Moving to the Univesal ## Format - Discuss

[Lord Gurgi]

I don't see why ## is such a great amount of work for a player, people generally require unvote. As a mod this makes it easier for me, and I don't think that it is a lot of work for the players.

Players who would pass up an otherwise good game just because of the ## rule need to stop being lazy.

Gasp, you say, he calls the players lazy when everyone else calls the mod lazy. Well yes, players are lazy. Have we gotten to a point where players don't read the rules?

[Lord Gurgi]

JDodge, if a mod asks you to read the rules ahead of time,

do it

.

I am surprised that so many people are willing to join or not join games based on two hash signs.

[Lord Gurgi]

If them making mistakes under the current system is frequent to the point we need to change an

entire system

just to hold their hands, they shouldn't be modding.

It's not an

entire system

it's two extra characters. It takes something like 4 seconds extra to type ##vote instead of vote. It's really not a big deal, or even a small deal.

Its a system that has worked for years and only isn't working cause we've been inundated with a series of lazy/incompetent mods.

Do you have a problem with change?

With unnecessary change that only stands to coddle the incompetent/lazy.

Refusing to put ## in front of your votes is either incompetence or sloth.

[Lord Gurgi]

The 'Do you have a problem with change?' comment was a joke, in bad humour admittedly, but a joke.

ZONEACE, I use this in an ongoing game. You are calling me lazy or incompetent for using it, I disagree with that statement, and think that people refusing to join a game over something like that is ludicrous.

I never said that everyone should do it, I said that it should not be a deciding factor in joining a game, and that refusing to do it is laziness (This is while in a game that requires it, of course).

[Lord Gurgi]

Here. For added bonus, For the same game.

[Lord Gurgi]

My point is that it makes it easier for me as a mod, and I do not feel that it is a significant effort on the part of the players.

[Lord Gurgi]

I suspect JDodge thinks the rule is a mistake.

I'm not getting the psychic messages as well as I used to.

[Lord Gurgi]

You intend to prove that we are lazy by making it harder for us to do it the way we like?

[Lord Gurgi]

I read my game actively, then search for the votes when it comes time to make a votecount.

[Lord Gurgi]

...

Search means use the search function.
