Just finished up the platinum for this game this morning. Leviathan was more annoying to fight for me than difficult. The camera has a fit if you try to lock on when he's in the air. That whole segment of the fight was just stupid, imo. They need to really improve air combat in FF7R2.

What's generally the cut off for what's considered old or new?
The bounty program was revamped a couple years ago. The older bounty system was in the $10-$60 range. The newer system has a floor of $200 and goes up from there.

Well that was sensible of you. Just out of curiosity, how often do people ask to have their guides removed?
We get removal requests for various content almost every day. It's a pretty straightforward process and we don't mind doing it. The only things we wouldn't remove would be anything from the new bounty program. Like this guy's guide, anything from the older bounty program isn't really a concern for us anymore.

Any word on whether picsmithing will be a thing this year?
We'll open it up after the end of this round. If you want to get a head start, preliminary design is that you create the 240x120 background and then the logos will be in the lower outside corner until selected. That is to say, don't put the logo in the image as we'll be doing that.

Just a few notes..

Last night's late start was caused by a system configuration failure that went unnoticed until 7PM Pacific due to said system configuration failure. It didn't just affect the contest, either. Either way, the late start did not give either game an advantage, so the voting will still end at 5PM Pacific.

Been monitoring the votes as per usual. The overnight spike for Bloodborne was entirely organic, mostly driven by mobile voters coming in from reddit. Nothing suspicious happening.

Finally, we're going to try to get our broken maps fixed up today. We've been recording proper vote locations, but the mapping has been broken. Apologies for the inconvenience.

They are pretty restless being stuck at home all the time. We have school work for them to do and they can play together, but they definitely miss their friends and such.

There's no need for multiple changes. We get that you eventually grow out of a username at some point, but if you're changing over and over, you need to just calm down, lol. Usernames without spaces are a CBSi thing and honestly, I don't think it really brings much to the table offering a space anyway.

@SBAllen

1. Roll back the quote block update.
2. Add likes to post. (note: not upvoting.)
3. Extend the maximum character length of URLs and have the software auto-shorten the link when displayed in post.
4. Return topicality to the poll of the day forum.
5. Condense low traffic forums into one forum. Now that we have tags, three separate forums per game are no longer needed. Threads in one forum can be tagged PS4, XBox, or PC.
6. Forbid the locking of threads in the mod forum except in cases of abuse.
7. Create a forum where people can ask serious questions about their moderations. This is needed more than ever since we dont get feedback from mods under the new vote system. People shouldnt have to beg for clarification in the Hellhole forum.
8. You should be able to see the results of the vote on your moderation dispute. The vote shouldnt be finished until a minimum number of votes are reached.
9. Ill say it again... rotating Leads. Leads should be rotated out every three months. This gives them a break, it gives us a break from them. Everyone wins.

  1. What part exactly? You can still have them show up in boxes if you want in Advanced Settings. If you mean multiple quotes at once, that honestly was just detrimental as people's posts got way too long and it's not any easier to follow the conversation with them.
  2. We've done a lot of research on this and want to do something like this, mostly as a metric for how "good" or "successful" a post/topic is, but we aren't ready to move on it yet.
  3. Our handling of URLs could use some work. It's custom code and I'm sure there are plenty of people who have done it better so it could be a matter of buying/licensing something. We can look into it.
  4. Eh.. there's only so much you can say about each day's poll. It would be a pretty dead board.
  5. We are planning to change our approach from "release-based" to "product-based" this year, which is a fancy description of doing what you're saying (i.e. each product/game only has a single page).
  6. I haven't really noticed abuse here. Can you elaborate?
  7. Having to justify moderations was what caused the prior dispute system to simply not work. The dispute system was never supposed to be a "tell me why this was deleted" system to begin with but rather a means of correcting mistakes. Our set of rules is pretty small, so if you have a post deleted and you dispute and it's upheld, then clearly the bulk of the team feels like your post was against one or more rules. We don't have the time in the day to explain them all.
  8. I'm not sure how seeing the percentage is going to help, honestly. If anything, it's going to just make people more angry when they are close but not close enough.
  9. Rotating leads every 3 months would result in the rules being enforced differently every 3 months which honestly would just be confusing.
Thanks for the suggestions, some can be researched further for sure.

Played Just One over the weekend, was really fun and definitely worth the under $8 I paid for it.

Also got to play Jaws for the first time. I was the shark, swept Act I but barely got beat at the end of Act II due to some bad luck for me and great teamwork for the humans. It's fun though and definitely want to play it more and try out playing a human.

Friends brought over Horrified which I had only heard of and didn't know much about. It was a pretty neat concept but I think it's one of those games where the more people who play, the harder it gets. We spent too much time taking out The Mummy and ultimately lost due to too many deaths even though we were pretty close to finishing the other two monsters (Invisible Man and Wolfman). I'd like to play again sometime but maybe with fewer people or only two monsters.

The Thor hero pack for Marvel Champions should be arriving in the mail today so I'm looking forward to testing him out tonight. Not sure who I want to go up against, maybe Mutagen Formula or Klaw..
