Longer Rounds?

[Ed Venture]

The borg nerf from a while back was also aimed at making rounds last longer.

I think when multiple admins have stated through these forums, in deadchat and in the SA thread that they would like the rounds to last longer, pretending this isn't an attitude held is a bit disingenuous. Most of the responses seem to be aimed at attempting to deny this is even a thing, when there are mountains of evidence to the contrary. The only acknowledgement that it even exists is a post that says, in essence, it isn't worth bothering justifying because people wouldn't accept it. If this is a thing that is going to be enforced, I'd prefer that the administration is straightforward and honest about it.

Ah yes "the borg nerf". That one. That one nerf that everyone absolutely remembers. Yup.

Anyway, sure some of us like longer rounds (around 60 minutes seems to be a good number) but that's kinda it for your "mountains of evidence" as none of the changes that a few of us spitballed to actually lengthen the round were ever done. Rounds kinda just got longer on their own via player attitude changes and so on.

I find the ~conspiracy theory~ tone of this thread in the past few pages to be hilarious.

When the changeling nerf was put in place, I remember an Admin stating in OOC stating the nerf was a beginning of a set of changes to "promote more subterfuge and longer rounds." I can't remember who the admin was, but context was for changes overall, not just the changeling.

W-what nerf though? We can't remember the nerfs you know.

Convair880 even said in this thread that there is a push for it and things are getting nerfed to meet the change and we saw over the past year things getting nerfed I voiced my disapproval over these nerfs now I can't say if any of the nerfs that took place make rounds longer but so far only one coder has said there is indeed a push for longer round, while others have denied,denied, denied and Convair880 has yet to answer any of the questions raised by his statement and no one else will even acknowledge what he said. I'm sure you seen the post I've quoted it quite alot. It's the biggest piece of "evidence" there is. Tin foil hat or not something seems odd here.
