Oh can say something?! Can I say something!? Chloe is right that cheating is usually easier to detect in xsketch, but trolling is far worse. Trolling is not just drawing a penis. Unlike Ryan's other games Xsketch has a guess box which is cleared any time any one sits in, trolls love to stand and sit causing everyone's guesses to be erased. The guess box can also be flooded creating so much guessing noise and making all of the guesses go by so quickly you can't see what others have guessed or if you've spelled something incorrectly. There is also this little warn feature that trolls love to use. With just a few friends you can make sure no one can play at all cause you can warn them all!

My point being, trolling is far worse and more disruptive to the game than it was made out to be. Cheating is usually easier to detect than the other games, but you can be clever with that.

So with all that being said.... I think WE ALL need more mods. Each of the games does. I agree that the other sites Gpokr, and especially Kdice, need more mods overall than Xsketch, but right now all three sites are experiencing a shortage which has it effects on everyone when the few mods we have can't be available.

Plus having played plenty of both XSketch and GPokr I can say XSketch needs mods far more. I don't know about KDice but surely trolling opportunities are far more limited?

Bozuit, not attacking you but just saying: the best is to try and lobby for new mods for all sites.

I know I am lobbying for all sites and I think most other mods do that too. The aim is not to overpolice any site but just to have enough mods everywhere so nobody has to work double shifts (like I am doing on dice) to have a reasonable degree of modding. So mods can take turns and nobody gets burned out because all they do is mod and don't even have time to play anymore.

I first thought xsketch was the easiest site to mod. I agree with PM about the specific problems at sketch, I didn't realise that until I played enough myself. The only "easy" thing about modding on sketch is that the community is sadly so small. Rarely more than 2 tables so easy for a mod to watch most action.

On Kdice we rarely have 1 mod for each 10 active tables and it's a bit the same for pokr.

Ugh, lost a part:

Bozuit, not attacking you but just saying: the best is to try and lobby for new mods for all sites, not only the one you know. You cannot be sure how many problems we have too on dice, unless you play there a lot. So I don't have a problem if you want more mods here but trust me, we all have the same problem of a lack of mods.

Brushing briefly back over the original topic. We are still missing 30seconds of our lovely timer

yeah, sorry, both me and PM posted in the mod forum

Ryan responded that the shorter timer was not intended to stay

But I think he is on holiday atm, I don't think he has access to everything to undo the change atm

Sorry for that inconvenience
