IOT Hall of Fame

[DroopyTofu]

Somebody should run a IOT so horrendously bad it's actually good.

Sidenote: Would anyone play a game with basically no rules? Something like:

Rules:
Be civil, don't powergame, and try to keep things somewhat realistic. Go.

 

[mayor]

I think that would be a complete chaos.. oh the lulz

 

[SouthernKing]

That is what I was going to basically do IOTX as...until everyone and their mother shot it down
I can still do it of course

 

[CivOasis]

I wouldn't. Just because it would be a complete mess.

Well I now hold the rights to it so:
-No provinces
-Using a map of the world 201X, pick a country
-Your military = your country's RL military
-There is a backstory
-Always war + everyone is at war with everyone else. (Might change)

Not quite

 

[SouthernKing]

I changed it
It's worth a try

 

[Mosher]

That would not be an IOT.

 

[DroopyTofu]

Are you implying that OT Poster's Empire, IOT I, and IOT III were not real IOT's? That's more or less how all of them funtioned. As time has gone on, games have become more and more complex and more and more rules have been introduced. Originally, they were free-for-alls where claims, military, and diplomacy were entirely at the mercy of people not powergaming and being good, kind players. It worked basically well.

 

[SouthernKing]

Hey, if I say it's an IOT, then it's an IOT. There really isn't a definition for an IOT.

 

[hoplitejoe]

Personally I define IOT as a game and NES as an interactive story.

 

[Mosher]

Homo erectus was not a homo sapien.

 

[Tani Coyote]

All of these.

Funny considering you contributed to Fiat Lux's.

[Sonereal]

Homo erectus was not a homo sapien.

Indeed. Those rulesets really wouldn't hold these days.

 

[Double A]

Doesn't make them not IOTs.

 

[SouthernKing]

Personally I define IOT as a game and NES as an interactive story.

As much as I'd like to argue my side, pease let's not bring IOT vs. NES into this.

 

[Double A]

Personally

Oh look a word.

 

[SouthernKing]

Oh look a word.

lolwut

 

[hoplitejoe]

Feel free to bring your point of view into my PM box.

Iron and Blood 1 for Hall of Fame: Arguably one of the most successful games in IOT history, it ran for over half a year, survived a GM switch very well, and brought out a very believable, fun, and dynamic world due to great game-play dynamics, great players, and of course, great GM's.

IOTIV for Hall of Fame: I pinpoint IOTIV as basically the start of the modern, organized IOT. Thorvald brought control and organization to a game which before this iteration, had none. He "tamed" the wild west that was the original IOT's so to speak.

 

[Tee Kay]

IOTIV for the Hall of Fame: partly due to the epic ANTIEDO conflict, but otherwise almost entirely due to Thorvald's impressive stewardship, for keeping the game together and making it actually memorable even after everything's gone to hell.

Also, Robert Can'ts MIOT for the Hall of Fame, as one of the more novel and imaginative IOTs out there.
