I remember the games that get the most people playing and playing actually active are prize games...because there is a reason to play, and to play your best.

I'm more in it for the thrill of the hunt and the kill. I like the competition. I don't care too much if I lose if it was a great match (not that I don't like winning ).

We need to get Kraken613 to offer up some of his Wii Points as a prize.

The problem with prize games is it influences how you play the game.  If you want to win the prize you're going to play to get the most individual glory, which isn't always what's best for the team as a whole.

In addition, certain roles--namely those that perform night actions--are most likely to be voted MVP.  If you're a regular townie you have a very slim chance of winning the prize.  Since it's normal townies that have the highest chance of neglecting the game the prize isn't going to solve this problem.

Didn't Maxi win the prize one game when he wasn't a special role? The Mario Paintball one I think. Though was everyone in that game technically a special role? My memory of that is a little vague.

Everybody had a role. I was Bowser I was a General in the Mario Painball game. But in that game the flags were important. If I had been a flag at the start and survived I think that would have made it extra special.


Vudu my first game was a prize game. I was a townie. I played everyday. There goes your theory.

I said most likely.  I didn't say it was impossible.  There goes your dignity.

You didn't win though.

[BeautifulShy]

Technicalities.

Even if I got Decoyman on Day 9 I would have been killed anyway. So It was a no win from the start of Day 9 for me.

[Dasmos]

It was a no win for you, but a win for me.

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah Yeah Yeah.

Anyways I really am upset at most of the townies this game. You just let the Mafia lead you around.
