[POLL] Replay Redux

Liberty's Edge 5/5 **** Venture-Captain, Missouri—Cape Girardeau

A lot of debate has been posted on a myriad of threads about the new Replay rules. Rather than post on an older thread, I figured the best way to get a general feel for the Pathfinder community's opinion on this was to start a fresh thread with just one proposal. Think of this as the on-line equivalent to a petition. No debate is needed; just a +1 or -1 is needed to the proposal.

The Proposal:
As has been posted by myself and many others, we agree that unlimited re-play is bad for PFS. We also feel NO re-play is bad for PFS growth. So I propose this as an alternative, that balances the two.

The Rule of Two
Play it twice, receive two chronicles.
Play it once, then GM, receive two chronicles.
GM it once, but then play it later, receive two chronicles.
GM it twice, receive two chronicles.

If you are in favor of this, simply post a +1. If you oppose, post a -1.

Please, no explanations or debate; there are other threads for that on the same subject. Thank you for your participation.

No, I can't follow directions. Sorry. :(

There are many better solutions to this problem. I'd rather have one that doesn't minimize any judging incentive.

-1 Don't want replay, but I do want more GM for credit, something like:

1) GM for full credit once (full gold, full PA)
2) GM for partial credit 3 times (half gold, 1 PA)
3) GM for limited credit infinite times (100 gp for all tiers, zero/0 PA)

Excellent Avagadros shout-out.

-1, because I can't remember Plank's Constant off the top of my head.

Instead of whining about replay, how about all of these folks being upset about the lack of scenarios write and submit a few??

I plan on submitting an idea. My problem is I have a mod to finish for the Witch Hunter campaign and a charity mod to work on for the Heroes of Rokugan campaign first. Yeah, when I dive in it's at the deep end.

As I understand it, there is still a 2 module/month bottleneck due to the work on Paizo's end of even prepping/editing a module for society play. Even when the author does as much work as possible for them, barring a change in the 2 module/month arrangement it doesn't matter how much this writing is done.

It also doesn't matter that you're making a +1/-1 poll on a board, to be frank.

Sovereign Court

Do you really think that if the Society is growing by leaps and bounds, players are clamoring for more adventures, and more and more adventures are being submitted that Paizo would not devote the resources necessary to remove that bottleneck??

They already said at this time they just don't have the man power for it.

That said, that should not stop anyone from submitting for the Open Call!

You are totally missing what I'm saying. I know they currently don't have the manpower for it, but if 2 out of 3 parts of the equation are in place (growth of OP and demand for more scenarios), and fans supply the 3rd (more submissions) I can guarantee you Paizo will hire the help they need to remove that bottleneck.

In the future.

+1 (As in much better than what is being offered now)

As a current PFS GM, I never saw replay as being a problem.

Maybe this is true to an extent but last I heard they were still looking for good scenarios and the open call is I believe still open. I sent a pitch in anyhow.

Hey everyone,

I appreciate the sentiment behind this thread but it's not really a subject that's up for a vote. That and we don't need 3 threads essentially talking about the same thing so I'm going to be locking this thread after this post.

Thanks,

Hyrum.
