New Queue Structure Proposal

[Psyche]

Eh, there has to be pushback for the conversation to work.

[Psyche]

I still have the infrastructure for Project Poll...

[Psyche]

Even normals have light flavor. You've gotta be more precise.

(that was @reck)

Thank you Salamence, for being as useless as ever.

Sorry, should I whine like a little brat?

Oops.

sigh

[Psyche]

I feel like the the Open Queue mediates the line between standard/controlled and interesting much more effectively than the Normal Queue. There we have some of the clearest, most standard setups out there as well as some of the most interesting and flavorful. It's the best of both worlds all at the cost of a little surprise. Of course, normals are rarely ever that surprising.

Is there a rationale behind dividing Opens and Closeds? Or is that mostly historical?

[Psyche]

holy shit

it takes eight hours to send a survey?

I did not know

To design it, get the link, send it out, and go through each game to ensure I'm not sending it twice, yes. It takes awhile

shouldve used project poll >_>

[Psyche]

it would take me less than 5 minutes to get a link to every player of the last n Large and/or Mini Normals

[Psyche]

what is the worth of my life force

[Psyche]

it's not that you're arguing
it's that you're arguing as if arguing is fighting

[Psyche]

if you're afraid of dumb flavor breakers you could reduce their odds further by having mods include a note on flavor in their VCs or Day Starts. But it's definitely not a risk scary or probable enough to justify leaving Normals alone flavorwise.
