@LeonhartFour

Did you ever decide on a rule about @ing people? In case it comes up.


I think I'd like to limit it to reminding trade partners of a save if they haven't shown up or something. I'd rather not use it for stuff like announcing the round has started (which isn't really necessary because Discord covers that for most people) or informing people their save is up because that can easily get out of hand and overload the topic.

makes sense

Isn't having Discord announcements in itself unfair to those without it?

Well, it's not like Leon can regulate an outside application.

Yes, it's an advantage to be on the Board 8 Discord server, but it's really just encouraging people to use it.

Would it be against the rules for someone to email me when the round started? Then my phone would vibrate and I'd know to check.

I'm mostly asking out of curiosity. I don't care to set this up right now because I imagine the two I really care about would survive these early rounds even without me, but eventually getting in near the start matters. I'm also no longer in a position at work to check the board every thirty seconds like I was last year

https://discordapp.com/

You could always create an account, join the Board 8 server, and then be part of the group ping.

There's an app for it on mobile that'll send out a push notification for the ping.

Sometimes it fails to work though...

No, I don't have a problem with it. I've had people ask me to notify them when rounds start in the past, and as has been discussed, Discord does it on a large scale anyway.

I know people miss the random chaos element, but we're getting older and more advanced.

Dante and I have never been a block. You'd have been better off suggesting me and Kleenex back in the day.

Regardless, I was not dating/living with either of them.

Wait THAT'S the qualification for being a bloc? It would have made more sense if it was because we share a lot of favorite characters (and even then that's mostly limited to X as our VII and XII saves of choice deviate quite a bit). If that's the case Jeff/Leon was a bloc along with... well anyone who uses Discord. I would posit that outside of a small handful of saves the two of us do not really vote as a unit.

It's an analogy, but it's exactly why I don't like the concept. I don't want some people having a disproportionate influence over who gets into the contest.

But yes, all trades have to be limited to this specific iteration of the contest.

LeonhartFour posted...
I also don't like the finals being decided by who makes the best trade offers either. If it means some people don't vote because they don't care about either finalist, oh well.

I like this. I hate in SMDC when it gets top Top 30-ish and people's priorities die that they become mercenaries for the best next contest offer. It's dumb.

Eh, the current plan is Genesis to take back over next year so I don't really want to make a rule change right before someone else takes over the contest. That's a dick move.
