Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread Talk

[geoschmo]

Tesco, I am not sure what the point of your initial post is. Most of the items you have marked as "Depends on Rules". Does that mean you only think they are wrong to do if they are specifically mentioned by the game owner? If that is what you mean, that is exactly the reason Fyron included them in the list in the other thread. It's not intended to be a declarative list of things that are gamey. It's intended to be a list of things that are considered gamey by some people so the game owner would be advised to mention specifically at game setup if they are to be allowed. It's supposed to be a list of things to discuss prior to the game so that the game owner doesn't find himself in a situation after someone has done it in the game. New game owners may not know about all these possible issues, or anyone could simply forget one or two. Or worst of all the game owner could be aware of them but make an assumption that everyone thinks it is or isn't gamey and expect everyone else to think likewise. Using this list can help avoid those bad situations.
