Our community is playing King Arthur's Gold this week!

I think everyone here needs to back up a bit. Since KAG is in alpha and rapidly growing, I don't think anyone in the community should be turning down opportunities to pick up new players - whether they're from Australia because they saw it mentioned on ABC3 last week, or redditors who have picked it up from /r/playdate, /r/gaming, /r/kag (yes it exists) or any of a number of other relevant subreddits.

This game is growing rapidly, and there will be influxes of new, untalented players. It's the nature of a new game, especially a unique game like KAG which attracts many different types of gamers (casual gamers who like the strategy aspects, hardcore/regular gamers who like the gameplay, and everything in-between like myself). It's the nature of the situation, and everyone should not only recognize and tolerate this, but learn to embrace it because diversity within a community adds a lot more value to the people and game as a whole.

Thanks for stopping by to share with us about /r/playdate's plan to play KAG - I hope it is enjoyed by all; welcome to those of you who are here to join our community.

To those of you who think that we're going to see a huge influx of players that are going to take over the game's culture - I call bullshit. First off /r/playdate is small, and second of all the game's established culture has a momentum that will not be easily broken. You're not going to suddenly see MM/Geti and the forums overrun with stupid suggestions - only people looking for tips/tricks/help because they want to enjoy the game as much as possible. Everyone just needs to relax, and potentially get off their high no-outsiders-allowed religious horse.

Despite growing rapidly, KAG is still an infant in the gaming landscape. We should appreciate any and all exposure that the game gets -- to any audience.

 

Curious, how did the focus time go? I wasn't able to make it. :S

 

That kind of thinking can you get in big trouble.

 

Well, I meant in general in life, ignoring problems don't make them go away they just eventually get you into such a deep hole that you CANNOT ignore and sometimes cannot at this point be fixed alone.

In KAG letting griefers continue to grief means that you are just pushing it off on someone else, the griefers stick around longer as they can get away with it and in general you just breed a bad habitat that is okay with this sort of thing.
For him who was probably never going to stick around but just came here so that he could get some hits on his blog and have like 5 people play a game and grief each other it doesn't matter and at the end of the day it doesn't effect him, but those griefers might realize how easy the game is and at the end of the day for the rest of us there is a chance of introducing more griefers which is just annoying.
