HelpRe: ATTN photo congrats hosts and players
in reply to a message by Tippins
Just thought to make my own comment on this as no one has spoke in favor of these yet.
For reason A, I definitely understand the reasoning behind this- although I am not one of them needing so- the taking up space for people with slow connections part of it. However, the interest part I am not, there are plenty of games that people take different interests in and the ones they don't do take up space too (for example, for the longest time I disliked eliminations- now when some people have had long lists of names in these, they too have taken up long lengths of the page- but hey, getting more finger exercises to roll the page down to skip it! :P )
Also with space, saying that we don't start any more is fair, I believe there are three or four currently running- the games all run in trends and I know that when the last four or five topics are the same game it does get annoying. However, when they end is it fair to start new games or are we attempting to let this game die out?
For a point of it being a game, well, it is, imo. Its congrats to a new level- the contest part is a little iffy, but the winners get wishes which is just as fair as the person who has the best name for a child (vote on by the host of the game). And then with Keepskuh's Congrats, she includes events, etc. So definitely worthy of the title game (as much as any other game on here is a game- not sure what qualifies as a game... but hey CAFs and Congrats are so why not these ones?)
As for ethical-ness and creepiness: well, if someone models for stock images or hey, if someone posts photos on the internet without having a flash website or other means of protecting the photos or watermarks over them, they should know better. Straight-linking from the websites has come to annoy me as that is what most websites dislike as it takes up memory/space for them too. Does that say anything about creepiness too? I mean, people post names from birth announcements too- that shares kids real names and the names of their siblings, etc and asks us to judge those real kids' names too. Idk... maybe I've been playing on role-playing and Dream Family boards too long.
Also, are your opinions the same for adoption games with photos? Or is this focused on the congrats games?
I hope I don't upset you, or anyone, just wanted to share from the other side because I am sure that I'm not the only one who feels in favour of them.
