Rant on Rating Posts

Jul 2, 2008 by MakeMeBelieve242
I've been in a few games now where people point out that people are subtracting or adding points onto posts that people make, and acting like it's a bad thing if their comments end up being in the negatives for no reason. I always thought this was apart of the game, and I'm beginning to get pissed off when people think that someone is wrong for doing it. Isn't the point of this to make allies and alliances, and trying to get people out who are going to beat you? Shouldn't I make people who I don't want to win have negatives in their posts? Why am I being yelled at for it? If you have a problem with it, maybe negate my comments? lmao. I find it completely retarded when people think it's such a bad thing when people are negating people very obviously, but if it's hidden--it's okay.

Well, everyone has their own reasons for playing.  Some play to meet new people and get to know them, all while playing a fun game.  So, they take it personally when someone negates it.  I think they should have every right to be upset, just as every right for you to negate them.  Of course they would rather play with people like them who vote on activity and contribution, and likewise with you, wanting to take out your competition.

Everything has more than one side.  I know people who don't put negatives on anyone really.  But it's just how you want to use this website.  Something that we all have to get used to I guess :-/

Yea, which I understand..and I like to meet new people as well, along with playing the game. Some of my favorite people I end up targetting to get 6th/7th in order to have a better shot for a higher placing in the final day. Sometimes it's not that I don't like someone as the reason you try to take them out...but that you aren't alligned with them, and they have a huge chance at beating you. Whatever I guess, different people play differently. LOL

Yeah, I completely understand what you're saying.  I've seen several people play these things differently.  For me, I just have fun with it and don't take it too seriously.  And even if you're eliminated, it's not the end of the world anyway.  Best of luck in your games.
