Default Re: The definitive Dom3 LP

I could be willing to archive turns for a game, and make notes/observations on a turn by turn basis for it.

But at that point, I might be more eager to pass it on to someone who thinks it would be a fun project to format this into the finished form.

Hmmmm. Perhaps a MP game where every player is intended to do just that, and the entire output pooled to one point. Then the entire game can be analyzed from an overarching view, as well as giving access to archives of each turn, containing every player, so they can be examined in detail.

Just that I know some people may not want to participate in such a thing, because (like me) they have a fairly distinctive playstyle, and perhaps take some unorthodox risks sometimes, assuming no one notices or realizes, but knowing that if they saw how they (or I) played the game, that certain vulnerabilities would become more apparent.

I found the other LP here, where they tried just that with everyone in-game posting...
It's an amusing/good read, too.

Yes, but it was never finished

I think it's important to work with screenshots too, because text alone is a bit confusing.

I doubt it would be a huge problem for players with distinct playstyles to reveal their tricks. I mean, if the tactic wasn't viable strong players would have you countered long ago, and even if it does make things slighly harder for you that's a great opportunity to adapt and improve, n'est-ce pas?
