How do you write logs?

I wanna know how people create logs so I can perfect mine.

(No class in particular)

My Glossary -

NR - (all support and knight claims will have this if nothing important to return) Not Required

ORI - Occupation and Redirection Immune.

XRY - (X - target 1, Y - Target 2) targeted X initially redirected to Y

Locked - Occupied

Prince’s - Visit jailed target

IV - investigate

SC - Scout

SoSu - Social Support

KiOf - Killer Offensive

SpIv - Special Investigative

N#: Action | Result |

Name - Prince

N1 - Jail # (Claim)
N2 - Jail # (Claim)

Name - Maid
Starting: #

N1 - MM [(Starting #)] - (Matching #) (Match!/Incompat)
N2 - MM [(Last #)] - (Matching #) (Match!/Incompat)
(In the case of a N# occupation)
N2 - MM [(Last # here)] - (Matching #) (Match!/Incompat)

I did 2 logs. Any questions?

I use none of these abbrevations, Jake, and wouldn’t understand them when I see them ingame O_o

Yikes. Priestess wouldn’t know mine then

I mean most of your logs are easy to understand with context, (like a princess claim with spiv in it’s logs) But a lot of it is things i’ve never seen

But yeah, Marshal wrote a lot of the common abbrevations down. Basically, every abbrevation which gets used by a lot of people is understandable.

explicitly identifying the starting or latest maid match is unnecessary and a waste of space

it should be clear from the rest of the logs what the starting match was (e.g. the first player listed N1)

Writing down the starting target of the Maid is important :eyes: it helps a lot avoiding confusion

if maid logs were standardized like obs logs are there would be no confusion

and no wasted space

n1 match 2|4|match
n2 match 4|3|incompatible

it’s obvious that 2 is starting match, because it’s the starting number

Yeah, but we don’t have a 100% standardized log, because everyone writes his logs a bit different, and that’s fine. There’s not the one right solution.

the obs got standardized to 3, 4 > 10 > x and now nobody seems able to read any other format

not even me

the same clearly needs to happen with maid because they are writing matches in different orders and getting misunderstood
