Why don't people play OITC?

There are a lot of issues which may have resulted in One In The Chamber (OITC) having a reduced player base.
For starters, there are a lot of cheaters in the game (refer to my article "[Information] Identifying the Players of Broken Lens) for the types of cheaters). Second, it's one of the most skill-dependent Mini-games in Broken Lens, and most players in Broken Lens (based on my personal experience) don't really like skill-based games and they just want to play and win;however as some of you have realised, winning in OITC is really difficult.

Now, I love playing OITC and I am as devastated as you are that no one plays OITC anymore. But let me tell you that the demographic of the server overall also plays a part in the decline of the mini-game's popularity. The reason why Murder Mystery (MM) is really popular is because of its relatively relaxed atmosphere, you don't need to run most of the time because you can just hide in a spot until the game ends (unless you've been spotted of course). The less intensive nature of the game makes the game fit for any player, of any skill level, of any age.

To summarise my point: OITC is for big kids, Murder Mystery is for little kids.

P.S. I didn't mention lag, because it's already a known fact at this point.

I was talking to the general player base who has tried OITC, but I somewhat agree with your point.

I used to love OITC in 2016. It was the only game I played on BrokenLens most of the time and I even made the passwords to my devices the port for the server (...just don’t ask, okay and I’ve changed them now).

In my opinion, the server suffered severely when Windows10 was added to Minecraft pocket edition and so, the cooldown and pvp completely changed. OITC did require effort before but the general gist was 5 hits and you’re dead but the massive update changed all that, making it require even more effort. People who were used to the old style of pvp, like me, left OITC because of it. We loved the old OITC and we didn’t want to have to relearn everything. After the update, to me, it just became even harder to damage someone, let alone kill them.

Then new games just slaughtered any other hopes we had of it being revived.

Ok, personally, OITC is my FAVORITE game on brlns, it will probably always be. Around June 2016-august 2017, OITC was usually always with at least 67+ players, but now.... the highest is around 80 players at its peak. (and that's for like 5 minutes). There were a lot of games I expected to go dead after MM, and other new games came out, but not OITC. So, can y'all please explain why does OITC, have NO PLAYERS, compared to 2 years ago.
Thanks for your time and have a WONDERFUL day :)

Ig so, when i started i was like 2nd one knocked out, but if y try for a while you'll get the flow (of ourse now most people care more about wins and level) but back in the day, if you wanted to be good at a game, just play it for 3-4 months straight
