I want to play. 

I dunno, maybe I should try vent again.  Everytime I lurk on vent, it sounds like a few unhappy people bitching and getting passive aggressive digs on each other.

But some of the guys on here prove my point.  I like DG where it's random and unbalanced, so my team is throwing down ideas.  "Orb of defiance on a bait guy?", "What about we chain swap him back so he's afraid of the towers?", "Ok.. ok, you tank out and I'll keep gadgeting u to keep you alive". etc.  THAT's fun

The "What if they get 3 rooks?!" stuff proves my point.  I've never seen that.  It can happen.  But it doesn't normally, and people act like they should never try because it MIGHT.  I don't miss the games of "Ah, we got no general, I'm quitting!" or "They have a 8.8% increase in attack speed, so this is pointless"

I prefer unknowns in my game so it's fun for me.  I hate playing a game like an accountant getting paid to do work. 

But again, I think the difference is level of player.  I'm in the "casual" side.  I have time for 2 games tops, and then I'm still running late to go.  I come back later for a few more games before bed.  Other players take this seriously, but I'm not trying to get into that group and they're not trying to get into mine.

Thanks Pacov.  lol, wish I knew what your smurf name was now.

I'll try to join.  Last 2 times it was 2 guys arguing and I didn't jump in.  Something about summoning bishops in time.

no noobs cow

lol!  You guys will make me paranoid.  "Hi Bob, how are you AREYOUREALLYHEDGIEORPACOV?! today?"

I probably like DG better with ignorant bliss.  Get on vent and I discover how much my teammate really loathes me for not going optimal build.

I like Cind3rs as well. He's a nice guy, and he's pretty good to boot. 

I usually only join your all-random games and it's been a few weeks, if it makes you feel better. 

Soccer-Mom and I played a random game yesterday where we both got Oak. It was incredibly unfair to the opposing team, who had no generals.

Demigod is really a gentlemen's game. It requires effort from both sides to create a fun game. The entire community needs a period of detente to end the Cold War build up where one side chooses UB, the other side chooses UB, one side chooses Oak, the other side chooses Oak, until every game ends up as Oak/UB/Erebus.

We should host "pick shitty demigods or I kick you" games.

I'm so tired of the same 3-6 demigods over and over when we have 10.

I really like high gold and rich settings.  Filthy rich is a bit OTT and often ends up being that annoying race to the artefact flag :/

But yeah, high gold games on Zikurat and Leviathan are REALLY my thing 

Exile is even worse than crucible D:

I hate maps with random crystals in the middle. The map maker was obviously thinking, hey, these will be important places where players duke it out! But they just turn into a chain-locking fest where one side fights with infinite health and mana.

The strategy is to start with a lock and amulet of teleportation as rook, and constantly teleport between the two crystals keeping them in your posession with tower farms as long as possible so that you level up much faster and always win fights. It's kind of stupid if you ask me. At least on mandala the crystals are so far from the general action you can't just refuel in the middle of a battle.

A lot could be solved by not using all random, but instead doing one random general and two random assassins. It's much more fun. Sure, it could work out so that you have oak and two beasts vs. queen/da/reg, but hey, it wouldn't be random if you didn't.

I would like a random mirror match mod that randomizes the characters but makes both teams have the same setup so it's completely fair and fun.
