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 12:08 PM, Thursday October 1, 2009 EDT the problem with these schemers is that they aren't thinking of anything new.
also seeing IPs won't change much. |

at 1:02 PM, Thursday October 1, 2009 EDT sleep is for the weak, and thrax, im not saying you should go around and ban everyone for the slightest show of favoritism, but maybe you should actually ban a few people
or convince ryan to give mod powers to someone else (coughdasorsamcough) then you can have the whole good mod/ bad mod thing going on most of the modding is just making sure the (insert ethnic group here) do not piss too many people off on the lower tables, and honestly most of the stuff i do isnt technically scheming, its more just trying to make the game a little bit more interesting. granted that 'making it interesting' involves farming, backstabbing, fake countering, loading freerolls, etc. but i dont think any of my 'scheming' is actually detrimental to the game, ive seen waaaaay more people cry, scream and quit over pga's and rampant vflags i guess what im trying to say is: scheming isnt whats slowly sucking the life out of kdice, kdice is whats slowly sucking the life out of kdice |

at 1:41 PM, Thursday October 1, 2009 EDT I didn't say scheming was sucking the life out of the website, I said banning a shitload of people would.
- Sharing should be illegal (and I've kinda already tried to do that) - Alts shouldn't be allowed (I'll be in the minority on this) - Point docking and editable RC's would be much sounder punishment to accounts than simply banning just so the player can go create another account and start all over again. - YES, MORE MODS WOULD BE LOVELY |
