Re: Increment Decrement Game XLII
I kind of think that this game helped kill ASWoT and I'm glad to see that not enough people are playing in it to keep it going.
Back in the heyday, it sounded like a marvelous amazing fun game, and was. But it swiftly took over with people posting back and forth +1's, and -1's and soon a time limit for posting had to occur. People were logging in every 10 minutes or whatever, during a full 24-hour period, and this was before you could really do much at all on a cell phone. The story-based ASWoT games started to suffer as attention shifted to this game and eventually I said, "This is not healthy -- I'm stepping back." The game continued to go, though, until people finally got sick of it. But when they got sick of it, by extension, they sort of got sick of ASWoT and perhaps RPoL as well. And then they left, basically never to return.
I'm sorry I voted for this game and thought it would be a good idea.
