False analogy

November 02, 2014 03:11AM
The lottery randomly rewards a specific, desired behaviour - buying lottery tickets. Imm rewards are already random - except for writing a role, there's no formula that will guarantee you rewards, you could have awesome consistent role play for 50 hours and get nothing, you could get a reward for 5 minutes of awesome role play. The imms chose to reward specific behaviors - rp'ing well, longevity, helping on the newbie channel etc, the same way the lottery rewards playing the lottery. What you are espousing is that imm rewards should randomly reinforce just showing up and playing, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but as it stands now, the randomness of imm rewards in CF is EXACTLY like the lottery (except it has better odds), you just disagree with what it takes to win.

I still get CF pangs now and then, but there's no point in going back to CF now - it won't scratch the itch or sate the hunger, because my hunger is for a game that doesn't exist anymore :( (n/t)

vortexmagus October 30, 2014 10:04PM

If I didn't have to worry about edge points, I would play again. (n/t)

agraemas November 02, 2014 05:19AM

You don't have to worry about edge points because you will collect enough just by playing the game and leveling up to get a good handful of edges.

Frosty November 02, 2014 05:56AM

Do you know the numbers on it?

agraemas November 03, 2014 03:18PM

From my experiences...

legobelt November 03, 2014 08:49PM

+1 to this. I don't even want to comment on why I don't play anymore. But I still read forums (nt)

Carrock October 31, 2014 04:45AM

Both of you, get in the game right now, goddamn it. (n/t)

Doof November 01, 2014 11:00PM

Granted most of everything you have posted in this thread seems like bs to me, but

Rogue October 30, 2014 09:32AM

Ummm, we could uh, use technology and ummm stuff.... to draw new players in (n/t)

TL;DR Business as usual.

Wendigotorn October 30, 2014 07:52AM

Agree 100% in general, not entirely in specifics. Wish they listened to stuff like this. (n/t)

The_Joker October 30, 2014 04:00AM

Cf is all about interacting, so be the change you want to see

Quas October 30, 2014 04:54AM

Why not just disassociate rewards from fun?

Murphy October 29, 2014 10:54PM

Sindy was a blast...

deathkitty October 29, 2014 11:12PM

There's this problem with viewing CF as work.

Murphy October 29, 2014 11:27PM

I agree...

deathkitty October 29, 2014 11:40PM

Be flexible dammit.

Murphy October 30, 2014 12:06AM

What I mean to say is: have a grand goal that is achievable without relying on imms. (n/t)

Murphy October 29, 2014 11:29PM

Could not read, and I have a high tolerance for that kind of stupid writing. (n/t)

Artificial October 29, 2014 10:23PM

I may be drunk...

deathkitty October 29, 2014 10:35PM

Correct me if I am wrong but..

Bemus-ed October 29, 2014 10:11PM

Aggressive char doesn't mean griefer. Sindy con-died, ffs. (n/t)

Murphy October 29, 2014 10:35PM

I played SINDY yes.

deathkitty October 29, 2014 10:26PM

Quit trying to be a martyr

Bemus-ed October 29, 2014 10:35PM

Maybe you are new to CF

deathkitty October 29, 2014 10:38PM

Having a command and using it are different

zannon October 30, 2014 02:53AM

It's destructive to the game

daurwyn(VIP) October 30, 2014 07:55AM

gear is silly easy now

Quas October 30, 2014 04:52AM

Not every class can regear

daurwyn(VIP) October 30, 2014 07:58AM

Keep hiding behind your drunken ignorance if you want

Bemus-ed October 29, 2014 10:41PM

Name one point that was ignorant and I will concede.

deathkitty October 29, 2014 10:43PM

And just to address this...

deathkitty October 29, 2014 10:46PM

Huh?

Bemus-ed October 29, 2014 10:59PM

Now I know who...

deathkitty October 29, 2014 11:07PM

Listen to yourself

daurwyn(VIP) October 30, 2014 07:57AM

you don't get to make that choice ooc. good conjurers can learn the spell for a reason. nt

The Forsaken October 30, 2014 05:26AM
