Default Just wondering....

....is there any point of so many games on here?


Firstly, in games which require skill/talent people vote usually for their friends (even if they performed the worst). Which strikes me as somewhat pointless sometimes. (and no i'm not on about BOTS, I mean actual skill/performance games )


Secondly, it gets so confusing with so many running at the same time, 2/3 are ok, but more than that is silly.

Yeah I'm the same as Nickyy, I only really look at those which interest me. I think beyond things like the X Factor/Pop Idol types, where you can participate properly; and things like BOTS & Elimination which are well organised and popular; there isn't much need for these games.

However, that's not to say I think we ought to get rid of them, because the people that organise them put a lot of thought and effort into them. I just think it'd be better if they were toned down a little bit.

I think all the games people really want to see should have a sub-folder or we shouldwhen we enter the games section enter into a box which game we want and the thread with the game comes up.

Quite a few of the games that are going on at the moment haven't had any permission from the admins I think, however I have gained permission for TiBB Idol and I expect Arneldo has got permission to run NTM. Why can't we go back to needing permission to limit how many games can go on at one time?

Yes there it has gone a bit over board however I think some people are taking it a bit too seriously. I mean you don't have to look at the thread if you don't want to and most of them are only in one big thread anyway!

I agree there is way too many at the moment. I think we only need room for the well run ones.

I agree. I spoke to James about Elimination 2, waiting for response. There just suddenly seemed like so many games appeared in one day.

I think a lot of the new ones will end up being cancelled anyway because not many people will bother voting on the eliminations.

I agree, almost like a TV guide except with dates instead of times. That way we can enjoy them all live and it will stop traffic.

Most of the games on here are just stupid
There are a few games which are really interesting and good but can sometimes get spoilt by friends voting for friends.

I really like that idea. There is way too many games on here at the moment, some people just make them for the sake of it I think, like an idea for a game pops into their head and they decided to start it. I don't mind the ones which are run properly and people apply for permisson and puts lots of effort into them (i.e. Arneldo - NTM, Matt08 - TiBB Idol, Matt - Apprentice, Sam - e-Love Affair, Rory - The Mole/Village) but some of them for example TiBB's When Woman Ruled the World, I just think is there any need for them?

I agree. I like BOTS, NTM, TiBB Idol, Elimination, The Mole.


But some games are so confusing. and no thought placed into them.
Games need to be well thought through and organised to make them worthwhile being on here, not thought of there and then.

There;s not and they aren't very well run or even well written.

Oh and not to be pedantic but didn't Rory actually state himself that he didn't ask for permission?
