my view of KDice and where the GAME is moving to

Where is KDice moving to?

A little history from my point of view.
Very-very long ago
once upon a time there was
Ryan
who decided to build THE GAME.
And that Ryan decided to name this GAME
to be KDice.
That Ryan
issued a call to his FRIENDS:
"Hey my MIGHTY FRIENDS,
lets we build the GAME"
And so they began to work.
Sooner or later the job was done
and THE GAME was build.
And Ryan gave the GAME
the name KDice as he decided.
Inasmuch as noone knew
what kind of game should be KDice
- the GAME so happened
to be shaped quite the cheese.
Excellent game with very strong social constituent.
Kdice arrived to be EXCELLENT SIMULATOR OF OUR REAL LIFE.
We have friends in life
- We have friends in KDice.
We have people who can be trusted in life
- We have people who can be trusted in KDice.
We have people who recompense good with good in life
- We have such people in KDice.
Love and hatred.
Honest policy and dirty policy.
Truth and lie.
Smarts and idiots.
Alliances and anti-alliances.
I cannot list that as whole. Its impossible.
Kdice had that all what we have in real life.
And by the highest standards
we have nothing in real life
what we hadn't in KDice.
We HAD that all in the GAME.
HAD.
Why "HAD" ?
Because HAD.
That all belongs to the times
when game began.
Then there came a time when
Ryan began to improve the GAME.
Certainly to improve the GAME
- is very good job.
But when SOCIAL GAME lose
its social constituents - this is very very bad.
KDice lately lost a lot of social constituent.

Now many players ask:
where are girls here in kdice?
Why did our best players-girls
quit playing last time?
I can answer you:
Women are not so interested in technical constituend of KDice
as they are interested in KDice's social constituent.
Women are not so interested in achievements as men are.
Women are not so interested in "kill all and become 1st"
as they are interested in relarions in process of game.
They are more interested in emotions, sences, feelings
than we men are.

The fact that girls leave our game is just first bell ring.
The GAME lose is losing its social constituent.

What do do?
I dint know exactly.

But its obvious for me:
that GAME MUST NOT DECIDE
instead of me
to whom can I trust and to whom cant I trust.
and when must I flag.
The game MUST NOT decide instead of me
can I wait and then hit or cannot.
Why does it auto-flag me
if i want to hide a little and then kill my enemy
and help my friend?
There are a lot of reasons
why the system MUST NOT DECIDE instead of me.
Some of last technical improvemets
unfortunately were directed to "technical"
solution of "social" problems.
Thats why Kdice is losing very much its social constituent.

what I liked in the old versions was, that they were not perfect.....

Now we are playing an improved version. But i think it has been improved to something unlogical, less strategic thing. First round decides nearly anything.

And as you are playing with too many people at too many tables - and it is to much luck and less strategy to reach the better tables i have to agree with Mike, the social contacts are getting lost a little bit.

At the end of the day we all are playing here, because we are not playing gainst a dumb computer, but a dumb (more or less) human... the human factor makes it more interesing.... and if you know some of them (love or hate them but know them) it is much more fun than if you play again and again against numbers....

I am little bit frustrated....

A little additions to my post:

1. I'm not gay. BTW word "gay" is not offensive to me, but I'm not gay. Honestly :)
2. I didn't write that game is bad. And I love to play it.
3. I didn't write that game became bad. Game is still interesting and the game became technically more equipped from the times of its start.
4. I didn't write that i love old ELO system for calculating players rank. New system of ranking is nice enough. I'm not sure its better but its nice.

All I want to say:
1. The game has very strong social elements from the very beginning. And this social part of the game is its best advantage.
2. Ryan should think about maintaining and developing this social side, social direction of the game.

To Unique:

Dear Unique,
How can You dont care about sex of person near You? In life or in game?
Im sure if You dont care about sex
there could be 2 (TWO) reasons only for that:
1. You are too young for that
2. You are too old for that

:)

P.S. Ough sorry i didn't think much enough.
Our life is very rich on wonderful things.
There are people called bisexuals.
But I'd prefer to not touch this theme.
