Because it's outdated and archaic?

[blindreper1179]

Update it then.

What's outdated about it? Just because a thread is old doesn't mean it's outdated.

Point out the outdated information and I'll update.

I'm sure there's more, but off the top of my head, you can post at :00, the limit isn't :59 for phase ends now

[DarkManticoreX2]

Then the phase doesn't end at :00 it ends at :01

It is now Day 0. Day 0 will end on Thursday, June 29th at 11PM CST.

Court is now in session. You may begin posting!

Just to put things into perspective, I have a penchant for taking a very literal meaning for the words people post. I do not extrapolate on the data when it's supposed to be fact.

The post above from gadabout says the day ends at 11:00 pm cst.

To me this means when the clock hits 11:00:00 on the dot the phase is over. 11:00:59 is a different time.

I realize this is minutia, but clarifying the little details is necessary to keep things orderly

[Xiz]

thats why I said "tomorrow afternoon"

>establishes 4 days
> was in lead,saying id get it up immediately
> gets blamed for trying to steal

Looks like some people need to actually read the handboooooook

[blindreper1179]

I always go with not posting at the marker. If it says 11,I try not to post at 11.

And np Manti. I don't really think its outdated, just minor details could be changed.

i think the host should define what words mean

if you prefer "the last minute of the phase is 12:00am server" i can do that, but i've been operating for a while under :00 good, :01 bad (posts ok for mercy but votes don't count), :02+ modkill and i try to remember to post :00 good :01 bad with later votecounts

i think it's conditioned by some people using fennec which runs to the end of the minute you set it to

also if anyone feels like making specific updates or suggestions for updates to the hosting guide i'm sure they're welcome

I talked it over with sunfan and yoshi. And I'm adding this to the handbook:

-----------As a host you have the power to modify the exact time of phase ends to fit you and your players needs, but you must clarify what times are valid and invalid so your players know and can plan for specific phase end scenarios.

[DarkManticoreX2]

Let's point out any other updates in the handbook thread though. We're starting to clutter up host voting. (Mostly me)

[inDheart]

xiz (22)
sunfan (22)
blind (3)

[roundbox]

thesunfan x3

[Charu]

Man, so close

[YoshL]

following rules for the sake of following rules vs. thinking about the actual scenario at hand, and trying to be passive aggressive about it is kinda shit too you know

i'm not really in the mood to argue this kind of stuff so do your thing i guess lol

[Xiz]

Whoopsie daisy guess I hit a nerve.


Interpret whatever however you like, and that's my line.

You do you.

Ex dee

[DarkManticoreX2]

Just a quick clarification on how this process is running, and how I originally desired host voting to go:

At twenty votes, a game is "instalynched" (it becomes the game to play)
After 4 days from the date of the thread being posted (days after the timestamp) the game with the most votes becomes the "game to be played"

It is not yet 7/21/17 @2:56 pm, so voting is still valid, however, Sunfan reached 20 votes with lurker's vote (xiz was at 19, as his vote for himself does not count). By the current rules sunfan's game is instalynched.
