[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 92857, member: 221"] heh - I didn't say I would quit, I just said the game would lose something for me. I got too much time and energy invested to just chuck everything cuz of one change i personally don't like. (Though I have been wondering about the possibility of a rotating GrandMaster judgeship) I think, honestly, people don't quit the game because they don't advance. I think they quit the game because it becomes slightly monotonous and the lack of advancement is only a symptom of that. This is not a fault of the game per se just a limitation imposed by the medium. IMO the same problem would occur if there was no rank loss. The monotony would simply take a different form. At the same time, the monotony is one of the appeals of the game. It is simple and relatively mindless, kind of like tetris (one of the most addicting games i have ever played) there is no real point to the game but you find yourself coming back to the same actions time and again. I quit playing tetris when I starting dreaming about falling blocks but it was hard. I find the same addictivness inherint in YB but it takes a different shape and requires no falling blocks. Personally I have stuck with it in part because of this but also because I am at heart a rules-tinkerer and I got to tinker with rules. I have been dragging my mind to figure out a way to turn YB into a play at home game but without a firm way to judge the superiority of the moves I have not been able to do it (the subjectiveness is a bit of a problem too.) Personally I find YBA to have more of a point and stick around as much for that as for YB. I do not know why others stick with YB but anyway all this is to say that though I will probably move on at some point in the future to other things (and I figure we all will) I am making no immediate plans to do so. And Vanor when you conduct the poll including the following options if you would -strongly favor eliminating rank loss (will quit if we don't) -favor eliminating rank loss (but won't quit if we don't ) -could care less -favor keeping rank loss (but won't quit if we don't keep it) -strongly favor keeping rank loss (and will quit if we don't keep it) [/QUOTE]
