Topic

generic proposal of controversial game idea

i would like to propose a change to the game that some people will hate.

this will stir up a discussion about how it will manifest in-game.

it's not that i love trouble; it's just that i would rather be talking passionately about glitch than sitting and not playing it.

so. insert your own hated idea here. don't tell us what it is, but argue fiercely for it.

  • Ok...so now the truth comes out. People refuting their own arguments. Next we're going to hear that the cinnamon-cheese mod has frelling SEMICOLONS in it. Cinnamon; cheese. Why can't we stop with this overpopulation of semicolons? It's completely ruining. Completely.

    p.s. Hai.

  • I was proving a point; that makes it okay to contradict myself; and semicolons; and I'm still right, whatever it was I said.

  • Are you working on your Night Cheese?  Perhaps there is a slanket somewhere that you should be filling with your farts.

  • at the risk of derailing this thread entirely, i just want to say that i live in vermont.

    these days it really helps to have a game to play and absent that, it really helps to laugh.

    so thanks for this.

    carry on.

  • This game is so dumb and everyone who plays is also dumb.  You should all get a real life like me.  Help society become better by making comments about shows that I hate, books I haven't read and movies I haven't seen.  Oh and games I don't play obsessively until 4am even on a work night when I should be sleeping because the test is ending soon and I need to get every second of playtime in.

  • By the way, I really like cheese... except for cheeses in the Bleu family.  I've tried and I just can't do it.  I might be "wrong" about this and that is okay.  I've been wrong about a great number of things in the past (including the direction of QuikTrip from my house, my first marriage, picking up hitchhikers on the freeway and what will happen when you put your dog in roller skates) so one more sure won't hurt.

  • As @flask has already derailed this thread, I just want to say I live in Florida and most of our cheese comes from Wisconsin.

  • tl;dr

    I just scanned the page and all I could make out was the abundance of the terms "cheese" and "semicolons". What's with the controversy between cheeze and semicolons?

  • I want to get rid of the Vendors, raise the prices of house, and stop donations from being a direct conduit to the next level. I have several detailed arguments, despite the (virtual) negative team's arguments to the contrary. Their arguments make sense, but have several huge flaws in them:
    (a) We do not need an easy game to play. A challenging game would be more attractive and more engaging than a simple, mindless game of endless clicking will ever be.
    (b)Vendors stop the Auctions from being as competitive and flexible as it can be. Currently, the things that have the most price changes are items that are not sold by vendors. If vendors don't sell thing we can craft, at the very least, our Auctions will have more point to it.

    Now, my arguments:
    1. Shrines should give favour, and favour ONLY. Maybe some XP when emblems are earned, but having the shrines give XP is like providing players with an XP fountain.
    2. Vendors should not sell craftable items because of the lack of reflexivity in the AH it causes. It would be better if finished products are either removed or priced exorbitantly. 
    3. Prices of houses (especially Alakol)- Houses should be bigger and better, but priced higher, because it would show that it IS possible for someone to survive in Glitch without a house. In fact, many people neglect their houses, because of the lack of motivation to use it. Instead of houses storing items, what about having banks littered throughout the world, and going to the Bureaucratic Hall to open a bank account? The Hall is fairly redundant at its current state anyway, so why not give it another use? And about Animal Kinship, there can be little 'self serve farms' scattered around the Grumbla, so people can collect their milk and stuff. Also, without a house, people can specialize. Here, it seems to be everyone having everything because we can do nearly everything from our house, with a few exceptions. Roaming the world gives more motivation to specialize.

    Just in case you were wondering, yes, I am in the debate team. Which reminds me, I have to write my debate.

  • I think it is high time. For some more sentence fragments in here; also, a semicolon. No, wait; make that two. Pass the no-no and very, very stinky cheese please (unless you are Djabriil, in which case pass the Tofu or other Substitute of your Choice...though of course NOT clipped in a Clothespin).

  • Good things about Glitch:

    Cheese; piggies; cheese; spice trees; cheese; naming animals; cheese; semicolons

    Bad things about Glitch:

    "We're currently closed"

    Solution:

    Replace "We're currently closed" with cheese. Problem solved. The world is a better place.

  • sentence fragments are so not good;  they should never be followed by a semicolon; or cheese. Unless they are. In which case they should be; or cheese either.  Unless one prefers tofu. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i'm not going to name any names but someone up there said "retarded babies" and there is currently a campaign going on to eradicate the use of the R word as a slur used in this kind of context that i would like to bring to your attention. this person should be shunned from glitch, and if you know him/her in person you should tell him/her that s/he is a real dickwad.

  • You do know that this entire thread is making fun of posts like that, yeah? Maybe I'm missing something.
    Them's just jokes... perhaps on the offensive side, but ultimately- jokes.

    "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." is a grammatically valid sentence in the English language?
    So take that punctuation!  You are completely unnecessary!  (Except of course for the &)

  • I haven't read all the posts in this thread but I will claim that I have.

    I have thought long and hard about replying to this because I wasn't sure I wanted to get involved and/or descend to everybody else's level.

    However I felt it necessary to indicate that I strongly disagree with the idea mentioned in some specific post waaaay back in the thread. A post that everybody's now forgotten about because the conversation has moved on.

    I may or may not raise valid points in an over-long discussion of that post. However my points will be lost and ignored because, as previously mentioned, everybody's put that aside and moved on.

    [This is actually a piss-take of most of my own posts. And, true to style, it does appear that the conversation has already moved on]
    [Also: best thread ever, and I vote Arii for best post ever. I want to copy that & paste it into a dozen other threads in my online life]

  • Some of the things I have seen mentioned here are some of the things I have seen mentioned in some other places. Not all other places. But some. And what worked in those other places will surely work here.

    But the stuff in some of those places that didn't work WON'T WORK HERE! And even if it does work here it can't be nearly as good as other stuff already is elsewhere.

    I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU PEOPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS !

  • I would like to point out that the grammar and spelling of many people in this thread are atrocious, even though most of the examples I could cite are merely typos. I have nothing constructive to offer, but gain a sense of superiority by dismissing your arguments on the basis of the arbitrary rules of language.
