Don't Let Random Roundtypes Keep Repeating

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

 

When we repeatedly vote for secret we typically get a brash of repeated roundtypes. It's getting really lame. We should have a check that doesn't let roundtype repeat one after another.

Currently we can have days like,

Ling. Ling. Ling. Ling. Ling. Ling. Rev. With 4 hour rounds that's more than 8 hours of changeling. It's silly!!!

In this new system we'd get in the worst case a day like,

Ling. Vampire. Ling. Vampire. Ling. Rev. Ling.

Sounds good, having paranoia twenty times in a row really rustles my jimmies, and just isn't fun. You play Mixed Secret for variety, not the same shit every round.

I agree, repeated round-types stink. Props to using a comic to illustrate your point.

[Saudus]

We just had two extended in a row rolled as mixed secret, is a bit of a... dud... it feels like. The shifts were bQv-cS9v and the one before. +1 on making the random roll prevent similar rolls.

We generally need more diverse roundtypes (#bringbackmemes?) but yeah I'm all for this cause Dilbert ftw and all praise Senpai! If it's just checking the last roundtype then if rolled again then roll again until not, might be easily implemented and could still end up ling, vamp, ling, vamp, ling, rev, ling, vamp. +1

Or just do what I suggested and roll all of the game types into a single secret rotation so we don't have to worry about this.

This rarely ever happens when the server votes for the regular secret rotation.

maybe we want some spice in our life, delta. This isn't asking to lump or change or alter the game modes, just preventing them from repeating.

The only criticism I have with this is that it's really easy to meta it. "Oh, we just had crossfire so we won't have to worry about mercs or raiders." Other than that, it sounds good.

yeah but. It still doesn't stop, Siege Merc + Rev. so you could still get Mercs. anyways.

This would be abused no more than "Oh, the possible round type list everyone is shown on roundstart doesn't say crossfire so we won't have to worry about mercs or raiders," is, though.

Yeah sure might help a bit, people are still going to be upset over not getting the gamemode they wanted but that can't be solved really.

Or maybe people could vote the fucking round they want instead of picking secret like the centrists fucks they are.

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

exactly. If there is a burning passion within the players to repeat a changeling round because it was so amazing and they want to double dip, they can vote for the round mode. Secret repeats are a pain in the butt.

[Scheveningen]

yeah it sounds like an o-k idea

[Skull132]

food for thought.

[Saudus]

food for thought.

 

That seems quite good, although you could be more heavy handed than that to be honest.

[Fire and Glory]

food for thought.

I would prefer something like this.

[Munks]

Please let us stop having back to back to back Wizard rounds

[Fortport]

If this flies, random rounds would be more varied and a lot could happen in a day of SS13.

+1

That still provides the possibility for back-to-back rounds of a similar type, which we have collectively agreed can get REALLY annoying. I PREFER a hard stop but I think a soft buffer would work well too.
