longer angry golbin time

[Tunawiggle]

Angry goblin roll time needs to change from 10 seconds to 20-30 seconds. Sitting at a camps for 5-7 hours at a time to be told your late and your roll doesn't count after being there for multiple hours is dumb AF. Especially when you get congratulated by other players that know who the real winner should be.

Sorry you don't got cords, consider being active.

as you can see a troll that supports the 10 second rule. obviously has no wife or children that he/she needs to talk to and might be a few seconds late on a 10 seconds roll.

I feel like Tuna has a fair question.

Why is the timer for Angry 10 seconds instead of 20-30 like Scout, Ring 8, or Ring 10?

I'm genuinely curious - not being argumentative.

The short answer, as with any of the player agreements, is that it's what all the players would agree to.

For the longer answer ... you have to keep in mind that when Shady and Angry were first added to P99, they were a clickfest. To get the current player agreements in place, several players (myself included) had to lobby everyone who showed up for the click fest (before the goblin spawned) and convince them to agree to a roll.

It was not easy: for days we had most people wanting to roll, but a few holdouts who refused (and as long as anyone refused, we had no agreement). To get those last holdouts to agree, we gave them "concessions" ... and IIRC the short time was one such concession (although it's been years now so I don't remember for certain).

But, all that's needed to change it is ... for everyone at the camp to agree to do so (for a few days in a row).

obviously, the players do not all agree.

Obviously. But they didn't all agree on the idea of a roll at first either. Similarly to now, there were lots of people that were like "a roll is the obvious better way to do this", and then there were a few "roll = wellfare pixels, keep it a clickfest".

It took time and effort, talking to people every day, listening to their concerns and explaining why a roll would be better for everyone. Slowly we converted people until there were just one or two hold-outs left, and then the peer pressure from everyone forced even those hold-outs to change.

I'm not saying it's easy, but if we got the roll started in the first place, and a longer delay would be better for everyone, then it's absolutely possible to switch ... it just takes time and effort.

when many people show up and say the 10 second rule is terrible maybe it should change. imagine being the type of person who enforces a 10 seconds roll law on peopel that have sat at the camp for a hours. dumb af.

They don't call it angry goblin for no reason
