Prisoner Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 thank you for the review @Rence As for the sense of smell thing, I kind of wanted to let the narrator really 'dive' into the moment and invoke some other sense besides seeing or touching. It's also supposed to be the narrator taking in everything in a rush knowing fully he's gonna wake up soon and embracing everything he can at the last moment. But now I can see how that could come off as bizarre since it's just six lines with a lot going on, so thank you for pointing that out
Prisoner Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 6 hours ago, Rence said: I might sound harsher than usual in some of the reviews but I can assure you that I still enjoyed all entries and thought they are good. This might be my favorite round so far, with the previous round being the weakest for me Harsh is good too, we need all kinds of feedback
Kelp Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Thank you Rence and funny legs! Rence I have never heard of that Let Us Have Kiki song? But I'm guessing it's something the gays enjoy. Good for them.

You are perfectly free to disagree with me without making some kind of attack against me. Clearly, it’s better for the sake of the game if more people do disagree. But unfortunately that is the way that I have felt during this season, particularly off the back of last season which not everybody will have the same experience with or may not understand, and I can tell you that I am not alone from what other players have said to me. I really don’t feel that I came side ways at anybody personally and spoke up solely about the game, so I don’t know why you felt the need to do the opposite. I also don’t know why however way I wish to take part in the game has anything to do with you - or anybody for that matter - nor do I feel that I need to explain submitting anonymously, either. If you assume it is about being above the game and everybody else, I’m sorry but you are mistaken. If you don’t understand it, or have some sort of issue with it, you could always have asked me since you say it is obvious it was me, rather than making things petty. I also honestly don’t know what this point about negative posts is because I’ve really posted very little in this thread due to the overall lack of activity and engagement. You’re very right though to say that I put a lot of effort into submitting, so thanks for that, but that is what honestly makes it quite disappointing when the game doesn’t live up to its potential. I suppose the last point against me to reply to is that if you truly think that I feel this game is pointless, then I’m sorry but you’ve mistaken my post. I don’t know why somebody would have competed, let alone judged, let alone hosted multiple seasons if they truly felt any of this was pointless. The context behind that was that at 2 months into the game with round 4 still ongoing, the amount of time invested vs the amount of progress in the game makes things, I imagine inarguably, stagnant at times; that unfortunately somewhat makes it feel “effectively pointless”, as I said. And obviously this isn’t something new as people have voiced issue with that since very early into the season. In the end, I love this tradition and would love to say that I have enjoyed this season, but I just haven’t. And that’s perfectly okay both to feel and to voice opinion over. Probably a long post, but I personally don’t have any issue with making discussion because I have no wrong intent. If it came across that way, then I hope some understanding can be made because I don’t have issue with anybody here, but do question the way things are running. Not this long ass paragraph for a game you're not interested in, please. The complete hypocrisy of saying you don't owe any explanations about your involvement in the game, yet actively demanding answers and whining about the modality of it is... something. You also have to be completely daft to complain about how "stagnant" the game is, when in most cases this season, the people who don't submit are those who lack the time to do so. This game takes creativity, effort and time, and demanding it be more fast-paced, when it only benefits you and maybe 2-3 other players, is EXTREMELY selfish and egoistical. If you don't like the slow-paced modality of the game just quit, but don't proceed to say the game is "embodying indifference" and "effectively pointless" just because your self-absorbed ass doesn't like the way it's going. Both judges and contestants have put time and effort into this game, and your comments just come off as an insult to that dedication. You're more than welcome to host your own version of this game with your own rules and pace, but I can assure you it will still lose players, most likely much quicker than this one has. And finally, I'm gonna ask you once, nicely, to please stop disrupting this thread on your own will. If you don't, I will proceed to report you to the mods and request you get threadbanned. Thanks
