Also why are we even arguing this
We agree with the same point that host discretion is important
We are now arguing whether hosts listening to me or you is a better idea
oh come on
hosts dont have to listen to anyone regarding this
its their decision
shrug
Nobody gets off FK’s wild ride
we are arguing to allow them to make an informed decision…
Our petty arguing isn’t entirely pointless
It’s only mostly pointless
Exactly
We personally let two people pre-in for Randomizer a few days beforehand, as one would not be available during signups (but showed interest weeks before), and one physically could not type on the forums during signups
Then we said fuck it because people were really interested in the game and had been for a while. Some people wanted to pre-in, and we knew they woulda inned anyways so why not let em in a day or so early
yeet
moral of the story is
you cant trust the system
what would you have done if your game filled with pre-ins
this is where i say banana
This means that pre-ins good because they allowed players that otherwise might get screwed over by irl to join
where does banana come from
banana
it wouldnt have. most people like reading or getting a basic understanding of the setup before joining
but if it filled with pre-ins then it filled with pre-ins
just means people were interested in the idea from the get-go
we understood that could have theoretically happened, when we allowed for pre-ins, but knew it was very very very very very very unlikely
pics or didn’t happen
banana
You would have ran with the pre-in signups?
we could also just do it this way
instead of allowing everyone
we would have stilled opened signups for specs, backups, vcbots, and people to out if need be
but like
we knew it wouldnt fill with pre-ins
thats bonkers
we dont have the playerbase for that, really
