#Casual Mode Changes

This is a proposed change to the current way game modes are handled weekly + voted on.

Current System

  • 10 modes available in rotation
  • Vote between 4 randomly provided modes
  • Every week, the bottom 2 modes are removed (1/5 modes)
  • 1 new list will be added
  • 1 old list will return

Updated System

  • 12 modes available in rotation
  • Vote between 4-5 randomly provided modes
  • Every week, the bottom 4 modes are removed (1/3 modes)
  • 1 new list will be added
  • 3 old lists will return

The new system is designed to make every week feel different, by bringing in and taking out a larger chunk of modes. This does mean it is more likely for your favourite modes to be removed, but these modes are also more likely to return in a much shorter period of time.

Want some opinions on this, it's pretty much just me adjusted some values of things and employing automation

distant ember
#

it does mean that there will be less variety

#

PTT will show up more etc

languid relic
#

How so?

#

There are more modes at once, 4 previously unavailable modes are brought in every week

#

instead of just 2

distant ember
#

people will vote for X every time
X shows up more
X is never rotated out

languid relic
#

Currently the top 80% of modes are safe every week, now its the top 66%

#

modes are more likely to be rotated out due to this line being lowered

#

There is strictly more variety than before

distant ember
#

my theory is that since PTT shows up more we will be playing it more

languid relic
#

What are you talking about

distant ember
#

4-5 choices?

languid relic
#

Correct, it will randomly give you 4-5 choices

#

A mode's popularity is based on what % of each lobby vote for it, not it's total appearences

What is your point exactly

I think I understand the point, but yeah it changes nothing, it mmay increase it's percent choice but it won't change that it has the highest percent choice anyway and was therefore never leaving

languid relic
#

Before you got to vote for 40% of total modes, now you get to vote for 33%-42% of total modes

#

So on average, you are voting for it less than before lol

#

Worth trying yea

languid relic
#

Regarding old modes coming back, I'm going to automate that

#

pretty simple odds system

keen mica
#

more variety sounds nice

languid relic
#

For each day a mode hasn't been in rotation (we don't track this rn so every mode will be at the same), it's given +1 lot to return. Then 3 modes will be randomly pulled out of this, with modes that have been gone for longer having higher lots to return

#

keeps it random still, but also fair to modes that haven't been in for as long

mighty karma
#

Would this mean no wildcard since we have old lists coming back?

languid relic
#

old lists already come back

#

wildcard is being added still

mighty karma
#

Yeah but there's more old lists

#

Just wondering

languid relic
#

Wildcard + April are both treated like normal lists in voting, if they fall below the top 66% they will be thrown out

keen mica
#

wait seriously?

mighty karma
#

😃

keen mica
#

wildcards a list?

spare epoch
#

Yes

keen mica
#

as in like itll get thrown out like a normal list

spare epoch
#

Yes that’s what Curtis said

keen mica
#

yeah i know im just surprised

#

i thought it was just a throw dice option. basically a constant

languid relic
#

nah, its a special list

#

I've added some new tech in that lets me send gamemode descriptions instead of actual rolelists, this opens up new special lists in the future

#

I'm excited for Wildcard, it has the charm of April throwing you into something unknown, but instead they are actual human-designed gamemodes being played instead of just RNG

keen mica
#

yeah wildcard is nicer

#

april is just the big funni that gets old

10 upvotes already

#

#

question, is there a compliance based jackal list yet?

#

(also imagine compliance TT lol)

languid relic
surreal thunder
#

This is just how things are

languid relic
#

naturally

surreal thunder
#

Lots of people trust the devs more than they trust random other suggestors

languid relic
#

I couldn't really care less about likes on a post

#

Nunny's jester rework has a ton of likes and I dislike the idea lul

#

forgot to comment on that one woops will do now

keen mica
#

what jester rework

visual moth

#

I've made the point before that I really don't see the point in me making an alt to post my own ideas

#

when people wanna give actual feedback on stuff I do, they give it

#

I've had many suggestions shot down in the past

#

I just don't really post things now unless I'm really sure about it, which is why all my recent suggestions do as well as they do

visual moth
#

yeah, there is no point honestly, I really think the only thing it affects is how many people pay attention to it, I for example look at all dev suggestions, but may avoid others if they don't seem as impactful/interesting
