Weekly Monday Discussion #7 - Moderation

That’s why I wanted co hosts. Well lets just say first time main hosts need some hand holding to make sure their setup doesn’t suck.

See problem is that I had to out it to avoid game ending on night 1, DESPITE being scum.
If I plaied to my wincon, I would kept quiet about it and… a single misslynch would be enough.

But that would be unfun for pretty much everyone.

Ahhh cmon ;-;

But fair I guess.

If it costed me my fun in order to make sure everyone’s fun was intact, then it’s fine I guess

Wait hold on.

Don’t reviewers need to like add Dat to their PMs to make sure they’re doing a proper job?

If that was how it works, it would require 2 reviewers for all setups.

Meanwhile it should be more like… if you don’t feel like review something, then just don’t take more setups, instead of passing them without working on them.

that’s true, yeah.

Dat was reviewer for SFoL 65.

And Dat said they didn’t give a fuck about this game.
They also said they knew stuff is wrong, but were not in a mood to fix it.

That’s obvious thing which needs to be fixed in review process.

Out of curiosity is that what happened or would you say this is exacerbated

Don’t wanna just take eevees word for it so curious about your take on the situation

Hi yall dat here. Review came during a stressful time about 2 months ago right when I started a new job. I admit that i missed day 1 mylo. I miss things, especially numbers of kp and votes. I’m trying to improve my reviewing with Geydes help. During review I told twi i didnt think day conversion and cops was good. They were still for it after i told them it was problematic. I just didnt have it in me so I let that one thing slide hoping that bad mechanic would show to twi that I was right as the rest of the setup seemed fine (reminder i missed day 1 mylo). I can show the review to others. So when described to eevee i said, “sometimes u get to a setup, where idgaf anymore, this was it. Its playable but the creators intentions dont correlate with what’s right” out of context that would seem like i didnt care about the setup at a whole I was mainly talking about that one part. I can see how my words would be taken wrongly. As I didnt explain my side enough that this can be misconstrued. I mentioned it to eevee later that, “Its like realistically, as 16p game with one less scum member or removing the stupid neut. And gettin rid of the cop and day converts, gane could be fine just it wont change”

Fwiw I don’t think this is a great way to approach it

You have the final say as a reviewer, and like, letting something slide as an I told you so isn’t great for the site as a whole as if we want to increase player retention we need to have good setups

I totally agree. I made a mistake. If u ask some I make many. Theres 0 intention to do so again. I will use this as an example to improve myself

As long as you work on getting better that is fine

Also

Don’t take on stressful things when you’re already stressed smh

And like tbh the queue is long enough that complicated setups don’t need to be and shouldn’t be rushed to be reviewed, since the more shit the more that needs to be looked at and considered

Having 2 reviewers for the more complicated games might be a good idea just to help bounce ideas around and make sure theirs no dumb oversights

One thing I remember Eevee doing when reviewing DGADT was looking at all the killing possibilities and calculating like fastest game could end, longest it could go, and like an average of what could be expected

Yeah I am very bad at that. Cause I like to help others even if it’s at my detriment.

That’s a good idea on paper but when we dont have many active reviewers atm limits who can play games. Hey we looking for more. Dm if ur interested

Yeah I was talking with Geyde on improving in that regard. That was the main thing I think I suck at when reviewing.

having multiple reviewers is like having multiple people driving a car
it doesn’t work
trust me
