So, I've been thinking (I know, that's what that burning rubber smell is).


Our screen names present two liabilities when it comes to this game.

1. It allows for major metagaming. Which is all well and good, but it might be interesting to have a game where we don't automatically focus on Isaac, or obsess whether someone's posting habits are the same as they were last game.

2. It makes this whole "substitute player" thing REALLY confusing. Like, wow. I don't know about you guys, but Isaac's game alone was enough to be a bit confusing- now it seems like half the current game has substitutions. Which is all well and good- much better than just modkilling them all- but it can definitely make things pretty damn confusing, especially when "characters" aren't as memorable and varied as the ones from Isaac's game.



So, I propose... a TWIST!

Next game, the mod creates a dozen (or whatever) new accounts. They could just be "Mr. Green," "Mr. Black," or whatever, or the mod could infuse some meaning into them "One Toothed Man" "Three Breasted Woman" "Ten Foot Tall Eunuch." Then the mod sends out the account information to the players.


This would solve both problems- first, it would make us less likely to focus so much on players and their past habits. Second, it would make replacements MUCH easier- just give the new guy the account information.

Might be a BIT of a hassle for the players, since they'd have to sign in and out, but nothing terrible. Honestly, it'd be even better if we had some sort of "nicknaming" system implemented, but there it is.

What do you guys think?
