Atmosphir is meant to be a tool for people to design their own games. Various different types of games are welcomed, with new features such as racing and FPS-elements coming in the future. Yet one type of game that has been under some debate for quite awhile is the RPG genre.
An RPG (Role-Playing Game) is “a game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players have the freedom to improvise; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the game.” (Wikipedia). Supports of this type of genre in Atmosphir support having a leveling system in-game, where you earn points based on your actions in Atmosphir. Some users will rise in the ranks while others fall. Those who are against this idea support a level playing field. No user is better than others in official rankings, only in the eyes of the community.
So what do you think? The Atmosphirian presents this as their first-ever Open Forum question: Do you believe Atmosphir should adopt RPG-elements?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with how a respectful debate works, here are some guidelines:
-Respect the opinions of other people. The point of a debate is to argue a point. Arguing, however, does not mean disrespecting others. Be courteous of what others have said. Acknowledge their points respectfully, but feel free to fight against it as well. Any comments which are deemed disrespectful will be deleted without notice.
-Defend your points. One-line sentences will not help your cause in a debate. Support your argument with solid facts and/or well-thought-out opinions. While you don’t need to write a novel, make your arguments full of information. Use quotes from previous arguments to effectively display what you are fighting.
-Use good grammar and spelling. Whether we notice it or not, we are more likely to take an argument seriously if it is structured well. To ensure your argument reads well, take a moment to proofread it. An alternate option would be to check for spelling and grammar mistakes in a word processor, such as Microsoft Word. At the very least, the forums do have a Spell Check tool.
If this forum becomes too violent, unproductive, or heated, it will be locked. Please stay on-topic, and most importantly, have fun!
