You should or you’d be a negligent host.

#1082

But you know that’s pointless! It’s like pointing at an apple, saying “that’s an apple”, and someone cross-referencing it with google to double-check. Why bother? Everyone already knows it’s an apple, nobody’s going to dispute that.

#1083

pretty sure players prefer if I don’t ask the internet if are is a post instead of vote counts

#1084

No, because then you’d have to say that BOTH the host and the internet would be authorities on deciding what is and what is not a word and since the players don’t know the host’ head by heart, it’d still not work.

#1085

I wasn’t the one suggesting we should actually check a dictionary or the internet. I’m just saying it wouldn’t work for that reason, because there would be host bias if you wouldn’t do something like that.

#1086

Okay let’s say that

Players don’t need to know the host by heart lol

#1087

Pretty sure, there is still host bias then though, hence why the setup is flawed.

#1088

Let’s just stop Firekitten we clearly have different host ideologies.

#1089

If the host thinks something is a word
Ignores it

Someone else picks it up and tells the host to look it up

Bam

#1090

Remember when I held you to the letter in the necromancer game? This is like that.

#1091

That’s making the players try and salvage host bias, which is even more terrible.

#1092

Solution

Disclaimer in the OP;I’m using the internet and the words I know. I am a human and may make mistakes. Just let me know if I missed something

easy fix

#1093

That is just saying:

“I might be biased, sorry”

#1094

not really

it’s saying

I’m human tell me if I missed something

#1095

It’s not as fun, when that person suddenly blows you up as a player, when you disagree as a player that it was legit.

#1096

You saw what happened with my dispute with Maxi just now. Just amplify that x10. Why start a flawed setup in the first place.

#1097

That’s the issue here

If a person doesn’t think it’s a word, they look it up or it’s host bias.

I’ll argue that not allowing cookies is host bias

#1098

Of course you’d say that as an American. :smile: If I use a Dunglish expression, you wouldn’t count it as legit either and if you would, then I could just say it was Dunglish in every scenario bypassing the mechanic.

#1099

Easier solution

Force a player to edit the post that didn’t have an actual word in it to an actual word. They can’t edit anything outside of that or it’s a modkill

Easy

#1100

There is still host bias, because the host still has to decide what posts need to be edited or not.
