Question for devs of 'friendslop' games - do you like the term friendslop? Is it a helpful way to categorize and promote your game, or do you feel it has more negative connotations? Are there other genre defining terms you prefer?

Roadwarden has been at the top of my list for this club for some time. It's a game that didn't get enough love when it came out. The game makes every decision vital for survival as you patrol the road, talk to NPCs, and solve the mystery of what happened to your predecessor.
