The next Waifu game

All these new rule ideas are fucking dumb. I think I'm gonna run just to try and stop someone fucking with the game.

I can dig this. It throws wrenches into people's plans and doesn't really alter the game in any huge way like NTR rules or dueling or shit like that. Even if a lot of the waifus I choose are on a whim and from not-so popular series, this kind of rule could still affect a lot of people, especially if anime from the season that's currently airing were put on the list because people always like to make claims from new anime.

The popularity list should be based on what? Anime? Manga? From where? MyAnimeList?
I think there will be many problems to solve.



Basically this. I think the original rule that Waar made was awesome already.

No reclaim? Okay.
Extra waifu (6th waifu) by using some kinda rule? Good.

The extra waifu rule can be changed so it's not for old user. But the rule that said 'all girls in one anime must be claimed first, and thus one can get extra waifu' is bad. Some people claims not because they love their waifu but to get that extra slot. Horrible.

I've even seen someone said "I'm just going to claim this one so my other friend who claim another woman in this anime can get the 6th slot". Sigh...

I disagree completely. Just take series from all sectors of popular media (video games, anime, manga) and select the ones with the popular waifu claims over the years or will definitely have claims (ex. Oreimo, Kill la Kill, Final Fantasy). There are obvious trends.



I think you take this too seriously.

I am not "people", I am the moderator who has control over the game as it's creator. What people want is rarely in the best interest of the game, having re-sets was overwhelmingly unpopular at first but now it's become a norm for most new games and I believe it's because people see them as a requirement to bring out some joy in the game, had I just kept the waifu list from the first game it would have died long ago. So while I do hear people out, post that can often be summed up as "I don't like that idea" without offering reasoning have no effect on what actually gets implemented. If you post your ideas if/when you apply for host again, some may not be popular among the users but it doesn't mean I wont pick you.

In a way what I'm telling you to do is appeal to my sense of what will make this game survive the next generation of Fakku, it is in essence a part of my legacy here.



Really? Popular series from the last waifu game? Popular series from the previous round? Any source, anime, manga, video games. It can change from round to round, and it's really not hard to pinpoint which series are the more popular ones. Your point is fairly dumb.

There are literally no problems with my suggestion as it stands but it simply need something to make it more interesting/fun/dangerous.

You could make it a lotto, take all the series from the previous game, assign them all a number, and use a random number generator to pick a bunch that will be banned for a particular round. Or have round specific genres or media for weeks like, round one: no claims from "romance" series, or round two: no video game character claims. The idea has to be simple enough so that you don't have to explain it a million times but complex enough to add a degree of difficulty to the game.

Keep coming up with ideas but remember if you're interested in running the game to keep you best ideas for the application. Don't want someone taking the good ones and beating you out because he did it slightly better than you did.

Urm. I didn't mean I disagree with the 'popularity rule'.

I'm just thinking what can we do to make it fair when choosing the series. I don't want anyone saying 'you cheater choose series that don't have your waifu in it' or something similiar.

Creating a poll containing the series and then choose 5 top series would be good. But I'm also afraid that people will lie and vote on least popular series on purpose instead so they can grab the waifus.

So, like I said, maybe there's a site that list anime/manga from the most popular into the least popular and we can use that as a base. Choose 100 top anime and then use the random number like you said, Waar.



Waifu is serious business brah.

It's just based off of experience in the game, but I have a good inclination what the "popular" list should include.

For example: Touhou, Fate series, Monogatari series, Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai (if this is still popular), Highschool DxD, To Aru Majutsu no Index, a couple others, and any new anime during the season the game starts in.

I'm more inclined to think it's up to whoever the fuck is going to host to decide if he wants the rule, how to implement it. If whoever it is says he wants to pick series a b and c as popular series it's not really something you have a say in.

So I really don't see the problem you keep bringing up, it's the hosts call on what happens, which series would get locked out for a round and who gets fucked.

If you think about the idea, it punishes everyone equally, it just ensure people will show up every week in case the series they want gets banned. Keeping that in mind the host should announce the locked series like 10 minutes before the start of each round...

Im actually fine with this rule because it doesnt restrict you from ever getting your desired waifu, just makes you wait a bit instead.

I have an itch to throw my hat into the ring to host the next waifu game, but I am not that good of a coordinator or writer. I wouldn't know what to write for a front page post for the game... I could list experience with moderating the Adopt-a-loli game, but that's small stuff compared with the Waifu game.

Now that would be interesting. I thought the host will announce it a few days / weeks before. Now if it's 10 minutes before the start of each round, it would be very interesting...

An easy way to tell is the completed sets from this past game.




Heh.

If I can make that as an experience then I'm the one who made the game :v



Very nice. I support this. Not even the players can say anything against this one because it's their own fault.

Yep, I know, which would make you more qualified than me. :3

How about we apply some sort of currency system?

• Each player gets xxx amount of credits to spend. To give others a fair chance, new members and old members of the forum gets the same amount of creds, regardless of post count or number of years of being a fakkuza.

• Each character costs some credits for them to be claimed.

• The character prices are dependent on the following factors: on-screen popularity (based on MAL, or gelbooru pics count) and previous fakku waifu games popularity (pikachu guy, if you need help on this regarding the statistics and your database and stuff, I can help you.)

So, if Kousaka Kirino is claimed 3 times separately on 3 separate waifu game seasons, and she gets 2841 pictures on gelbooru, then
(3 * waifu game factor) + (2841 / gelbooru hits factor) + (Base price for waifus) = Net waifu price.

• In an event of a divorce, the user can auction the character starting at 20% from base price, and the auction will last 48 hours from the moment of the divorce claim. If the auction failed, however, the character will still be claimable, but will return to its original price.

So, if a player bought Satsooki for 200 bucks, and then decided to divorce him, the player can auction her upon divorce starting 20 bucks.
If a player bids at her for 21 bucks and the 48-hour-auction-period is over, the Divorcer gets 21 bucks and the bidder gets satsooki (that bitch).
If no one bids for satsuki (poor thing) within the 48-hour-auction-period ended, the divorcer loses satsuki, gains back a waifu slot, gains no bucks back, and satsuki is again available for claiming for 200 bucks.


TL;DR

Capitalism and Prostitution in a nutshell.

No.
Edit: If these idiots can't handle writing "Livin' la vida loca", what makes you think they'll be able to handle that

Simplify people, if the host has to explain it multiples times it's already too complex for the game.

I like this (mainly because all of my waifus would be cheap due to their popularity), but like 623 said, if people can't even read a rule, how would they go along with this?

Too complicated. And we should change the name into "Prostitute Game" instead of "Waifu Game".

I miss the days when waifu game is actually considered as 'srs business' and people actually wake up and refresh the waifu page to get their waifu...

There are so many characters now that a lot of times people don't have to worry about their waifu being taken. Or, they just have obscure ones(see Foreground's comment). The only way to combat the character growth is to have more people participate which is what this planning is for.
