The prefix for cooperative games - final poll

[CivOasis]

A shame, that probably would have ended the poll then and there.

What about just GAME?

 

[CivOasis]

Wouldn't have helped, not everything is a game.

Wouldn't have helped, not everything is a game.

Isn't everything that's going to fall under RP/IAAR (whichever wins) a game?
Let's plays, stories etc already have their own categories.

 

[CivOasis]

No, not what I am making. Everything currently, yes.

 

[dot80]

Well your's technically is a game, the players still influence things.

 

[CivOasis]

I would have compared it more to a contest, but, sure, whatever.

I seriously doubt they will, and I'd side with you guys on not having additional tags. Civ4 has all the expansion tags that are used. Why would they add more tags that would have to have subtags of some form along the lines of [Vanilla-Story] or [BTS-RP]? It would be idiotic.

Okay, you've got a point there. But still, the name will spread.

99% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot.

True. Also, 75% of statistics are bull.

Seriously though, my original point remains.

I found this funny because there are a ton of people who play RP/IAARs on the Civ5 forums that don't even own, much less play, Civilization 5.

I meant people who play IAARs! And you don't need to own any piece of software other than a browser to play an IAAR.

I don't think it's like that. Mmmm...tomatoes.

I think it's like that. IMO, we should start petitioning OT to be called "That Place Where People Do Stuff On The Internet Whilst Eating Banana's"

Ah, but how many are planning to join one in the future? Honestly, I'm just glad that we haven't seen the sudden and "unexplained" influx of votes from the Civ4 community like on the last poll.

They were concerned about the name of their IAARs. There's your explanation.

Correction. Civ3 S&T person. I don't see too many other Civ3 regulars around here, ever.

That's true as well.

I would have compared it more to a contest, but, sure, whatever.

You mean like Yoshi's The Amazing Race? Because IAAR fits that as well.

 

[CivOasis]

No, not like that at all.
And my main concern was just attracting the right audience.
Call it advertising worries, if you will.

 

[dot80]

If I were you civ I would keep it under story regardless of what they choose here.

 

[CivOasis]

Really? OK then.

 

[mayor]

How I love the internet and the discussion that are there

 

[Mosher]

Civ, a contest is still a game.

 

[The_J]

So, poll closed, the winner is IAAR, but only with 3 votes.

 

[hoplitejoe]

(If there is a revote I will have to kill someone though)

 

[Sonereal]

Thank God for the electoral college. We pretty much won by ALL the votes!


Link to video.

 

[CivOasis]

No more voting. That's my vote.

 

[The_J]

No more voting. That's my vote.

Due to the fact that unrelated groups might invade relevant polls, that is also be the thing i would say. It obviously doesn't work in the intended way.

 

[hoplitejoe]

When will this be implemented?

 

[The_J]

When the admins have time -> .
