Is there a general consensus on the resubmission of failed arguments? A player of mine resubmitted an argument and was wondering if that was really OK. In...
I would suggest that you examine your game design. Your rewarding flavor arguments over action arguments. If your characters have well defined goals they will...
I think resubmitting failed arugments are fine, unless you have someone who makes a preposteroius argument and keeps making it. In that case I would recommend...
I agree it is often boring to see the same Argument resubmitted, but there is no general rule of which I am aware that reduces the chance of such Arguments...

Players are of course free to make whatever arguments they want. They can build ice castles in the Sahara all day long or they can try to lay ground work for...
... There is no written rule to prevent it. It is up to the referee's judgement to say if it gets stronger, weaker or stays the same. I lok on it like this. ...
... Isn't 18 years of Matrix Games will become popular arguments kind of like some sort of self abuse? I mean really. I effectively made "arguments" to prepare...
Chris, I wouldn't make the suicide argument yet. I think more than a few of us have enjoyed and wasted many an hour playing your games. Maybe in the Wall...
Chris makes some good points about matrix games when they are played face to face you can suggest by body language and verbally that players should take a...
... I would think just repeating an argument over again shows less of an investment in the metagame since it involves no work or imagination. It also has the...
... The literary offenses of Jame Fenmore Cooper...Characters who are dead should remain dead. Characters who are alives should be alive, etc. Good stuff. ...
Here is turn two of this not so solo Matrix Game. Dylan jumped in with a n argument so I only did four arguments this turn. TURN TWO Lyle Nogood -- decides...
Okay, I'm playing this game with characters in a company. The characters are a combination of Dilbert, WKRP in Cincinnati, How to succeed at business with...
Lyle Nogood decides that if he is going to pull of this scam he is going to need to need the support of Bill Nobody. Sure Bill is curse with integrity and...
Dylan You're evil! This exactly what has been happening to the manufacturing plant here in Bloomington (Indiana). Then we go shopping in Walmart - Chinese...
Chris, Don't see why your so upset about prison labor being used to make those wonderfully affordable Chinese products. It's called rehabilitation, surely your...

a variant you could introduce where young maidens are chased around a field and carried off. I can see the gab women idea as a flash game online. It would...
I think many sports games can be broken down to a goat grab. That's why I am interested in your game. Heck the whole social order can be broken down into those...
