A Shady Goblin (Ring Roll) in Warsilk Woods

Ok, we'll see what people in game think about it.

Simplicity and intelligently are two different things. But why people think rolling at a set time is difficult is beyond me. /shrug.

Because we've played on this server.

I swear, I'm not a cynic, I'm an optimist (there's no way I could have invested so much time in the wiki if I wasn't) ... but I'm a realist first, and more than half a decade here has taught me that player agreements are incredibly hard to make happen, and they only ever succeed when they are dead simple.

preroll is bad because it diminishes the feeling you've accomplished something by socking

because this idea is wildly open ended with obvious flaws. The most obvious of them is - Person X isn't an everyday forum user shows up to camp Shady after the designated roll time. How does that conversation transpire when you say, "sorry roll was 5 hours ago" and they respond "I was at work..."

ROFL, and there's that.

Seriously though, if I could wave a magic wand that let me institute a system of my choice (but not change the spawn time; it's a shitty magic wand) I would make pre-roll the standard. My point is not that it's great to sit there for hours waiting and that I like doing it.

My point is, this is P99, and we don't have a magic wand.

Roll at set time. Winner turns in. Pretty simple.

I would argue as simple as our current roll within 5 seconds. But whatever...

Hope someone Siryado's it again today. Can claim they don't agree with the current agreement.

Explain to them how it works, they show up tomorrow.

So I guess Ill take vacation time from work to pre-roll for something that will spawn after I would have returned home from work...

How do you not see the flaw here? It's like your kitchen's on fire and you're still taking orders

Pre roll is only good if you’re talking about marijuana ciggerettes

i agree, good things simply aren't possible.

That's too far as well. Ultimately you just need to sew up the if/thens and the system will work.

When it spawns... roll. What is fucking easier than that? If someone decides to be a dick, how is that reflective of the system? How does pre-rolling prevent someone from clickfesting?
