I really agree with these things.

I don't. I think it's name calling, condescending attitudes, and general hatefulness that makes games unfun, not trying to win. If you say "I won't lynch silenced players" you encourage people to fake being silenced. I don't see how that make things more fun, and I don't see why civilians should have to let baddies live out of courtesy (but not the other way around) when baddies already win a majority of games on the site.

I agree with those things also. Condescending attitudes are awful, as is general hatefulness. And tbh, I thin people talk about baddies self silencing, etc., more than they actually do it, lol. I have never done it. And nothing is more frustrating than being lynched when you can't defend yourself.

Nothing.

But yeah, condescension & hatefulness are worse. I was just saying that I think the culture is more about winning than playing, and that was an example of such. And I think game design had a lot to do with our poor civvie record early on, I feel that it is evening out.

Linki~ YES!! I think occasional intensity is awesome, constant intensity is not. Ya gotta post some youtubes, some gifs, some OT occasionally to break the mood.

I think alot of it is that the culture here has become somewhat more about winning than about playing the game. That may be an oversimplification, we had lots of people whose primary focus was to win in the LP/RM/HV/TP culture, but "not killing the funny", not sucking the fun out of the others to feed your own, was more of a "thing".

Like not lynching the incapacitated, or not killing total nubs during the first cycle. Those were the norm, and done out of courtesy. Now those things seem to be seen as some sort of a weakness. Thats where the strong "anti-info" thing came from; baddies games were being ruined, through no fault of their own, and what fun is winning under those circumstances? It is no fun playing with civvies who seem to think they are dealing with actual baddies, lol. Even when I am not bad myself, maybe even MORE when i am not bad.
