How would you feel if the post minimum was increased?

#7943

it wouldnt do much, really
its more that whats considered ai ontopic everything is really, really vague
increasing the postcount by 5 or something wouldn’t fix it

the question isn’t directed at me sorry but

i mean that’s the level 0 theoretical solution but my intuition says that won’t even really fix the problem

i’m not sure why but i want to say because post minimum as a concept is an objective solution being imposed on a subjective issue

and like atlas said oftentimes the players in question can meet this requirement and still, from the way they are playing, not contribute to actually solving. it’s easy to make posts which can be construed as AI and yet make no progress in solving the game or advancing your wincondition, except for the base “you made your alignment infinitesimally more clear so someone else can solve you”

which is why i think post minimum is a reductive solution unlikely to be effective when i think the issue is more related to underlying motivations and the way people play the game

mehhhh
i can’t really think of anything but trying to encourage people to play more
which would really require either a 1. really big playerlist shakeup (which isn’t really happening) or 2. making the people who play really feel like they should contribute

You all know when nominations end. I won’t be there to formally announce the end of phase.

#7947

set a timer to do so

#7948

you can make your messages send at certain time if you want

#7949

I don’t know how to do that.

#7950

meh
open the console
and type in “timer options”

i think magnus caught onto my plan to make them stay here long enough to close noms

nobody’s really here so

and i don’t have anything to say
i’m just paranoid somethin will happen
so
goodluck!
i’ll be here probably within the next four hours, knowing me
or
i might not be for 14 hours
i kinda never know

People get discouraged when they have to read posts

I wonder what happens if we tag a certain player individually to do something? Maybe it’s something about being heard?

Though generally it’s kind of hard to help when they don’t ask for help

#7953

no dashii is stronger the less players you have
other than that fair enough but i have a soft spot for snakecharmer as a chaos character
somqimes it sucks but the other times its a rollercoaster

#7954

it’s the part where I have nothing better to do
at least, that’s what it is in my head
one can only play so much dbd in a day

#7955

Well wherever you are in your mind, you’re the one that can figure it out.

unironically I think the actual reason is me using it as a substitute for Actual :tm: social interaction
Arete told me this once and it’s probably true

You don’t know what to talk, but you want to talk so you’re using FM as a chance for anyone too speak to you?

#7958

It’s obviously Jake. Just look at his behavior.

#7959
