Waifu Game 8: Chat Thread.

Just got back from afest here in Texas I saw one Momoka there but it wasnt very good and there were way too many soul eater cosplays......

As for ideas well I think the reclaims were fine this time around and the system should be used again maybe with more than 10 this time. The post count is also fine since its not exactly a high number and keeps a few of the newfags away. A front page post would draw in a few more users to keep it more pronounced throughout the community. If you intend to ban a series make it only a couple just to restrict some from claiming the usual and give others a shot at them.

This makes avoiding any new things the ultimate idea. Applies to reclaims as well - lottery system's unnecessarily complicated, it's better to let everyone have a reclaim (or more, if you'd like) or have none at all.

shouldn't we bump the post requirement up since it's an older game?

There's a winner!

...there goes my Round 5! :P Time for backup.

Has the game ever had a one time trade thing? I think it would be kind of interesting but i'm aware of its many flaws.

why don't we lower the post requirement to 200 again? it's fun to have more people in this game.

I'd probably lean closer to dropping the post count than increasing it. The problem of less people being involved won't be improved by cutting out more people. Maybe best to just leave it and see if the stability helps anything.

well seeing as how the majority of users got the free 100+ post meeting the current post requirement shouldnt be that big a deal if it did drop at minimum it should be 200.

At least I tried lol. She wasn't in the list yet.

So I won the lotto reclaim and I already claimed 4 girls, can I claim my fifth even though it's only the 4th round?

you could in past reclaims so you should still be able to.

Banning popular series is a terrible idea, especially if the choice of what the popular series are is up to you alone.

The whole purpose of the waifu game, as I've come to understand, is that anyone can claim any waifu, so long as they haven't been claimed. Even if I don't agree with them, I can accept the changes you make to the reclaim rules, but I don't think you should be putting restrictions on who people can be able to claim. I get that it's your game and you get the final say, but in trying to "spicing up" the game, you might wind up pushing people away from playing.

I'm drunk, so maybe what I say doesn't matter, but it seems fucked up to limit the field.

That's what I think too. Sure, spicing it up by restricting popular series may make things more interesting, but it's questionable whether it will bring in much more participants. Many will be put off by that and not all of them may participate when the respective series get allowed. Surely there will be spikes, where more players join, when more popular series get allowed again, but I'm sure that many of them would have participated anyway (and from the start), if these series wouldn't be banned.

Banning popular series is not a bad idea in itself, but I doubt that it will bring in many players. It's very risky, at least. The player number may only rise by a tiny amount, it may even decrease.

How was it complicated? I think you're letting your personal wishes dictate your advice because what you're saying isn't logical; the reclaim lotto was quick, efficient, and worked exactly as it should have. I had fewer questions about the reclaim than any of the other newly enforced rules from the past. People also seemed genuinely excited about it. I know you're a proponent of 5 reclaims but wont happen as long as I run this game so please keep that in mind when you make future points.



The only thing you posted was "I think this will push people away" and "I don't think you should". Why? Explain why it will push people away and why you don't think I should do it. I'm not saying no, or telling you to be quiet, give me logical reasons why the banning of series ideas might be bad, "I don't like it" isn't enough for me.



Banning popular series is not for new users, it's a mechanic that might increase the tensions/fun for returning players.

I think you're reading more into my comment than there really is, never mentioned 5 (or 6) reclaims there.

As for complicated, it certainly seems a lot more trouble to put together a list of players, stream the drawing of winners, monitor their reclaim trades and the reclaims themselves, than to just list reclaims for every player (or even easier, the option with no reclaims at all).

I know you didnt mention 5 or 6 reclaims, I'm saying your wish for more reclaims is influencing the logic of your points.

Complicated for me, not the user base. If people have ideas on how to make the game better and I like those ideas, a little bit of extra effort on my part wont stop me.

As a player of 7 games myself I personally wouldn't mind making the game more interesting but I also dont want to be overly restricted which is why I stated earlier imposing only a few restrictions, say one or two, of the top 5-10 series would add a bit of spice without being overly restricted.

Also as I stated before advertise it a bit more alot of users weren't even aware it had started and lost their precious waifu......I feel for you somesome and Hentanize.

I figured that might have happened.

Well, here's hoping for better luck in 6 months.

I know this might piss off some/most I say new rule 24 hour wait time between claims. Some wait out a round or 2, or are simply waiting for a release date to claim a bunch of girls from a series in 1 post. Would make things more tense for someone trying to shore up on new or overlooked series. Also would make 5th round more interesting for those with a bonus 6th claim.

Im all go for this shit.
