What happened round 1 can only really happen so many times. It's a risk to have the four of us in the finals because you don't know what we got. If we get a lucky steal and got a high brick this round, it could end the game. Even if a couple of other rounds happen where other people get to the end and do the same thing we did, then that only extends the game 1-2 cycles. It's not going to be too big of a problem going forward.

JakeP posted:I mean at this point this isnt the game that I signed up to play, and this house rule makes the game more frustrating than fun that's totally fair and i probably shouldn't have made the call mid-game. i was planning to run several of these if possible so I was curious about how that variant would affect the game and if it would be a worthwhile change. it's good to know that you don't think it works, i'm inclined to agree. anyone who wants to drop out is welcome to, i'm not going to force anyone to play.

The fact of the matter is you 4 should have been forced to conspire against each other last round and incite distrust in each other, and being allowed to team up and split the bricks takes this aspect away and makes it far easier for you all to work together this round, and future rounds.

Except that JJ could have totally betrayed them, so there's still that element

Yeah I kind of agree with jake, and that isn't just because I, the person most deserving, didn't get a brick. I don't think there is any point in retconning things at this point and it didn't "break" the game or anything, just shifts it to something different than was originally intended.

It definitely dampens the excitement of the final two part though.

yeah brick trading totally defeats the purpose of the whole game and now we're just playing a slightly different version of survivor.

I can promise you, as the most honorable man on Something Awful, that I will not trade any bricks with anyone.

As someone who directly benefited from the trade rule, I don't like it either. It is a different game and I would not be against removing it going forward, rolling back to our top 4 with no bricks, or starting over completely. It made the game 10x easier for this round, which is against the intended nature of the game.

It's also worth noting that brick trading introduces an element of "well I don't want that rear end in a top hat to win!" so some people pile all their bricks onto someone else for an immediate win, which is playing against your own interests and also against the intended game.

I won't be opposed if the rule gets changed moved forward, but I think that a retroactive change is too much at this point. The wave form has collapsed, we cannot recreate those pre-existing conditions due to our knowledge of how things proceeded. I also would be alright with the rule remaining intact, but if I'm in the minority, that's fine by me.

Who is to say how it would have collapsed differently without the rule?

So, anyone know how to play this game? The rules kinda confuse me. Can you clarify literally every single rule, Somber? No less than four paragraphs per line of rules, preferably.

 I don't understand what the issue was? If you don't like how a minority of people are approaching the game, you get to vote them out.
