little wilson Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 The list of who passes and such is something that we were tracking on the Master Doc, which you guys didn't have access to. But I've now linked it in the GM list post for view only mode, since there's really no reason why it can't be available. For convenience, here it is again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 What's the rules for using computer programs that can track player's online times? I was planing on asking Mestiv for a custom sog, but such a custom sig would track who viewed my sig at what time as a side effect. Is that allowed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliasSheep Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Can I sign up to run a QF? It'd be the spy themed one from this post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planing on asking Mestiv for a custom sog, but such a custom sig would track who viewed my sig at what time as a side effect. Is that allowed? The simple answer is no. The more complicated answer is that if you can write a program that can merely expedite something that you are already able to do yourself, that's fine. If you cannot write a program or the program you've written does something that you wouldn't be able to do without the program, you can't use the program. What this means is that if you have the skills to write programs, you cannot share them with other players--unless you're sharing them with everyone. You also can't have a program do something that you cannot do. Like writing an encryption program where you wouldn't be able to decode the message (or write a new one) without the program. Or checking online times/places of users when you're not online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sart Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Thanks for having that doc up, it really helps tone down the confusion. Anyways, sign me up for the Quick Fix GM list with my Defending Elysium game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrae Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) I'd like to GM either a QF or a MR, whichever needs more GMs. Game is The Aftermath of Elantris, which I put in the Game Creation thread. EDIT: actually, put me on the QF list. Edited May 29, 2016 by Arraenae 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conquestor Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I would like to GM a long game and a QF. Edit : Well actually, I would like to try out the new GB concept that was talked about in the game creation thread, for the QF. I have a concept for that, that might or might not work.

Elbereth Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Once the current QF finishes, signups will go up. (Based on previous games, that'll be about a week or so.) LG23 signups should go up in a couple of days as well. Welcome! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) On mobile, mentions are highlighted in black. What would people think about using mentions instead of red text to vote for players?

Gamma Fiend Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 1 minute ago, The Only Joe said: On mobile, mentions are highlighted in black. What would people think about using mentions instead of red text to vote for players? It might definitely be easier to see the votes like that, with the highlight they get, but I can see that getting very confusing and possibly abused very quickly. While it would give notifications to let you know you've been voted for.... would you really want a separate notification for every vote posted on you? Especially if they get retracted later on?. And how would we change the colors of retracted votes then? I think the redtext/greentext works a lot easier, and is much simpler. But that's just me. Also, you can still mention people to give them a notification at the same time as voting for them, so it'd still be able to accomplish the same thing, without muddling anything else up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little wilson Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well, I guess that's one way to get my attention to a topic.... The biggest problem I can see is that some people will want to mention someone to draw their attention to a comment but they don't want to vote for them. And, as Gamma mentioned, retracting would still require coloring. One possibility is using the highlight feature we have now. Something like this: Joe and Joe. Though it makes it a little hard to read. Maybe bolded? Joe. Joe. That has possibilities.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STINK Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Simplest solution I see is to just Bolden and Capitalise your vote. That should be possible for everyone, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STINK Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Cause isn't your whole thing about how on mobile if the colours are kept it'll be impossible/hard to vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's any different from before. It's just that I have no clue how to highlight text with BBCode so that doesn't let any of the mobile users vote. [ color] is pretty well known by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
