Waifu Game 12 Changes

I'm ok with this.

All at once or 3 rounds?

I gotta start preparing RIGHT NOW.

Nice, I came back at just the right time. When is the game starting?

There is yet faith in humanity. Thank you kind sir.

Also.... WHY ARE WE NOW LIMITED TO 3 THIS ROUND? i already had my top 5 picked out with back ups in case they got take :(

Um... read the name of the thread? This is the changes TMS is planning on making to the next Waifu game, not the one that Pump is still "currently" running.

I know this, but i was talking about next round. I always like getting my first picks, so i wait, and refresh.

There is no next round. The current game's 5th round will last until TMS starts the next game. And from what he had implied is that the 12th game will only have one round.

Kinda What I meant... i derped with next round. meant next game

I have been faithful to my waifu.

But I am a generous man, and allow others to join in.


Sharing is caring.


And daring.


Ball-bearing.

Well then, I can't speak on behalf of TMS, but this is my best guess.

We'd be limited to 3 because that's what the person who's running the game decided, obviously. 3 limits the number of waifus floating around. It offers more breath-ability when people choose their waifus, meaning that there's a greater chance that your waifus won't be claimed by someone else. However, this is also more restrictive, as you must narrow down your "standards for a waifu".

To make it more competitive and exciting, albeit it could be debatable, there is only one round. This means that the first one to post could nab three of the most popular waifus. In my own honest opinion, this will create mass havoc during the very beginning of the round as there is a flaw in "being the first to claim" after the host AND in the fact that there will be many multitudes of people re-posting because someone got to their picks first. The latter will be very hard, and very difficult to track. That is, unless, you have someone who is able to be very thorough and very attentive to detail, as someone running the list of who has been claimed and by whom.

The former will be the biggest debacle in having only one round. Since there is no "perfect" server, or website... there will be problems when people post at the EXACT same time. It notoriously happened a lot when Waar was host of the Waifu Game, during the very first round. To make it clearer to what I mean, take this as an example, and for all intents and purposes is made up:

Since TMS is the host, he gets the very first claim.
TMS claims Noire from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Cherche from Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Olivia from Fire Emblem: Awakening.
------------------------------
Sneakyone claims Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, Haruhi Suzumiya from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Tsumiki Miniwa from Acchi Kocchi.
------------------------------
Revelation claims Haruhi Suzumiya from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Nana Asta Deviluke from To Love Ru, and Eve (aka Golden Darkness) from To Love Ru.
------------------------------
SneeakyAsian claims Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, Eve (aka Golden Darkness) from To Love Ru, and Chocolat from Ore no Nōnai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Rabu Kome o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru.

Sneakyone, Revelation, and SneeakyAsian all made their posts at the exact same time, down to the last millisecond. For one person, it could look like Sneakyone posted before SneeakyAsian who posted before Revelation. For another person, it could look like Revelation posed before SneeakyAsian who posted before Sneakyone. And so on and so forth for all possibilities. Now it comes down, how do you decide who posted first? How do you determine that, when their posts are in one order on the page, but when you refresh the page, they're in a different order? This is the dilema for only one round where you claim all your waifus at once.

I can spout problems with the rules as they stand right now, but it won't mean squat if TMS does what he wants despite how hard it'd be to the host and lister (who makes the "claimed" list) to determine precedence.

Out of the long and short of it... Just suck it up like the rest of us do, and prepare for the biggest battle of your life in the Waifu Game.

Post numbers.

Technically, there are no more post numbers (hidden by the date/time stamp). And technically, there are post numbers (hidden by the date/time stamp). However, I don't think it'd be feasible to have to record each post number to determine who posted first or not. And to be completely honest, I don't even find that relying on them is trustworthy given the situation I posted about above. Either way, the posts won't "settle down" until roughly a couple days after the posts are made, if even then.

And then there are those that delete their posts and throw the whole system off balance.

By and by, there is no perfect way to determine this stuff when there are human variables thrown into the equations, despite the fact that there are people who think they can even predict what is supposedly "free will".

Just because you're lazy doesn't mean that the post numbers are gone now.

It isn't a question of being lazy or not. It's more of a question of "Do we really want to make it take hours/days to determine who got whom?". This will mostly come into play when people make claims, think they got the claims when they surely didn't, by their post #, and come back to late to even realize it. By that time, their back-up waifus have the greatest possibility of already being taken. And this wouldn't be just an isolated few incidents. This will predictably happen nearly 70% of the time, or more; because, who looks at the post number anymore since Jacob "hid" it? I certainly don't, and I can say that nearly or over 90% of those on Fakku don't anymore.

Edit: In my opinion, there are too many "ifs" and an even greater amount of "negatives" from doing everything all at once.

Well, The Negatives

• 3 Waifus

• Possibly even more bullshit from Gamehost.

THe positives

• Hilarity that comes with the chaos.

• Laughing at TMS foiled plan (or whatever that is)

I honestly hope this isn't a joke... but it's not like we haven't heard this one before.

Keystrokes.

Real men only need one waifu.

I think you ment Faitful.
