What kind of game would people like?

Moderation: I agree completely, but there really is a lot of good roleplaying going on, if you read the right threads. There were a couple I read on the second or third page where the guys were having all sorts of adventures talking about their prophets fighting trolls or whatever. It owned.

Of course there are some people who are bad at it and break character immediately when other people don't play their way...IndyPendant comes to mind. But you have to take the good with the bad and you can just avoid guys like that if you need.

So don't give up hope! I much prefer that my nation works thematically. I absolutely don't care about min maxing and will probably do pretty poorly when it comes to actually playing. For instance I absolutely won't pick a pretender who doesn't fit perfectly with the nation concept (the Pheonix with Abysia makes no sense to me, for example, even though it's probably a great choice).

@moderation: Check out the Primea thread. I´d say we´ve got some nice role playing going on there. Acouchi was good to, but much of the role playing there has migrated into private PMs now.

I would like games with a focus on role playing. Like with a rule you have to introduce your pretenter properly with a personality, motivation etc.. And contribute to the forum thread a little bit every turn. There could also be a main story created beforehand, a kind of scenario.

I would like to organize such a game when I have finished my newbie games and got some more experience, but that may take a while.

I like the good vs. evil idea.

This sounds interesting, which threads were these?

Ah, but the difference is I do prefer to minimax as much as possible within the rules. I'm competitive that way. Of course the downside to this is that every nation starts to feel the same, like an evil empire that wants to beat everyone else. However if there are commonly accepted rules limiting what you can do to more thematic choices, well I think that could be fun. That way you don't have to limit yourself strategically to become more thematically enjoyable.

Okay, I don't want to hijack Llamabeast's thread too much so refer to this thread for more details on my crazy Good vs Evil game idea.
