π¨[PETITION] REPLACE WORDS WITH WoF [POLL INCLUDED]π¨
Good afternoon Kovazians,
I have a working theory that no one actually enjoys words. I mean, no offense Sin I know this is basically pulled from [REDACTED], but what is there to like about Words?
1. Is it mentally stimulating? No, spam click the common letters as fast as possible and finish the word based on memory of doing the comp before. Unlike Flags which, with its update, is a great example of a mental comp done well - I'm not learning much of anything from Xylophonically being included because I still dk what it means or what a Xenobiologist does.
2. Is it mechanically interesting? No, again it's about mindlessly spam clicking common letters and getting frustrated when you get Wizard, Voyage and other short words with weird letters back to back. Most of the time I skip this comp because the spamming triggers my carpal tunnel and I just don't enjoy it.
3. Does it have good game integrity? This is the most egregious imo. You are so fucked if you do this competition on a mouse or track pad compared to someone who's tapping the letters. The difference in scores between someone who got mostly long words vs short words is also too severe, but I don't mind rng in comp if that's actually the goal (it doesn't seem intended with words). It also seems to have the widest gap between the average scorers (20-40k) and the cracked gaymers (60k+) which is not great for gameplay variety.
Which brings us to the FAR superior version of this comp - Wheel of Fortune!
Wheel of Fortune basically solves all the issues I outlined with Words
1. It's FUN. Let's face it - we're all a bunch of gambling loving degenerates here. The daily spin, grabber, bingo - all HUGE hits. I would also go ahead and call Deal and Lucky Drop fan favorite competitions. Who doesn't love the feeling of being on the edge of their seat praying that it's their lucky day? I think more of this feeling is always welcome here.
2. It has an ACTUAL mental component. Taking the time to solve a complicated phrase involves far more stimulation than what we're currently getting from Words. It also has more of the flags upside I mentioned earlier of these phrases having some real life value. I feel that currently in words, spamming is incentivized far too heavily above actual solving and I think WoF is great opportunity to slow our obligatory literary comp down a notch.
3. It would be easy to implement. Okay, I might be reaching - but it feels like all the pieces are already there. We have a wheel from daily spin. The UI from Words is already perfect for it, and we know how this comp would work from [REDACTED]. The real show also has all their phrases ever used listed on their website to pull from! (https://www.wheeloffortunecheats.com/phrase) Just grab the ones yet to be antiquated and you got yourself a fan favorite comp!
4. We NEED competition equity. With the introduction of Labyrinth, there is currently an imbalance of competitions favoring mechanical prowess and not enough to reward us mental girlies, or even the social girlies who REQUIRE luck comps to gain any sort of agency in competition based games. We all saw how miserable bb25 got when Cirie and Felicia couldn't gain power to save their lives, let's not invite that same stagnation on Kovaze.
And that's all folks :) Please let me know what you think below!

I think 2min is plenty of time for WOF, idt is was much longer on Tengaged and that was with the wheel spin going so slow. Could just speed the spin up and I'm sure it would be feasible words needs to stay tho wtf it's literally the best comp
Evan i included a both option but maybe it was confusing or people don't agree with having both. personally i think they are too similar and id rather just have wof for comp diversity. what do you like about words?
this doesnt work cause its too long. the dcs are too short for wof. and raising dc timers isnt worth for 1 comp
Kemi does it have to be as long as tg though? i would prefer it being 2:30 and only solving 3-4 phrases than having to play what imo is a bad comp. codebreaker is only a single code and it's a great comp.
Metropolis i mean by the time u spin guess a letter enough to solve a singular puzzle ur time is gonna be up.
Sin said he tried but itβs too complex
Mezcal we have to fight..
Wheel to replace Labyrinth
CarltonRS Maze to replace Labyrinth and WoF to replace Words I said what I said
Metropolis agree
Didnβt read this but yes absolutely
