#WokeRace thoughts after playing a few times - i have a love/hate relationship with how confusing it gets to calculate your scores. i love it bc it got pretty easy in old Race to figure out whether you'd be last if a comp repeated in the game, but hate because i want to at least be able to have a ballpark guess at my duo's score. i know Sin said all bonuses are applied pre-transport but either an on-screen updated score with your bonuses (pre-transport) or some sort of order of operations would help. if i have two items that do different % bonuses (like headstart and inspiration for example) do i get those percentages added together applied to my original score? or is there one that comes first? and then ALSO what score gets the transport applied - is it ur original score or the score after your bonuses? i know that's a lot of questions but that's what confuses me - creating parity and giving newer players the ability to succeed is good but i still feel like we need either like... newbie lobbies where they know their partner isn't gonna scream at them, or some sort of seeded pairings (1st place and 18th place in the qualifiers paired, 2nd and 17th etc.) either way though i've played almost as many Race games since last night than i did in the month of March lmao so i'm. enjoying it for now

i get killed in Royale it’s because someone didn’t trust me for a very incorrect reason. most people in this situation would refuse to look inward and consider the possibility that they’re the problem and honestly that’s exactly what i’m gonna do. if we are working together and you have a question / feel mistrust about what i’m doing you can literally just ask. even if i don’t want to tell you i don’t really lie these days so i probably will if you ask me

is really just big and greedy like there's truly no purpose

get it bc Kiss is one of the funniest people on this website to me there’s just something so camp about blogging that you’re putting the items in your shop on sale only to lower them to like 1,200 Koinz each

about how the reason this community didn’t grow for a decade is bc no steps were taken to make Tengaged more accessible to new users but then i realized some of you have an evolved form of stockholm syndrome and are content cranking hog on a Discord video call with the same people you were friends with before you had your drivers license so what’s the point tbh

Race updates are very good imo. i can understand concerns about losing the simplicity of the game, but i kind of think the simplicity is what made it become a little boring. once you played enough Races you basically knew exactly what transport to do every time and i just don’t see what’s fun about that these power-ups add just enough strategy to where it gets the gears turning in your brain but still makes the challenges the main component. things like the Inspiration power-up add some parity to the game and balance out a comp beast paired with a new player and the other power-ups occupy very fun necessary spaces the only two pieces of feedback / questions i have are: when you have a power-up that gives you a % bonus, is the bonus applied before or after transport - or are they added together then applied as one? and then my non-question but piece of feedback is i think some sort of sidebar with the power-up icons and descriptions would help a lot

two Races filled in 11 minutes and another at 8/20 it's almost like updates drive engagement with this website... who knew...

i'm choosing peace for once.

THIS GAME HAS BEEN CRAZY! From being up on the block to staying and regaining charge of the house what a ride it's been! Gonna need all the votes I can get but either way I'm very proud of my game play! CHOOSE YOUR HEART AND VOTE MOTHERFART <3

of "this thing sucks" -> Sin makes changes to the thing -> "this thing was better before the changes" is soooooo laugh out loud funny in a way i can't explain and i don't mean the people who provide thoughful, well-constructed feedback. but i watch the same people preach both sides of an argument on different days and i guess i wonder what WOULD make you happy

how to phrase this eloquently, and also not make it sound like i’m being shady re: Akshar’s blog - bc i’m really not, and i agree with the sentiment there BUT LIKE sometimes it feels like we try to overcorrect as a community. we shouldn’t have Tengaged levels of toxicity over a virtual Hunger Games that takes 8 hours, especially when most of you are pushing 30. but ALSO i don’t think we can crucify anyone for being mad when they’re backstabbed and posting a shady blog. literally last night while i was typing my hate blog about hwest14 we made amends in Discord DMs. sometimes it’s just funny to be mean

if i ever throw light shade at you in a comments section it means i DON’T hate you the people i hate on this website will never get my acknowledgement

any time i write a blog with SAT words and don’t parrot the same phrases everyone else does y’all treat me like i’m Shakespeare or something who knew i’d use my communications degree to wax poetic about how obese the people on my Barbie dress up Big Brother site are

please please please please please heed my words and give sweetheart a pity win so he stops enrolling i will never crucify someone for playing the game but i will never respect is playing needlessly shady and then acting like the victim to your much dumber less literate friends when people call you out on it. like how are you gonna be in an alliance chat campaigning to kill all of Airi and IceBeast’s allies then immediately run to Envious and paint a different narrative i will always respect GOOD gameplay but i think with the amount of time you spend stalking for popups you would’ve won already if you played a coherent social/strategic game

the only thing more annoying than being killed by people i was actively trying to work with is hwest14 trying to do the same airhead act to me that he does to all the other horny gay troglodytes who could never even fathom having sex irl like when i am sitting and looking at the screen seeing “hwest14 sniped shrimp for 5 damage” and then the immediate PM from saying he didn’t do any damage to me to ME ur built like Squidward’s house and sound like the Hawk Tuah girl i am not one of these incels you’ve been misting for 20 years

Sin rigs the Royale raffle against Envious because he knew any time he makes it in he’s gonna play really poorly and dickride people who hate him

and say that i think Frenzy should be the lowest priority gamemode for updates Frenzy is aimed at the new users who quite literally don’t know any other way. i think the reality is a community thrives with user retention and ChrisUnderwoodsHardCock19 doesn’t care whether Frenzy has a jury chat. i’m not saying the gamemode sucks but i feel like so many people will register and play like three Frenzy games then never return. and i promise thats not bc they didnt get to be in the Offbeats clique in clique Frenzy

我們曾約定透過轉盤抽籤來決定勝者──結果轉盤連續兩次都選了我──而你卻趁機搞偷襲，把我殺了。就讓這篇文章向大眾揭露你的真面目吧。 Dustin，言語已無法形容我此刻內心是何等的憤怒、沮喪、受傷與挫敗。你的所作所為簡直他媽的惡毒至極，是對我最徹底的背叛。我曾全心全意地信任你，對你也一直保持著極度的尊重。在這個網站上，你不僅是我認識的第一批好友之一，更是我**最好的朋友**。我實在無法理解，你怎會為了一個遊戲而捨棄一段真摯的友誼。我曾經信任你，也珍惜我們的友誼 :/ 但顯然，這只是我的一廂情願。那不只是為了遊戲勝負，更是一個關乎人品的個人抉擇──這一點你自己心裡也清楚。你的道德底線究竟在哪裡？我們明明已經討論過由誰來贏得勝利。我渴望拿下我的首場勝利——正如任何玩家在如此拼命投入之後都會有的渴望一樣。我從未在「大逃殺」（Royale）模式中奪冠；為了這場遊戲，我簡直拼盡了全力、累死累活——除了 @disabledqueen143 的那次擊殺之外，其餘每一次擊殺我都參與了助攻；我什至連續熬了28個小時沒睡，只為玩好這一局。雖然你先前早已拿過「大逃殺」冠軍，但我依然能體諒你的心情，也尊重你的理由；我當時甚至覺得，你也同樣配得上這場勝利。我並沒有主動攻擊你。我態度友善，選擇了透過溝通來解決問題。最後我們商定採用「轉盤抽籤」的方式來決定歸屬，因為這是唯一能確保我們雙方都不會感到「意難平」（salty）的公平方式——這一點我們當時都已達成共識。結果轉盤連續兩次都指向了我，判定由我獲勝。當時在 PGA 語音頻道裡的其他人都聽到了，也證實了轉盤確實選定了我。儘管如此，我心裡多少還是覺得有些過意不去；但既然結果是公平抽籤得出的，我也只能接受。我當時還刻意向你承諾：在未來的遊戲裡，我會繼續盡力協助你，一如既往地堅定地站在你這邊。我表現得非常有耐心且友善，甚至主動問你：“你是想自己吃下漿果（自殺出局），還是希望由我來動手擊殺你？”結果你回了一句：“給我一點時間（讓我緩一緩）”，隨後便把麥克風靜音了。我回答說“沒問題”，然後就在原地靜靜地等你回來——結果換來的卻是你他媽的卑鄙偷襲！我立刻傳送逃離現場，一邊苦苦哀求你住手，一邊質問你：「搞什麼鬼？！我們明明已經說好了由我獲勝，讓我拿下我的首冠啊！」然而你卻置若罔聞，繼續用狙擊槍追擊我，哪怕我再三向你求饒，你依然窮盡，非要把我趕盡殺絕不可殺絕。想到你竟然能對自己的朋友做出這種事，我內心深處感到無比的噁心與厭惡。我從未想過要做出這種背信棄義的勾當，也從未想過要違背我們之間既定的約定。如果當時的情況反過來——即由你獲得了勝利——我一定會真心實意地為你感到高興。我真搞不懂，你怎麼能做出那種傷害好朋友的事，事後竟然還能心安理得地過日子。 我只希望，為了靠作弊手段換取那個虛假的「第二名」勝利，你覺得失去一位摯友是值得的。 我原本對我們倆一起做很多事充滿了期待——尤其是夏天時一起看色情片 :/ 在我們做朋友期間，我曾特意費心為你製作 Kovaze 服裝，也曾向你敞開心扉，傾訴許多非常私密的心事。真正的朋友絕對不會做出那種事。你那樣做，不只是在玩一場遊戲，而是直接傷害我。

i was in this Royale for 2 hours and no one DMed me so i kind of assume i will be losing this one badly but like. what if i didn't

but i kind of hate that i can't click on an ongoing game from the homepage and go to that game. like why does that section exist then
