HOW'S THE GAME?

[paradisamods]

It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as

HOW'S THE GAME?

Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.

This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at valawie (Valerie), fan of todd (TF), or never die ftw (Ashley).

Anonymous will be on for this round. Sock journals are still allowed.

Please feel free to bring up any game-related topic you'd like to discuss. All topics will be linked in the main post.

I can't quite agree on this one. I only have one character in game, something I've kept myself at so far because I knew what I'd be able to handle, so maybe that's why I've never struggled to make it. But 50 comments in a month just doesn't seem like a lot to me, and if there's a post or log involved, it's even easier.

I don't know, but I (personally) think that this issue was resolved when the comment count was specified. Lowering it would make for less incentive for people posting, and really, I like to see that motivation in place. Not that I don't sympathize with those who struggle to meet AC, but for the sake of opinion!

Gonna second this here.

I mean, fuck, for September 2013 I made activity with my two characters three days into the month. Granted, yes, I am a fast tagger, but I still get boomeranged, and I certainly don't lay down the number of tags I used to. Most of those tags are with CR I've acquired in the past few months, to boot, it's not like I'm sitting there and hammering out tag after tag with the same people. It's just that to me, fifty tags feels like nothing, idle chitchat on the journals on top of more plotty threads. 50 doesn't go very far.

Making the number any lower just seems like lowering the bar, to me. When I struggle with a character, it tends to be because I've bitten off more than I can chew RP-wise and am already having motivation issues, not because 50 is too high. It sucks when you can't make check, but I think being realistic about how much you have time to do is a big thing, too.
