Board and Player responses

Do the private chats with the board and players seem to have random responses, like if you had the same chat again you would get a total different response...?

I don't think so. Why don't you save the game, see what the response is, then reload the game and try again?

ok so i tried this to see and got a total different response at the exact same point.... :s bit odd i think.... happend with a private chat with player, private chat with board and a player fine, not very organised is it...?

Why is this?

Well we wouldn't want the game to be completely scripted would we?

You would want each individual to give an honest response based on their feelings of a situation and their attitude and personality, so if i ask the board for more time they say yes, i reload it at the same point before i asked then ask again and they say no that doesnt make sense if they evaluate the situation the same way.

The fact that you get different reactions I see as a huge plus; not a negative.

Too much uniformity & robotic rigidness in a game's performance is surely less entertaining?

i just think decisions should be based on evaluating the situation, and if you done that you wouldnt make two different decisions about the exact same thing at the exact point in time

I agree with this, but if the same question was asked at the very same time after re-loading the game, I think in this instance that the responses should be the same

Yeah thats what i mean

The responses should be directly linked to the situation at the time of conversation.

If a board says "no" then you reload and then they say "yes" then it is based on a random figure process rather than evaluating what the club situation is to warranty a particular answer..

exactly! Its alot more logical like that.

Thing is, if it's random-ish and changes upon reloading, then it's open to being exploited

You get an answer to a board request you don't like? Easy, keep reloading until you get the one you want

I'm fairly certain it's a weighted random response. Ie, depending on your situation asking the board for more time produces X response Y% of the time. Which really, is the only reasonable way to do it.

This is just what i was thinking the consequences could be, good for some people but sometimes you enjoy a game more when you know you have to stick with what happens and if you know you can reload temptation might get the better of you... just a thought...
