ive had my fair share of scheming. i was part of the original cabal. i was part of the flagfest for integral. i AIM pga'd with wish two times in january. i tried to funnel points to chris0123 in one game in march. however, i have come to the conclusion that scheming sucks and is detrimental to the game and the community.
alas, i must admit that i agree with leekstep (dear god, help us all): i believe the game should not include favors carried over from one game to the next. i believe each game should be played fairly. most of all, i think scheming should become a bannable offense. scheming involves AIMing, PGAing, abusing loopholes, funneling points, community accounts, and who knows what else. there are groups of kdicers who, at the beginning fo each month, get together and decide how to mess up kdice, or how to outglory the last gloriously annoying scheme from the previous month. but i was told by someone high up recently that scheming is actually good for the site, and it creates drama, which draws in more traffic. the reason the schemers scheme are many fold: 1) to showoff to each other, 2) to fuck Ryan, 3) to show Ryan which loopholes he needs to close off, 4) to win more. i dunno, i guess i would rather have less traffic with no scheming than more traffic with idiots running around wreaking havoc. i just want to know what the kdice community wants. do they want schemes with drama or do they want simple gameplay? |

at 7:34 AM, Thursday October 1, 2009 EDT I'm just biding my time till Ryan allows mods to see IP addresses so I can view the shared accounts and ban them. That would get rid of 50% of the scheming.
You guys try too hard to scheme every month and I don't have enough time to keep up with it. Mod controlled RC's would be cool too. Banning is no fun. Making the cheaters have to work harder to achieve their goals would be much more fun. |

Like I said to Ryan, if I don't watch games every single day throughout the entire month it's kinda pointless. I can't dock points. I can't create/edit RC's. I can't view IPs and reference them to account sharers. And I refuse to simply ban every single person I think PGA's (or OTF's/favors/etc.). That list would be too long and would suck the life out of this website. The schemers don't need to be eliminated by bans IMO. They need to be annoyed and frustrated so much that scheming becomes unappealing and loses it's "fun". I don't have time to "chase" (pun intended) every single scheme and PGA accusation around this website and I'm not banning %50 of the top 100 just to prove a point. I'm here to moderate, not dictate. My $.02 |
