@CodyGray Thank you, I was remembering that from the conversation about increasing flags cast, but I guess that conversation was specifically about people who were submitting for proof.
Hey, another service I use is beginning to experience spam. I've learned stuff about how spammers operate from interacting with Charcoal HQ. Is there an explainer I could link that helps explain the how/why of spam? Like, from what I know most spam is generated by people in low socio-economic strata who are looking for basically proof of spam that we make untenable by deleting too quickly. (Weirdly the place we're seeing spam is a contact form that goes nowhere public but gives you a receipt.)
I still remember this. Give people time ahead of the game to catch up and socialize, then find ways to create a palpable transition into “game time”. Then implicitly make a clean cut and return to socializing once it's done (even if the socializing is to say goodbye and part ways for the day).
I don't have much experience with play-by-email games, so these are probably less useful in that context, I'm afraid.
Don't be subtle.
For any of these strategies, tell the players straight up what you're doing and why. Solicit their opinions and ideas, and create space for feedback about the t...
i think it has like, two lines at the top that answer the question by asserting it works a certain way without explaining why. i guess the tangent is about showing that it should work a certain way because it'd be bad otherwise?
This answer from a newer user appears to be going on a tangent rather than answering the question, but I'm not sure what advice to give them right at this moment: rpg.stackexchange.com/a/213159/1204
5e dips into old rules a lot, but they didn't keep that bit: in 5e you're “blinded for the purposes of looking at something in darkness”. which is intuitive: i have trouble seeing you, someone else in darkness will have trouble seeing you, you have no trouble seeing me.
in 3.5e, if you are in darkness, you are blinded. this means if i am standing in sunlight, and you're next to me in darkness, you are blinded and have trouble seeing me. (not because of the brightness, but because you're in darkness, which makes you blinded.)
Personally I voted to close two questions in the last 24 hours because both seemed unclear what the actual problem or research effort was. I have no issues with asking questions about an open or closed beta or a limited release and don't consider that a valid reason to close a question—we've had plenty of questions about beta tests in the past and it's always the case that only a limited set of people can maybe answer a question. However, low-quality question seeding for unreleased and barely-released products is an issue we are trying to look out for.
@AmethystWizard This is like complaining that you're parking your car in the same lot each day and being visited by the same one or two parking attendants.
