LSG Modding Philosophy Survey

Aesthetics versus Humor in moderators:

I personally associate humor-type games with a particular moderator that I do not find as funny as a lot of other people do.

I'm not offended, I was just calling you out on trying to be vague

I'd like to say I focus primarily on challenge design and fairness, and I think my humor is just a byproduct of me trying to keep people from being bored most of the time! I wouldn't say the humor is a "selling point" of my games though, since I try to keep the gameplay far removed from the jokes. Cutthroat and Ned's in particular I feel like we put a lot of effort into the challenges and I'm proud of what we accomplished there, whereas the "humor" is always just our way of not making all the challenge posts and mod posts boring to read

Omg I forgot all about that post, I was so proud of how it kept introducing new terminology with absolutely no explanation for any of it

I think what I'm trying to say is that I don't actively consider aesthetics or humor when designing games, it just.. happens!!

the idol hidden inside a baby is probably the most humor has ever factored into actual game design
