Standardized Rules and Role PMs (Open Games)

[superstring91]

this is going into sitewide standardization. which i am NOT a fan of. the idea of an open game is that all roles are made public right? i think a base set of rules is ok. but the mod should be able to slightly modify them if he/she feels fit. but as far as rules around here go, most are very similar, as new mods take them from old mods [for the most part].

as far as standard role PMs go, i think that is a very bad thing. perhaps some suggested PMs for inexperienced mods, but forcing people to standardize is bad.

I'm only conceiving of standard role PMs as being

necessary

for Open Games, which are supposed to be standard anyway, and only available as a tool for anyone else that wants to use them. They wouldn't be forced upon anyone doing Mini Normals, Large Normals, or any sort of theme game.

i suppose i should really check out the definition of an open game. as far as i know, it just means that all roles are published.

as for the standardization leaking into minis and normals, before the server switch, there was some policy discussion wherre standardization was a big deal. i, as you can see, want minimal standardization [if any]

With a bit more standardization, we can have a bot do the modding. ;)

i sincerely hope this was a joke. and theres already a bot that does that. its more of a scumchat adaptaion.

if you check out the policy discussio threads, youll see that i am anti-standard.

i am in complete favor of mod creativity. also modding and creating the game is fun.

all the games would be mechanical. cold. heartless.
