In all seriousness, the hard feelings - even if you don't intend to - do target Blue.
Everytime you talk about what nonsense this was, how stupid the mechanics were or roles were, you're shitting in the design of a game someone created.
It undermines Blue's time, care, and creation of the game. I don't know Blue too well still, but showing mechanics that couldn't be added, setting goals to make the game enjoyable for everyone, shows me that this had thought put into it. Effort that probably feels like a big waste when seeing people bash the game to smithereens.
Honest criticism, instead of acerbic criticism, is being abandoned here.
Alot of RMs tend to favor indies and scum. It's an inherent imbalance that has yet to be worked out regardless of what hosts try.
I do agree, in order to be considerate of users who don't troll games and are legitimately strategizing to earn their title and win, that game breaking should not happen.
If it does, hosts in general should be clear and place a warning toward users who might not want to sign up for a game that allows bending of the rules to outsmart the host's design and rewards creativity.
There should be a definite distinction, so people like Ratchet know what they're signing into. If I was in the mood to play seriously throughout the entire game and I wasn't told or warned that the game and host can be swayed for entertainment, I technically wouldn't know what I signed up for and feel deceived and my own effort as a player would feel almost cheated.
Imo I think alot of these feelings would diminish greatly if there were disclaimers or "I take after Aries, and you know the rules in Aries games. If you want a SRM or RM game that prohibits gamebending, please sign up to this one hosted by this user."
Boom
Bam
Done
If someone is dumb or arrogant enough to sign up after the fact then they don't have the right to complain
. How was that Team heal working out for you?
