User talk:Jonnay23/TotemQuest

The big problem I see here is that the whole thing is built atop the unenforceable Nomad Experience rules, with yet more unenforceable rules added. In contrast, Spleef objectives operate through game mechanics, and rules about allowable weapons can be enforced by the assembled spectators ("Hey, he used TNT! That's not allowed!"). With everyone a nomad, you'd need a special mod just to apply the game rules, and I wouldn't want to be the guy debugging that mod. --Mental Mouse 13:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Why would the rules need to be enforced? If a bunch of six years olds out in the neighborhood make up a game, can they not play the game without having someone referee to make sure no one cheats?? That's the point of TotemQuest. It's just an idea for people to run with. Minecraft has no goals in it -- no game. (To be accurate, they have added achievements, but that's not much of a goal/game.) If you want such goals, you can either make up a game and follow the rules of the game yourself, or make a mod that forces people to follow the rules. There's no reason to think the latter is required, though, having a mod to enforce rules is nice to have. It's just for fun. There's no national competition or prize to win. If someone wants to cheat, so what? People can play Minecraft how they want to. They can change the rules to TotemQuest if they like. It's just an idea of a game for people to play. There should be an entire page on this wiki with ideas of made up game rules like this game -- TotemQuest. Minecraft would be way more interesting to a lot of people if they had fun goals to go for in the game. I know I'd still be playing the game regularly if I had some interesting game rules like that, [or if I could make mods that I didn't have to update every time they put out a patch and if I didn't have to deal with their code obfuscation (modding API???)]. I advocated for a section on this wiki containing game rulesets like that of TotemQuest, but this isn't a community-ran site. If your idea doesn't appeal to the couple of people that reign over this wiki [with an iron fist], it won't be allowed. Pulseczar 17:29, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
