant to be secondary with the fun of the game of primary importance - and the majority of everyone has it right.
So, let me know your thoughts and ideas. I'd like to hear big long term vision ideas and not features like mouse-over-display or game playback (although these are great featuers). If you were to forget everything about kdice except the in-game experience how would build big and great things around it?

you cant... - revolt - improve your score - domsteal - do a nice truce vs truce fight (cause points are set after flag) - and so on... |

Best ideas so far: -Tournements -a more diverse medal system to characterize the players -experimental games on a test server |

at 6:24 AM, Friday August 1, 2008 EDT I totally agree with Shevar with 2 minor remarks:
1.) As this is a social game, we all made some friendships in here. But in the last some months we are almost avoiding each other because of the senseless !PGA! cries. So personally I would welcome a team-version. 2.) On tournaments - please don't forget two things. The first is the already mentioned problem of time-zones. The second one is the problem of _real_ bad starts we know all too well. You can be the best player ever, there are starts, you simply can not win. That's OK in the regular game-play but not in Tournament. Keep going Ryan, kdice is great. |

at 9:48 AM, Friday August 1, 2008 EDT @SHevar: ehm sorry, i just clicked on reply, and nothing appeared, so i did it again... argh. we need a real forum, or at least some more options (;
ppl like ryan should just spectate the higher tables much more, or maybe get some kind of s-mod to do it. i rly dunno... some other medals would obviously be cool too. |

at 7:54 PM, Friday August 1, 2008 EDT can we add some fun to the game by allowing voting for:
1. the best avatar 2. the worst avatar 3. the most decent player 4. the worst douche bag |
