That's a tutorial. What you're describing is a tutorial. A really shitty tutorial. What we actually need is a real tutorial. I'm sure nobody will bother doing that because nobody gives a shit about the new player UX.adamkad1 wrote: If you actually were not a retard and read what is said, i kept proposing a quiz with answers being LITERALLY COPYPASTEABLE FROM WIKI (can it even be called quiz then...), therefore you dont really need to know how to play the role, you just need to prove you are literate and applied RTFM (Read the f'ing manual)
I am against time gating and it never was the intent of this suggestion, people only derailed it into it for a reason i cannot fathom. Time gating solves no issue, you dont gain experience in something by doing entirely different things/solely watching others do it.
Simply force people to skim over the wiki, because its not hard. If you are typing in here, that (probally) means you are literate enough to read a wiki page
I also do not have anything against people who play a role bad, as long as they have SOME idea how to play it. People trying but failing are hilarious. People who have no idea what they are doing arent hilarious as often.
And for my own opinion (heresy i know) Losing is !!FUN!!, but only if i atleast knew what i was trying to do
i mean, when we tried adding animations to show things like pickups people threw a hissy fit about it making the game too easy so I mean we'll need to start banning thos epeopleMisterPerson wrote:That's a tutorial.

Tough shit, do your job and report people who shit up the comments. We'll have less people shitting up PR comments if it results in a github vacation every time they do it.somerandomguy wrote:Reporting is what got astral found out

Anyway, A) people would have to know where the wiki is and have it open when they get a chance to ghost role antag. B) reading the manual doesn't make you good at the role, it means you kinda know the basic mechanics but might not understand what the wiki's actually saying.
By the time the average person reads the wiki page, the chance to get the ghost role has already been taken by people who know what they're doing. While yes, having someone read a wiki page before doing something is better than them not knowing what the fuck they're doing, forcing them to read to even have a chance at the ghost role flies in the face of learning conventions. Some people learn best by doing, or being taught by another person, instead of reading.adamkad1 wrote: A) if you are playing the game, there is a button. B) Its still better than 0 knowledge

Also, who wants to stop watching this wacky spaceman game to read a manual instead of going right into some blob/space ninja/pirate/etc action? What if they read the wiki page and then don't get the role? They just wasted a good minute or two of reading that they could've spent doing something else.
Last thing I'm saying in this thread: you are not entitled to a good blob. You are not entitled to a good space ninja. Hell, you aren't even entitled to a good holoparasite. You're stuck with what you get, so suck it up and stop trying to add more obnoxious gates to things that don't need them.
