Title: Change the FusionCash Tag Game-An idea for the suggestion box
Post by: sherryinutah on July 05, 2012, 03:45:10 pm
The FusionCash tag game seems like a high maintenance project for Kohler so I'm suggesting a change.

Let the players take turns driving the bus.

If Falcon9 tags someone and that person does NOT respond within 2-3 hours...

Falcon9 would go back and eliminate that person and tag someone else.

It wouldn't always be Falcon9s' responsibility.  It would be the responsibility of the person who was previously tagged.

Kohler could still monitor the game and "clean up" the thread but he wouldn't have to babysit the thread as often.

Just a thought....

That sounds alright, (but may have sounded better to others had you used someone else as an example *heh*).  There's one small addition I'd propose to your suggestion; if the last-tagged person correctly 'tags-out' the person they tagged, they get an extra $0.01 for each instance at the end of the game, (since it takes some of that monitoring onus off of Kohler)?

How would we maintain the list? 
What if someone is tagged and then 10 people come in who aren't in the game and post things to clog it up - causing the person who is tagged to overlook it and be out because of it?
What if the person who last tagged someone doesn't come back to tag another person for a couple of days?

The next one I want to try is similar but instead I would post and then you would have X amount of time to post whatever I posted back. Then if you didn't by X hour you and whoever else did not post would be removed.

I would love it if Kohler be only one post then when no respond we can move on. Very Good Idea but have time exit and for it to begin cause its exhausting staying up or waiting on your tag when it may never happen..after awhile things like that cause health problems and plus no fare to ones in other time zones.  :thumbsup:

10 pm for you is also much later for others like me in the central time zone and have to be up earlier.

My suggestion is maybe not so many players next time.I think there's only a dozen or so serious players.The first three days were mostly spent getting rid of people who probably had little intention of playing the game out to the end.

How would you determine "serious" players?

I would probably consider the serious players the ones who generally reply within a half hour of being tagged.I know there's no way to know the intentions of the players,but I think many signed up thinking "why not?" but just gave up on it early on.

Well, if it was only a chosen 10 people who will respond every time, it will never end.  The point is to get people out, not only to have those who can/ will constantly respond, right?

I think that's where we are in the game right now.I guess,if I'm saying anything it's that in my personal opinion the game would be more fun played fast with a few dedicated people over two days,than played with a lot of people- some more interested than others- over a week.

The next one I want to try is similar but instead I would post and then you would have X amount of time to post whatever I posted back. Then if you didn't by X hour you and whoever else did not post would be removed.

These are good questions.  Obviously you, Kohler, would draw a line through names on the list, just as you're doing now.  You could also clean up the thread to keep it from becoming cluttered and confusing.  Hopefully, that would be the extent of it for you.

Player A has the responsibility to tag the next person (player b).  If player b doesn't respond within 2-3 hours player A would call them "out" and tag someone else.  If player A "drops the ball" Kohler could call them out.  Each player would have more responsibility than they currently have and if they're unable to handle that responsibility they risk being called "out".

If player b is called "out" by player A...Player A would then tag player C.  

The bottom line is that player A is stuck with the tag until they tag someone who responds.

I hope this makes sense.  The object of this suggestion is to simplify things for Kohler.

Each player also has the responsibility of following the thread so they don't tag someone who is already out.

These are good ideas, (except for the time limit being 2-3 hours, maybe it should be reduced to 1 hour or kept at 2*), since they preserve the concept of being "it" when tagged.

* - Another idea related to tag time limitations might be to reduce required tag-time by 15 minutes per day, (2nd day: 1 hr. 45 minutes to respond, 3rd day: 1 1/2 hr.s to respond and so on ... until day #8, when respondants are down to 15 minutes to respond). This puts some progressively-increasing urgency on the tags ...

I think I would consider myself "serious" for Fusion Cash, and therefore in the posting, but even I got tagged out for not responding.
