Cuz we like how things are easy and casual. It's how we've survived for ten years.

Agreed, it's what make AFW so great.

Pretty much, yar.

strict rules and regulations for all sections imply, if not cause, restrictions and limitations, which makes things less fun.

So adding even a single rule completed changes the casual atmosphere, makes the site less fun, and jeopardizes its longevity?

I didn't say that. Sorry if that's the impression you're getting. Transparency is something that's conducive to a a good community. By having no rules in place, you're advocating for the community to regulate itself. And like I said before, common sense doesn't regulate communities. It's not a good enough basis for not having written laws in real life and it's not a good enough basis to run a forum. Other forums that the masses are invested in have rules for all their sections and intended functions. Facebook, reddit, twitter, etc. Why should this forum be any different?

Because this forum already kind of blatantly tells you this in rule of thumb 'Communication is key' and this is true in more then just a simple match. This forum has the rules it needs to be efficient it doesn't need to be more strict on that or tell people that more clearly.

Yep. And up yours for even suggesting change. Despite Kels straight off the bat suggesting a thread where such communication happens.

Part of it is that the AFW is a bit of a unique beast. Comparing it to other forums and RPGs is iffy, because we're really nothing like any other RPG, at least none that I've seen. There's no central story, everything is made up by the players, no GM controlling everything, no real oversight from match to match. Not that there's anything wrong with those things - for most RPGs, they're essential. But AFW isn't most RPGs.

In your opinion.

The majority of people partaking in the poll seem to agree that there are flaws. And I'm sure almost each and every one of them would agree that the flaws extend to relying on communication as the sole source of regulation. It doesn't work. Not for everyone. I think that much, at least, has been proven.

So you're saying because of the traits unique to AFW, it requires no rules on this matter? If so, that's fine. I just feel like I haven't heard your particular opinion on this matter.

That it scorn live up to that namesake. No ones insulting winner for insisting change but really it seems the major flaw is no one takes communication seriously despite the rules saying its key. Kels sugueted a thread not a change to the rules because quite frankly we dont need it. I voted in the middle ground but I wish I could change it to its fine because it is, we need to talk more.

by **Old_Man_Tai** Fri Feb 10, 2017 5:58 pm

also just pointing out that the poll is literally two middle votes away from a 3 way tie right now, so no, the majority is not saying its all bad.
