School Survivor (Game Over, Congrats Hermione!)

[SensFan]

I swear I looked up Magic Kingdom a couple days ago to see how well I did.

You're thinking of Mushroom Kingdom.

Whoops. My bad.

This is why specs need to not talk about things. Because they don't understand what actually happens in the game because they don't see 95% of it

on a giant list of dumb things youve said this is the dumbest

[Drench]

maybs specs would understand more if y'all used your confessionals huh

[McMenno]

Aria wasn't a villain.

no one really thought aria was a villain we just didn't like her

I don't think there wereany real villains in School. (or at least making the merge)

Maybe that's why we were finding it boring.

maybe tracy?

Yeah and people watching survivor at home shouldn't talk about things either because they don't see 95% of it.

use confessionals more

"simples", to quote the meerkats in the insurance commercials

[zoraster]

The fact that spectators think I, as a player, should use my confessional is laughable to me. I've never played a game to be entertaining to those

watching

me play.

if you're not performing for an audience then how do you get your kicks???????

I'm literally only in this for the amusement of my peers

That's half the fun dude.

[Drench]

and you're conflating "use your confessional" with "be entertaining"

[Drench]

i think the last n pages have already said a lot about ~people playing to entertain~ vs whatever but if you just don't use your confessional at all and don't explain why you're doing what you're doing, that's gonna be a problem when it comes time to try to understand why you're doing what you're doing

[Drench]

also it's in rule b04

[Drench]

i love quadruple posting at 2am

[Chevre]

yeah use your confessional

at the very worst, people can see what you were thinking or what was going on and then if you don't win, people can help you see the holes in your game

pedit: how dare u drench

[McMenno]

zoraster... playing against the rules???

let's organise a revolution

[Drench]

impeach zor (again)

[Drench]

i mean whatever it's up to the individual players choice, and not everyone is the type of person who can just use a confessional naturally; it's not in their personality. but it makes it easier to figure out what's going on, how people are thinking, and on a player level to lay out thoughts and plans and notes

[zoraster]

#1 I did make posts in my confessional: http://s15.zetaboards.com/School_Surviv ... 0106408/1/

They were largely nonsense, but I made them.

#2 Despite what you said, there is ONLY one reason to post in a confessional and that's to entertain. I guess there's also the "journaling" mentality, but you could easily do that in a word document or whatever.

Right. In other words, it makes it entertaining to spectate. Otherwise Spectators are lost and have no idea what's going on. A reality show without interviews/confessionals would be boring because there'd be little context.

[Drench]

I slay better than Beyonce (hard to believe, but it's true!)

you're right this is nonsense, nobody slays better than beyonce

[Chevre]

idk

like among other things, there was all my drivel about tribal lines and pagongings in Nexus. I'm sure the spectators could've sussed it out through other means, but because I was directly saying "gee I wonder hope if that Blue Team I spent 24 hours in will stick together?", spectators and moderators were immediately like "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING SHUT IT DOWN" and now that I've gon back and read the spec forums, I've learned a little nugget of info.

Of course part of is entertainment. But if you're entertaining it drives people to your confessional to see what sort of malarkey you're pushing out today.

But as a player, why do I care? It either (a) doesn't affect the outcome or the game or (b) DOES affect the outcome of the game in a way that's probably unintentional and thus less than ideal (unless a mod has designed a mechanic that utilizes spectators).

[Chevre]

It gives you something to do while you're waiting for PMs to reply

It just lets you lay out your thoughts. Like I rarely go back to what I was thinking or anything but having to type it all out lets me see the forest and the trees.

I don't know it's fun

[xRECKONERx]

Because mods should get something out of running a game like insight into wtf is exactly happening

[Drench]

yeah i mean if you feel strongly then go ahead, i'm more concerned with "oh the spectators didn't see what actually happened therefore they should Not" talk anyway because there is actually a cool and exciting way to prevent that called confessionals
