Some changes are in order for 2010 in k-world.

Why? I am so bored of this game it's sickening. I look at the screen and I just don't want to play. It's boring because of the high level of predictability in just about every game.

I can tell you with 90% certainty who will come in 1st, 2nd & 3rd at most 2k & 5k tables. In fact, I did that twice in a row last month at a 2k table.

Every experienced player knows why the games are predictable... the rampant favoritism and pecking order within the realm of the titans of k-dice. Not to mention the cheating threads that never seem to end.

Well, enough bitching and complaining about the reality of this k-world. HOW ABOUT SOME SOLUTIONS!

What I am proposing is not 100% new to some of you. In fact, my proposal of a new game environment is a combination of other people's suggestions and some "going concern" thoughts that have evolved over the past 2 years.

So here goes...

How to change this site to make it fun and challenging again.

#1 - trash the current k-dice 7 player games all together. However, the tourney system should be kept in place with the current 7 player model in place.

# 2 - develop two additional modes of play which include "team" and "incognito".

# 3 - In team play, there would be 3 v 3 teams that you would reserve or sit randomly. "In game" chat would only be limited to you and your team mates. So the other team has no idea what your team is planning.

# 4 - the incognito play would totally replace the current mode of play. It would be simple. This would be a 7 player game. No identity of any player would be known to anyone before or during the game. There would be no open chat. All chat in game would be limited to pre-selected (drop down menu) terms like "I flag 3" or "I'm heading west" or "I want 4th".

At the end of the game, the identity of all players would be revealed to all.

-------------------------------------------

This site has potential. In fact, this site has a lot of potential. However, if the pathetic mode of game play continues without change, I fear that this site will eventualy dwindle out.

In fact, if this site is not changed, my friends and I will likely develop a new site by 2011 to implement the ideas outlined above. Of course, the theme of our game and name will be unique. But at least we will create something that is fun and fresh.

Pretty much all the different game options you want are at conquer club, 1-6 player games, 2/3/4 person team games, optional fog of war, achievements awards, and a big focus on stopping cheating, which is quite successful.

The issue (for some) with the site is that unless you have a membership and play speed games, they're quite slow. Even speed games aren't as fast as a game of kdice, especially if you're playing some of the bigger maps (which incidentally are quite interesting.)

However, the bigger concern that monte hit on is that the social interaction during the game is significantly less. Trucing is rarely required because points only go to the winner. Their forums are every but as active as ours (more so and better run, actually) but not everyone participates in that.

I play both sites at times because I appreciate the different strengths they have.

Hey Vermont, thanks for your reply.

You just saved me a lot of time.

I will be playing conquer club this month and I will see how it "feels" as compared to k-dice.

I sucked in ALL my fantasy leagues this year. Adrian Peterson was worthless yardage wise. Marques Colston was hot and cold. Andre Johnson didn't do shit till AFTER I missed the playoffs. FUCK!

Well, after a few games. Verdict = conquer club sucks. The idea is good but the game play sucks. So back to the drawing board.
