This is fine TBH. Burn auctionsIn post 15, Haschel Cedricson wrote:One thing I noticed, the Idols and Items category is almost entirely focused on Idols for the lower two tiers. By these standards pretty much every game that's ever had an auction qualifies as twisty instead of standard.- BROseidon

MLS scores an 11, by my count. MLS being in the top tier is, IMO, a reasonable heuristic.In post 34, Haschel Cedricson wrote:
I'm not entirely sure that's a problem. The purpose of the upper category is to make people say "Woah, is this game the sort of thing I want to sign up for?" If games have a hard time hitting that category then that makes the ones that do stand out that much more.In post 32, BROseidon wrote:I feel like thresholds for the upper categories should be a bit lower? Getting 16-20 is very hard with the reduced points
Like something that is 2nd-most complex tier across the board should hit the highest tier.- BROseidon

We should maybe define the swaps one a bit more because I hard-disagree with this and think anything 2-swaps and below should be a 0 and that 3 or 4 swaps should be a 1.In post 40, Haschel Cedricson wrote:Swaps and Shakeups: 2. There were multiple swaps at unpredictable times.- BROseidon

The problem is that Civivor was super twisty while being communicated as explicitly not-twisty because the mods legitimately thought the game wasn't "that bad."
The point of this is creating a standard so that when the signup says "this game is X twisty" everyone is on the same page as to what that means. Even if two people may disagree on what "highly twisty" means, having an agreed upon standard means that I at least know that when a game is called "X twisty" I have some reference of what that means.- BROseidon

And that was a function of not being transparent of what the pre-merge was. A number of players were just like "I don't want to play this." Also the jigsaws were, by far, the biggest mistake of anything within the design itself (should have had far fewer, the rewards for them be much weaker, and instead set things up to force trades to be a more important thing to emphasize the social aspect further).
The constant shipwrecks making people have to prioritize relationships was 100% intentional, and I'm honestly okay with how that played out. Without that, the game would have been more likely to have just been a straight-pagong (it was looking like one at the start of the merge even despite that). - BROseidon
